The J6 motive: Exactly the same as the motive of every despotic government in our history. To remove anyone who doesn't agree with their despotic agenda.

We are literally in a fight for our nation. Our leaders are intent on keeping us fighting among ourselves because a divided nation is easy to control and it obscures what they are doing in the back rooms and early morning hours. They are stealing our rights, stealing our wealth and stealing our future. And all the while they are bringing in your replacements; replacement voters, replacement workers, replacement citizens.

'Why Democrats Are Losing Ground With Hispanics'

Hispanics and Blacks are slowly coming to the realization that they're pawns and cogs in the eyes of Democrat leaders.

Bees are now Fish.

Seems they learned a lot from the Fauci brigade. When the need to mandate doesn't pass muster for the current definitions in the law you just change the definition of words in the law and presto, no problemo.

And note that it wasn't the legislature that added insects to the Endangered Species Act, it was an Executive Branch agency. Which the Supreme Court in the recent EPA case just struck down as agency overreach going beyond their Congressional mandate. Not that every single agency doesn't constantly push the envelope on their mandate and the Administrative State now is the single branch of government that runs things - witness Biden's "climate crisis" whereby he's going to order the Executive branch agencies to move ahead on his Green New Deal agenda despite the fact that the Senate has rejected it. Don't expect a single agency to resist Biden the way they resisted Trump.

The issue was introduced by sloppy drafting of the original statute. In the sections dealing generally with things that live in the water, they did not qualify "invertibrates" with "marine or aquatic". thus the argument is that that section can be applied to all invertibrates, marine, aquatic, or terrestrial, despite the overriding context indicating this was not the intent.

Almost all law is 'drafted' worded poorly. It's not a flaw it is a feature. It is all written by lawyers, interpreted by lawyers and exploited by lawyers. What the Senate and House needs (and all state legislatures) is a cowboy poet who would be tasked with rewriting all the laws before they are voted on so that they would be clear and understandable to the common man.

Beat the heat.

If you can't beat the heat, then it is time to relocate. Earths average temperature has been increasing for a few thousand years and will continue for a few thousand more before we start cooling for several thousand years once again.

Just curious. On what do you base your projections?

#4.1 Zachriel on 2022-07-20 14:43 (Reply)

History! It's cyclical. Today's "warming" cycle is mild by history standards and it has allowed the earth to support 8 billion people. The cooling cycle will indeed return and there will be a die off to a much lower number of people. Unless Claus Schwab beats the earth to it and kills of a couple billion first.

OneGuy: History! It's cyclical.

Earth's climate varies chaotically. You need more than just waving your hands in the general direction.

#4.1.1.1 Zachriel on 2022-07-20 16:00 (Reply)

Physical geography ... glacial periods in earth history.

They are roughly 100,000 year cycles. Not as chaotic as most imagine.

#4.1.1.1.1 indyjonesouthere on 2022-07-20 16:33 (Reply)

indyjonesouthere: They are roughly 100,000 year cycles.

You are presumably referring to Milankovitch cycles. There are several Milankovitch cycles having to do with Earth's motions: eccentricity with a 100,000-year cycle (and a beat period of 400,000 years), precession with a 26,000-year cycle, and obliquity with a 41,000 year cycle. As such, the sum effect is inherently chaotic. A million or so years ago, obliquity dominated, but now eccentricity has greater weight. But you can't reach the conclusion that eccentricity will always predominate without accounting for all the cycles, because the sum effect will change chaotically over time.

Nor do the Milankovitch cycles properly explain climate changes without also including positive feedbacks from albedo and greenhouse gases.

Furthermore, the Milankovitch cycles are much slower than the current warming trend. And even more important, the Milankovitch cycles are in a cooling phase, but the Earth surface is warming.

The cycles are long term history. Climate change narratives are all short-term political narratives financed by authoritarian governments and institutions.

indyjonesouthere: The cycles are long term history.

Sure. You brought up the 100,000-year cycle, yet you avoided the points raised:

The current warming trend is too rapid to be explained by Milankovitch cycles.
The Milankovitch cycles would result in a cooling climate.
The stratosphere is cooling while the surface is warming. An increase in insolation would warm the stratosphere too, but stratospheric cooling is characteristic of greenhouse warming.

The J6 motive.

Just a democratic effort to keep the 4th branch of government out of sight and out of mind. The spying never ended and won't end until the 4th branch creators are locked up.

Question: How does using aggressive executive action to implement a climate agenda, after failing to legislate, through the democratic process, not put “our precious democracy” (spit) in peril? The ruling class in America use to use war - war on poverty, war on drugs, war on etc. etc. - as the excuse to implement their statist agenda, now they have moved on to the Emergency Declaration.

After declaring a ‘climate emergency’, the power of the State is unlimited. If you think it will be as benign as ramping up production of solar panels, which was an utter failure under the Light Bearer, I’ve got some magnificent properties to sell you, dirt cheap.

The covid mandates were a conditioning exercise for the sheep. Half the country still wanted mask mandates even after they proved to be useless. There are still people who think that a one way aisle in the super market saved lives. Ultimately the disease ran it's course and everyone was exposed regardless of what they did. It has officially been revealed that most who died "from covid" died from something else. It is now obvious that the vaccine itself is a killer that continues to kill for months, maybe years.

Now that you have been conditioned to accept whatever the government says to declare a national emergency they will now rule by national emergencies and if the citizens complain they will institute mandates. Now it is just a matter of time and half a dozen more national emergencies and you will be docile sheep among wolves. Good luck comrades!

If we had destroyed 90% of plankton in the oceans, the larger whales would be washing up on shores wholesale. I regard that stupid bit of propaganda as equivalent to the nine-year-old's photo of a plastic straw up a turtle's nose, which led to the idiocy of banning plastic straws.

Did you know there is a black nationalist communist group 'Black Hammer'? I know that the left is desperately searching for white supremacist but there is actually a black nationalist communist group known as 'Black Hammer'. How has this been kept secret?
