Hurricane Idalia

Please don’t lose site of the danger once the storm passes into the Atlantic. The coastal ocean waters of the Carolinas are in the 80s. That is still plenty of heat to worry about as the storm refuels.

$35.00 insulin

The FDA needs to conduct studies to ensure the amount of insulin is exactly the same PER MILLIMETER of fluid in a pen and/or vile. The same patient may need more of an injection if manufacturers are monkeying with the formulation of the insulin vs. carrying fluid. It is one thing to pay $35 per pen or vile and quite another believing one’s diabetes has gotten worse which now requires 2 pens per month or 2 biles per month when only one was necessary before. 

It is called capitalism vs. quality control.

Hurricane Danger!

 Normally as a hurricane reaches the continental shelf there is a dampening effect and the danger is a little less. That happened with Katrina as it approached Louisiana. However, the hurricane facing Florida has extremely hot ocean waters that will fuel it to overcome any drag on the storm, that was not the case with Katrina.

The Florida coastal waters have hot 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The hurricane will gain strength at the very last moments before landfall.

GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THIS HURRICANE!!!

The cost of the best military in the world.

Outlaw the Osprey!

The only thing it is good for is scrap metal.

The Osprey is a mistake and not a cutting edge military vehicle. The American people spend money to have a cutting edge military. Things go wrong and the Osprey is one of those things that went wrong. 

The human lives in any military armament far exceeds the value of a mistake regardless the taxpayer dollars spent. Please value lives over mistakes and scrap the damn things.

Semper fidelis.

They are always loyal and so should we be of them.

Texas electric grid failure

I stated earlier this season the failure of any power source that drives air conditioning is a very real probability, especially in larger human population areas. Well, Texas is reporting they will be seeing failures in their electric grid. 

The Governor needs to declare a climate emergency and order people to report to cooling centers. It needs to be a mandatory declaration because people will wait until it is too late. Folks should have already been experiencing rolling black outs and retreat to cooling centers to prepare them for grid failures.

DO NOT WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE LINE THE STREET DEAD!

China has no right to complain.

Many people are not happy with Japan and it’s release of radioactive water. This has been years in the making and China is a permanent member of the UN Security Council. China declaring certain fisheries unsafe is fear monger if.

China has no right to raise fear and hate of Japan if it never bothered to object to this solution for Japan. There is no testing of the fisheries to determine danger to anyone.

China’s complaining is China showing it’s communist side and nothing more. Did China have an alternative plan? 

There have been problems recently along the border with NATO.

The Wagner military had taken refugee in Belarus. Now, their leader may be dead.

The USA has issued strong recommendations for Americans to leave Belarus. There are tensions that exist with Russia in regard to the Wagner group. Anti-Putin statements are met with Putin's hatred and revenge.

July 19, 2023

Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin (click here) emerged publicly for the first time since the aborted mutiny in Russia to declare the mercenary group has moved to Belarus “for some time.”

Prigozhin is heard welcoming a large number of fighters “on Belarusian soil” in a grainy video shot in poor light that was posted Wednesday on a Telegram channel linked to his group. There was no indication of where the video was taken or on what day, and Bloomberg News couldn’t independently verify it....

Any excuse is a good excuse to arrest an American.

Uncertain conditions in Belarus (click here) have led U.S. State Department officials to recommend that all American citizens leave the former Soviet republic immediately.

U.S. personnel at the embassy in Minsk, Belarus, said in a recently issued alert that they may be unable to assist citizens living in or traveling to the nation, due to “the arbitrary enforcement of local laws, the potential of civil unrest [and] the risk of detention.” The alert also cites the Belarusian government’s support of Russia in its war against Ukraine and the increased presence of Russian troops in the country as ongoing concerns for U.S. travelers.

“Belarusian authorities have detained tens of thousands of individuals, including U.S. citizens, for alleged affiliations with opposition parties and alleged participation in political demonstrations. U.S. citizens in the vicinity of demonstrations have been arrested. Some have been victims of harassment and/or mistreatment by Belarusian officials,” reads the existing travel advisory from the U.S. State Department, which lists Belarus as a Level 4 (“Do Not Travel”) nation....

The chief of the Wagner private military group, (click here) Yevgeny Prigozhin, on Friday accused Russian military leadership of striking a Wagner military camp and killing a "huge amount" of his mercenary forces.

Prigozhin claimed that the Russian Ministry of Defense tricked Wagner and he vowed to "respond to these atrocities."

"They sneakily deceived us, trying to deprive us of the opportunity to defend our homes and instead hunt down Wagner PMC. We were ready to compromise with the Ministry of Defense to hand over our weapons and find a solution how we will continue to defend our country. But these scumbags did not calm down," Prigozhin said in a voice note posted on Telegram.

"They saw that we weren't broken and they launched strikes on our camps. A huge amount of our fighters were killed, our comrades in arms. We will make a decision about how to respond to these atrocities. The next step is ours," he continued, alleging that "they wiped out dozens."

Russia's Ministry of Defense denied the allegation in a Telegram post Friday, calling the messages and videos spreading on social networks on behalf of Prigozhin about the event "untrue" and "an informational provocation."

Prigozhin claimed that the "evil that is being carried out" by Russia's military leadership "must be stopped" following the alleged attack. "They disregard the lives of soldiers, they have forgotten the word 'justice,'" Prigozhin said in the voice recording....

What Chief Wagner was referring to is the extremely large number of dead Russians in Putin's Special Military Operation.

The total number of Ukrainian and Russian troops (click here) killed or wounded since the war in Ukraine began 18 months ago is nearing 500,000, U.S. officials said, a staggering toll as Russia assaults its next-door neighbor and tries to seize more territory....

...Russia’s military casualties, the officials said, are approaching 300,000. The number includes as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injured troops. The Russian numbers dwarf the Ukrainian figures, which the officials put at close to 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000 wounded....

Besides the obvious genocide by Russia of Ukraine, Russia has been having a field day victimizing more Russians. President Navalny, the rightful leader of Russia, has been given even more prison time.

August 4, 2023

ByPatrick Reevell and Morgan Winsor

Russian President Vladimir Putin's (click here) most prominent opponent was sentenced Friday to an additional 19 years behind bars on extremism charges.

A Russian judge delivered the guilty verdict and sentencing in the closed-door trial against Alexey Navalny at a courtroom inside the maximum-security prison camp in Melekhovo, about 145 miles east of Moscow, where the Russian opposition leader is already serving 11 1/2 years. Russian prosecutors had requested a 20-year prison term for the latest charges, which stem from Navalny's pro-democracy campaigns against Putin's regime.

It's Navalny's fifth criminal conviction and longest prison sentence to date. All of the charges have been widely viewed as a politically motivated strategy by the Kremlin to silence its fiercest critic.

The United States subsequently called for Navalny's "immediate release," describing his latest conviction and sentencing as "an unjust conclusion to an unjust trial."

"For years, the Kremlin has attempted to silence Navalny and prevent his calls for transparency and accountability from reaching the Russian people," U.S. Department of State spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a statement on Friday. "By conducting this latest trial in secret and limiting his lawyers’ access to purported evidence, Russian authorities illustrated yet again both the baselessness of their case and the lack of due process afforded to those who dare to criticize the regime."...

There is a pattern. Speak out against Vladimir Putin and be the victim of oppression and in the case of Yevgeny Prigozhin quite possibly dead in a plane crash.

August 20, 2023

Supporters of imprisoned Russian opposition leader Aleksei Navalny (click here) around the world are marking the third anniversary of his near-fatal poisoning with demonstrations against Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Dozens of protesters took to the streets in cities in Australia, Switzerland, Georgia, France, Estonia, New Zealand, and other countries on August 20 under the slogan “Putin is a Killer.”

Protesters also carried signs condemning Russia’s unprovoked 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Navalny’s supporters posted on Telegram a photograph of a man in Makhachkala, the capital of the North Caucasus region of Daghestan, holding a sign reading, “Release Navalny! No repression! No war!”

They posted a similar photo of a man holding such a sign on Red Square in Moscow.

OVD-Info, which monitors repression in Russia, reported that two people were detained in Moscow carrying signs calling for the release of political prisoners. It was not clear if those incidents were related to the Navalny protests....

And there is a Republican running for President probably hoping for the return of the NRA - Russia connection. His position is counter to that of the USA and NATO while adding permission for Russia to find justification in the number of Russians that may live in the region DeSantis questions as Ukraine. DeSantis support of ANY idea of a Russian right to genocide is Anti-American.

March 23, 2023
By Meg Kinnard

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (click here) is walking back his characterization of Russia’s war in Ukraine as a “territorial dispute,” following criticism from a number of fellow Republicans who expressed concern about the potential 2024 presidential candidate’s dismissive description of the conflict.

In excerpts of an interview with Piers Morgan set to air Thursday on Fox Nation, DeSantis said his earlier comments referenced ongoing fighting in the eastern Donbas region, as well as Russia’s 2014 seizure of Crimea. Ukraine’s borders are internationally recognized, including by the United Nations.

“What I’m referring to is where the fighting is going on now, which is that eastern border region Donbas, and then Crimea, and you have a situation where Russia has had that. I don’t think legitimately, but they had,” DeSantis said, according to excerpts. “There’s a lot of ethnic Russians there. So, that’s some difficult fighting, and that’s what I was referring to, and so it wasn’t that I thought Russia had a right to that, and so if I should have made that more clear, I could have done it.”...

Anyone that turns the other way on genocide is not ever supposed to be in an office in the USA, especially a Trump Wannabee.

A century after his father and mother fled Russia (click here) to escape the Bolsheviks, renowned mathematician Alexey Sossinsky (click here) found history repeating itself when President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine.

Brought up in France and the United States, Sossinsky moved to the land of his parents' birth in 1957 and carved out a distinguished academic career.

But at 85 he is now an exile once more. When Putin launched the war last year, he left with two suitcases in the middle of the night....

The Republican Party is an existential threat to American justice and domestic peace. They create victims and not citizens.

North Carolina's Republican legislative majorities goes too far in executing the Supreme Court decision regarding Affirmative Action. Now, even scholarships designated to elevate minority students in their financial burden for a higher education cannot be applied. 

August 23, 2023
By John Hammer

The University of North Carolina System (click here) has issued directives to its 17 campuses, including two in Greensboro – the University of North Carolina Greensboro (UNCG) and North Carolina Agricultural and Technology State University (NCA&TSU) – on how to comply with the recent US Supreme Court decision on admissions.

The directive states that the Supreme Court decision in “Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President & Fellows of Harvard College found that race-conscious admissions practices violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment and therefore must end.”

The directive states, “Race can be neither a means nor an end in college admissions. This applies to admissions practices both written and unwritten, and there is no wiggle room – no institution may try to achieve indirectly what the Court prohibited directly.”

The directive recommends removing the “race box” from applications in the future, while noting that it exists on current applications. It states, “Asking applicants to indicate their race on their applications likely will force campuses to prove that their express knowledge of an applicant’s race did not factor into the decision to admit or deny the student. Proving a negative is always difficult, even more so when the question turns on reading the mind of an admissions officer who could know the race of the applicant.”

The directive notes that the Supreme Court decision recognizes that diversity of other types other than race can be constitutionally sound goals, but warns that these goals must be “race blind” and “cannot be proxies or pretexts to achieve racial targets prohibited” by the Supreme Court decision.

The directive also notes that the rationale in the Supreme Court decision “will be extended to other instances where university actors use race in allocating university resources.” It recommends that universities evaluate scholarships and aid programs that take race into consideration and states, “Programs that offer opportunities for students based on race to the exclusion of others, who are not of the same race, may also be implicated by the Court’s ruling.”

The overall theme of the directives is that universities should follow both the letter and the spirit of the Supreme Court decision.

One conversation that is not on the national agenda is that the US Supreme Court and it's wildly adverse decisions is all happening in the context of racial violence in the USA.

THAT MATTERS.

If American minorities aren't feeling the pain of institutionalized racism today, then they are out of touch with the violence with communities and the backlash of a Supreme Court that cares little about women and minorities and their freedoms.

The context within the country that these Supreme Court decisions are being made reflect a court that is adverse to domestic peace and the rights of citizens. Their decisions add fuel to the race fire already ignited within the USA. I sincerely believe the Robert's Court is hostile to the domestic peace every American has a right to enjoy.

In the span of a week, (click here) I went from mourning those murdered in a Buffalo supermarket shooting to mourning children murdered at an elementary school in Texas. As a Black woman, I went from internalizing the message that I am not even safe to go grocery shopping to fearing the reality that my child may not come home after being dropped off at class.

In the weeks leading up to this, I was contacted by several mayors and superintendents who wanted my help thinking about how they could respond to the legislative acts that are removing history – and now math books that teach history – from its classrooms. One superintendent asked, “How can they ban our math books, but then ask us to use those mathematical principles to comply with a mandate that we teach financial literacy?” She was referring to the fact that as history, literature and math books are being banned, mandates for financial literacy are on the rise. I responded quickly and said, “Financial literacy does not place a premium on remembering the past. Really, financial literacy is just a social narrative that places the burden of ending or overcoming wealth inequality on the people who suffer from it most. So, the parallel is on brand.”

So, when I saw the results of NEFE’s High School Personal Finance Education Poll, I knew it was time to talk about the relationship between personal finance, financial literacy and white supremacy.

There seems to be a general consensus that there is a growing need for financial knowledge. Reasons offered span from the emergence of a wider variety of financial products on the market to the increase of financial responsibility in areas like paying for college and retirement planning. Many have now also accepted that the increasing need for financial literacy education is because economic inequality is worsening. While this may be true, it continues to perturb me that few – if any – researchers are curious about the interrelatedness of the growing need for financial knowledge and the rapidly increasing presence of white supremacist violence.

That is the purpose of this publication: to propose a framework for understanding the relationship between financial literacy education and white supremacy....

The Republican Party has targeted African American women and the abortion statistic in that they are the victim of racism in causing them to have a higher abortion rate. Who talks about abortion during Black History Month? The Republican wackos on FOX News. The extremist Supreme Court must be thinking they are the saviors of the African American race. Damn poverty and financial inequality, end abortion which has always been a socio-economic issue.

February 1, 2023

Black History Month begins this week, (click here) just two weeks after tens of thousands of Americans gathered in Washington, D.C., for the 50th annual March for Life. This month and the March for Life collectively present an important opportunity to highlight two of the most pressing issues facing America’s Black community today: abortion and fatherlessness....

August 6, 2008

...These activists (click here) are exploiting and distorting the facts to serve their antiabortion agenda. They ignore the fundamental reason women have abortions and the underlying problem of racial and ethnic disparities across an array of health indicators. The truth is that behind virtually every abortion is an unintended pregnancy. This applies to all women—black, white, Hispanic, Asian and Native American alike. Not surprisingly, the variation in abortion rates across racial and ethnic groups relates directly to the variation in the unintended pregnancy rates across those same groups.

Black women are not alone in having disproportionately high unintended pregnancy and abortion rates. The abortion rate among Hispanic women, for example, although not as high as the rate among black women, is double the rate among whites. Hispanics also have a higher level of unintended pregnancy than white women. Black women's unintended pregnancy rates are the highest of all. These higher unintended pregnancy rates reflect the particular difficulties that many women in minority communities face in accessing high-quality contraceptive services and in using their chosen method of birth control consistently and effectively over long periods of time. Moreover, these realities must be seen in a larger context in which significant racial and ethnic disparities persist for a wide range of health outcomes, from diabetes to heart disease to breast and cervical cancer to sexually transmitted infections (STI), including HIV....

As kids, my sisters and I would giggle about the naked pictures in the huge Bible under the coffee table in the living room. Did they ban the Bible in Iowa?

Copies of banned books sit in the garage of Sara Hayden Parris, founder and president of Annie's Foundation, a nonprofit that opposes book removals, on Thursday, Aug. 3, 2023, in Johnston. The books await being given away.

Hundreds of books would be banned in Urbandale schools, (click here) providing the first full scope of just how many titles could be removed from schools under a new Iowa law that forbids teaching about gender identity and prohibits publications that depict sex acts.

The Des Moines Register obtained a list of 374 books that the Urbandale Community School District believes could violate Senate File 496, which, among other changes, requires teachers and administrators to review their libraries and classrooms for books that depict sex acts and prohibits them from buying them in the first place.

The law also prohibits schools from providing instruction about gender identity or sexual orientation before seventh grade, which Urbandale officials believe includes books, according to instructions provided on the list....

THIS ISN'T ABOUT RELIGION!

No one is threating religious organizations and/or their doctrine. This is ridiculous. This is about the rights of children who feel differently about their bodies. There is nothing wrong with a transgender girl or boy asserting their rights to their own bodies.

According to the APA Style guide, (click here) the term “transsexual” is largely outdated, but some people identify with it; this term should be used only for an individual who specifically claims it.

In the meantime, please refer to the Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Transgender and Gender Nonconforming People (PDF, 472KB for more up-to-date language regarding transgender and gender nonconforming people....

The professions are busy catching up with the best terminology to express the BIOLOGICAL basis of transgender. The confusion perpetrated by the Republican Party is Anti-American.

May 12, 2023

By David Crary

As Republican-governed states (click here) across the nation advance myriad bills targeting transgender young people, America’s faith leaders are starkly divided in their assessment. Some view the legislation as reflecting God’s will; others voice outrage that Christianity is being invoked to justify laws they view as cruel and hateful.

In one camp are many legislators who have cited their conservative religious beliefs while promoting these bills, as well as leaders of America’s two largest denominations — the Catholic Church and the Southern Baptist Convention.

U.S. Catholic bishops have rejected the concept of gender transition; they issued guidelines in March to stop Catholic hospitals from assisting in such transitions. The SBC has been on record since 2014 asserting that gender transition is “contrary to God’s design.”...

Gen 9:18-27 (click here) And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham [is] the father of Canaan. 19 These [are] the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. 20 And Noah began [to be] an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: 21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid [it] upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces [were] backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness. 24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. 25 And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 26 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 

The Republican Party is an existential threat to the United States of America.

I am quite certain China and Russia could not be happier.

Slightly more than half of likely Republican caucusgoers (click here) believe Trump's claims he won the 2020 election, 41% do not and 8% aren't sure according to a Des Moines Register/NBC News/Mediacom Iowa Poll

August 22, 2023

By Galen Bacharier

A majority of voters (click here) likely to attend the Iowa Republican caucuses believe that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election over President Joe Biden, a new Des Moines Register/NBC News/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows.

Asked whether “you believe or not believe Donald Trump’s claims he won the 2020 presidential election,” 51% of likely Republican caucusgoers say they believe them, 41% do not and 8% are unsure.

Among self-identified Republicans, factoring out the independents, Democrats and members of other parties who say they plan to caucus with the GOP, the portion who believe Trump’s claims is even higher, 60%, while 33% do not.

Those beliefs linger despite the lack of evidence of substantial voter fraud in the 2020 election and dozens of court cases in which judges, some of whom Trump appointed, threw out fraud claims....

The Trump propaganda networks, including Tucker Carlson, have been very successful in lying to Americans. This is a poll of the Iowa Republicans, but, what is a poll of the general public.

I am sorry, but, in scanning the field of Republican candidates this year, the ONLY person anyone should consider to be a legitimate candidate with any real interest in the USA is the Former Governor Chris Christi. He is the only one that deserves and has earned the respect of Americans. I don't care what the political differences are, he has been an honorable member of this society and he is a candidate worthy of consideration. The only one as far as I am concerned even close to being called a competent authority on governance.

The operators to the bad checks are average people.

I am not certain how their compensation system works, but, the craftsperson producing the checks must be paid up front and the operator takes it from there allowing a certain amount for the Untied Nations' participation.

The "Pacific Residential" check was commissioned by a man named Michael Donald, a Scotsman from the UK now working in Vietnam on a condominium project.

He and his check manufacturer are still in business even today.

The cowboy had is his latest addition to his lack of character.

The addition to his latest attempt at fraud was sent from:

Fulfillment Center

(000)000-0000
Fulfillment Center
3528 Flatlands Ave.
Brooklyn, NY 11234-2609

That return address may be fraudulent but it was listed only yesterday as a source of mailing. 

Supposedly he is in Hanoi, Vietnam working on a condominium project.

The way these guys operate is that they work in countries outside that of NATO. They may or may not be outlawed by that country to conduct such fraud, but, they think nothing of it. 

Michael Donald claims to have a daughter and a mother in Scotland that he supports. I don't know if that is true. 

As a contractor/engineer he bids on these contracts and then while living in a foreign country makes his rounds on "LinkedIn" or "Facebook" to connect with women that in turn send them money because either his mother is ill or his daughter is dying or there are problems on the job like a worker that became injured and needs help with hospitalization bills. 

Michael Donald uses "Google Chat" and the other website before "Chat" (I think it was called Hangouts) for the intimate details of his life. This is real and it is happening as I write this.

One of the favorite countries for these guys is Turkey. They work for lawyers that have found accounts with the government worth a lot of money if the lawyers are willing to pay the taxes on the account. They put together monies, pay the taxes and take plenty of money out of the Turkish treasury. Turkey is NATO perhaps there is some traction there. But, Michael Donald has worked in Belgium at the time of the building collapse there.

If there is any way of turning a buck, be it legal or not these guys know how to proceed. This is his latest fraudulent venture. This is fresh off the presses. Some agency needs to put an end to this. It is outrageous this goes on in the USA.

This project has been nearly two years in the making. Getting this trusted is not easy and takes time. There is a lot of information I have accumulated and I will be packing it and sending to the FBI. I sincerely expect something be done about all this. It is an outrage that any senior citizen, woman or man, has been exposed to these dangers with highly sophisticated counter-terrorist measures the USA has invested in since September 11th. These conversations are international and are supposed to be monitored, but, no one would ever know it.

I will be posting more about the dynamics of the Untied Nations organized crime network in the future.

The Hawaiian Governor and President Biden should work together to protect the land and people from greed and exploitation.

This is America. Greed without one pause to realize entire families are probably lost, there are still 1000 missing and the entire island chain is grieving some of the most beautiful people and lands on Earth. Does Wall Street care, heck no.

This attempt at a land grab of charred remains is simply an outrage, a grossly unethical value system and those attempting to take land from the victims of this wildfire should be charged and jailed.

August 17, 2023
By Ariana Baio and Stuti Mishra

At least 111 people have died (click here) as a result of the fast-moving Hawaii wildfires that caused widespread destruction in the town of Lahaina.

As search efforts are underway, residents of Maui are reporting that investors and realtors are trying to capitalise on the wildfires to purchase land from locals....

These are not normal or ethical practices.

What is a land grab? (click here)

Imagine waking up one day to be told you’re about to be evicted from your home —being told that you no longer have the right to remain on land that you’ve lived on for years. And then, if you refuse to leave, being forcibly removed. For many communities in developing countries, this is a familiar story.

In the past decade, more than 81 million acres of land worldwide—an area the size of Portugal—has been sold off to foreign investors. Some of these deals are what’s known as land grabs: land deals that happen without the free, prior, and informed consent of communities that often that often result in farmers being forced from their homes and families left hungry. The term “land grabs” was defined in the Tirana Declarations (2011) by the International Land Coalition, consisting of 116 organizations from community groups to the World Bank....

Tirana Declarations (2011) (click here)

There is a journalist that lives in Hawaii and very familiar with local understanding of the land.

...First, I want to refute the headline (click here) that this was Hawaii’s deadliest natural disaster. This wasn’t a natural disaster. This was a human-made disaster generations in the making.

The scores of deaths on Maui were not because of Hurricane Dora.

Our islands have been disrespected for centuries.

Hawaii’s lands and waters have been devastated by extractive agriculture, overdevelopment and militarization.

The consequences of raising non-native crops and livestock in Hawaii have ravaged our lands and made us the planet’s extinction capital.

This is an obvious truth we know: Maui was a tinderbox. The warnings were given but not heeded. The repeating instances of institutional negligence are enervating.

The warnings came not only from academics and nonprofit organizations, but they were also in the mo’olelo (stories) from our kupuna.

After all, Lahaina in Olelo Hawaii means “cruel sun.”...

Nuclear Proliferation

When peace, democracy, the climate, and the truth were an agenda in the USA about three decades ago the understanding of “a nuclear winter” was clearly part of underlying facts to political campaigns. A nuclear winter is the after math of a nuclear war. Earth’s stratosphere will be so full of nuclear debris it would block the sun. What results is freezing and the end of life on Earth within a year.

Currently, North Korea is boasting it will build more missiles and Russia is refitting its navy with hypersonic missiles. The entire scenario of muscle flexing is a false and misguided agenda for national security. Any nuclear nation’s national security is not served by such hardware, it endangers it.

The world needs an agenda of peace to combat the climate crisis, not ridiculous escalation of hatred and genocide. Nuclear proliferation is an agenda of genocide.

Georgia indictments

Thorough, precise and inclusive it is handed down by a jury of peers and prepared by a highly qualified prosecutor.

The American people need to realize this is not a campaign stop, but, a serious attack against the USA Constitution by the former president and his political allies as well an attempt to remove the very basis of democracy; integrity of one person, one vote.

I thank all the people involved in bringing this case to the Georgia Grand Jury. The country is indebted to all involved for their dedication to justice and the rule of law.

I remember testimony to the USA Congress years ago by Michael Cohen completely unrelated to this Grand Jury indictment whereby he stated Donald Trump would never leave the White House even if defeated in an election. It was an odd statement in foretelling Trump’s intentions, but, stood out as a warning to an agenda. The country mostly dismissed the statement, but, how did Michael Cohen know what lay ahead for us?

The statement by Cohen was exactly correct. After the defeat of Trump by the current President Biden, thousands upon thousands stormed the USA Capitol to destroy our constitution with acts of violence including the building of gallows. Trump assailed his security team because he wanted to be in that crowd. The evidence along the way in now four indictments outweighs the cries of any of the defendants.

Trump’s candidacy isn’t and hasn’t been interested in what is best for the country, it is about his own agenda to harness power for his own purposes. He definitely wants to defeat democracy. That focus and his ability to attract violence and sensationalism has enemies of the USA lining up to defeat the democracy. Trump is a perversion of freedom, not its best example. 

The Inflation Reduction Act

It was a major climate provision for the USA. It might be time to assess it’s effect so far, but, it seems to me the USA needs another Cash for Clunkers. This time, however, it should be a Gas For EV Act. The legislation should be a heavy incentive to give up the internal combustion engine for an electric motor while replacing gasoline pumps for charging stations. The climate crisis demands it. That would be so magnificent to see greenhouse emissions stabilize and reverse. It should be done without hesitation.

Ban it!

This company is aware of the fraud. I notified them. This is a fictious check.

The California company is real. It is an upstanding company with many employees. If this check was ever honored by a financial institution there is no doubt it would cause some degree of hardship. I doubt it would be disabling, but, the loss of nearly $100k would be an issue in any company's cash flow.

It was never clear to me that the incident was reported to the California State prosecutor or any other law enforcement. In my opinion it should be and now probably will get some attention. 

To be completely clear, this company is a victim of identity theft. I have another check and they are remarkably similar. As a matter of fact it was easy to recognize the second fictious check after first seeing this one. I makes me believe the person producing these checks are the same individual. 

I have a hunch. Nothing more than a hunch. I think it is a man and/or woman in New York City with a name of Gonzalez. I have no real facts to back that up, simply names within a friends list that seemed to make sense to me.

The account numbers on the check are not real. 

This is the envelope it came in. Very funny stuff. It came from a "fulfillment center."

That is the back of the envelope. 

Here again, the definition of terrorist is when a person or group use a civilization's infrastructure against them. They are completely using the business infrastructure against the country and citizens. This is an intelligence operation and it is a terrorist organization.

I will continue this at another time.

Thank  you for your interest. Tell our Senior Citizens you love them and they don't need people they don't know to make them feel they have a purpose.

 

I want to get back to discussing Untied Nations and why it is such a terrible entity in the world.

American Senior Citizens and anyone else that becomes involved with this organized crime network is in for a lot of personal problems after their information is obtained. Let's start with these factious checks they produce. 

The checks can be deposited in any bank, credit union or financial institution. In some instances it is decided by Untied Nations that a separate dedicated account would be best. Why? Because they would have complete control over the movement of monies. Yes, that was movement of monies.

These checks have no value, so when they are processed by a financial institution they are treated as if a check with full face value. I am not sure why the financial institutions do this, but, it is probably due to the idea anything is possible with computerization including having money immediately even though the owner of the account just deposited a printed piece of paper called a check.

In my opinion financial institutions are like sheep over a cliff, if one does it they all do it, no different than landlords of apartments. The reason of course is competition for business and what the market will bear.

Electronic checks. These are slid into an account when the owner has relinquished the username and password. Along with the username and password Untied Nations and/or their operative has the account information and any other requirements such as security questions.

The electronic checks deposited conveniently to bank accounts these days are not necessarily held for processing. The electronic check, the ones everyone takes a picture of to deposit over the internet, will be deposited in it's entirety as a full cash deposit. Where these checks become actual cash has to happen within a short period of time after the electronic deposit is made and before the financial institution realizes the check is fraudulent.

So, the best way to turn a factious check into cash is to use the Check Card at an ATM and remove the cash before the bank is aware of the false status of the check. Once the cash is removed, there is no going back. The organization and/or operative has enough of a hold on the owner of the account that the cash can then  be deposited into a crypto ATM. Oh, yeah, crypto definitely enters the picture. But, remember up to the point where the cash is removed from the account there is no electronic footprint by the organization or it's operatives. The operatives are the ones that are acting as the love connection.

So, the damage is done and who indeed is responsible? The owner of the account. That means when the electronic check becomes a reality that it is false and has been acted on to receive cash, the owner of the account becomes liable for it. Now, in most instances this can be reported as identity theft and the financial institutions proceed to process it as such, but, there is no real way of finding the fraudulent person that produced it as they are in a far different place than the owner of the account.

Is it truly identity theft? The information was relinquished, right? It depends on how people look at it. An older adult that has become attached to someone else regardless of being a stranger and feels they have a sincere connection to them is responding to an emergency in that relationship. The operative or the organization has simply set the scene. So, the owner of the account isn't really expecting to have allowed identity theft. They were presented with a way to solve an emergency within the relationship. The owner of the account believes every aspect of the circumstances the operative presents. So, it sincerely is identity theft in that the owner of the account was conned into being cooperative.

The financial institutions are aware of these problems, but, treat them as a business cost and move on beyond the incident. The owner of the account, of course, feels as a fool perhaps, but, that is their problem to cope with and not that of the financial institution or the operative. The operative may very well be grateful for the monies received and relieved that the emergency is now addressed. In that is also justification for the false document in that the relationship is satisfied without any real consequences.

The dynamics of the fraud are very complicated. It isn't a matter of simply making this a crime and assigning senior citizens to prison. The entire interaction between operative, adult, and financial institutions is well groomed and highly effective. This is an intelligence operation of which the law cannot sincerely hold an innocent party responsible for. The senior citizen is already suffering financial losses in most cases.

The best defense against these fires is local control and local knowledge.

Professionals in these jobs can easily be required, if not already, to make a daily entry to an official log recording observation that may or may not be climate related. They are great people and very, very smart folks.

Laws and rules have to be in place to enforce, which is reliant upon a legislature and governor that cares about what is important. Climate can be as violent as the next tornado in New Jersey or as gradual as a drying area of trees or grass. The climate aspect of conservation should be somewhat second nature to the profession, but, may require fine tuning with additional educational events to existing officers. Once such an event is held, the immediate recognition of the problem will result in the classroom coming alive with information. They really are delightful folks with a lot to say if asked.

Conservation Officer Job Specifications (click here) Employees in this job are responsible for the enforcement of laws and rules protecting the public health and regulating the conservation and use of the natural resources of the state. Conservation Officers are peace officers and are also empowered to enforce general criminal laws of the state and enforce the motor vehicle code, drug laws, criminal sexual misconduct laws, etc. There are five classification levels in this job.

MICHIGAN (WLUC) - Wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, caregiver and friend. (click here) The women who serve in the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division are recognized by more than one of these terms, in addition to “officer.”

In 1897, Huldah Neal became the first state game warden, paving the career path forward for women. Neal, from Grand Traverse County, was the first female conservation officer in the United States, according to media reports.

Today, there are 21 women who serve at all ranks of the DNR Law Enforcement Division. Like their male counterparts, they have sworn under oath to protect the state’s natural resources, environment and the health and safety of the public through effective law enforcement and education....

When I go walking I always notice the scene around me. Day after day there may be different characteristics along the walk. Those minor changes can be a clue that climate is becoming unforgiving as it became in Hawaii.

For as long as I can remember I have always blogged that local authority and local economies are the strongest and most effective ways of people power. This is no different. 

There is rarely a town that doesn't have a local authority on the biotic content of the area. They won't be the most popular people because they will stand up to defend wildlife over the interests of petroleum companies. However, in circumstances like this minor changes in the biotic content of the area would have been invaluable to report and RECORD.

Sometimes the folks most reliable about nature will be avid gardeners or they might have the most beautiful flower beds of native plants. They might be the leadership of conservation specialists in clubs like Sierra or other local clubs.

Drought that leads to deadly wildfires can be over a decade or more of time in the making, but, in the case of Hawaii there was a change in the climate beginning last year when a drought was found to occur in November, 2022 (click here). This devastation occurred in less than a year. It is completely out of character for drought. 

The best way to realize the climate has had devastating effects on the land is observation. Local folks will clamor to defend the land if there is any indication that development or changes to the land by human beings intent on building stuff or cutting down forests will occur. Those local people know the land and know what DISRUPTION will do in the way of harming the natural world.

The bottom line is that society at a local level MUST listen to the concern. Those that love the natural world, know what they are looking at. They are bird watchers that know if trees are cut down their favorite sites and sounds will disappear besides the beauty of the trees.

People have to pay attention. When their lawns dry out they water them to bring back the beauty, but, it needs to go beyond watering cans or sprinklers. When there are dry lawns and struggling bushes and trees, one has to ask why. 

At one time in the USA there were bountiful numbers of agricultural agents at the county level. There were also conservation officers. Somehow, state and federal governments found it better to cut the budget and say they have cut taxes than realize the intense value of these professionals ESPECIALLY when Earth is experiencing a deadly climate crisis. Here again, money is more powerful than people. It shows. YES, THAT IS A JUDGEMENT OF OUR SOCIETY!

Analysis by Glenn Kessler

....Tuberville’s office (click here) says his primary residence is an Auburn house that records show is owned by his wife and son. But campaign finance reports and his signature on property documents indicate that his home is actually a $3 million, 4,000-square-foot beach house he has lived in for nearly two decades in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., located in the Florida Panhandle about 90 miles south of Dothan.

The Alabama sale in July was notarized by a person who lives in Santa Rosa Beach, indicating Tuberville was there on July 14. His wife, Suzanne Tuberville, a licensed real estate agent in Florida, has worked at a Santa Rosa Beach real estate firm since the start of this year; she does not have an Alabama real estate license.

The senator also signed in person a deed, notarized in Florida’s Walton County, where Santa Rosa Beach is located, on June 30 — during a two-week period starting June 26 that was designated in the Senate as a “State Work Period,” when lawmakers often return to their states to meet with constituents. Tuberville’s office issued a news release saying the senator met with local officials on three days of that period, June 26-28, including in Dothan, but was silent on the rest of it....

A tourist decided it would be a political bonus to drop cocaine in the White House. What next?

July 5, 2023
By Tyler Pager and Peter Hermann

Officials are investigating (click here) how a small bag of cocaine ended up in the White House on Sunday, when it was found on the ground floor of the West Wing near where visitors taking tours are instructed to leave their cellphones, according to three people familiar with the investigation.

The discovery of a powdery white substance on Sunday evening prompted a brief evacuation of the premises. Subsequent testing confirmed it was cocaine, said Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for the Secret Service.

Guglielmi said “an investigation into the cause and manner” of how the substance entered the White House is ongoing. There is no indication that the cocaine’s discovery disrupted White House operations....

It is a climate crisis.

 The Maui residents want to know why they weren’t notified. Really? 

No one expected Hawaii to have wildfires. This is ALL uncharted territory where warning signs never existed before.

I have no patience with this whining.

Where were the residents of Maui when the scientists were warning for DECADES there was a heating planet due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions? Where were you?!

Now the price has to be paid in the way of deaths, changing and charred landscape, the loss of civilization and quite possibly the loss of a beautifully benevolent planet that sustains life in the range of 98.6 F.

I have no sympathy for anyone. 

I will post Case 2 and 3 of the Untied Nations Organized Crime Network tomorrow. They are both factious checks. The ruthlessness is rather incredible. The methodology is nearly flawless as their electronic footprint is nowhere in the methodology they use. Until then.

El Nino is causing extreme clouds of water vapor to accumulate in the troposphere. It could be droughting the planet through evapotranspiration of trees and plants.

(the reference to 9:25 pm is in relation to sunset on that day)

El Nino is robbing Earth of water vapor at a very high rate.

I have an app on my phone that shows the continuous visual of Earth's water vapor. I take daily images of the planet. This one in particular my provide some insight to the problems witnessed in Hawaii today.

This image shows an El Nino that has taken water from Earth's troposphere and condensed it into a heavy cloud that crossed the Pacific. We normally think of El Nino as equatorial waters further south on the face of Earth, but, I found this rather worrisome when I viewed it. That is a very heavy, dense cloud of water vapor traveling across the Pacific. It may be responsible for some of the drought witnessed in Hawaii today.

U.S. Drought Monitor, Hawaii (click here)

By Jennifer Hassan, Anumita Kaur, Scott Dance, Marisa Iati, Ben Brasch, Kelsey Ables, Lyric Li, Timothy Bella, Shera Avi-Yonah and Justine McDaniel

The rescue efforts are continuing Thursday (click here) after the death toll from the fast-moving wildfires wreaking havoc through Hawaii increased to 36, Maui County officials said. Blazes have been raging across Maui and have also been reported on the island of Hawaii, trapping locals and visitors as strong winds linked to Hurricane Dora continue to hamper efforts by authorities to contain the flames.

Lahaina is the island immediately northwest of the big island.

The fires tore through the historic, popular vacation town of Lahaina, in Maui County, which Lt. Gov. Sylvia Luke (D) said was “decimated” and “forever changed.” President Biden declared a “major disaster” in Hawaii on Thursday and ordered federal aid to areas affected by wildfires, according to the White House....

In examining the USA Drought Monitor of Hawaii (click here) from July 11, 2023 (left image) and August 8, 2023 (right image), there is a significant difference in the island where Lahaina is located. After the El Nino cloud shown at the top of this entry, the drought on that particular island of the chain is far worse opening up the forest to extreme heat and added dryness.

Before I get on with more information regarding "Untied Nations" I wanted to share something about Earth.

Case One in the continued proof of the illegal organized crime network of UnitedNations008@outlook.com

This is the email that took place on July 20, 2023 informing me there would be a transfer of funds available to me to secure. The backstory is interesting, but, it was to obtain funds from a medical professional's own account to allow for pressing personal medical needs.

The entity at UnitedNations008@outlook.com was completely aware of what I was doing and my intentions. There was never any understanding there would be illegal actions taking place.

Not to worry, barrettelisa1@gmail.com, is only used for this purpose and not a preferred personal email. This account is already contaminated with corrupt and illegal activity and any USA intelligence service that wants to subpoena any and all of these emails should be free to do it. The USA intelligence network has my full permission.

This is the email that accompanied the information above.

This is the information sent to me on July 2, 2023 at 2:47 AM.

As of right now I have not informed the financial institution involved as to the very serious breach of their client's accounts, but, the letter is on the way.

This is exactly what is happening to the elderly Americans today.

The institution is now known to me, the name of the client is known to me, the username and password is known to me and the two accounts were unlocked at that hour to allow me to transfer these funds to a separate account set up solely for this purpose. 

To the best of my knowledge the transfer never happened. I certainly did not participate. I expected monies coming to me from the so called "United Nation's Banking Entity" in the way of a wire to secure a person's need for their own monies. 

I have no idea if these accounts were actually emptied as instructed by the UnitedNations008@outlook.com. They have the information and access, there is no reason to believe the transfer didn't happen or would not happen. 

It was jaw dropping to realize what was occurring when this transfer was to take place.

OUR AMERICAN SENIORS ARE NOT SAFE.

This is not the only evidence available to law enforcement to pursue. I will post more. But, this is exactly the entity that has organized a sophisticated network that entices American elderly into love relationships and provides then a tragedy to address so they are more than willing to open their monies to such exploitation.

I cannot stress enough, this is a highly sophisticated organized crime network that supplies these opportunities to Americans' monies to anyone that asks. They have their reasons I suppose, but, none of those reasons are legal.

What I told UnitedNations008@outlook.com was the internet connection was too poor to carry out the crime. I entered the password wrongly until the financial institution electronic access demanded the password be reset due to repeated improper information. There was no immediate access after this interaction with the Untied Nations crime network, the owner would have to reset the password in order for this exposure to occur again. It would definitely not have occurred with any electronic footprint of my own. 

I was told by the Untied Nations that the person was not a random elderly person, but, a UN General being generous to help someone in need. Regardless, this is not a method to legally submit money to anyone and should not be preferred method by any major global organization.

When I stated I was in the mouth of the dragon and it is real, I meant it. I expect my willingness to expose this immediate threat to all Americans to be dealt with.

More to come later.
