This is an intellectual experience as well and an informative one. It is a bit long, but worth every minute. It will make you take a serious look at the current state of the United States and its uncertain future. It’s a little unsettling to put it mildly. After watching this video, I don’t really have much to add, except these are very serious and dangerous times. Never forget how we got here, the Democrats and lazy, greedy Republicans.

There are really smart people of all colors, male and female, that could qualify as excellent commercial aircraft pilots. That’s not the point. However, what is happening, is that these people are dumbing down the standards for pilots in the name of DEI. This is going to compromise the public safety both in the air and on the ground. If their goal is to employ more people of color, create an incentive for them to apply, and look for qualified individuals utilizing the current standards.

If I were a person of color, I would absolutely be pissed, that the government thinks the only way a person of color can achieve such a position is by dumbing down the requirements. I don’t know about you, but this sounds like systemic racism to me.

I stopped flying on commercial aircraft years ago because of other issues, but this only solidifies my feelings. There are some really scary stories that are starting to surface about the new pilots of diversity. I’m relying on surface travel for the short balance of my life. Even that’s dangerous enough.

I think you would have to be comatose or on the level of Joe Biden to not have noticed how the government is interfering in virtually every aspect of our lives. This is relatively new, this seems to have started to escalate in the very early 2000’s. How crazy is it getting that the IRS is now looking at any of your banking activities that exceed $600.00 in one transaction. How the hell did they come up with that number? That could easily be your grocery bill with today’s inflation.

One of my pet peeves is that when someone gets in my car, and without my permissions starts messing around with the climate controls by just pushing buttons, having no idea what they are doing. I’m not shy, I ask them what they need, and I take over, as I don’t want the automatic settings disturbed.

We have the Constitution and Bill of Rights, that is our automatic settings, and it’s our damn country. Those two documents verify that, it’s our title of ownership. If these elected morons want to change the settings, they have to ask us first.

In Washington D.C. , Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia, there are 282,666 federal employees. Annuitants plus employees 589,426. In D.C. alone, 192,127. Every single one of these idiots are constantly pushing buttons and turning knobs to screw with you and make your lives just a little more troublesome. To put this in perspective, we have a totally unmitigated invasion at our northern and southern borders and Joe Biden announces he wants to ban flavored tobacco products. That shit is so far down the scale of important topics you can’t even find it.

That pretty much covers my bitching and complaining for today, but this is just a small portion of the stuff in my stack of things that drive me nuts. I’ll be back very soon. By the way, I have always alluded to the fact that I am a Tucker Carlson follower. I think he stepped into the void left by Rush and filled it very nicely. I finally got around to paying my membership to join his new venture, Tucker Carlson network. The first show I saw was worth every dollar. He interviewed a guy by the name of Mike Benz, and I was blown away by what this guy had to say. I would highly recommend that you subscribe just to listen to Mr. Benz. It will make it possible for you to understand what you have been witnessing but couldn’t quite get a handle on what was going on. He brings the picture into focus.

God bless you all, stay safe, stay alert, stay free.

THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN FOR REAL

A little different plot, but just as scary. There are some alarming statistics beginning to show up related to the Covid 19 Vaccines. Scientists are just now starting to tie some of these things together. I am going to embed three videos for your review.

Before we get to the videos, it is becoming more widely accepted that these vaccines are causing auto-immune problems. Megan Kelly describes how she developed and auto-immune problem on her podcast because of the vaccine. I took the Pfizer vaccine and I have developed an auto-immune problem as well. I have never had auto-immune related problems in my lifetime. I went to my doctor about strange eruptions on my feet and legs. Small little red bumps that are painful and itchy. The doctor gave me a prescription ointment, and they are gone in a couple of days, but they show up in another location. I wouldn’t call it super serious, but it’s a bothersome condition. It was diagnosed as an auto-immune problem.

We have friends that took the initial shots, and every time someone said boo, they took a booster. He is now fighting cancer spreading rapidly, she is battling serious heart issues. I can’t say if their medical problems are related to the vaccines, but the timing is certainly suspicious.

Take a look at the videos below and you can decide for yourselves if you think the vaccines are to blame for the strange things happening to people worldwide. These videos were produced about a year ago, but I doubt many have seen them. They are highly relevant today.

Thank you for taking the time to educate yourselves on this important topic. I will continue to search for more information so that I can bring it to you.

POLITICALLY INCORRECT CENTER-RIGHT PERSPECTIVE OF CURRENT NEWS EVENTS

If you watched the exhausting interview Tucker Carlson did with Vladimer Putin, it was damning to the deep state, and how the CIA shapes world events despite the desires of the sitting president. It was a very clear picture of how the American presidents have been under the control of the CIA for decades. This is precisely why they are so afraid of Donald Trump. This is what Dwight Eisenhower, the 34th president of the US was warning us about in the farewell speech in 1957. He could see how the military industrial complex was gaining power and strength and he was extremely concerned after having served as a very effective General in WW2 and witnessed the horrors of that gruesome war.

If you didn’t see Tuckers interview, be sure to watch it as soon as possible. You will gain a very different perspective of Putin. His knowledge of Russian and world history is incredible. When you compare Putin with Joe Biden you will be terrified.

I think Tucker did a great job. Sitting in front of an iconic figure like Vladimer Putin must be more than a little intimidating. I have a Russian friend and business associate and we discussed this interview today. His take on it was from a Russian perspective. He said Putin is a master manipulator when he speaks, choosing his words carefully to shape the narrative and outcome. He also asked me if I noticed how Putin was sitting in his chair. I told him I did. He said Putin sitting relaxed and low in his chair was intentional to make him look smaller than Tucker, so he would be perceived as vulnerable and more innocent looking. Making him look less aggressive and more believable. He told me Putin is treacherous and dangerous despite how he speaks and looks.

The bottom line as I saw it, was that it made me take a serious look at this government and its actions around the world in the past. As much as I love my country, I think our government has done some really bad stuff around the world, by a bureau that has no oversight and no restraints.

I believe the attitude of the CIA and the FBI is that they are the permanent government, elected officials come and go, but they are in it for the long haul and they know better than the new guys that show up every four years. As you can imagine, they sit down with a new president and paint this picture that they know everything that is going on, they know how to fix it. Clearly, most presidents are clueless about this when they first take office. If a president doesn’t play along, they run the risk of dying in a motorcade in Dallas.

SECOND MAJOR NEWS EVENT

In my opinion, this news event was timed to overshadow Tucker’s interview with Putin, which put the CIA in a bad light. They released the results of the investigation into Biden’s possession of a whole lot of classified documents, stored in a very sloppy manner. Much of it which was taken when he was a Senator which is a huge no-no.

I’m sure you have heard the report and even read at least part of it, so I won’t spend much time on it. The main take-away as I see it, is that the report makes it very clear they have no intention of initiating any form of punishment for his misdeeds.

Every single past president that is alive today, did the same exact thing, and only one is being prosecuted for it. All of the so-called legal experts that are impaneled by the legacy media will expound on all sorts of reasons why what Trump did was somehow different and was somehow more egregious. Its more lies on top of lies. Anyone with the I.Q. of a fruit fly knows it is pure political persecution. And these pompous “holier than though “Democrats have the audacity to criticize Vladimer Putin and the Russians for how they go after dissenters, when they are guilty of exactly what they decry. Always remember Tucker Carlsons words; “When a Democrat accuses you of something, rest assured they are doing it themselves.” (paraphrased)

The lefties were terrified of what Tucker’s interview with Putin would reveal, they wanted to overshadow that interview with this bombshell news of Biden’s misdeeds. I would say it worked fairly well. One of my friends called me and said; “are you watching this?” I automatically assumed he was talking about Tucker’s show, but he was talking about the news release on Biden. I really couldn’t have cared less about Biden; I could have told you how that was going to turn out. It was evident from the start, how casually it was handled. There weren’t any FBI agents with automatic weapons, there were no major news outlets covering it. Biden was not handcuffed and detained. His lawyers were present and were permitted to examine the documents. Seriously, was there ever any doubt how this would end?

All of that said, there could be another underlying story here. Ask yourselves; is this a setup by the Democrats to make sure Biden doesn’t run again? If you have been monitoring the chatter, a lot of high-ranking Dems have said it’s time for Joe to go. This would be the perfect scenario to bring Jose Biden’s career to an end get rid of Kamala and save face for the party.

It doesn’t really matter from what angle you view any of this from, it’s all screwed up. Politicians and bureaucrats have taken a once great nation that stood for justice, freedom and independence, and totally ruined it. The United States was once viewed as the bastion of fair and honest elections all over the world. Our elections are now no better than the run-of-the-mill banana republic. They are a joke. How many times have you seen some guy committing an act of violence, and another guy standing by watching? You were witnessing the perfect example of Democrats and Republicans. I’m sure I don’t need to explain which one is which. One is guilty of committing a violent crime, the other is guilty of not attempting to stop it.

I am heading down to my man cave now and watch Russell Brand’s critique of Tucker’s interview. Have a great weekend and never forget you are an American and Americans are free.

FINALLY

Ronna McDaniel will be stepping down as the RNC Chair after more losses than the Arizona Cardinals. I guess she stayed there because the Republicans have gotten so used to losing that nobody noticed. Well finally, someone started noticing and the pressure to remove her became a reality. Harmeet Dhillon challenged her in the last election and lost unfortunately. Trump has recommended North Carolina GOP chair Michael Whatley. Apparently, Mr. Whatley is a very strong opponent of voter fraud. God knows we need a lot of those folks. Especially in light of all of the illegals pouring across our border that the Democrats view as future voters.

PETA; ANOTHER WORD FOR ABSURDITY

PETA has set its sights on Chance Rides, a Kansas based amusement park company that makes Merry-go-round rides. PETA is arguing that animal themed merry-go-round rides lead to animal exploitation. They want Chance to produce figures in the shapes of cars, spaceships, bulldozers, and other vehicles. I would argue that these shapes in place of animals are going to influence youngsters to continue utilizing carbon fueled vehicles. If they are going to use cars instead of animals, they need to be emblazoned with the Tesla logos. So in my opinion PETA is working directly against the greenies. Wait till Greta gets wind of this.

IS TAYLOR SWIFT GOING “DARK”

It seems a young college student named Jack Sweeney (sounds like an alias) has been tracking Taylor’s movements in her Dassault Falcon 900LX private jet. She has been deemed as the worst celebrity private jet CO2 emission offender. So, she has sold her old jet and bought a brand new one, a larger Dassault Falcon 7X, somewhere around 54 million, about 14 million more than she paid for the old one back in 2011. Talking about depreciation, it’s now only worth about 7 million. Now you understand why is costs so much to see one of her events.

Swift’s lawyers sent Sweeney a “cease and desist letter” demanding that he stop tracking her jets travels. I personally think it a bit of a reach to think they can stop this guy. Her lawyers claim its alerting stalkers to her locations and putting her in danger. She’s a public entertainer, flying in FAA controlled air space. The FAA would probably have more say in this matter than Swift’s lawyers. But, as you have noticed, when people have the kind of money that Swift has, they think they control a lot more than they really do. They begin to suffer from “Grandiosity.”

A WHITE FANI WILLIS?

The governor of Massachusetts, Maura Healy, has nominated her former romantic partner to the State’s Supreme Court. It seems she and the Appeals Court Justic Gabrielle R. Wolohojian, whom she nominated lived together as romantic partners for several years. I remember hearing everyone bitching and moaning about the “good ol’ boys club”. Well, it seems like the “good ol’ lesbian club” is giving them a run for their money. I have seen this scenario played out numerous times in recent years. My wife says you can’t get a job as a ranger in a national park unless you’re a lesbian. So, consider that “hear say”.

WHAT DIDJA THINK WOULD HAPPEN

So you’re goin’ through your Granny’s stuff and you find an article you have never seen before, and the date stamp on it says 1870. Wow, your eyes light up and you start counting money you ain’t got. You can’t wait to get downtown to the antique dealer and collect your cash. The guy behind the counter blows up your dreams with five little words “they made millions of these”. Then he goes on to say he has ten of them on the shelf he can’t get rid of. It has little or no value due to the number manufactured.

Does that sound a lot like a college degree you went head over heels in debt for? About 10 million other people your age have the same degree, in the same area of the nation that you live in. Well, that’s what you call reality. All of those folks back home that didn’t have a college degree told you “It was the key to success”. It’s a little too late now, but they were wrong. The key to success lies inside of you, it’s called ingenuity, coupled with integrity. Lot’s of folks out there with lots of money that don’t have college degrees.

If you’re young, unemployed, or working in a low paid dead end job, stop thinking you have to depend on someone else for a paycheck. Figure out what you can do for yourself. Jeff Bezos started Amazon Books in his garage. I started a metal fabrication shop in the basement of an office building, while drawing unemployment checks. My company was making over a half million dollars per year in its first year. I sold my old Triumph sports car to buy a couple of welding machines. If you really concentrate on doing something for yourself and quit depending on others, you can do it. I guarantee it.

MOST DISTURBING NEWS OF THE DAY

Although this actually happened last year, the court has just ruled the death of a newborn to be homicide. A 20-year-old woman was giving birth at the Southern Regional Medical Center in Riverdale, GA. on July 10th of last year. The baby became lodged in the birth canal (shoulder dystocia), the attending physician pulled so hard the baby’s head was separated from its body. A cesarean section was done to remove the infant’s body from the mother’s womb. Obviously, the OB-GYN was a former Planned Parenthood employee.

The doctor pulled and manipulated the infant’s head so hard that bones in the baby’s skull, face and neck were broken. The hospital actually tried to cover it up, never telling the family exactly what happened, and discouraged the father from having an autopsy. A report to the authorities was never made. The manner of death was flagged by the funeral home.

How stupid do you have to be, to literally pull a baby’s head off during childbirth? My mind can’t comprehend this level of incompetence. I have never heard of such a thing in my life. Even the most uneducated human understands the fragility of an infant.

God bless all of you, stay vigilant, stay free. Thank you for reading Steel Pencil. If you haven’t subscribed, please do so, I would appreciate it so much.

WHY ARE THE FEDS CONSTANTLY IN OUR FACES ON VIRTUALLY EVERY TOPIC??

In the fifties when I was just beginning to pay attention to what was going on beyond my neighborhood, the federal government was pretty low key. Pretty much the only time you really noticed them was during military actions or at tax time. There was always that ominous event on the horizon for young men just out of high school when they faced being “drafted” into the military. So, aside from taxes and the draft, you really didn’t think of them much.

Then as the years rolled by, the feds started to encroach on our lives more and more. I think the first thing I remember that made a pretty big impact was when they outlawed prayer in public schools. Next, they started mandating safety equipment on automobiles. While making a large impact on auto design, the seat belt laws did save a lot of lives. The so called, “five mile per hour bumpers” were gawd awful ugly. Then the emission controls totally ruined the performance of cars, we had 4,000-pound cars with 150 horsepower. They were horribly underpowered behemoths.

In the late seventies there were rumors that congress was going to outlaw convertibles due to roll over dangers, (it never happened) but the car companies immediately stopped making convertibles. For a couple of years, some cars had devices that would prevent the car from starting unless your seat belt was connected.

On one hand, I’m OK with a lot of the safety equipment on cars, I have known people that were killed or horribly maimed in auto accidents, on the other hand, the overbearing burden of federal government regulations on businesses irritates me to no end. I believe Americans are smart, insightful people that can take care of themselves without “big brother” constantly looking over our shoulders.

UNTRUSTWORTHY BUREAUCRATS

The FAA has been hugely successful in making air travel in the USA the safest in the world. Having a small amount of experience with FAA protocols concerning aircraft safety, I’m impressed with their level of expertise. However, the very large problem with all bureaucrats is that their bosses are “shit for brains” politicians.

For the full year of 2022, US commercial airlines carried 853 million passengers. Every day, 93,000 flights take off from 9,000 airports. The pilots of those planes, and the air traffic controllers, need to be the best of the best, period.

The FAA has been infected with DEI. They take their marching orders from the Department of Transportation. It all goes downhill from there. Until April 1, 1967, the FAA was a stand-alone bureau called The Federal Aviation Agency. In my opinion, it should have remained a stand-alone agency.

The feds are now requiring new hires in the aviation industry to be based primarily on race and gender. I personally don’t give a damn what color my pilot is, or what gender the air traffic controller is, I just want them to be damn good at what they do. I suspect that the requirements have been “dumbed down” so they can meet their quotas. So, I don’t have a warm and fuzzy feeling about this whole thing. I don’t fly much anymore, but when airplanes fall out of the skies, a lot of people on the ground are hurt as well.

Just a side note to illustrate my point. During the epic “supply chain” collapse, the secretary of Transportation, was on a paternity leave, him and his husband adopted two infants and they were “playing house” for several weeks while you were waiting on parts for your production machinery. Yep, those are the folks running the FAA.

THE DOJ EMERGES FROM THE SHADOWS UNDER BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

Bobby Kennedy was quite active as Attorney General serving under his brother Jack, taking on organized crime, and the Mafia. He was not on good terms with FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, so obviously he was in the news a lot. He is recognized as the most influential attorney general in US history.

After Kennedy, I don’t remember any subsequent AG’s being particularly noteworthy, they were sort of behind-the-scenes type people until Bill Clinton came along. That was the dawn of the feds moving in with you.

During the Barrack Hussein Obama years, the feds really started encroaching on local authorities. Shortly after Obama took office a minor incident happened in Cambridge, Mass. A Harvard professor, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. locked himself out of his home. While trying to break into his own home, he was confronted by local police and arrested. A white officer arresting a black man trying to get into his own home ignited a racial bruhaha. A few days later Obama said the Cambridge police acted stupidly. Later Obama had to back pedal, saying he didn’t mean arresting officer James Crowley was stupid. It turned into a very awkward situation because of Obama not staying in his lane. I think it’s safe to say, this was an early indicator that Obama was in over his head. Copy and paste the link below to read how it all went wrong.

https://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1929415_1929418_1929404,00.html

Remember Ferguson, MO? A local police officer was involved in the fatal shooting of one Michael Brown. White officer, black teenage criminal, attacked Officer Darren Wilson while in his Patrol car, Michael Brown was a very large and strong young man, Brown was shot and killed in the struggle. Obama and Eric Holder jumped at the chance to fan the flames of racism, by taking sides with the black community. Truth and justice prevailed, but Darren Wilson’s life was forever changed. Mr. Wilson should have received an apology from the feds.

Another local police matter drew the attention of the feds. On April 19, 2015 Freddie Gray died in the hands of the police. Freddie Gray was black, police officers white. After a thorough investigation the feds declined to seek prosecution. You can bet it had to be a really weak case for the feds under Obama to walk away from chance to stir the pot.

Who can forget Trayvon Martin, and Obama’s statement that if he had a son, he would look a lot like Trayvon. A blatant raciest remark from the bully pulpit. Again, the feds were all over this. When that state of Florida charged Zimmerman with second-degree murder, the feds stayed in the fray as consultants.

Make no mistake, the eight years Obama was president, the DOJ and the AG were working overtime sticking their noses into the business of the local authorities. I’m going to skip over the Trump years, that is a whole other article in itself.

Enter Joe Biden. I’m sure you know that Joe pretty much reinstated all of the wacko lackies from the Obama white house. So, you shouldn’t have been surprised when the DOJ and FBI started targeting parents in school board meetings. You shouldn’t have been surprised when they started creating all sorts of bureaus to keep you shackled during the Covid debacle. You shouldn’t have been surprised when they attempted to create the Misinformation Dept. Most of all you shouldn’t have been surprised when they weaponized the DOJ and FBI to try and take out Donald Trump and prevent him from running again.

But the biggest example of all, that the Democrats are attempting to take control of this country, is how they orchestrated and executed the January 6th riots. That is a play right out of the PSYOP manual. The planning and coordination with the FBI, Capitol Police, and DC police and DNC insiders was nothing short of brilliant. Then topping it off with a fake investigation. Four years later, it’s beginning to unravel. More and more information is beginning to trickle out. A video was just made public concerning the supposed pipe bombs that is a real eye opener. It clearly shows the Capital Police and FBI treating the fake pipe bombs as if they were a bag of chips. But the poor guys and gals in the DC jail can’t seem to catch a break.

I think it’s safe to say, the feds are not going to give up their grip on John Q. Public anytime soon. So, my advice is to be careful in your activities, but stay vigilant and work diligently to reverse this trend.

MY OPENING STATEMENT

I have written about this phenomenon many times over the past few months. There is something in the air that is different, something doesn’t feel right. You can’t really put your finger on it, you can actually see the changes taking place, but you don’t know why or how.

We can see the changes taking place in the social structures. We see the legal systems being shredded, we see criminals being treated with light or no sentences, that were once jailed for years. All of these things combined sort of melt together in a strange fog that is hanging over our cities. We all feel it, we know it’s wrong.

Fortunately for those of us that live normal everyday lives, there are people that make it their jobs, their passion to delve into this strange fog and find out what is causing it. There are a few select people that have abandoned their jobs in the legacy media, or entertainment world, that are risking their wellbeing to get the answers we are all looking for but can’t find in the usual places. Those usual places being regular news outlets.

Tucker Carlson, Russell Brand, Glen Greenwald, and numerous others are facing off against Goliath. These people have paid staff to help them dig deep into the swamp and find the snakes and rats we could never find. Listen to Russell Brand in the video below, teamed up with Tucker Carlson. Russell lays it out for you like nobody else could. After watching this video, you will understand what the fog is.

Do you feel like the fog has lifted now? I certainly do. We are up against a very formidable force. Donald Trump knows how strong this force is. It can be defeated with the truth.

DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY HAVE A PLAN?

My education as a youngster went well beyond public schools. I was fortunate to have family, and family friends, that were from very diverse trades and professional backgrounds. I was always highly interested in their conversations as they spoke among themselves. That is a great way to learn a host of different things. Without a doubt, the most important thing I learned as a child from just paying attention, was that every endeavor, no matter how small should have a plan. You have to think about what it is you are attempting to achieve, and formulate a plan in your mind, or on larger projects, a written plan. Almost every project has issues that you will have to deal with along the way, and you must be prepared for those.

My father was bringing home blueprints from work, and teaching me how to read them, when I was ten years old. Probably a little strange for a ten-year-old to actually be interested in doing that. But I was excited to learn how to do that. It helped me immensely a few years later as a drafting student in vocational drafting. My sister married a navy pilot and aircraft engineer, he taught me some really cool stuff, even took a few flying lessons. (Didn’t care for flying).

By the time I was 16 years old, I probably had a better understanding of how things worked than a lot of adults. That knowledge has only broadened having spent my life in the building industry. So, I feel I am amply qualified to make the following remarks.

BLIND LEADING THE BLIND

The answer to the question I posed above “does anyone have a plan?” is no, they don’t have a plan. This is how I know; car dealerships are in a panic, and demanding that manufacturers stop sending them electric vehicles, because they cant’ sell them. Electric vehicle owners are unable to use them in freezing cold, or extremely hot weather. The chargers don’t work when covered in ice. The cars don’t work when covered in ice. You could easily be stranded and frozen to death in one of these pieces of crap.

Wind farms stop working when covered with ice, which just happens to be a super critical time for power generation. Solar panels don’t work when covered in snow and ice. Coal and Natural gas power generating stations aren’t affected by weather. (someone thought that one through). Not everyone lives in Arizona or southern California.

This is what I think is hilarious. Some old guy who is suffering from dementia, but just happens to be the sitting president, stands up at the podium and declares that there will be no more gas-powered cars sold by 2035. The year that will likely be somewhere around ten years after his death and three administrations later. So, Ford, GM, and Chrysler lead by executives that are supposed to be really smart based on their annual salaries, get right on board, and start making electric vehicles. You would think, a leader of a huge corporation would have said; “hold on a minute, we ain’t ready for that yet”. Oh, hell no, they have all lost billions of dollars and can’t sell the dang things, ’cause Joe the plumber is way smarter, and he ain’t buying their crap ’cause it don’t work. It takes five times longer to take a cross country trip in a new Tesla, than in his 2004 Lexus.

There is a true story that perfectly illustrates what is happening regarding the green energy crowd. When Mao Tse-tung took over the leadership in China in the fifties, he was faced with a country-wide famine. He reasoned that the sparrows were eating the seeds and ruining the crops so he ordered the elimination of the sparrows. It was quite successful, but in the end, it caused a greater famine and millions of Chinese died of starvation because the sparrows were actually eating the insects, thus protecting the crops. without the sparrows, the insects ravaged the fields.

The green energy advocates have become religious zealots. Religious zealots are not critical thinkers and planners, they are reactionaries. They will blindly rush into something to satisfy their beliefs without considering the consequences. They have tunnel vision.

Revision of the power grid is a very big deal. People’s lives depend on electrical power in hundreds of ways. This is serious stuff; it isn’t something you can play around with. Our national security depends on a functioning power grid. Revising the power grid requires a well thought out plan, and that revision will probably take at least 30 plus years. When people start knocking down coal and gas fired power stations, they better damn well know what they are doing. They are playing with the lives and security of millions of people. They could stupidly be killing the sparrows.

Making the infrastructure work is a delicate balancing act. Take too much away on one side and the whole thing collapses. This is the business of intelligent well-grounded people, who are not influenced by the latest political nonsense. These people think generations ahead, and carefully weigh the consequences of their actions.

I just read an article by a UK scientist, and his position is that the whole wind and solar idea, is an impossible dream. He laid it out very well, and it made perfect sense. He says the only viable and dependable clean energy source is nuclear, and ignoring it is disastrous. I will find the article again and publish it in the future.

CLOSING STATEMENT

A few weeks ago, the Pacific Northwest was covered with snow and ice. Mostly ice. Naturally we had power outages with thousands of trees just waiting to take out power lines. we have a gas fireplace in the living room, and a gas water heater. When the power went out, they told us it would be back on in a few hours. We turned on the fireplace, grabbed the emergency battery powered lights, and sat it out. If it was going to be out for a longer period, we are prepared with a gasoline powered generator. The bottom line is that it is imperative for your safety to have well balanced energy sources. When I hook up my gasoline generator, my main gas-powered furnace is up and working along with the lights and refrigerators. An all-electric home would have to have a standby generator powered by a fossil fuel, or a very large battery, likely about the size of your car. Can you see how ridiculous this all-electric thing is yet?

POLITICALLY INCORRECT, CENTER RIGHT PERSPECTIVE ON CURRENT NEWS EVENTS

OPENING STATEMENT

Yesterday’s article highlighted how the governments gas light you, and tell you they are protecting you from harm while they steal your freedoms and turn you into serfs, working on your lord’s estate which will be the federal government. This evening, I checked in on one of my favorite people, Russell Brand, and he just happened to be discussing this very topic, using Canada and Justin Trudeau as an example. I have provided a link below so you can enjoy his show as well. The end where Trudeau and one of his staff speaks is absolutely chilling, how they have no compassion for the Canadian citizens whatsoever. This government is no different. This is so important to recognize who these people are.

What you just watched is why the first and second amendment must be protected at all costs.
