“the amount of money companies are mandated to pay into these funds has been vastly under-calculated, and these bond pools are also facing insolvency.”
For more than a century-and-a-half, the forests, streams, and hollows of the Appalachian Mountains have been scraped and gashed to unearth their heart of rich black coal. These lumps of hydrocarbons historically played a vital role in America’s electricity mix, accounting for a third of the country’s energy production as recently as 2008.
But over the past decade, a devastating combination of forces has pummeled the industry, from cheap natural gas and the falling cost of renewables to growing public pressure to respond to the climate crisis. U.S. coal production has dropped 40 percent since its peak 12 years ago, and the commodity accounted for only 14 percent of the country’s electricity generation last year.
With the coronavirus pandemic now stalling energy demand, coal production has dropped about 26 percent in the past 12 months alone, perhaps ringing the death knell for coal as an energy source in America.
“The pandemic has even further depressed the use of energy, and oil prices have collapsed, making it even more difficult to compete,” said Ohio Coal Association president Mike Cope, who estimated a strong industry would need to provide a third of the country’s energy. “Nothing really to cheer about in the coal industry these days.”
Hit with another wave of bankruptcies, King Coal is on its deathbed. But even as it fades away, the industry could land a final, painful blow to communities and the environment in Appalachia.
An investigation by DeSmog has found that several key financial instruments meant to guarantee environmental cleanup have been pushed to the brink of insolvency, potentially leaving taxpayers on the hook for hundreds of millions — if not billions — of dollars in reclamation costs.
Even as coal companies go bankrupt and walk away, a federal law passed in 1977 created an ostensibly fail-safe system to fund future cleanups: Mining companies put up millions of dollars in security deposits intended to pay for reclaiming individual mines. These funds, called bonds, usually come as surety policies, which are provided by insurance companies and guarantee a third party will fill pits, seal shafts, and mitigate water and air pollution.
But DeSmog has found that the bonding system now faces dangerous levels of risk. The large insurance companies that once wrote surety policies are fleeing the industry, allowing a few insurance providers to take on much more liability than they can handle. If enough coal companies go under, it will set off a chain reaction, taking these insurance companies down with them.
“Subsidized livestock already outnumber wild horses and burros by over 37 to 1, yet livestock overgrazing is a top cause of damage to federal rangelands.”
Environmental travesties are on the rise, many obscured by the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the biggest ones will soon be taken up by Congress.
In its long-overdue report to Congress, the Bureau of Land Management proposes capturing and removing 220,000 wild horses and burros over 10 years to achieve its unsupported, arbitrary “appropriate management level” of 26,690 — a near-extinction population level.
It will cost American taxpayers $1 billion to expel these animals from the dedicated rangelands where they currently live at no cost to taxpayers. Thousands of wild mares could be subjected to ovariectomy, a discredited, brutal form of sterilization. In the end, hundreds of thousands of once-wild animals will languish in crowded holding pens — and taxpayers will be footing the bill.
Wild horses are federally protected animals. The 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act established their ranges as dedicated habitat to be “managed principally ” for their welfare. Flouting this law, the BLM has removed wild equids from nearly half of their designated 52 million acres. Now, government machinery is accelerating to remove most of the rest.
The BLM plans to wipe out three herd management areas in Wyoming’s famed Checkerboard and sterilize an entire herd in a fourth — “zeroing out” 2.5 million acres of their habitat for continual use by privately owned livestock.
In Nevada, the BLM intends to eliminate six herds in the Caliente Complex, imprisoning 1,700 wild horses at taxpayer expense. They will also take 1,800 wild horses from Oregon’s Barren Valley, proposing sterilization as “management,” killing off the “wild” in these wild horses.
The Bureau of Land Management has spent the pandemic churning out rapacious public land projects at breakneck speed. This includes egregious grazing decisions drastically increasing livestock numbers for powerful ranchers. After complaints, Idaho BLM Director John Ruhs responded that ranching was an essential service.
At the same time, an avalanche of BLM deforestation projects hit. Ely BLM’s Long and Ruby Valley Watershed Restoration EA decision arrived by certified mail, authorizing more grotesque pinyon-juniper carnage and smashed roller-beaten sagebrush across 136,000 acres of public land. That’s 213 square miles laid to waste within a nearly half million-acre landscape, plus blanket tree removal around all springs.
It’s the latest in a dismal series of cookie cutter projects tearing apart the Great Basin. BLM’s 2008 land use plan (the Ely RMP) is based on radical deforestation and sagebrush reduction. At that time, sage-grouse were not the primary excuse for these projects. Hazardous fuels reduction was all the rage. Nowadays, both are knotted together. The RMP has served as a springboard for watershed-by-watershed decimation of native forests and sage communities, and their migratory bird and other wildlife inhabitants across the District’s 12 million acres.
The Modeling Con: Restoration = Plant Community Destruction = Livestock Forage Grass
BLM concocts models of supposed historical plant communities using inputs that ignore actual historical accounts of sagebrush and pinyon-juniper occurrence and characteristics. The models are acronym laden, confusing, and help facilitate destruction of woody plants that ranchers don’t like. Short fire return intervals and sketchy fuels assumptions from the Landfire website are plugged in to the models.
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) has been deeply involved in pushing this dubious forest and sage dooming methodology. Once armed with voodoo vegetation models, BLM claims trees should not be growing where they are found across Nevada’s mountain ranges, because the models predict frequent fires would have kept forests from persisting. BLM also adds in a scheme based on arbitrary “phases” (amounts of canopy cover) to justify clearing away trees. Anything to keep a forest from being a forest. This has long been the playbook for obliterating trees in Nevada.

Betrayed by hospice with Marsha Joiner – Wednesday, June 24, 2020
#34 Guest Ron Panzer founder of Hospice Patients Alliance
Typically we discuss hospice issues and the fact that our loved ones are being euthanized daily under the guise of compassionate hospice care. That is still occurring but now; our loved ones are being further taken advantage of with covid19 virus and the callousness of the medical profession!
Ron Panzer brought light to stealth euthanasia when he exposed the truth about what hospice was doing to people under the guise of compassionate care. It was far from compassionate and was premeditated murder with the use of opioids and antianxiety medications which caused terminal sedation until they died a horrible death from starvation and dehydration. He founded Hospice Patients Alliance whose mission is to promote end-of-life care that relieves suffering while allowing a natural death in its own timing and not hastening death.
He has stayed focused on this as well as recently the effects of COVID19 and all of the fictitious data we are hearing every day! Please join us to hear the truth about what is going on with data to support what he is saying and how our loved ones are still being targeted.
Thank you for joining us tonight for this very informative show.

The COVID-19 pandemic, and the surrounding mass hysteria pushed by the media, is being used as an excuse to push technology that could destroy privacy rights forever.
One of these Orwellian innovations is an invasive health ID card that will store an individual’s biometric information, and allow it to be scanned and shared. If an individual’s health ID data was considered up to par, they would be allowed to participate in society. If they could not meet state-mandated health standards, they would be shunned and quarantined as a result.
The tech firm CLEAR has invented the Health Pass to link biometric information with a federal CDC database. CNBC believes that these sort of devices could become a multibillion-dollar industry in the age of pandemics and biological warfare.
“Just like screening was forever changed post-9/11, in a post-Covid environment you’re going to see screening and public safety significantly shift,” CLEAR chairman and CEO Caryn Seidman-Becker said during an appearance on CNBC. “But this time it’s beyond airports — it’s sports stadiums, it’s retail, it’s office buildings, it’s restaurants.”
CLEAR technology has already been used by the TSA, sports stadiums, and other government bureaucracies. The firm believes that these relationships will make it easier for their Health Pass to become ubiquitous throughout society.
“Health Pass has launched, and we are in conversations with different partners across industries, including with restaurateur Danny Meyer, the New York Mets, RXR and the Las Vegas’ Covid-19 recovery task force,” said Maria Comella, CLEAR’s head of public affairs.
CLEAR’s intention with Health Pass is to link biometric data, such as an eye scan or a fingerprint, to information determining potential risk for the spread of coronavirus. Users would theoretically be forced to submit biometric information into a database to be able to go to work and function in society.
Figures Show Vast Areas Failing BLM’s Own Rangeland Health Standards
Washington, DC — The Bureau of Land Management’s most recent data on the health of federal rangelands reveal extensive damage from excessive commercial livestock grazing, according to figures posted today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). Last month, BLM announced its intent to rewrite its grazing rules without specifying the measures it is considering.
BLM’s Standards for Rangeland Health prescribe the minimum quality of water, vegetation and soils, as well as the ability to support wildlife, required by the agency for permitting livestock grazing. The most recent (2018) rangeland health report on BLM grazing allotments across 150 million acres in 13 Western states shows –
Of total acres assessed, 42% fail to meet BLM Standards for Rangeland Health, totaling nearly 40 million acres, approximately the area of Washington State;
The largest portion (70%) of range health failure is due to livestock overgrazing in allotments covering nearly 28 million acres, an area the size of Pennsylvania; and
These figures are underestimates because nearly 40 percent of these federal rangelands – nearly 59 million acres or an area about the size of Oregon – have never been assessed.
“By its own yardstick, BLM is a poor steward of our federal rangeland,” stated PEER Advocacy Director Kristen Stade…
Having voted all my life in absolutely every conceivable election, feeling it my duty as well as an honor, I can no longer participate in this system. The last presidential election saw the public faced with two of the most unqualified, undignified, and low level candidates ever presented to the American public as presidential options. Trump and Clinton were the best of the best? The best at what? Each of them only slightly worse than the other depending on the topic. Neither of them should ever have been anywhere close to the office, much less contenders for the highest office of the US government.
The coming presidential election, if it even takes place in fact, will see the public faced with Trump and Biden as the only potential candidates. Two fumbling old men: one a misogynistic, amoral, pathological liar who has no interest in, or knowledge of the Constitution for the United States and who sees himself as some sort of royal, and the other? Has never really accomplished anything, is rumored to be unable to keep his hands off young girls and women, and many times appears totally confused about where he is and what is currently taking place.
I refuse. If this is the best we have….count me out. That’s my vote! No vote at all. And please don’t tell me that if I don’t vote I have no right to complain. Of course I do! If you vote for one of these losers, I can start by blaming you for putting them in office to begin with.
And please don’t confuse politics with interest in the well being of our country. Politics and political party’s only matter to the commoners. None of those elected officials give a damn about any of us.
It would appear that the public is finally waking up to the fact that this claimed “virus” is far short of being an epidemic, much less a pandemic. While it is apparent that something has been inflicted on populations round the world, what that actually is remains to be seen. What we do know for a fact is that last years flu vaccine was laced with four different strains of corona virus, yet no one is collecting data on how many of those supposedly testing positive for this “virus” were foolish enough to take that vaccine in the first place. The report on the flu vaccine was published by the DoD. That same report has been thoroughly trashed by online trolls and supposed “authorities” claiming it does not say what it says. Or, does not mean what it says. What did you expect from the DoD? You know what a bunch of conspiracy theorists those folks at the DoD are. (sarc)
As for the flu vaccine: As it is known that the flu virus constantly mutates and does so rapidly, no vaccine could provide protection against the current strain. But please disregard that and take the vaccine anyway….that way if you still get the flu it might not be as bad as it would be if you didn’t vaccinate. What? Does that even make sense to any of you out there? You took that shot and got intentionally infected with various attenuated strains of the flu, along with other infectious agents and you thought this would protect you? FROM WHAT??
Things that just don’t make sense
Why is it that the huge numbers of deaths are happening only in hospitals, nursing homes, jails, prisons, and other institutions where there is a captive population so to speak? Then ask yourself why, covid patients were forcibly put into nursing homes? Flu vaccination is required for residents. The death toll as a result was staggering. In my estimation, whatever this “virus” is, the potential victim had to be primed with the flu vaccine in order for it to activate. Just my thoughts.
Why would all small locally owned businesses have to be shut down while big box stores like WallMart could remain open?
Herd immunity can be achieved only by exposing the population as a whole to whatever is currently circulating. Why then would anyone support social distancing? The fact is that social distancing is a psychological operation meant to isolate each of us from one another. Isolation is a known method of torture and causes a withering of human beings both physically and psychologically. This is supported by the massive increase in suicides currently experienced across the country.

On Friday, Just Futures Law, in concert with Mijente, MediaJustice, and Immigrant Defense Project and organizers around the country, filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and public record requests in order to demand more information on tech companies’ multi-million secret deal with the Trump Administration to build HHS Protect Now, a new vast secretive data platform that has health records, hospital stays, and patient contacts.
Under COVID-19, governments and private companies are collecting vast amounts of personal information through new health surveillance tools like contact tracing apps, mobile location data, and temperature sensors. The Trump Administration has quietly granted companies like Palantir unprecedented access to personal data without limits, consent or accountability. We know little about how this information is being used, and most importantly, whether it is limited to fight COVID and protect our public health. This unlimited and unaccountable dragnet could be disastrous for communities of color. In Minnesota for example, the government is already repurposing contact tracing technology to track Black Lives Matter protesters.
Opinion: There’s no such thing as a ‘safe’ uranium mine. Yet a new report recommends excluding these mines from public review and comment.

by Raúl Grijalva, opinion contributor
President Trump is using the worst pandemic in a century to weaken our environmental laws without public oversight, and he isn’t sparing the Grand Canyon.
While Americans shelter at home, waiting for the administration to offer a more effective medical response than injecting bleach, an administration advisory group just released a report recommending opening more public lands to uranium extraction.
The steps recommended in a new report by the Nuclear Fuel Working Group, an industry-stacked panel the president created through an executive order in July 2019, look a lot like pre-determined conclusions.
One of the most alarming should worry every Arizonan, and frankly every American: excluding uranium mines from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which gives Americans the chance to review and comment on major proposals that impact them.
The report, if it’s implemented, paves the way for dangerous mining of the sort that even industry cheerleaders don’t suggest in public.
Report would give polluters a free pass
This is not alarmism. The report spells it out in black and white when it recommends that federal regulators “consider categorical exclusions for uranium mineral exploration and development activities.” A categorical exclusion is offered only to individual projects determined to have no impact on the environment.
These are sometimes handed out to industry in the guise of streamlining or efficiency — which, under recent Republican administrations, have become code words for giving polluters a free pass.
The Trump administration wants to take advantage of widespread stay-at-home policies to weaken laws that protect us from unchecked pollution. A democratic government puts the people first, and cutting environmental regulations while the people aren’t able to go to a public meeting or make sure their voices are heard is not democratic.
These recommendations are another in a long line of industry giveaways being pushed under cover of pandemic without public scrutiny.
The American people should reject this report and the rigged process used to prepare it. And as a credible newanalysis from the Grand Canyon Trust shows us, even if we wanted to take the report seriously, there’s no such thing as a truly “safe” uranium mine.
The Canyon Mine, a few miles from the southern entrance to Grand Canyon National Park, was approved in 1986. It’s never produced any uranium, but it’s been far from silent. Over the past few years, the mine shaft has been flooded with tens of millions of gallons of potentially radioactive water that have had to be pumped out and, in some cases, sprayed as mist into the air.
Join Marti Oakley, Coz Whitten-Skaife and Austin Gibson as we explore the magical, mystical world of corrupt judges who facilitate the theft of estates of the elderly, and who appear to have magical powers that allow them to “re-interpret” the final wishes of the deceased as laid out in their wills, trusts and other instruments. Montgomery Cty Pennsylvania courtrooms appear to operate on an overload of judges who have magical powers not available to us mere mortals.
What goes on in Montgomery Cty. Pennsylvania courtrooms? The corruption from the bench is blatant. Supposedly having far more knowledge about intended heirs and recipients of benefits from wills and trusts, one judge in particular has decided that his clairvoyant capabilities have helped him determine what the deceased really wanted as opposed to what the will says.
Having diverted art collections to city owned galleries instead of going to the college designated appears to be the result of an clairvoyant epiphany. In another instance, a judge decided that instead of intended family heirs receiving their inheritance, the funds should go to certain charities. Charities that the judge was involved in? I guess anything is possible when you are channeling the dead for profit.
And could someone explain why so many people targeted for guardianship/estate theft and then isolated in a nursing home have their heads shaved?
Methylmercury is an organic and highly toxic form of mercury. When people suffer from mercury poisoning, it is usually from ingesting large amounts of methylmercury. One source of methylmercury is seafood.
Many fish are exposed to methylmercury through their diet. Algae and other forms of aquatic life at the bottom of the food chain absorb organic methylmercury. Fish and other aquatic organisms that consume algae absorb this poison and then, when larger fish at the top of the food chain eat those fish, they continue to accumulate methylmercury.
Organizations funded by the Koch Network are lobbying the Trump administration to keep “temporary” work visas that will allow corporations to hire foreigners for low wages during a time when millions of Americans need jobs.
Organizations funded by the Koch Network are lobbying the Trump administration to keep “temporary” work visas that will allow corporations to hire foreigners for low wages during a time when millions of Americans need jobs.
Representatives from Koch-backed fronts Americans for Prosperity (AFP) and the Libre Initiative wrote a letter to senior White House advisor Jared Kushner and National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow requesting “that this administration refrain from imposing additional barriers on non-immigrant visas.”
AFP Chief Government Affairs Officer Brent Gardner and Libre Initiative President Daniel Garza signed the letter, which claims that economic recovery depends on third-world immigrants taking jobs from U.S. workers.
“Research has shown that most of America’s economic gains after the 2008 financial collapse would have been largely eliminated if not for the shared contributions of U.S. citizens and immigrants seeking new opportunities,” wrote Gardner and Garza.
“Additional research has also concluded that from 2006 to 2016, immigrants were responsible for nearly half of the U.S. labor force growth, a key component of economic growth,” they claimed.
Not being discussed as much – how the Electromagnetic Frequencies (EMF) being emitted by satellites affect our health. EMF exposure and health issues actually have a long history – even being used by the military for “mind control.” At least that’s whatwas reported by CNN in 1985.
So satellites and similar vehicles providing worldwide internet coverage may not be so sexy after all. People are already reporting symptoms from recently launched satellites.As more are introduced, human and environmental health issues are likely to increase and could be much more devastating.
Thanks to Arthur Firstenberg for documenting all of this in his June newsletter:
ON MAY 26, SPACEX FILED an application with the Federal Communications Commission for 30,000 “next-generation” (“Gen2”) satellites.They will orbit at between 328 km (203 miles) and 614 km (380 miles) in altitude. They will use frequencies from 10.7 GHz to 86 GHz. They will aim focused beams that will cover the Earth in a mosaic of overlapping cells, each cell being about 8 kilometers in diameter.
The databases filed with the FCC by SpaceX indicate that 40,700 1-MHz channels are available to each satellite, and that a minimum of 7.8125 MHz of spectrum is needed for each user, if I am interpreting them correctly. Which means the Gen2 Starlink satellites could be capable of serving up to 150 million Internet users at the same time. This is not a good thing. In my last newsletter I requested to hear from people who have been having heart palpitations since April 22. With its launch of 60 more satellites on April 22, SpaceX brought the number of its “first generation”(“Gen1”) satellites up to 420, which is the number it had previously announced it needed for “minor”coverage of the mid-latitudes to about 56 degrees north and south. The responses to my request have come from far and wide, and I find them extremely disturbing.

Its no secret that our legal/judicial system has become massively corrupted. With every possible avenue of redress now blocked or eliminated, U.S. citizens now look to the International Criminal Court for solutions.
The Failure of America’s Legal System: Judicial and Legal System Reform Act
1) America’s legalized attorney malpractice and judicial impunity
2. Family Court case of Christine Morrison (1995-2009)
a) The State of Michigan enters a non-consented to settlement agreement and the totality of the consequences of no remedy at law
3. Me Too and joining forces, requesting investigation by the ICCPR committee for America’s failure to provide effective avenues of redress and relief for the role of U.S. judges and the legal system in persistent legal system abuse.
On January 22, 2020, a federal judge struck down the nation’s oldest “ag-gag” law, the latest in a series of victories against these laws and in favor of the First Amendment right to seek the truth about how animal agribusinesses treat the animals in their care. Kansas’s Farm Animal and Field Crop and Research Facilities Protection Act, passed in 1990, criminalized a wide range of conduct related to animal facilities, most importantly, entering an animal facility not open to the public with the intent to take photographs or recordings.
Across the U.S., many states seeking to conceal the inherent cruelty of animal agriculture from the general public have passed laws like the Kansas statute targeting whistleblowers and undercover investigators. These laws, commonly known as “ag-gag” laws, prevent us from gaining access to and exposing the widespread cruel (yet standard) treatment of farm animals. Without these critical undercover investigations, the public would effectively be kept from learning about the cruelty involved in daily factory farming practices.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is supposed to protect Americans by regulating the telecom industry. Unfortunately, it never seems to work out that way on 5G or anything else. Opposition to 5G has been issued by many respected American government agencies including the U.S. Navy, NOAA, NASA, the Department of Defense, and more. Congress members have also asked that installation be slowed down during the pandemic. The FCC says no.
Despite major pushback from the Pentagon, Department of Transportation (DoT), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Energy Department, Ajit Pai continues to charge forward with plans to speed the rollout of 5G.
“NOAA…said the FCC’s push to reallocate some spectrum would set back satellite-assisted weather forecasting decades. The Transportation Department warned about road safety when a patch of airwaves set aside for driverless cars was reassigned. The Energy Department opposed taking spectrum used by the power companies. Perhaps most memorably, the Defense Department raised alarms about the FCC’s April 20 approval of a mobile broadband network, saying the service will interfere with military and civilian GPS.”
In his quest to expand U.S. mobile broadband capacity, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai hasn’t been afraid to anger colleagues in government.
He’s taken on the Pentagon, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as well as the departments of Transportation and Energy. Those agencies have warned that his plans to reallocate spectrum could endanger national security, harm weather forecasts, loosen control of the electrical grid and degrade vehicle safety.
5G opposition is worldwide. Cities AND countries have taken action to ban, delay, and halt deployment due to health and safety risks and warnings (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8. 9, 10).
5G opposition is worldwide. Cities AND countries continue taking action against deployment. This includes delaying and halting installation as well as issuing moratoriums (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8. 9, 10). Investigate Europe has been covering this extensively.
Investigate Europe has published yet another report on 5G and health.
“Unsubstantiated claims that connect the new mobile technology to the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic have led people to destroy 5G masts in several countries. Such actions overshadow concerns about health effects of the technology that are real and legitimate.”
This latest report is the third segment from the investigative journalists of Investigate Europe that details how industry loyal groups have dominated the standard setting landscape despite hundreds of independent scientists calling for a halt to 5G.
“There is no evidence that there is a relationship between 5G and the spread of Coronavirus. It is inappropriate to raise these rumors,” says Fiorella Belpoggi, Research Director at the Ramazzini Institute in Italy.”
The Oceania Radiofrequency Scientific Advisory Organization, an Australian entity, examined 2,266 studies and found “significant biological effects or health effects” in 68% of them. Another, the Bioinitiative Group, referred to up to 1,800 studies when it concluded that many of these effects are likely to cause health damage if people are exposed to radiation for a long time. This is because radiation interferes with the body’s normal processes, preventing them from repairing damaged DNA and creating an imbalance in the immune system, these scientists say.”
Who is Bill Gates? A software developer? A businessman? A philanthropist? A global health expert?
This question, once merely academic, is becoming a very real question for those who are beginning to realize that Gates’ unimaginable wealth has been used to gain control over every corner of the fields of public health, medical research and vaccine development. And now that we are presented with the very problem that Gates has been talking about for years, we will soon find that this software developer with no medical training is going to leverage that wealth into control over the fates of billions of people.
This past Sunday, the Colorado state Legislature’s House Health and Insurance committee held hearings on legislation which would make obtaining vaccine exemptions for children much more difficult and put in place an immunization tracking system for Colorado’s schoolchildren.
With only a 48-hour notice of the hearings—conspicuously held on a Sunday in an attempt to be inconspicuous—Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. traveled to Denver to lead a rally of approximately 3,000 health freedom advocates who oppose such Orwellian legislation.
Despite solid testimony from credible and well-educated citizens including physicians, the former chair of the Colorado Legislature’s health committee, and Mr. Kennedy, the vote went straight down party lines with seven Democrats in favor and four Republicans in opposition. The bill is now being debated on the floor of the Colorado House of Representatives.

“the B.L.M. has scheduled nearly twenty oil-and-gas-lease sales on federal land nationwide through the end of 2020, and the Administration has shrunk the size of wildernesses and national monuments, paving the way for more drilling…It is a classic land rush.”
Even if you’ve never been to the vast red-rock desert country around Moab, Utah, you’ve been there—its mesas and buttes, its towering arches, have been the backdrop for a thousand movies (and even more S.U.V. commercials). It’s what we think about when we think about “the West,” a truly mythic place. Some of it has been protected in national monuments and parks: Arches and Canyonlands. But the fate of a large swath of it, though nominally belonging to the American people, may soon fall to a guy named Craig Larson.
Here’s the story so far. Under a long-standing law known as the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, anyone can “nominate” a parcel of federal land for oil-and-gas development—it doesn’t cost a thing. The rules are so lax that you don’t even have to supply your name if you want to nominate a piece of land, but Prairie Hills Oil & Gas did provide at least that much context when it asked the federal Bureau of Land Management to set aside land between Arches and Canyonlands. Prairie Hills Oil & Gas, of North Dakota, it turns out, is headquartered at a home that Larson, an attorney, co-owns in Big Lake, Minnesota, about forty miles northwest of Minneapolis. After the land is nominated, and certain review processes are completed, the B.L.M. moves to set up a lease auction, which, in the case of Larson and Utah, is scheduled for September. (Although Larson has nominated the parcels, anyone, in fact, could be the ultimate winning bidder.)

You might think that a planned worldwide micro-chipping of people is some far fetched concept, but this is a REAL plan. There’s a website for ID2020.org, and their alliance of partners includes Microsoft, Gavi (a vaccine alliance), The Rockefeller Foundation, Accenture and IDEO.org (that claims to “design products, services, and experiences to improve the lives of people in poor and vulnerable communities”).
ID2020.org’s manifesto claims “In 2018, ID2020 Alliance Partners, working in partnership with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), drafted a formal articulation of our perspective on ethical approaches to digital identity. The landmark ID2020 Alliance Manifesto below lays out these shared principles and forms a starting point to guide the future of digital identity globally.”
This means they’ll start out by targeting the most vulnerable and desperate people and then work their way up to the rest of the global population.
In 2016, at the inaugural ID2020 Summit at the United Nations Headquarters in NY, there were discussions about how to provide a digital identity to everyone on the planet. This meeting included 154 private companies and 11 UN organizations/agencies. The companies included Microsoft, Accenture, Gavi, Google, IBM, Ifosys, Cisco Systems, Barclays, Ernst & Young, JP Morgan, Lexis Nexis and Kaiser Permanente.
Did you notice how the phrase “digital identity” is being used to sidestep any mention of tattooing or micro-chipping?
The Gates Foundation has been funding research at MIT and Rice University for human implantable quantum dot tattoos to hold vaccination records.
Since the Nazis forced tattoos on concentration camp prisoners, the research that The Gates Foundation is funding likely won’t sit well with most people.
According to BioHackInfo.Com: “The quantum-dot tattoos involve applying dissolvable sugar-based microneedles that contain a vaccine and fluorescent copper-based ‘quantum dots’ embedded inside biocompatible, micron-scale capsules. After the microneedles dissolve under the skin, they leave the encapsulated quantum dots whose patterns can be read to identify the vaccine that was administered.”
And who knows what personal information will be added or required using this method in the future.
According to MIT, the researchers use “a new dye, which consists of nanocrystals called quantum dots, that can remain under the skin for at least five years, where it emits near-infrared light that can be detected by a specially equipped smartphone.”
How long do you think it will be before someone figures out how to hack or tamper with these quantum-dot tattoos? So much for the security of a digital identity.
If governments are so worried about people around the world who “lack a means to prove identity” (a reason given by ID2020.org for the need for a digital ID), why don’t they just issue a card or a bracelet to these people, instead of injecting capsules with quantum dots into everyone?
In finding the most recent roots of anarchy and terrorism, one must look no farther than the person who was elevated to the Demi-god of the the American university community. With that said, Karl Marx is the most assigned economist in U.S. college curriculum.
The Communist Manifesto (1848) written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels represents a revolutionary philosophy that sought to encourage civil unrest and working-class revolutions throughout the the world. “The Communist Manifesto” still ranks as the most frequently assigned text in American universities and Karl Marx is also the most assigned economist in U.S. college classes to this day.
Additionally, this philosophical culture is linked to far left “intellectualism” and exists among those who are graduates from college who continue in their careers and then become teachers or politicians that will shun nationalism and individualism but then will embrace collective thought and progressivism which is now but a cover for Marxism and a centralized tyrannical government which George Orwell warned us about in his famous novel, 1984. However, college students in general still take the collectivism bait and that is one reason why Americans are still today seeing an ever increasing unrest which is being promoted by various groups who do not understand that the entire end game will be total population control with the likes of Red China while religiously tracking every person in America, using either a Real ID card or a mandated biometric vaccine data identifier or a Radio Frequency Chip imbedded into ones hand.

“It’s “leftist” insomuch as it’s against, well, fascism, authoritarianism, and white supremacists. There are some local groups, but there’s no national leadership structure…The most important thing to understand about antifa is that there are very, very few of them: According to the Washington Post, when the group tried to gather nationally, they topped out at a few hundred.”
Rumors of roving bands of Antifa have followed small protests all over the United States. Why are people so ready to believe them?
The rumor that shadowy leftists planned to start trouble in Great Falls, Montana, first appeared on the Facebook group of the Montana Liberty Coalition late last Wednesday afternoon.
“Heads up,” a man named Wayne Ebersole, who owns a local cover crop business, wrote. “Rumor has it that Antifa has scheduled a protest in Great Falls Friday evening at 5 p.m. in front of the Civic Center.” He asked the group if anyone had any more information, or if anyone was available to “protect businesses.”
“It has been confirmed through the police department,” one commenter replied. “They have a permit for tomorrow night and are in town now.”
They weren’t. Police later said they had been “working to quell the rumor.” But that didn’t stop it from sweeping across various right-wing groups. Within 24 hours, a screenshot of Ebersole’s post had been posted to the Facebook Group for the Montana Militia, whose members have recently dedicated themselves to tracking the perceived threat of antifa all over the state, including coordinating armed responses to “protect” their towns. (Ebersole did not respond to a request for comment.)
And by Friday at 5 p.m., as about 500 protesters gathered to protest systemic racism and police brutality, a handful of armed men had massed at the edge of the demonstration.“We heard that a little group called Antifa wanted to show up and not in our town,” one man, who declined to be named, told the Great Falls Tribune. “All it takes is a word and a whisper.”
As protests against police brutality and in support of Black Lives Matter continue to proliferate across the small towns and rural communities, so, too, have rumors READ THE REST OF THIS STORY HERE.
More and more concerned citizens are asking tough questions about the safety of 5G wireless networks. Are big tech companies trying to quash their dissent? Action Alert!
Over the last few months, we’ve been reporting on the planned deployment of 5G wireless networks and some of the health and safety issues that are being swept under the rug by telecom companies and their enthusiasts in the government. Some communities, like Sacramento, California, have already seen the installation of “small cell” towers near homes. When activists in Sacramento started speaking out, it appears as though YouTube and other sites have silenced their criticisms of 5G.
Noah Davidson, an activist in Sacramento, noticed his young nieces started experiencing health problems after Verizon installed a small cell just 45 feet from their home. Other members of the community also started experiencing adverse effects after small cells were installed. Davidson has worked to start a grassroots movement to raise awareness about 5G in the community and to work with telecom companies to establish an opt-out program for those who do not want 5G in their neighborhood.
In so doing, it appears as though Davidson has incurred the wrath of the Internet censors. His account was apparently suspended, without explanation, by YouTube. One of the two videos on his YouTube account was footage of Sacramento activists speaking at a city council meeting. This seems deeply suspicious. YouTube is owned by Google, a company that we know is aggressively censoring content on dubious grounds. It doesn’t seem outlandish to conclude that Google and YouTube are quashing dissent about a technology they want to see implemented across the United States.
Activists are not the only ones advising us to pump the breaks on 5G. A group of hundreds of scientists from around the world recently sent a letter to the United Nations and the World Health Organization warning of “serious concerns regarding the ubiquitous and increasing exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) generated by electric and wireless devices.” The scientists explain that EMF “affects living organisms at levels well below most international guidelines,” causing increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in free radicals, genetic damage, changes to the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, and neurological disorders.
We must keep speaking out about this crucial public health issue in defiance of the censors and the crony capitalists railroading us into accepting this technology with no questions asked.
Our previous articles have covered some of the other dangers associated with 5G networks. For example, 5G utilizes millimeter waves—a shorter wavelength than the current 4G networks in use. Millimeter wavelengths have been used in crowd control devices that shoot high-powered millimeter waves that make the target feel like their skin is burning. Other research has shown that our sweat ducts can act like antennas for the shorter millimeter waves, meaning we absorb more of this energy into our bodies.
“While tear gas and pepper spray are banned from use in war by an international treaty, domestic use is legal and nearly ubiquitous in the United States.”

Despite widespread use, chemical agents sold for police purposes aren’t monitored by any federal agency.
This article was originally published by In These Times on April 3, 2000. Although this investigation was written 20 years ago, police and other law enforcement continue to use and misuse pepper and tear gasses on peaceful protesters in violation of manufacturers’ regulations and international treaties. Support for this article was provided by the Fund for Constitutional Government.
The tons of tear gas and pepper spray munitions Seattle police used on demonstrators and bystanders alike at the anti-WTO demonstrations last December contained chemicals implicated in lung problems, eye damage and even death. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the effects of these chemical weapons are not always confined to 15 or so minutes of intense pain and incapacitation. According to manufacturers’ documents, military research and medical literature, each of these agents carries short- and long-term health risks; various formulations contain potential carcinogens.
Tear gas and pepper spray cause health problems even when used within guidelines on healthy people. But in Seattle, as elsewhere, law enforcement violated manufacturers’ warnings and inevitably sprayed vulnerable populations such as people with diabetes, asthma, allergies or heart problems, as well as pregnant women, children and the elderly. “It was like a war zone,” says Russell Sparks, a student from Bellingham, Washington, who helped block a Seattle intersection on December 1. “The police rolled up in humvees, and I heard the clink, clink of cops jogging toward us. Within seconds the area was filled with gas and the air was pure white all around. I coughed and coughed. I felt like I was on fire, my friend and I both became hysterical. He fell down. A middle-aged man near me passed out, eyes open, shaking, dry heaving, twitching in the shoulders. A woman passed out face down. I tried to help but my eyes were burning and I was screaming for medical help.”
Three days later, Sparks still felt “serious flu symptoms, phlegmy, tired, fatigued, problems with eyes focusing, burning, slightly nauseous. I felt like it went into every pore.” He wasn’t alone. The persistence and severity of symptoms widely reported by demonstrators and hapless bystanders gave rise to speculation that some “mystery gas” had been used. Rumors of nerve gas spread like a toxic cloud across the Internet.
The truth is that tear gas and pepper spray alone can cause temporary blindness, respiratory problems, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue and disorientation. Symptoms may linger for days in otherwise healthy individuals. Out of 187 North Carolina corrections officers exposed to pepper spray under controlled conditions for training purposes, according to Duke University Medical Center study, eight had symptoms persisting for more than a week, including eye problems, chest problems, headaches and disorientation.
More seriously, reports by the Army and in prestigious medical journals have warned of respiratory arrest, pulmonary edema, and acute elevations in blood pressure associated with risk of stroke and heart attack. Military and industrial sources also point to the possibility of cancer, birth defects and DNA damage from these chemical weapons.

“corporations are buying the blood of America’s poor, drawing and selling the plasma abroad in a global enterprise”
Hospitals are desperate for blood donors: more than 4,000 blood drives were canceled in the US because of the coronavirus, according to the American Association of Blood Banks.
This situation, which resulted in a loss of 130,000 donations, is unprecedented, according to Dr. Claudia Cohn, AABB’s chief medical officer and director of the blood bank at the University of Minnesota Medical Center.
Meanwhile, corporations are buying the blood of America’s poor, drawing and selling the plasma abroad in a global enterprise.
A 2019 article in MintPress News identified paid blood donations as a sign of the latest stage of capitalism, with corporate blood collection agencies targeting the poor, homeless, students and even animals as a lucrative blood source ripe for harvesting. With sales of $1.4 billion in 2018, exports from the US accounted for 16.3 percent of the blood on the international market.
