U.S. Civil War: Drugs, Education, Gun Bans, Immigrants, Infrastructure, Mandates, Pandemics, Secession

There are multiple reason why people in the United States of America should feel like rebelling against their own government, here’s just a sampling of video reports and links to publications, for 2022, so far:

COVERT 2ND AMENDMENT BANS:

Liberal-progressives in Washington state pushing to expand their anti-gun laws created in 2022, will push for gun bans in 2023!

Liberal-progressives in Illinois pushing to ban guns!

In Ohio, the Columbus City Council created a new gun-ban law, despite the fact it is in violation of state and federal laws!

In Texas, a federal judge rules a specific federal anti-gun law violates the federal Constitution!

Second Circuit Court of Appeals allows New York City to temporarily enforce its concealed carry ban!

Oregon voters tricked into narrowly passing covert gun ban, which actually violates Oregon’s Constitution. This report explains how Measure 114 became a covert ‘back door’ gun ban:

This report says rural voters outvote city voters in Oregon, if that is the case why did Oregon’s covert gun ban pass?

This report does a quick comparison of gun laws in Idaho, then explains how Oregon’s Measure 114 (passed by a razor thin margin) is actually a way of preventing Oregonians from their state and federal Rights to defend themselves. Also, reveals that Sheriffs of several counties refuse to enforce the new anti-2nd Amendment law:

Pennsylvania business owner upsets Liberal Progressives by hiring his own armed guards, because crime in the Liberal controlled state has skyrocketed:

Missouri National Guard finally becomes a separate state department, December 2022, liberal-progressive politicians blame 2nd Amendment Preservation Act!

Liberal-progressive controlled federal Department of Justice sues the state of Missouri over its 2nd Amendment Preservation Act!

Iowa‘s 2nd Amendment Preservation Act.

State of Wyoming creates its own 2nd Amendment Preservation Act, to counter federal anti-gun laws!

EDUCATION: Liberal-progressives want children to be taught by robots!

Liberal-progressives blame failing Social Studies for Q-Anon and the Big Lie!

Pandemic lockdowns and mandates are being blamed for the dumbing down of grade schoolers, liberal-progressive school districts (like San Diego‘s) want put them all into ‘special education’ classes!

80% of Lowell High School teachers go on strike (sick-out) to protest San Francisco Unified School District!

The “Biden-Harris Administration” (yes, the U.S. Department of Education actually referrers to the Office of the President [singular] as “Biden-Harris” [plural]) announced a new push for the failed STEM program!

Penn State undergraduate student, charged with taking part in ‘Proud Boy’ demonstrations, will be allowed to graduate.

Pennsylvania Department of Education promotes new vocational school that focuses on Carbon Careers!

University of Wyoming revokes privileges for church elder after he took part in demonstrations for LGBTQ (ABCD… LMNOP… XYZ) people.

INFRASTRUCTURE:  Electric power grids have been under ‘attack’ for a long time, they were always officially referred to as “vandalisms”. In this report, the expert being interviewed reveals that power grid attacks have taken place since at least the 1990s:

Notice that most power grid attacks on the Atlantic Coast of the U.S. involve a utility company called Duke Energy:

Florida utility companies say they are preparing for attacks:

MANDATES: Vaccine-mandate protestors have dogged Michelle Wu’s first year as Boston mayor.

In Connecticut, anti-vaccine protesters rally against Yale’s booster mandate.

In New York, Fordham College at Lincoln Center’s new mandate for booster shots is being ignored by school security guards, the ‘un-boosted’ are being allowed on campus?

PANDEMIC: In Pennsylvania, the city of Johnstown rejected Pandemic funding for a local church.  The funding came from federal taxpayers, but the city officials made up their own rules about who qualifies for the funding!  The city is essentially sitting on more than $30-million in federal Pandemic funding!

Inflation being blamed on Pandemic stimulus funding?

California lifts their Pandemic insurance rate freeze, GEICO first to hit Californians with huge rate increase!

Fauci says his family is being threatened, at least two people facing charges they tried to kill him!

SECESSION: More Oregonians want to create a Greater Idaho:

UNIONS: Are massive Amazon layoffs actually a war against Unions?

Biden/Democrats screw over Railroad and Airline union workers, unions now rebelling against both Democrats and Republicans:

Climate Civil War: Too Big to Jail Banks use saving the Climate as new excuse to steal your money?

“ESG is often celebrated as the new and improved form of capitalism, a movement of sorts….  …While some have a meaningful effect on environmental, social, and governance issues, we learned that others are ineffective if not downright misleading to consumers and investors.”-Reed Watson, Director of the Hayek Center and Professor of Practice in Economics

On 11OCT2022, in the supposed Red-State of Texas, a new woke-female-led company was created, called Allivate Impact Capital, who’s stated mission is to “invest in projects supporting the burgeoning environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG)”, among other things.

On 26SEP2022, the U.S. Federal Reserve announced “…a pilot climate scenario analysis exercise designed to enhance the ability of supervisors and firms to measure and manage climate-related financial risks.”  The idea is to test Big Banks’ ability “…to build capacity to manage climate-related financial risks.” and added that “In coming months, the Board will provide additional details on how the exercise will be conducted and the scenarios that will be used in the pilot.”

Apparently the U.S. Federal Reserve is joining the globalist by launching a ‘pilot program’ involving the Too Big to Fail/Jail Banks of the United States; North Carolina based (but California funded) Bank of America, New York City based Citigroup, New York City based Goldman Sachs, New York City based JPMorgan Chase, New York City based JPMorgan Chase, and California founded/based Wells Fargo.

The Environmental Social Governance (ESG) program will supposedly judge the strength of a bank’s assets in relation to the planet’s climate!  This is in response to the United Nations’ diatribe back in April, 2022, warning that in order to stop using petroleum there needs to be money available to create new ‘green’ infrastructure, and perhaps your account in that Big Bank is one of the ways ‘they’ are going to get that funding.

South Carolina’s Hayek Center for the Business of Prosperity recently concluded a two-day ESG policy and research conference: “The research conference investigates social and environmental policies across various aspects of the corporate world, including banking, asset management, product markets, capital investment and corporate governance.”– Arash Dayani, assistant professor of finance

The Hayek Center’s conference revealed that ESG is not just about climate, but a person’s gender (The Impact of a Principles-Based Approach to Director Gender Diversity Policy, which concluded that such policies are working), how information about ESG affects people’s shopping habits (Consumer response to ESG news: evidence from supermarket goods, which concluded that any impact of ESG upon consumers is temporary), the effects of such things as carbon taxes and ESG Ratings on industrial polluters (Sustainability or Greenwashing: Evidence from the Asset Market for Industrial Pollution, which concluded that such policies did nothing to reduce pollution), the effects of ESG funding on ‘proxy voting’, and finally, ESG is becoming a convenient excuse for underperforming executives.

Seeing ESG as an excuse for their actions might be why ESG is among the top ten global banking trends of 2022?

Biden’s Borderland: ‘Illegal’ trucks being smuggled into U.S. from Canada, thru Idaho?

09 October 2022 (11:27-UTC-07 Tango 06) 17 Mehr 1401/13 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1444/14 Geng-Xu 4720/09 октября 2022 года

Idaho is now caught in the middle of a so-called smuggling operation involving the leftist-liberal controlled state of Washington, and the leftist-liberal federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

On 07OCT2022, the EPA announced that once again the U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CPB) caught ‘illegal’ diesel powered pickup trucks being ‘smuggled’ into Washington state, from Canada, through Idaho: “We appreciate the partnership with the Customs and Border Protection agents in ensuring compliance with these important laws to protect public health.”-Ed Kowalski, EPA Region 10 Enforcement and Compliance Assistance Division

The EPA says the trucks are illegal because they violate current EPA regulations concerning diesel powered pickup trucks.

Specifically, on 23SEP2022 a company called DDM Imports Incorporated (not to be confused with the South African based DDM Imports which focuses on importing parts for German cars), headquartered in the city of Airways Heights, Washington, was fined $41-thousand-582 for attempting to import allegedly altered diesel powered pickups from Canada, through the border-port-town of Eastport, in Idaho.  The CPB reported that upon inspection of the vehicles they claim they found that the emission controls had be altered and no longer complied with EPA regulations. The EPA says this is the fourth such incident in the past three years, DDM Imports has been fined for each incident.

Since January 2020, the EPA began a new crackdown (National Compliance Initiative) on what the leftist-liberals believe should be illegal motors, it is called Stopping Aftermarket Defeat Devices for Vehicles and Engines.   And, with all the problems of illegal migrants and illegal drugs flooding into the U.S., the EPA has the CPB busy inspecting inanimate objects rather than protecting the citizens from dangerous invaders and chemicals!

DDM Imports is a U.S. based vehicle importer/exporter that ships directly from/to Canada.  DDM has two locations in Washington, and one operation in each of the following: Minnesota, Montana and Utah.

It should also be noted that diesel emissions are less toxic than gasoline, you can shut yourself into a garage with a diesel motor running and emerge the next day with a headache, but still very much alive, while the CO emissions from a gasoline motor will kill you within 5-minutes!  A properly tuned diesel will not produce toxic levels of CO, however, a diesel motor that is not properly tuned (over-rich fuel/air mixture) it can. But the environmental-fascists are more concerned with the particulates than with actual poisons, that is why they prefer toxic gasoline over diesel, and love the more toxic lithium powered electric vehicles.

(The Simple Answer is, “Yes,” Diesel is Cleaner than Gasoline)

It should be noted that on DDM’s own website they state that “Once the vehicle arrives on our lot, we perform the necessary modification to make the vehicle compliant with the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) safety standards.” There is no mention of EPA regulations.

Most regions of The Gem State have such clean air that there is no vehicle emission testing.  An area known as The Treasure Valley (aka Greater Boise Metro Area), however, has vehicle emission testing (and it’s the main reason registration fees are noticeably higher), since 1984.

The Treasure Valley is in the region of Southwestern Idaho, it encompasses the counties of Ada, Boise, Canyon, Elmore, Gem, Kuna and Owyhee.  The area is geographically a ‘bowl’, and experiences a lot of atmospheric inversions which hold down all kinds of air pollutants, not just those from ground vehicles.

The massively polluting ‘Air Force One’ (Boeing 747) delivered President Biden to Gowen Field/Boise Airport, 13 SEP2021. Idaho Air National Guard photo by Senior Master Sergeant Joshua C. Allmaras.

The Treasure Valley is also home to the busiest airport in Idaho; Boise Airport, which is also used by the aircraft of the Idaho National Guard (known as Gowen Field) and by the U.S. Navy (known as Gowen Field Naval and Marine Corps Reserve Center).

Boise Airport is also home base for the National Interagency Fire Center, which includes fire fighting water bomber aircraft.

This is important in regards to air pollution as many studies have shown that the true air polluters in metro areas are busy airports (according to one rabid environmentalist group, global aircraft operations put out enough emissions to be ranked in sixth place behind the top five polluting countries), yet you can’t install emission control devices on a jet turbine, so they continue to blame piston engined ground vehicles which produce only a fraction of the pollution that a turbine can generate upon take-off (this fact was known way back in the 1970s when the environmentalists succeeded in imposing expensive, yet ineffective, emission control devices on your car).  Do some research, you might discover that most of the highly air polluted areas of the United States just happen to have a lot of busy airports/military bases.

On October 7th, 2022, the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) announced they would no longer require emission testing in Kuna or Canyon counties.  David Luft, a manager with DEQ admitted that “Motor vehicles are becoming cleaner and cleaner burning. They’re manufactured to be cleaner, so emissions testing program isn’t as effective as it used to be in the past.” Heck, even jet turbines have become more cleaner burning since their invention way back in the 1930s-40s.  It is not just the motors becoming cleaner burning, the fuels themselves are being refined, within the U.S., to a standard that makes them burn cleaner than they did 50 years ago (and this is outside of California’s police-state environmental regulations).

A U.S. Navy parachutist jumped from a perfectly good airplane, into the relatively (compared to other U.S. metro areas) clean air over Boise, 25AUG2010. U.S. Navy photo by James Woods.

But in the state capitol of Boise, in Ada County, emission testing will continue because it is a city law!  Despite it being city law, state DEQ officials are pushing Boise officials to end that law, especially since the state legislature ended state level emission testing back in March!

So far the only people protesting such a move are the owner/operators of emission testing stations, many of those testing stations are actually mobile vans.

David Luft also admitted that air pollutants in Idaho have been on the decline for years and that it will continue to decline even without emission testing: “Even without that program, on-road-motor-vehicle emissions will continue to decline through 2040.”

However, in 2020 Idaho was ranked as having the highest percentage increase in carbon emissions, but that was blamed on all the new people moving to the Boise area, and it was pointed out that Idaho’s air is so clean to begin with that any increase looks bad: “Idaho is one of the fastest-growing states. And you’re going to see… some level of increased carbon emissions….. Since Idaho is already starting with low carbon emissions, a relatively small increase results in a higher percentage increase.”-Tiffany Floyd, DEQ

2 & 1/2 Mile Fire, as seen from my backyard in Chubbuck, Idaho.

The wildfire currently called Two and a Half Mile Fire is in an area of Bannock County, Idaho, that has a history of going up in smoke.  Just last month, in the same area, north of Pocatello, on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Fort Hall Reservation land, was the Ross Fork Fire (not to be confused with a current wildfire of the same name in Blaine County).

Photo via BLM.

Today, a warning has been issued for those using the Interstate 15 highway, around the Fort Hall Exit between Pocatello and Blackfoot, firefighting efforts could result in highway traffic being halted of diverted. The Idaho Fire Information website ranks the fire as “extreme”, an evacuation order was issued to anybody living in the 2 1/2 Mile Road/East Ross Fork area.

The fire has burned at least 7-thousand acres since the afternoon of 08SEP2022. Fast winds during the night made the fire worse, it is zero percent contained.  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a burn ban for federal reservations in Idaho, Oregon and Washington, and the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) issued a Degraded Air Quality warning, and a burn ban for Bannock, Bear Lake, Bingham, Caribou, Franklin, Power and Oneida Counties.  The air quality warnings and burn bans are blamed on the numerous fires in the Pacific Northwest.

This is not the first time a wildfire blackened the hills around 2 1/2 Mile Road; 03JUL2013:
