Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Wants a Law to Punish Global Warming Skeptics
April 25th, 2023The article below is from 2015, but it doesn’t matter, because, even if RFK Jr. had widespread support—he doesn’t—the Democratic Party would simply screw him over.
I don’t know if I have the energy to do this again, but, as per the quadrennial routine in the U.S., here’s what’s going to happen: After more than a year of heightened idiocracy (leading up to November 2024), Americans will be presented with a “choice” of the two most god awful, fully compromised presidential candidates imaginable.
Then, on election day, it will be time to choose wisely and then wear the pin.
If you’re looking for reasons to pick a candidate, any candidate, I would consider medical freedom and an anti-CBDC (central bank digital currency) stance to be minimums. If you agree, Kennedy is the only option so far. DeSantis is for medical freedom and against CBDC, but he isn’t running. (At least, not yet.) It’s hard to see how either of them will be on the ballots in November 2024.
As for Trump, he will always be Mr. Pfizer Warp Speed to me. Was he in on the Covid scam from the start, or was it incompetence? In either case, Trump is the front runner on the Republican side by a wide margin.
Last but not least, Joe Biden. 70% of Americans don’t want him to run, but he will be running, falling, stumbling and mumbling for re-election anyway.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in an interview that he wishes there were a law to “punish” people who are skeptical of or deny global warming.
“I don’t think there is a law that you can punish these politicians under,” Kennedy said, adding that skeptical politicians are “selling out the public trust.”
Kennedy was very critical of the conservative Koch Brothers and politicians who fail to act on climate change, calling them “contemptible human beings.” “Those guys are doing the Koch Brothers’ bidding and are against all the evidence of the rational mind, saying global warming does not exist,” he said.

“People Are Getting Plastic Surgery Now So They Can Try To Look Like These Filters”
April 24th, 2023I just emailed this to a friend with a teenage daughter who is a heavy Tiktok user. I thought Tiktok was mostly a bunch of short attention span nonsense, wasting people’s time. Nope. It’s much worse than that.
Names have been changed:
Hi John
I saw a disturbing video about TikTok. I remember you mentioning that Sarah used TikTok, so I thought that you should know about this.
I queued the long video to the part when the new filters are discussed at 42 min. 19 seconds:
In short, TikTok is using AI to change the way people look on that thing and it’s causing a variety of mental illnesses.
Maybe Sarah doesn’t use that thing anymore, but I thought I should warn you just in case.
Cheers
Kevin

Chinese Are All Over Afghan Lithium
April 23rd, 2023Via: ZeroHedge:
A Chinese company has offered the Taliban $10 billion and a proposal to build key strategic infrastructure connecting north-south Afghanistan in exchange for access to the country’s lithium reserves.
…
Darbey said the Chinese interest in the region is not new—in 2021, two Chinese companies were sent to Ghazni to conduct technical research and inspect lithium and goldmines.
While China’s lithium reserves are depleting, the Afghan deposits are unexploited. Five Chinese companies have set up their representative offices in Afghanistan, and around 20 Chinese companies have made inquiries about lithium projects, according to Darbey.
Ex-FBI Agents Accuse Top CIA, FBI Officials of 9/11 Coverup; CIA Said to Use Saudis, Others for Illegal Domestic Spy Operations
April 23rd, 2023I’m posting this with the following caveat: This should not be considered an endorsement of any aspect of the official story of how 9/11 was carried out.
My take on this is that it might indicate some activities related to CIA’s management of patsies ahead of the big day.
Via: Florida Bulldog:
It is nevertheless remarkable for its accounts supporting the veracity of long public, yet highly disturbing allegations that top CIA officials, including Director George Tenet, intentionally withheld vital intelligence from the FBI that might have prevented the Sept. 11, 2001 al Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington. Specifically, that known operatives and future hijackers Nawaf al Hazmi and Khalid al Mihdhar had entered the U.S. in Los Angeles shortly after attending an al Qaeda summit meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in early January 2000.
The new accounts, mostly obtained during interviews in 2016 and 2018, flesh out that narrative. They also support the ominous theory, never fully explored by either the 9/11 Commission or Congress, that the CIA kept silent because it was secretly working hand in glove with its Saudi Arabian counterpart to recruit Hazmi and Mihdhar as informants.
…
The CIA’s lack of cooperation with the FBI is discussed in detail in the declaration. One ex-FBI agent who worked under CIA control at Usama Bin Laden (UBL) Station, also known as ALEC Station, discussed how a colleague had prepared a Central Intelligence Report “outlining the possible presence of Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar in the U.S.,” but was not allowed to forward it to the FBI for action.
California Meets 100% Of Water Requests For First Time Since 2006
April 23rd, 2023Via: ZeroHedge:
Due to a wet winter and record mountain snowpack, California will provide 100% of the water requested by cities and farms, marking the first time in nearly two decades.
The office of California Governor Gavin Newsom released a statement Thursday that said, “State water contractors to 100% of requested supplies for 29 public water agencies that serve 27 million Californians.”
This is the highest water allocation since 2006, as state water officials rush to replenish groundwater and aquifers after years of drought.
Newsom Sending National Guard to San Francisco
April 22nd, 2023The article states:
Additionally, the Governor instructed the California National Guard to identify specialist personnel and resources to analyze drug trafficking operations, with a focus on dismantling fentanyl trafficking rings.
The California National Guard is going to analyze drug trafficking operations???
Via: Daily Mail:
The Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, has ordered state police and the California National Guard to partner with local law enforcement agencies to tackle San Francisco’s drug problem and disrupt fentanyl trafficking.
The move comes after city officials requested state and federal assistance to tackle the issues of open-air drug dealing.
The Governor announced the plan on Friday just days after taking a tour of the Tenderloin district with California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Mayor London Breed’s Chief of Staff in which the trio assessed the situation for themselves and saw how bad the fentanyl crisis in the city has become.
The California Highway Patrol, the California National Guard, the San Francisco Police Department, and the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office will now collaborate to help the city address the drug problem.
CDC Director Admits For The First Time That Vaccinated People Can Spread COVID
April 22nd, 2023Via: Summit News:
For the first time, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky admitted to Congress Wednesday that those who have taken the COVID vaccine are still capable of spreading the virus to others.
Walensky, who has recently had COVID despite being 5x vaccinated, claimed that her own earlier statements about the virus not being carried by vaccinated people and COVID now being a ‘pandemic of the unvaccinated’ no longer apply because of “an evolution of science.”
“That statement is no longer correct with the Omicron variants we have right now,” she told lawmakers.
CATL Announces 500 Wh/Kg “Semi-Solid State” Battery

Chinese battery giant CATL on Wednesday unveiled a new ultra-high energy battery technology initially slated for aviation, and with an automotive cell under development.
The so-called “condensed matter” battery, a type of semi-solid state product with condensed electrolyte and new anode and separator materials, will have an energy density of up to 500 Wh/kg.

However, no information has been revealed about the cost of the new cells, or the materials required to make them. A few other specifications, such as charging efficiency, charge/discharge rate, safety ranges, and life cycles, were also missing.

The pay package awarded to Alphabet Inc. Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai soared to $226 million in 2022, boosted by a triennial stock grant, making him one of the world’s highest-paid corporate leaders.
