"If you grant the president emergency powers to declare a climate emergency, it’s just like COVID.” Such a declaration could give Biden “vast and unchecked authority to shut down everything from communications to infrastructure,” and the ability to censor free speech and freeze financial assets.
-- U.S. Oil and Gas Association President Tim Stewart
The nonprofit Center for Biological Diversity issued a non exhaustive “legal guide” saying that Biden, under an emergency declaration, could:
End crude oil exports
End all offshore oil and gas leasing
Restrict U.S. fossil fuel exports and end hundreds of billions of dollars in overseas fossil fuel investments
Dramatically accelerate a transition to clean energy
What is being released right now is not transparency.
It is controlled disclosure.
Fragments.
Selective timing.
Curated narratives.
Carefully engineered confusion.
Enough to distract.
Former DNI General Michael Flynn
“Our problem as Americans is we actually hate history. What we love is nostalgia.’
-- Regie Gibson
“Here’s an uncomfortable truth about the Epstein accusations: We only find them morally reprehensible because of Christianity. Before the spread of Christianity, ‘civilized’ Greek and Roman elites openly flaunted underage s*x slaves. This was normal. Emperor Hadrian built an entire city in honor of his favorite boy… If you undercut the moral foundations of Christianity from the West, culture reverts back to pagan norms.”
