The Palestine train derailment: The Opportune Accident
The Palestine train derailment was just the opportune crisis that caught the attention of as many people as possible to the presumed detrimental consequences of private railroad ownership. Many people are accepting the media narrative that it is an accident. Indeed, the media has the role of regarding it as an accident until proven otherwise. Therein lies the problem of mainstream media. Almost anyone following the facts in the context of the politics of the day would have to beg the question of how this event hurts or helps a particular political party. On the surface, most would say that a presumed railroad industry failure would hurt Buttigieg further after the airline failure of December. This was precisely the narrative of the mainstream media as the White House tried to deflect the responsibility of the secretary of transportation in such a crisis of this magnitude. Did Buttigieg avoid the site of the crash out of fear of being exposed? Did he do so out of being insensitive and naive to his responsibilities? After all, the mainstream media has trained the majority of the population to regard elected officials as outrageously stupid, naive, and distant from real life problems. The sources of the narrative they pump out has become everyone’s new intelligence. These narratives are designed to prompt the public to disregard the more threatening inquiry that could lead to doubt about what they claim. Why would a publicly embattled transportation secretary hesitate a public appearance at the moment of crisis? If Donald Trump had not shown up with the much needed water, guaranteed Buttigieg would have shown up much later. Why the wait? If we return a little bit of credit to the intelligence of the secretary, and regard the overall political context of the situation, one in which the administration is fully committed to progress toward transforming the transportation sector into an electric one, cars, buses, and now trains, we might be able to calculate the optical benefit of the secretary showing up to blame the lack of regulation of the industry as the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) points to the Trump rollbacks of regulations three years ago. But even after 10 days of investigation, the chairman of the NTSB was forced to publicly substantiate that the accident was not caused by such rollbacks. Prior to any conclusions from the NTSB, the Biden administration along with the lion chief of the socialist democratic senators, Chuck Schumer, took full and immediate advantage of the accident to blame the Trump regulatory rollbacks, this before any actions meant to help the community cope with their immediate needs of healthcare assurances, financial assurances and bottled water distribution. If you are acutely sickened by a chemical spill, and then 2 days later by an intentionally controlled chemical explosion, logically, the first thing you want addressed is the anxiety and confusion caused by the lack of information. Even after the residents were evacuated and 2 days later returned to their homes, they weren’t updated as to the possible hazards that still needed to be investigated regarding soil and water. In stead they were given conflicting recommendations as to whether the water was safe to drink. The second thing you might want addressed is the actual response to the damage. The third thing you would want addressed is the assurance of avoiding long term adverse health effects and financial consequences. What did they get? They got assurances about the air safety which was well known by the industry leaders to be safe a week later without the need to monitor. No focus was directed at indoor furniture or the the soil in the surrounding neighborhood. The mayor had to claim that it was really a long term process of monitoring the soil and water.
Norfolk Southern: A Formidable Example To The Rest Of The Industry
As hearings lead to fines and lawsuits, and eventually extremely costly regulations, the rest of the industry will pass on the costs to the consumer and cause yet another wave of inflation, all this as if the whole industry was as accident prone as Norfolk Southern. Indeed only 1% of train derailments are known to be caused by wheels overheating. Imagine how much it would cost the railroad companies to have to update all their trains no matter how old just for this regulation much less the rest of the package of regulations they will be handed by this Railway Safety Act. In many cases it already costs more to ride the train than to fly. The Democrats will use this one derailment to begin to increase the cost of running a railroad to the point of requiring significant taxpayer support. At that point, this administration will lay the groundwork for electric rails all designed to control fares for different people and track passengers individually. Some will travel free while others will pay exorbitant fares all at the discretion of unelected federal officials. That cost will remain astronomical and increase everyone’s taxes a lot regardless of whether you ever step foot onto a train. This will be another significant cause of the further impoverishment of the people. They will have swayed public opinion, especially across the northeast and mid northwest, to support replacing diesel powered trains with electric powered ones. The Democrat Green New Deal utopian motive behind the desperate attempt to run the private railroads out of business is to economically force a significant sector of our population to travel on electric trains as opposed to carbon powered planes.
But wait! One derailment was not enough. There had to be 2 more derailments involving Norfolk Southern, one exactly a month later on March 5th just 200 miles form the first one in the same state of Ohio! The other, in Alabama on March 9th just hours before the CEO was to testify before Congress. What are the chances of the same railroad company experiencing this many train derailments all within about a month? According to the Bureau Of Train Statistics, there were 1,087 derailments in 2021, including the low speed fender benders that occur mostly in the train yards, roughly about 3 per day. About 10 to 20 per year involve hazardous material releases. Now, out of 700 railroads in the US, what are the chances that one company would have a major hazmat derailment followed by 2 other significant derailments in one month? A simple probability arrived at by 7th grade math would inform us that 1/700 railroads x x 1.67 hazmat derailments per/91 derailments per month = 0.0000262 or 1 out of 262 thousand. The chances of having another non-hazmat derailment within that month is 0.0000262 x 91 derailments/700 railroads = 0.00000341 or 1 out of 3.41 million. Now multiply times the probability that they occur in the same state. Undoubtedly you get the idea. It becomes logical to wonder whether these “accidents” were accidental at all. Many people are still not aware of how much money and resources the global elites are able to pour into a climate change opportunity. We may never know. The coincidental sequence of events and the democrat’s actions and inactions tell the story. A major railroad operating through one of the most definitive Trump supporting red states derails causing a major hazardous chemical release making national and international headlines just prior to CPAC in Washington DC is the quintessential gift to the democratic party that is desperate to substitute diesel railroads with electric ones. They are also out to increase the price of plastic, vinyl chloride being a basic chemical used its manufacture. Norfolk Southern would be the choicest railroad to make an example of to the rest of the industry. Coincidentally, it was audited by the SEC just months ago which determined that they were at risk for a major derailment soon! It may have been obvious to realize that the combination of the recent contract with the railroad workers union for more paid leave, newly imposed expensive regulations, and rising insurance costs due to these costly derailments, not to mention the civil lawsuits, would drive this company bankrupt, unless it caved to allowing the feds to usher in the transition to electric rail.
The United States has the largest freight rail system in the world, impacting two thirds of the national economy. Forcing railroad companies to install expensive equipment on their trains and rails all at the same time will definitely make a similar impact on our economy as does raising the price of gas. Forcing our rail industry to go electric will contribute just as much to rising inflation, and not make a dent in actual railway safety. It will only serve to transfer control over management and service to the federal government which is desperate for this kind of power and control.
The Unrecognized Political Motive
Ohio and towns like East Palestine has been a manufacturing blue collar champion with an overwhelming republican constituency, a state which has been known to set the political tone for presidential elections for decades. To establish a private company as prioritizing profits and lobbying over people and safety, at the same time making the impression that government regulation is the real answer for their protection, brings the prospect of flipping that constituency blue. If conservatives in East Palestine and towns like it are convinced that more regulation is the answer, it will truly catch wind across the country. On the other hand, I tend to regard the blue collar workers in the US as quite politically astute and intelligent enough to understand the selfish political motives of the current administration. Just as they wouldn’t want their own employers overburdened with regulatory costs that don’t improve the value of the company nor the value of its product or service, they will not appreciate this administration using their crisis to choke off the entire rail industry. Rather than to apply their increased profits, largely from a growing online purchasing public, toward real safety and efficiency, like adding newer freight cars to their fleet, they will have to retrofit old cars with new brakes. Rather than to invest in making tracks safer, they will have to install more sensors on existing tracks, which have nothing to do with the vast majority of derailments. I give the people of Ohio plenty of credit to understand how their political response will affect the rest of the country and care more about how to help a backbone industry to progress safely and economically so as to keep our standard of living from taking a nose dive.
If you think for one minute that the Democrat machine, with billions, possibly trillions of dollars at stake, was going to allow their ultimate candidate for president go genuinely spontaneous, wholeheartedly truthful, unrehearsed and unscripted, into a make it or break it presidential debate, you live in an immature, inexperienced, and woefully uninformed, emotionally influenced, and dangerously unrealistic world! Apparently, those responsible for the preparation of former president Donald Trump did!
This debate demonstrated the fundamental weakness of a tremendously fractured and disorganized republican party. A layman such as myself realizes that when your adversary has everything to gain even though you feel you may have not as much to lose, common sense directs you to prepare in such a way as to not allow them to gain a single advantage. Your preparation consists of preparing an offense that succeeds against your adversary’s strongest possible defense. That demands an understanding of the adversary’s capabilities, of their tactics when confronted, and of the source of their confidence.
Kamala Harris has made herself a known quantity throughout her legal and political career. She will veryeffectively say and do whatever she has to in order to achieve her most coveted goals. ‘Reproductive rights’ is her ticket to establishing power over the man that defends the biblical and traditional role of the family. She is out to extinguish his traditional role in the family, his traditional character valuations, and even his motivation to support his family and provide a sanctuary, the family home, the traditional house. This is what makes Kamala the most formidable presidential candidate for the Democratic machine. She is uniquely willing to follow a script that is so full of lies and deceit that only the most radical feminist, Marxist, of despotic women of the Democratic machine would agree to follow.
If Kamala was this capable on her own, we most certainly would have heard from her much more often as vice president, given the inability of the president himself. Her debate performance was Kamala. She prosecuted the mythical misdeeds of Donald Trump with a convincing drama of a seasoned prosecutor. The most important point of this post is that the tactics and the script comes from a source much more capable and powerful than she, and that is the source of her confidence. Make no mistake, the tactics in the script do have a signature, of one who wants to make a hero of the worker who is willing to give up his or her ability to compete in the free market according to their skills, their hard earned accomplishments, their demonstrated talents, and their traditional character values. This is the signature of one who intentionally proclaims every conservative value phrase and intends to use it to accomplish the exact opposite of its original meaning. This is what society commonly refers to as a snake. This is the signature of one who is despotically and successfully running the private economy of the United States to the ground in order to gain the economic cooperation of the young people into becoming dependent on government assistance through every economic milestone, inculcating in them a Marxist system of values that subjugates their individual contributions to that of society, stealing their personal motivation to compete in the marketplace of ideas and innovation. He has successfully created a sustained economic inflation in order to give the young people little choice but to accept the government assistance and the radical values it espouses for spending the money they could have earned on their own!
It is no accident that every negative claim thrown at former President Trump and his constituency is exactly what their own machine has intentionally implemented against them. They have intentionally lied about his words and his actions, and his affiliations. They promote these lies through the media as propaganda designed to justify their actions against him, as in the Jan. 6th speech, and as in the speech he gave regarding the Charlottesville, VA violent protest. They lie about his intentions as President, that he will act as a dictator forcing people to live against their values and beliefs when, in fact, they are planning to overturn Roe vs Wade to force the entire country to make late term nonthreatening abortions available everywhere by paying for it. They are intentionally allowing states to allow illegal immigrants to register to vote in the upcoming election. They are planning, by executive fiat, to allow illegal migrants to become full fledged citizens without assimilating and swearing to uphold and defend the US Constitution as the document we have traditionally recognized to limit the power of the federal government.
Harris was jettisoned with a script of offenses that placed the former president on the defensive, and a list of conservative key value phrases that the script writer intended to deceive the most naïve of our young people. How many of our young people understand the difference between Harriss’s use of the word ‘opportunity’ when she claims to provide an ‘opportunity economy’ and what opportunity really refers to in economics. The script writer knows that the naïve conservative might confuse one with the other. Her idea of opportunity economics is one in which those with a certain level of income get a certain amount of government grants and credits to afford the lifestyle that those who earn a higher level of income do. Those who earn a higher level of income will be taxed more in order for the government to afford those grants and credits. This will force small business owners to shrink their workforce and become hostage to the government’s prescribed values such as DEI and ESG in order to be granted the money to hire a prescribed workforce, one certainly not based on the business owner’s valuation of merit. Opportunity in economics means the freedom to choose a better way to invest your own money, not the government’s. The crucial difference is that opportunity is what results from a competitive free market, the freedom to choose a better product, a better job, a better private investment strategy, etc.
The idea of any administration that claims to “love small business” yet is out to load up on disincentives to invest in the private market and shrink the discretionary income of the middle class is actually intending to control business opportunity across the board by using taxpayer money to help those who align with the administration’s values, providing the space, the building, the utilities, etc… to learn how to manage a small business with those values. This, of course, is to pose an unfair advantage to the existing private small businesses that rely on their customer’s discretionary income.
Harris’s claim to restore law and order is not intended to support and encourage the prosecution of violent crime but rather to radically alter the profile of metropolitan police departments such that they adopt measures to negotiate with criminals in order to provide them free financial support after they’ve committed their crimes. Violent criminals will be apprehended only to be rewarded with food, housing, healthcare, and mental health, at taxpayer’s expense, for the promise of not re-committing their crimes. They will push the narrative that the crimes are committed because of their disenfranchisement in society, not because of deeply engrained mental deficits requiring isolation from society at large, an underground supply of illegal weapons, and the emotional support and influence from the gang lifestyle. The Biden administration has done everything to discourage just those police officers who give their all to protect the innocent, those who actually expect the risk they took to apprehend those violent criminals to be worthy of just prosecution. Not surprisingly, she will encourage and support the prosecution of those who dare to expose and interfere with this outrageous plan. She will impose federally mandated policing protocols and prosecute any that violate those protocols.
This is all according to Obama’s original intention to transform policing across the country by edict and FBI intervention, one department at a time. As some of the more socialist European countries adopt this policing style, this is well intentioned to become a globalist policing style to be eventually imposed upon all the nations. The underlying belief is that society must bare the cost of this great transformation.
This could only work if we could transform murderers into productive citizens that lose their threat to society. The inconvenient truth is that we cannot! A complete understanding of human nature is that within any society, there will always be individuals who develop such an intensity of hatred, fear, and resentment that render them simply unable to imagine a manner of dealing with life except to eliminate the people who they believe to be the cause. as of today, no amount of human intervention has been shown to guarantee that they will not become a repeat offender. The discussion of why that is so is so delicate and controversial that we have not been able to execute it successfully so far.
Nevertheless, let me give this a shot. We can all agree that humans are not designed to be morally perfect. We may all agree that we did not design our own DNA as humans. Therefore, we have not been endowed with the chemistry that leads us to moral perfection but we have been allowed with a chemistry that allows us to choose our morality if we choose to choose it. Humans are the only creatures that are not inherently good because of this higher ability to choose. Raising children affirms our understanding of this freedom of choice as we register their first “no” at the terrible age of two. We see that passively it is much easier to disobey, to defy authority, to give in to temptation to do the wrong thing than it is to do the right thing. Without a positive influence, without meaningful and supportive parental relationships, it becomes much more difficult to choose the more disciplined behavior. So far, most of us can agree on these things. Upon what basis do we as humans choose our behavior? We make these choices upon the sum total of beliefs we have accumulated throughout our life experience. We decide to trust the brakes of a vehicle based on the belief that they are functional. Otherwise we would test them before each trip. We believe the elevator will not drop to the ground based on a belief that it has been working until now and that nothing has happened in between to render it dangerous. We also believe these things will work based on an assumed frequency of failure. So, our beliefs are based on life experience and assumptions. We choose our risks in life based on these assumptions.
Some people believe that a human society can progress morally solely upon its own resources. They believe that most humans inherently choose to do the right thing. They also believe that violent criminals can be rehabilitated solely by societal resources. Yet, today we see that violent crime is exploding amongst the adolescent and young adult population around the world. Life experience should inform us that left to themselves, their belief systems and their assumptions will fail them.
Logically, whenever anything that we rely on is not guaranteed to stay on track, we place guard rails and/or a sensing mechanism that is designed to keep it on track. By historical experience, we, as a human society, were not designed to stay on track reliably. Hence, religion! Humans have always been known to require an imposed belief system designed to keep us on track. As any government decides to absolutely control societal behavior it naturally seeks to neutralize whatever prior belief system supersedes it. A dangerous number of our American population does not agree or take it seriously enough! Yet they have no clue as to how serious a challenge it is to live in a society where government imposes a belief system contrary to their own. The general Christian belief is that our top loyalty is to our God and by His authority we are to respect legitimate, lawful civic authority which does not threaten the ability to live by His values and commands. Any government which seeks to control the individual’s behavior beyond the limits of the US Constitution will threaten this religious freedom. Just as the Jewish people in Germany could not wholeheartedly endorse Hitler’s communism, neither can the Christians in the US endorse socialism. Yet, this is exactly what is being exercised by this present administration, in full awareness of their assault on religious freedom!
American law is based upon the Constitution which prioritizes protecting the individual citizen from being controlled by government except where it infringes upon the Constitutional rights of other individual citizens. American law, rather, is designed to economically incentivize individuals to respect lawful authority and pursue happiness by competing economically. The protection of individual economic freedom is one of the cornerstones of the US Constitution, having resulted in the opportunity that traditional legal immigrants have risked everything to come here for from one generation to the next. It had a recognized inherent value around the world. The globalists are desperately out to extinguish this value in our society by replacing it with an emotional entitlement mentality that is supported socially. Kamala Harris fulfils her role when she repeats and promotes their idea of “fair share”. They have successfully enshrined pure envy as a moral value by having this administration repeating the phrase “fair share” to mean that the average large business characteristically does not pay the taxes the government deserves. It is also used to mean the equal distribution of equity in all its forms regardless of merit. In the United States, the private corporation’s “fair share” of tax burden is the amount that does not unreasonably impinge on corporation’s ability to compete within its industry in the US and the US industry to compete around the world. This administration, in following the globalist agenda seeks desperately to violate this important principle. Until the free market is extinguished, corporate profit is what determines our standard of living and even our ability to defend our sovereignty as a nation! It is unconstitutional to artificially cap the very means of our economic freedom. “Fair share” also means the income that is legitimately, legally earned according to individual merit, not what your highest paid counterpart at work gets paid.
Our young people are trading the value of economic freedom in the way of opportunity for government established entitlement. They are, in the same vein, trading the only belief system in the world that protects them against a tyrannical government for that belief system that will hold them as economic slaves to the global elites, having less and less of their income to save and spend on their own, having less choice of what to eat, where to live and in what kind of abode, where to work and in what capacity. Today, being unaware and unappreciative of the ultimate sacrifices of generations past as they open their refrigerators to choose what to eat and choose where to apply for work upon completion of the degree they chose to pursue, they are taking all these freedoms for granted. Kamala Harris, by introducing price controls and capping corporate profit across our industries, will bring the free market to a grinding halt, creating unemployment largely among the most skilled and experienced workers in every industry. This will bring about the greatest impoverishment of the middle class and subsequently the entire country. The shock amongst our young people that it was upon their own permission that all this transpired will come too late. Only then will they realize that they used their hard won freedoms to permanently remove them.
This is all by design. The debate was merely an opportunity to sell the fake economics as “opportunity economics”, where in reality, individuals that favor the administration will be given large amounts of government assistance to start and run small businesses and be regulated according to DEI and ESG. This money will undoubtedly come from the increased corporate income tax, especially from those entities that refuse to abide by DEI and ESG. Kamalanomics is Bidenomics on steroids, which is the intended hastening of Obamanomics! Obama himself warned the public in a speech where he stated that those companies that resisted his values were going to have a tougher time. Through the deception of narratives, the global elitists, through Barak Obama are successfully bringing the US economy into a position of becoming more and more dependent on other nations for the support of its own. An overwhelming dependence on other economies inevitably erodes national sovereignty as with the member nations of the European Union. As Germany had exhausted its ability to underwrite the socialist economies of Greece and Spain, a globalized interdependence of national economies, the stated goal of the UN Agenda 30 which was signed by Obama, is destined to impoverish the world by impeding each nation’s ability to create wealth.
The values of economic and religious freedom authorized by our Constitution come from the strong influence of the biblical beliefs of the founders. The reason that “social conservatives” are still passionately adamant about defending these freedoms is that history has demonstrated their absolute success in the face of the abject failure of socialism and communism. I also believe that these values succeed because God allows them to.
There is only one solution: the only solution that has ever worked in the United States. To believe that those of us that understand the necessity of preventing this transformation to socialism through intentional and despotic deception can be achieved by ourselves is to dispel the reality that the success of establishing and defending freedom in this country has never been accomplished without fervent prayer, and a total resolve to faithfully rely on Christ to lead our steps and direct our communication, to give us the moral courage to do the right thing and stand for Him while at the same time defending our Constitution! There is an abundance of incontrovertible evidence of this in the historical personal letters of our founders and of our veterans in the face of every challenge to our individual freedom and national sovereignty.
A “self-contained” site like Greensboro will serve to normalize a new form of economic slavery, whereby the minors will become accustomed to to being told what to think and what to believe, and then a few years later, where and in what capacity, and under what conditions they are to work as adults.
They are globalizing the unaccompanied migrant minors in local communities that are clueless and sending you the bill, a huge bill, for housing, education, and healthcare!
This major social engineering project to create Democrat socialist voters is being performed on your dime. According to HHS secretary Becerra there were about 120,000 unaccompanied migrant children that crossed the border in 2021 and a similar number in 2022. Of those children, the New York times reported that there are 85,000 that HHS has lost contact with after leaving them with family members or other adult sponsors. In the summer of 2022 there were more than 9,000 such children in HHS facilities across the country. Now, as soon as the unaccompanied migrant children are vetted by DHS at the border, they are being flown and bused to remote locations where they will be housed, educated, and receive healthcare while waiting to be placed with family members or non-family sponsors. This is illegally being done without consulting congress for the authorization of taxpayer funds and purposefully leaving the surrounding residential communities in the dark. These are the young people that will be indoctrinated to be foremost loyal to the leadership of the party and fashion their values accordingly just to have the permission to partake in American society. They will compromise their freedom for a false sense of security in merely belonging to the group. They will be taught that the conservative is an outdated selfish, dangerous individual that wants to deny them their livelihood and their citizenship, and to leave them physically unprotected. They will be groomed to be able to do Green New Deal infrastructure jobs, like installing auto charging stations, laying foundation for new electric rail, building windmills, and installing solar panels — all on your dime!
The young migrants are expected to desire a ‘benevolent dictator’ that allows them just enough living comfort to demand complete loyalty. They will also be expected to vote for the restriction of individual rights, religious freedom, and property rights.
The site in Greensboro, NC is a prime example. The Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement has plans to house up to 800 unaccompanied migrant minors, ages 13 to 17, in a ‘repurposed boarding school’. According to the Washington Examiner, this site comes with an $18 million athletic center complete with rock climbing walls, basketball courts and an 8 lane Olympic pool, 16 dormitory buildings accommodating 800 beds, and 35 apartments for staff. The site is named Greensboro Piedmont Academy, but the program is called Greensboro Global Academy. According to greensboroglobalacademy.org the migrant children are to be provided instruction in Science, Social Studies, Reading, Writing, Mathematics, and English as a second language, yet they also state that culture and identity will “exist as the heart of GGA’s curriculum”, along with the description that the students “will connect with who they are while gaining an understanding of the society they are entering.”. The children are to be provided the widest array of child services, including “mental and medical health services, case management, translation services, legal services, and recreational facilities.” They will also get “trauma informed care” through a contracted agency, Deployed Services, involving group sessions and activities and individualized care. As of this year, it will be the largest “influx care facility”, as labeled by DHS, in the country, that we know of. Many children exiting these facilities wind up illegally working dangerous adult jobs in factories, meat plants, and construction sites. HHS, before having signed a 5 year, $50 million contract with the American Hebrew Academy in Greensboro in July 2022, had been hiding this plan from congress. In a congressional hearing in May 2021, after the plans had already been made, HHS secretary Becerra flatly denied that there were plans to house the children in North Carolina. Just 2 weeks ago Mayorkas flat out denied that the migrants were being detained in North Carolina while being questioned under oath by Texas senator Josh Hawley. Yet here we are in July 2023 as the local news station, WFMY, reports that the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement plans for it to be open for students in August of this year. It had been undergoing site preparation involving several contractors for over a year, including hiring of teachers and other service providers. Just 2 days ago, former Greensboro congressman and Republican Study Committee chairman Mark Walker expressed his concern that this site that was only supposed to house children for 30 days is to be called an academy. He expressed that HHS is not divulging enough information to congress about the specific nature of the facility and that the residents across the street were not informed of the influx of that many migrant children about to occur. Greensboro mayor Nancy Vaughan welcomed this project and claimed it would bring 800 jobs, preferably Spanish speaking employees. The mayor claimed that it would not drain local resources as the site would be “self-contained”. DHS tells us that they will be united with adult family or other vetted sponsors after an undetermined brief period. DHS continues to dodge questions about who these sponsors are. Ultimately the case will be made for their parents and siblings to be allowed to join them. Between February 2021 and March 2021 18,000 unaccompanied minors came through the southern border, overwhelming the existing “influx Care Facilities”. There had to have been formal communications with these families prior to their children’s journey as to the ultimate goal of reunification in the US and eventual legal citizenship.
A “self-contained” site like Greensboro will serve to normalize a new form of economic slavery, whereby the minors will become accustomed to to being told what to think and what to believe, and then a few years later, where and in what capacity, and under what conditions they are to work as adults. As legal immigrants, these children would be immersed in normal social environments and beginning to assimilate into their surrounding culture. The Biden administration de-prioritizes the necessity of this natural socialization for an extremely controlled one. Even home schoolers associate with other neighborhood children and those within the scope of their regular curricular and extracurricular activities. Once outside of government control, these children will have a much harder time assimilating into their surrounding culture, promoting all the mental health issues of public school children.
This age cohort is ripe for desiring a paternalistic authority, for rebelling against traditional family values, and for having an unrealistic sense of altruism. In the absence of their parents’ influence for traditional values, they will be ripe for extreme socialist indoctrination. According to their website, “Literacy, life skills, and critical thinking will exist at the core of the learner’s experience. By providing a positive educational experience, we will ultimately raise the learner’s understanding of humanity,”. These terms are subjective and vague enough to include an indoctrination to a radical anti-biblical, anti-American global socialism. Even before the children have arrived, all 8 reviews on indeed.com rate their employment poorly, describing a dictatorial, unproductive work environment. After being taught a skewed version of world and American history, they will internalize a value of American citizenship that reinterprets the US Constitution or omits it altogether from the pledge for US citizenship. They will be taught the unrealistic utopian benefits of public ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange. This will justify why they are being given little choice as to what to learn, what careers and jobs are available to them, and the entire authoritarian control of their work and social environment. As a result of being censored from the reality of the socialist failed economic state demonstrated to the world through the past decades, such as with the Soviet Union, China, most of Eastern Europe, Greece, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico, and others, they will not recognize socialism as a recipe for inevitable national impoverishment, rather they will blame the capitalism of the US. They will be completely clueless about the value of individual freedom, free enterprise, and religious liberty as a necessity for world and national economic progress. The most dangerous goal of this indoctrination is to result the highest loyalty to global citizenship above God, family and national sovereignty.
Today is July 4th, 2023. As I complete this writing in the peace and comfort of my home office, I cannot help but to think about the decisions that had to be made in order to even make the freedom from an emboldened and inhumane governmental tyranny. I can’t help but think about how unified the American colonists and their leadership was. By proof of documents and letters that still exist in the national archives, it is a fact that they decided to put their lives on the line against many odds, and with a common strength in their faith in God, to declare our freedom. This leadership was a well educated and civilized group of men that very well knew the evil of unlimited governmental power. The history of our country is logical proof enough that God blessed that decision a thousand times over and continues to bless it!
Today, our call is not to go to war with our overpowered federal government but to take away their fuel. Many of us as fathers full well understand that the actual battle is for our children’s hearts and minds. Yet, a smaller number of us realize that we cannot compete against a powerful indoctrination of our children against the moral authority of their parents, against the basic biblical beliefs of their families, and against the longstanding interpretation of the Constitution. We cannot compete against an indoctrination that denies the reality of human nature, of economics, of world history, and of God. This kind of indoctrination leaves our children with hollow hearts, numb to their souls, with no sense of conscience, with no curiosity to learn, with no pride in work, and with no understanding of or value for their own uniqueness as individuals.
Today, the greatest threat to our freedom is this government’s indoctrination of our children and our lack of faith in God to help us expose and put an end to this across this tremendously blessed nation. The decision must be made once and for all in a civilized and unified manner for the sake of our children and our grand children: NOT ONE MORE DAY!
You are those special men whose loving sacrifice and invaluable leadership have paid for generations of genuine freedom, freedom that too many in our country have taken for granted, freedom that begs to be defended by every generation, even with the cost of our lives when necessary. We have allowed too many of our children’s minds and hearts to be stolen from the awareness of God’s love for our country and the understanding, and appreciation of the depth of your love for our Lord and for all of us.
Those of us who truly appreciate your sacrifice are fighting an adversary which threatens our freedom with the same evil as you have confronted on the battlefield. Oh had you still been alive today, you would recognize it with the same alarm and sobriety, motivated into action with the same resolve and with the same love for us and our children. You would recognize that this is a global beast feasting on the United States and its Constitution for the sake of its evil dominion of the world!
In your honor, more and more of us are beginning to fight with our public voices, in the courts, in congress, in our workplaces, in the schools, and in our publications. We fight with our private voices at the dinner table, in our churches, and especially in our prayer! I pray that this voice be just one of millions more to come and that God blesses each one!
In hindsight, it is most plausible that the collapse of SVB and crypto was a stealth execution by bank executives and federal reserve bank regulators for the purpose of gaining enough control over the banking system to implement Biden’s new socialist home loan rules that rewards bad credit as it punishes good credit, depreciate crypto out of the market, render banks much more dependent on the federal reserve for their solvency. Otherwise you believe that well capable financial experts all tripped over the same financial boulder simultaneously.
The banks in aggregate according to the FDIC on March 12th were holding on to $620 billion of unrealized losses in old treasury bonds. Not a week after the FDIC opened their federal discount window, the “Term Bank Funding Program”, did the Federal Home Loan Bank blow up from handling $3 billion of last resort bank loans to $304 billion. This, as a result of banks across the country transferring high risk mortgage loans to this 11 bank system. This one week operation places many more banks across the country completely dependent on the federal government for their solvency, and in turn, obligated to follow whatever rules the Biden administration controls the management of private credit through the federal reserve.
Millennials define the direction of the US economy in their buying, saving, and investing decisions. Investopedia cites that ” More millennials are renters than homeowners by far. Additionally, 18% of millennial renters say they plan to rent forever. That’s the highest percentage of any generation.”. They go on to describe that “At age 30, 42% of millennials own homes, compared with 48% of Gen Xers and 51% of baby boomers when they were 30.”.
The Silicon Valley Bank collapse caused a period of lending tightening as National Association of Home Builders chief economist Robert Dietz observed that the tightening lending environment likely to emerge in the aftermath of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse is a concern for private firms relying on capital from regional and community banks.
As an American public we feel like we have the most secure banking system in the world. A bank may make mistakes on individual accounts, personal or business, we have been pretty confident that when we want to withdraw our cash, it will be available according to industry rules and regulations. There we were driving along in our usual financial cruise. Then it happened. A huge semi crashed into a telephone pole without seemingly making any attempt to swerve or brake! Then, a collection of other somewhat smaller semis crashed into it, also without seemingly hitting the brakes. Now, you would think these highly experienced drivers and their copilots would have taken notice and at least tried to avoid the accident altogether. Traffic comes to a halt and after a few people close enough to the situation call 911, they are told to hang on and help is on the way, and that everyone will be able to pass through in a short while. On the news the media tell us what they want us to hear and see while everything is under investigation.
There were many bright, sunny days at Silicon Valley Bank as the CEO 30 years, Greg Becker, accumulated a powerful social life involving venture capital firm owners and their start up teams. Along the way, SVB went on to accumulate large deposits and tried to balance off that liability with mostly held to maturity treasury bonds. By January 2019, The bank held assets of $70 billion and was warned by the fed that it was not a large enough bank to hold that level of assets. By the end of 2021, the Fed warned the bank that it was not prepared to insure $114 billion of assets in deposits and investment loans. In September, the federal reserve signaled that interest rates were about to rise to slow inflation created by the pandemic spending bills and the printing of dollars. As the federal funds rate increased, SVB went on to accumulate even more assets. The SEC handed SVB 6 citations involving liquidity stress testing, contingency funding,and liquidity risk management. By the end of 2022, SVB had gone on to accumulate assets totaling $209 billion! The wild part of this is that the bank was never able to insure against rising interest rates with more resilient investments, yet continued to accumulate larger and larger deposits as the bonds lost value. They were warned several times by the regulators and other credible parties. No one beside the bank officers, the regulators, and the auditors knew of the obvious growing instability of the bank.
The Explanation Of The Accident
We were told that the brakes on the trucks had worn over time, while at the same time, the cargo had grown. The Treasury bonds had lost their value over the period of rapid inflation over the last few years. There was no explanation of why the brakes were not serviced or replaced. There was no explanation of how experienced drivers could drive with ever increasing over limit loads with wearing brakes. After the crash, every responsible party took the public criticism silently. The Federal Reserve, the bank supervisors and executives, and the SEC all took public criticism without offering any kind of defense.
Well Experienced Drivers and Crew Accelerate Through Red Light
We didn’t know that SVB went through a number of yellow and red lights without slowing down-ON PURPOSE. In January of 2019 the FDIC warned SVB that their assets of $70 billion were too high for that size bank, Then again in December of 2020, they were given a stronger warning for assets of $114 billion. In September of 2021, the Fed signaled that interest rates were soon to rise. Having the lion share of bank equity wrapped up in treasury bonds which were purchased when interest rates were zero, which depreciate as interest rates rise, would be a sufficient warning to any bank risk management officer. Those were the yellow lights.
The FDIC then, in November 2021, the FDIC issued 6 citations related to liquidity stress testing, contingency funding, liquidity risk management. Any bank the size of SVB is required to conduct quarterly liquidity tests. The brake test failed. By this time everyone knew that the bank was not supporting their assets. After all this, the bank was not fined, the officers were not penalized in any form, and they continued to turn a blind eye toward their balance sheet. Instead, they continued to accept more and more assets. They coasted through this red light as the police stood down. Around March 1st 2023, Greg Becker received a phone call from Moody’s warning him that the T bonds were approaching the level of junk bonds.
The chief risk officer, the one most responsible for the status of the brake system, Laura Izruieta, stepped down in April 2022, and then left the bank in October with $7.1 million. She was well experienced in corporate risk management, having worked at Freddie Mac as a program director for mortgage purchasing in the early 90s, working her way up to senior vice president of Capital One, leading a risk management team that built and maintained corporate risk governance structure, risk management tools and methodologies from 2006 to 2012, then executive vice president for the next 3 years, joining Silicon Valley Bank in 2016 as Chief Risk Officer. SVB had no chief risk officer until January of 2023, when they hired Kim Olson, who has 30 yrs experience in risk management, worked at Federal Reserve Bank of New York, received her bachelor’s at Santa Clara University, and her masters at Harvard. The risk committee, made up of mostly venture capital CEOs, had no one to report to in the interim. Some on the risk committee were also on the board of SVB at the same time. The committee was very heavy on the venture capital side and light on the risk side. One member was also the chairwoman of the board, while another was CEO of Benhamou Global Ventures, while another was a former president of a venture capital firm, another was co founder of a venture capital firm, yet another was a former US treasury under secretary. All 5 board members were on the ‘risk’ committee! Meanwhile, Greg Becker continued to step on the gas, increasing the bank’s assets toward $200 billion while taking loans of up to $15 billion from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Fransisco by the end of December 2022.
The Police knew of the impending crash and not only watched, but supervised it!
The Federal Reserve and the SEC knew the bank was loading up with venture capital assets and that it was going to crash. The Federal Reserve Bank of San Fransisco sent 20 bank examiners in the second half of 2021 to SVB. Meanwhile, Greg Becker, the CEO of SVB was a director of the SF Federal Reserve! They would have nothing to say publicly until the bank announced its failure on March 10th. Back in November of 2022, there was a secret meeting of the FDIC dedicated to finding ways to hide the impending crash from the public to prevent a run on the banks in general. Moody’s even gave the CEO a phone call on March 1st to warn him that the treasury notes are approaching the level of junk bonds. They were headed for a $20 billion loss. The bank auditor, KPMG, a global woke corporation that also audited First Republic Bank and Signature Bank which were also seized by the FDIC, made no comment or report of the obvious detrimental condition of the bank when it gave SVB a clean bill of health on February 24th, and also gave Signature Bank a clean bill of health 11 days before it was seized by the Feds.
Trucks crash, cargo salvaged, traffic passes through
On March 7th, Greg Becker, CEO of Silicon Valley Bank met with investors and wall street analysts at the Palace hotel in San Fransisco and presented a rosy, strong financial impression of the tech industry and his bank. Just one day later, the CEO of Silicon Valley Bank, Greg Becker announced that his bank has a $1.8 billion loss with a plan to raise $2.25 billion in fresh capital Upon an urging by Goldman Sachs to by shares of SVB and a warning from co founder of SVB Peter Thiel, on Thursday, March 9th, SVB depositors withdrew $42 billion in a single day. On Friday, March 10th, the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation handed over Silicon Valley Bank to the FDIC. Like clockwork, Biden and the Federal Reserve assured the depositors on the day it was closed that their money was secure and would be available that following Monday, when the FDIC created the SVB Bridge Bank for that purpose. They then created the National Bank of Santa Clara to receive SVB’s insured assets of $30 billion. The plan all along was to transfer the uninsured assets to First Citizen’s of Raleigh, NC amounting to $60 billion with a deal for the FDIC to absorb 50% of the losses over $5 billion. In essence the crashed truck’s cargo gets placed on a federally appointed truck in order to roll it on through. The other two trucks, Signature Bank of San Fransisco, and First Republic Bank of New York, a heavy crypto lender, got the same treatment. A third truck, the UK SVB was closed on March 12th and bought whole by HSBC the next day. That bank’s financial risk manager was Jay Ersapah, well known champion of the LBGTQ+ community in Europe and the US, born and schooled in England, and who worked at Deloitte and Barclays. All other US banks were immediately allowed to go to the Federal Home Loan Bank to prop up their assets also, allowing the rest of the traffic to pass through unimpeded, for the moment. By the end of the following week the Federal Home Loan Bank absorbed $304 billion from banks across the country.
Silvergate Bank of La Jolla, California, a crypto heavy weight, also crashed in March after a $1 billion loss in the 4th quarter of 2022. Different from SVB and First Republic, Silvergate was able to return all deposits and enter into complete liquidation without an internal bail out from the FDIC. It received staunch criticism from democrat senators on the house finance and banking committee, who called for tighter regulation of the crypto market.
CEO Greg Becker, was reported to be ousted from the bank for ‘mismanagement’ and allowed to travel back to his luxurious town home in Maui with $3.6 million worth of SVB shares he cashed out just previous to the crash. He is reported to have flown first class, then driven by limo to his residence.
The Fed appointed a new CEO, Tim Mayapoulos, to their bridge bank and retained all other employees, giving them a retention perk of 45 days of time and a half pay. Tim Mayapoulos, a financial tech investor, worked at major banks previously such as Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse First Boston and Donaldson, Bank of America, including CEO and president of Fannie Mae, 2012-2018, led Blend Labs to leading market position in mortgage and consumer banking technology
The 5 remaining board membersare now charged with brainstorming what to do with the remaining $3 billion in assets.
The Federal Reserve knew well in advance of this impending crisis as detailed in their nonpublic November 2022 meeting of the Systemic Resolution Advisory Committee(SRAC). Well experienced bank officers allowed the bank to accumulate an outrageous amount of uninsured deposits and securities. The bank examiners went through the motions, doing obviously insufficient stress testing and ignoring the impossible liquidity tests. SVB’s balance sheet di not alert the auditor, KPMG. Nor did the First Republic Bank’s balance sheet bother that same auditor. Why would all these experienced officers and regulators risk their careers to allow all those tech startups to cruise on through? Why did so many choose to use this same bank? How on earth could all these professionals assume that the Feds fund rate would remain at or near zero? Where did all that seed money come from all of a sudden?
Some of the winners are all well known: the venture capital companies and their startups. To be able to explain this level of despotism you would have to examine what these winners are trying to start up. It can be fairly safe to say that they are starting up woke corporate cultures the likes that has not yet been seen! How many of these startups are green New Deal startups, involving the design of electric substitutes of everything gas powered? Electric Construction and landscape handhelds, electric rail, electric delivery systems, and EV charging systems are only a part of the scope of these startups. How many have ties to China? The Biden administration would not be happier if the tech startup sector became totally reliant and controlled by the feds.
Major sources of cryptocurrency went insolvent, including First Republic in New York and Silvergate Bank of La Jolla, California. At the time of this writing, the federal reserve just launched a pilot digital currency program in banks.
Who pays for the damage?
Biden and the Fed emphasized that this did not constitute a taxpayer bailout. Who will bail out the FHLB as it has amassed a total of $304 billion in new loans made in just one week in high risk securities? It was intentionally abused as it was supposed to be a safety net for low income, high risk home loans, not venture capital securities. It now has a debt load of $1.1 trillion. It is a system of 11 banks across the country designed to assist other banks and institutions to lend to individual private low income, high risk home owners. This is the bank of last resort that the other banks rely on in the worst of circumstances. The banks are now in the position of having to pay down the FDIC’s huge debt so it can insure those same banks to a higher degree. The taxpayers will most likely get stuck with the Federal Home Loan bail out so it can continue to finance low income housing that is being constructed like gangbusters across the country. This inevitable bail out will really threaten the entire economy of the US and force taxpayers to shrink their disposable income even further, while at the same time not being able to borrow. Those would be future homeowners will become renters for a much longer time in their lives. This is how the taxpayers will be forced to pay for the Green New Deal.
Confidence in the Highway System and the Police
A number of polls taken within the last week show a sharp decline in the general public’s confidence in our banking system. This directly affects the confidence in the US dollar abroad. It is not surprising to hear Macron admit publicly that he wants to oust the dollar as a valuation for Frances national currency. Others will follow unless confidence is restored within our borders.
At the time of this writing, several reliable sources have predicted quite confidently that we are headed for an imminent global recession. As our banking system becomes more and more reliant on the federal reserve to prop up their balance sheet, they will increase their fees and make it much harder to borrow, the confidence in the US dollar will erode around the world as the dollar is sold off and rejected by other countries in favor of their own currencies , threatening its reserve currency status. Once it is rejected as the worlds reserve currency, its value will plummet, causing a world wide depression the world has never experienced!
‘Global Economic Downturn’
By this writing, it has already been predicted that we are heading toward a global recession as a result of the US banking crisis. Walmart closing 2,000 stores in the US, Goldman Sachs having laid off thousands, 8% of their staff by January of this year, Meta ( Facebook’s parent company) 87,000 just last year, Amazon plans 10,000 to be laid off, Stellantis in Illinois which makes Jeep, Chrysler, and Dodge, laying off 1,350 due to “the electrification of the automobile market”, and most of the big banks cutting 1 to 5% of their staff. The most common reason the largest tech companies and others have initiated massive layoffs and have downsized their corporate staff and closed stores is what they refer to publicly as a ‘global economic downturn’. Well, everything seemed to be going reasonably well until these large banks supporting the tech industry began to be noticed to be failing. Then, in mid 2022, they started to announce layoffs planned for end of 2022 to 2023. This kind of across the board economic retreat just coincides with the growing instability of the US banking system as it pertained to unsupported venture capital investment. Any economics major could predict such a macro economic response to huge unsupported investment and almost absent risk management. This is not a spontaneous crisis. It is a well calculated redistribution of wealth scheme using the US banking system as a funnel to fund the Green New Deal. A spontaneous global depression would occur as a consequence of a depreciation of land, commodities, the dollar, natural disasters, and epidemics, etc.. Rather,as a consequence of this convenient crisis, the dollar will be depreciated significantly, even further than what has already been caused by inflation. Why, just in recent weeks have democrat governors and their supporters been announcing eliminating non-electric vehicles in the next 5-10 years? It makes no economic sense as we enter a period of economic decline, unless the real plan is to control and restrict the free market by eliminating choice for both consumers and producers. The real drivers of this change are committed to establishing a world interdependent economy that will squelch the human motivation to produce more wealth than it consumes. It is well known that the free market exists only at the mercy of government. The collapse of the US free market is welcomed collateral damage to the socialist elites so that they can justify more and more control of the means of production, even if it means the impoverishment of the United States!
The Only Solution For the United States
There Is No Political, Economic, or Social solution
As for every true crisis for the United States, the only solution to this mess are individuals who have the awareness and the courage to stand up against the true cause, the actual forces of this self imposed national cultural and spiritual deterioration. Without the awareness and resolve of our younger generations, the US will never recover from this epic defeat. The failsasfe solution will take two dedicated parents who strive to model and teach a complete awareness of both the secular and spiritual world to their children out of a profound love for them and their children. As a culture, the United States does not have the impetus to arrive at this spontaneously. Therefore, we need a few good men. Nine Eleven rallied our best young men to fight in Iraq out of their love for their country. As a result, the fact is that we grossly subdued the threat of major terrorist attacks around the world. What if they were fooled by a media that convinced them that the aggressors were not terrorists but rather unknown US citizens? This is the dilemma we now have. The results of our spiritual and secular deterioration will destroy our country and our society for everyone, even the world, as the fact is, that the rest of the world depends on a stable, vibrant US economy and strong military, two things that we’ve never been able to accomplish without God’s help. So how will we do this?
I am confident that the strongest individual men around us are about to stand up and take it to their families, to their communities, to wherever they can establish an opportunity, and speak out clearly, logically, and respectfully about the true state of our country and our society, and motivate others to make hard choices. It will involve homeschooling associations that help two working parents to have their children home schooled regardless because our public educational system has been commandeered by radical godless activists. It will involve men spiritually inculcating their family’s spiritual values and practical lifestyle. It will involve men helping men and men seeking help in order to accomplish that extremely important role. God is in control of our spiritual, economic, social, and yes, our political realities. Our children need to be aware of those aspects of reality which God has given us that man cannot change. Our children need the support to stand up and claim those realities, to wisely debate them publicly, and to defend them whenever and wherever confronted. They need to learn from the bible at home under the direction of loving fathers who are willing to answer the most difficult and important questions, be properly armed with those truths, with credible resources, and with the support of other strong men. Just as we tend to think that our 13 and 14 year olds aren’t interested in the bible, and in economics and politics, their minds are beginning to seek credible answers to all those questions. The problem with our culture is that as parents, we have lost our credibility to all sorts of third parties, including school teachers, preachers, and youth pastors, doctors, and all the high powered media getting to their minds ahead of us. Many of us have to do some serious back pedaling, and we need the mothers of the United States to learn to be absolutely become supportive of the fathers that make their whole-hearted effort. In this sense, the United States needs a spiritual re-definition of the family.
Only in the United States will this actually happen. And when it does, you will see the vengeance of the beast come after us and be totally ineffective to the absolute bewilderment of those still dependent on it. It is only in the United States that individual strong men impact its people to act. Contrary to the belief of our opposing forces, the godless elites, the United States is not a Venezuela, is not a Mexico, and is not the failed state of the European Union. The globalist elites will no longer be able to steal our children’s souls and minds and hearts en masse as they had been. They will be suffocated and be made foolish and irrelevant in a truly spiritually strengthened and civilized, revitalized and spiritually driven family culture. It is not because we have better people than the rest of the world. Countless legal immigrants have made invaluable contributions to their adopted country. It is not even because we have a constitution. It is solely because we still have individuals that understand the real purpose of our constitution, and the knowledge and truths from our founding fathers as a result of their common experience, that are imparted through it. We also have the reality of history that has proven its value to the world! Only in the United States will the balance of power always rest amongst the people governed and not the government. Only in the United States will the children be loved anew! Only in the United States!
