Special Edition Podcast: California’s Marxist Regime Sues Big Oil

Friday, in the name of climate change, the State of California filed a lawsuit against Big Oil, claiming the oil companies knew they were producing a product that would dangerously alter the climate, way back in the 1950’s and 1960’s.

Upon reading the story I left the football game I was watching on TV to take to the camera and expose the fraud, bias, and what I believe are the true intentions of this outrageous lawsuit.

There are several happening in this suit. First, the state of California is running another massive budget deficit after having a surplus for several years. Second, by punishing Big Oil the Marxists running California will cause the gas prices to further rise; this is necessary in order to push people into electric vehicles, as the law states by 2035 new cars and trucks with combustion engines will no longer be sold.

But wait, there’s more!

Latest Video Podcast: Exposing the Climate Agenda

 Latest video podcast is ready for your viewing!

In this episode you will become overwhelmingly convinced, it’s not about the climate, nor the environment.

The climate agenda is a broad scheme designed to replace the American ethos of life, liberty and happiness, with a masterfully devious plan known as sustainable development.

Though it sounds innocent enough, sustainable development will provide the government with heavy handed authority to pick life’s winners and losers via the levers of social justice and social equity. This important episode exposes it all.

Watch it here.

Why my books on climate are actually about Marxism

I’m writing a new book. It’s an updated version of Climategate and Eco-Tyranny.

I’m about to explain why, in large measure, my books about climate are actually about the agenda’s real goals: socialism, communism, and authoritarianism. It’s deeply personal.

At the urging of his parents , my grandfather escaped Lenin’s Soviet Russia as a teenager. His family stayed behind and eventually perished in the hands of tyranny.

Shortly after the Soviet Union finally collapsed in 1991, I had the life-changing experience of meeting with three, 30-something pastors from Russian; they were in the U.S. for a church conference. Between them they had spent had spent over the three decades in horrid prisons because of their Christian faith. Their testimonies stir my emotions to this day.

I have met many from Cuba whose assets were stolen by the communists during the takeover in the 1950s. These wonderful people fled for America and now cherish life, liberty, and personal property.

A relative was able to slip in to North Korea to accomplish Christian evangelism; she witnessed a parallel universe while in that communist hole.  Two weeks ago I was introduced to a woman who spent five years in a Chinese concentration camp for her anti-communist opinions. She escaped, living underground in her own country until she finally made it out to freedom.

The gentleman who is helping proof read my manuscript is a former combat Navy Seal who personally faced the military apparatus of communist regimes. He understands their underhanded determination to see America fail.

I met “Sammy” in Eastern Europe. He is Persian, originally from Iran, a nation led by authoritarians who loath American ideals and are cozy with China, North Korea and Russia. After converting to Christianity, he was put on an Iranian government hit list and escaped on foot to Bulgaria with nothing more than the clothes on his back. He’s never lived in America, but he believes the stability of the world is dependent upon the political future of the USA.

“The goal of socialism is communism.” I didn’t come up with that, Lenin did. All shades of Marxism are evil. And as for United Nations? It represents the thinktank responsible for spreading Marxist doctrine to the world. So, when I read about present day nations with socialist and communist governments like  Russia (where political dissidents are imprisoned), and China (where one million Uyghur Muslims and hundreds of thousands of Christians are in concentration camps), Iran (where Christians and women are horribly mistreated),  Cuba (where hundreds remain in prison for participating in the 2021 freedom protests), not to forget Pakistan (where western journalists are abducted) and all having a seat on the U.N. Human Rights Council, my head spins!

The climate agenda is not about the environment. It’s about turning American life, liberty and happiness (property ownership) upside down and introducing to the world a new order.

Biden’s Liberty-Sucking Vehicle Rules

This article is featured in the upcoming edition of the Buffalo Gap News Roundup. You can subscribe to this monthly newspaper (delivered to your home!) – subscriptions@buffalogapnews.com

Bowing to the demands of the green gods, the Biden Administration has proposed new regulations regarding the vehicles “We the People” choose to drive.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants to require that 60 percent of new car sales be battery-powered by 2030, growing to 67 percent by 2032.

Currently fewer than 6 percent are electric (the largest percentage being found in the Silicon Valley).

The green rhetoric claims these vehicles produce fewer carbon emissions than those with internal combustion engines powered by fossil fuels. Carbon emissions contribute to global warming, they say, and global warming poses a threat to the planet and mankind.

The crazy thing is, the lion’s share of electricity for battery-powered vehicles is coming from natural gas and coal instead of renewables like solar and wind. The big problem with solar and wind is simple: solar only works when the sun is overhead and not obscured by clouds, and wind turbines need just the right amount of wind to generate energy.

That’s why every solar and wind plant has a fossil fuel backup.

As the federal government moves to further erode our liberty by reducing our choices in property ownership (cars and trucks) the added demand for electricity resulting from the rapid adoption of more electric vehicles will strain the grid and—just like we experience here in California due to the insane green energy policies—rolling blackouts will occur, and bold message boards over the freeways will state: “Flex Alert! Do not charge your plug-in vehicle between 4 and 9pm.”

I’m not kidding.

And then, there are the batteries.

Seventy percent of the world’s electric battery components are produced in the slave state known as China. 83 percent of China’s energy comes from fossil fuels.  The longer the range of the battery, the more carbon is used in the production process. Senecal has calculated that carbon emissions to produce a battery for a Nissan Leaf were equivalent to driving a gasoline-powered BMW 320D for 24,000 miles. For a larger Tesla Model S battery, carbon emissions used in production are equivalent to driving the BMW 320D for 60,000 miles.

The Tesla S is the electric vehicle of choice in the Silicon Valley—they cost about $145,000 (from my experience,  most of them are driven by dim-witted drivers who don’t seem to feel a need to wash their super luxury vehicles).

It is also curious how those who think they are doing their share in saving the planet by driving an electric car are not concerned about the horrid environmental impact associated with mining the essential mineral required for the batteries. And, of course, the mining creates its own greenhouse gases.

Oh, and then there is this ugly fact: those batteries are not recycled. Quite a few companies are trying to get into that game, but so far no one is able to do it efficiently (don’t tell anyone, but I have a friend who works at the Tesla battery assembly plant in Nevada—there hundreds of rail cars chock full of used Tesla automobiles that previous owners traded in; no one wants to replace the batteries after they are spent).

The bottom line is, until electricity can be generated by emissions-free energy, battery-powered vehicles will generally increase, rather than reduce, emissions. The EPA’s new rules to put more electric vehicles on the roads will take away choices for consumers without reducing emissions.

Earth Day: The Real Story

From my book, Climategate: A Veteran Meteorologist Exposes the Global Warming Scam:

On April 22, 1970, a trio of radical dreamers established the first Earth Day, an annual event designed to assault capitalism, free-markets and mankind.

The initial concept was conceived by Senator Gaylord Nelson (D-WS).  Nelson was Congress’ leading environmentalist activist, a sort of preincarnate Senator Barbara Boxer in drag.  He was also the mastermind behind those ridiculous teach-ins which were vogue in the Sixties and early Seventies.  During the teach-ins, mutinous school instructors would scrap the day’s assigned curriculum, pressure their students to sit cross-legged on the floor, and “rap” about how America was an imperialist nation, and converse about why communism really wasn’t such a bad form of government—it just needed to be implemented properly.

Nelson’s teach-in efforts were aided by a young man named Denis Hayes.  Hayes was student body president while at Stanford, and well known for organizing anti-Vietnam war protests.  Hayes heard about Senator Nelson’s teach-in concept and eventually helped Nelson institute the practice nationwide.

Rounding out the troika was Professor Paul Ehrlich of Stanford.  In 1968 Ehrlich authored the Malthusian missive, The Population Bomb, in which he infamously spouted wild allegations which included equating the earth’s supposed surplus of people with a cancer that needs to be eradicated:  “A cancer is an uncontrolled multiplication of cells; the population explosion is an uncontrolled multiplication of people…We must shift our efforts from treatment of the symptoms to the cutting out of the cancer.  The operation will demand many apparently brutal and heartless decisions,” he wrote.

In 1969, following a much-hyped oil spill off the Santa Barbara coast, an overblown patch of fire on Cleveland’s Cuyahoga River, and the drug-induced vibes cast across the nation via the Woodstock Music and Art Fair, Senator Nelson met with Ehrlich and reportedly said, “My God—why not a national teach-in on the environment?”  Hayes was brought in to play a pivotal role with organization and implementation.  After careful consideration a name and date for the event were chosen:  the inaugural Earth Day would be celebrated April 22, 1970—Russian dictator Vladimir Lenin’s Centennial.

Environmentalists have always admired Lenin.  He was the first disciple of Karl Marx to capture control of a country, and the opening act of his seven-year reign commenced with the abolition of all private property—a Marxist priority.  Despite overseeing a bloody civil war, a devastated economy and a citizenry without hope, Lenin made it a priority to implement his signature decree, “On Land.”  In it he declared that all forests, waters, and minerals to be the exclusive property of the state, and he demanded these resources be protected from use by the public and private enterprise.  Selling timber or firewood, mining minerals, or diverting water for farming was strictly prohibited.

While Nelson and Ehrlich were already known as non-traditional crackpots, Hayes was that and more.  In a New York Times article published the morning after the first Earth Day headlined, “Angry Coordinator of Earth Day,” young Hayes bragged that five years earlier he fled overseas because “I had to get away from America.”  Hayes was so committed to his anti-capitalist cause that he made sure his organization did not even produce Earth Day bumper stickers, “You want to know why?” he explained to the Times, because “they go on automobiles.”

Earth Day has never been a celebration of the beauty and bounty of this awesome terrestrial ball.  Instead it’s always been an assault on man.   During the first decade of Earth Day observances people were proclaimed the polluter.  By the Eighties the event’s organizers cast mankind as the tree killer, and, with the Nineties, humans evolved into the animal species annihilator.  The global warming scare never really became popular until the late Nineties, and when it did, it provided compatriots at the Earth Day headquarters with the ultimate hook to hang their red berets: humans, particularly Americans, were now screwing up the entire planet’s climate.

Rather then join in the Marxist falderal designed to hammer the American way, let’s give thanks to God for our nation’s abundant resources and the absolute natural beauty of this planet on which we live; and  let us strive as a people to return to the natural laws of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (property ownership) that made this nation unique.
