What should be allowed in the Zoom classroom? Well, in Colusa High, Colusa County, CA one high school teacher was annoyed by a student’s Trump flag.
Political
Politicians MUST live in another world. If they did live where others live why would they push such non-sense as renewables as the answer for energy efficiency and lower power bills? Oh, they want to save the planet! Well, higher power bills will will save energy because electricity will be too costly to use but it still will not save the planet!
Nevertheless, politicians continue to push renewables every chance they get repeating the mantra we the consumers will save money in our bill. That’s not true at least for the power company we use which charges MORE for ‘Green Energy’! On the power company’s web site it tells the consumer ‘Add green energyYou can offset your carbon footprint by adding GreenPower or Green Gas to your account. For electricity, it’ll cost from 65 cents extra a week. For natural gas, it’s just $1 extra on all residential plans.0%25%50%100%Electricityextra 2.8c/kWh (incl GST)’ https://www.originenergy.com.au/electricity-gas/plans.html
Oh, I can offset my carbon footprint by paying MORE money! Yet, the New South Wales government tells the consumer they are ‘increasing affordability by reducing wholesale electricity costs’.https://energy.nsw.gov.au/renewables/renewable-energy-zones#-why-is-the-nsw-government-delivering-renewable-energy-zones- These people know how to lie with a straight face!
Here in New South Wales Matt Kean is the Minister for Energy and Environment. He is a BIG pusher of the climate scam renewables. In June of this year Kean said “We have some of the best renewable resources you’ll find anywhere on the planet,” Matt Kean tells RenewEconomy in the latest episode of the weekly Energy Insiders podcast. “We’ve got great sun. We’ve got great wind. And guess what? We’ve got the ability to have a lot of pumped hydro.
“So we’re well placed to be an energy superpower. The flow on effect from that means cheaper bills for consumers. Cheaper bills for business (and) more opportunities here. And the creation of jobs with businesses that are energy intensive.
“If they’re looking for a global competitive advantage when it comes to low cost energy, we can provide it, but we’ve got to move quickly and we’ve got to move now. And that is an opportunity for us to be an economic superpower, not just an energy superpower, an economic superpower. And it’s too big an opportunity not to grab.”
It’s a theme that is catching on in the conservative side of politics in Australia, not that you’d notice from reading the mainstream media.
Kean, of course, is a Liberal MP in the conservative Berejiklian government in NSW, and his views are shared by the Tasmania Liberal government, which has an aim of reaching 200 per cent renewables within 20 years so it can export the surplus to the mainland, or attract clean industries to its state; and the South Australia Liberal government, which wants to reach net 100 per cent renewables by 2030, and also become a renewable export superpower, exporting to neighbouring states and other countries.
It’s not something that you hear much about in the federal Coalition, or even the Liberal and LNP state oppositions in Victoria and Queensland, but Kean says you simply can’t ignore the science, and you can’t ignore global trends.
“The world is moving in this direction. Fifty three per cent of the world’s GDP has signed up to achieve zero net emissions by 2050. So it’s only going in one direction,” Kean says.
“You’d imagine if the Democrats take the White House, then that final domino will fall and it will turbo-charge the world’s move towards zero emissions. We’ve got two choices here, as far as I can see. We can set ourselves up for success …. be a prosperous nation where jobs are created here domestically and our wealth is created here domestically, or we can stick our head in the sand, ignore the global reality that is occurring.
“As far as I’m concerned, there is only one way to go, and that is to modernise the grid, deliver cheap, reliable energy and set ourselves up to be an energy and economic superpower in a low carbon economy.”’https://reneweconomy.com.au/kean-says-nsw-can-be-renewable-energy-superpower-or-stick-its-head-in-the-sand-50892/
As I said earlier. these people do not live in the real world. Kean would live to see Biden win because Biden would ruin the USA via renewables! Now, the above article motivated me to write to my state and Federal members who are both in the supposedly conservative National Party. I wrote:
‘Dear Member,
Do you agree with this statement made by Matt Kean in June of this year?
“The world is moving in this direction. Fifty three per cent of the world’s GDP has signed up to achieve zero net emissions by 2050. So it’s only going in one direction,” Kean says.
“You’d imagine if the Democrats take the White House, then that final domino will fall and it will turbo-charge the world’s move towards zero emissions. We’ve got two choices here, as far as I can see. We can set ourselves up for success …. be a prosperous nation where jobs are created here domestically and our wealth is created here domestically, or we can stick our head in the sand, ignore the global reality that is occurring.” Kean says NSW can be renewable energy superpower, or stick its head in the sand
Whether you agree or not tell me how the Coalition really differs from the Labor/Greens on this net zero emission by 2050! AT LEAST IN THE LAST ELECTION LABOR WAS UP FRONT AND WENT TO THE ELECTION WITH THE ZERO EMISSIONS BY 2050 WHEREAS THE COALITION TOOK COAL INTO PARLIAMENT!’
Do I really expect anything to change when these politicians are ‘following the science’?
Nothing should surprise us in this day! So, it is not a total surprise that there are those who ‘…are working to “collapse America from within.” It is a “political warfare document.” “Know your enemy.” “Globalists letting Marxists and Islamists off the leash.” “Prepare!”
Those are the words of Brannon Howse who takes apart for us the document published in August by the Transition Integrity Project which includes a group of players working to surround this year’s presidential election in chaos and crisis.
And, if you are looking forward to a return to normalcy beginning on November 4th, forget it.
Howse believes that the globalists, Marxists and Islamists actually want a Trump victory (why else pick such a weak candidate as the senile Biden) surrounded by confusion, violence and chaos so over the next 4 years they can change America forever as part of the great global “reset.”
He posits that through this “color revolution” our lives will be so turned upside down within those 4 years that we will beg for normalcy (ha! the new normalcy, that is) while blaming Trump for our unhappy state.
It is way too much for me to summarize so please take one hour to watch Brannon Howse explain the game plan he believes is the globalist plan for the destruction of America.’https://fraudscrookscriminals.com/2020/09/29/transition-integrity-project-lays-out-strategy-for-destroying-america-as-we-know-it/
Funny how these militant Muslim women wearing the hijab are supposedly showing submission to Allah but at the same time they are disgustingly so hateful to their fellow human beings with whom they disagree. For example, Sarsour tweeted on March 8, 2011: “Brigitte Gabriel = Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She’s asking 4 an a$$ whippin’. I wish I could take their vaginas away – they don’t deserve to be women.” This call for physical violence against someone she hated was a harbinger of things to come, but it received no notice among her sycophants on the left. After all, why would it? They’re committed to the same violence.’https://www.jihadwatch.org/2020/09/linda-sarsour-in-louisville-the-leftist-islamic-alliance-in-action?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=the_2020_09_27_jihad_watch_daily_digest&utm_term=2020-09-29

The politicians in California and New South Wales, Australia https://energy.nsw.gov.au/ seem to be drinking the Kool Aid of the climate scam. While New South Wales has some of the highest electricity prices in the world the California climate scam geniuses ‘…have mandated that all cars in the state must be electric by 2035, it seems like a good time to ask what, exactly, this is going to do to the state’s already fragile power grid.
In what will likely come as a surprise to lawmakers who we can almost guarantee didn’t think about this in advance, it turns out that electrifying all of the state’s vehicles could be “an immense burden” on the state’s grid, according to Bloomberg.
In fact, this past week’s executive order could drive up power demands in the state by as much as 9.5% over the next 10 years and 25% by 2035. This could be a “nightmare” scenario for a state where power is often so tight that rolling blackouts are ordered to prevent the system from collapsing during heat waves.
Additionally, if everyone were to plug in their vehicles at the same time, at night, the problem could be concentrated and even worse.
Erica Bowman, director of resource and environmental planning and strategy at utility Southern California Edison said: “It could go either way. It really depends on planning.”
What planning means is the idea that people would have to stagger when and how they plug in their vehicles for charging, taking into account when the state’s solar energy kicks in and when wind power peaks. Ah, yes, what a wonderful quality of life California offers, where you’ll soon have to ask permission to plug in your car just to get from point A to point B.
Everyone plugging their car in at 6PM after work could “lead to disaster”, according to the report. It’s the same time everyone also decides to turn on their air conditioning, stoves and televisions. At the same time, solar power plunges around sunset, forcing gas plants to pick up the slack. If gas plants are down or there’s no imports available, you wind up with a rolling blackout scenario, like the state had last month.
Jules Kortenhorst, chief executive officer of the Rocky Mountain Institute, said cars will have to “talk to the grid” to figure out when the best time to charge is: “The car will talk to the grid. ‘It’s 6 pm. Wait 15 minutes, because I’m crunched a bit.’ You won’t spend a second thinking about it.”
Californians bought about 1.9 million cars and light duty trucks last year. The state will simply need more power if it mandates that they are all EVs going forward. It will also need to deploy charging stations much faster than it has in the past.
Pedro Pizzaro of Edison International concluded: “It’s not doable a year from now, but it is doable a decade from now. And that gives society time to deploy infrastructure for chargers and get consumers comfortable.”
And California citizens, already leaving the state in droves due to rising taxes, will be on the hook to pay for it all. But hey, back to saving the planet at all costs!’https://www.activistpost.com/2020/09/california-ev-mandate-could-lead-to-disaster-for-states-already-fragile-electric-grid.html
Biblical history is a foreshadowing of what is occurring today. In the first book of Scripture ‘Growing numbers of people gathered on the fertile plain watered by the two great rivers. There, in the sunny warm climate, they could easily harvest multiple crops per year. And they could easily mold bricks and set them with tar and asphalt from the abundant pits. “So they said, ‘Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name (for ourselves), lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth’” (Genesis 11:4).
You know the history. The people were in direct disobedience to the Lord’s repeated command – a resistance to his divine will to venture forth and populate the whole earth. And they were caught up in their own humanistic pride. Jewish historian Josephus wrote regarding Babel in his Antiquities of the Jews. He described how Nimrod was the principal one to excite the post-flood world population in their rebellion against God and attempt of a humanist utopia. He noted in a 2,000-year-old statement, keenly insightful in its understanding of the antichrist spirit: “Nimrod … gradually changed the government into a tyranny, seeing no other way of turning man from the fear of God but by bringing them into a constant dependence upon its power” (Josephus: The Complete Works, Volume 40).
As we continue through prolonged pandemic lockdowns, we should realize that there is “a method to this madness” – one of conditioning people to government authority, control and provision in the place of God. This displacement of freedom under God by big government is also the goal of communism and the thinking of Karl Marx. He and his fellows realized that a government tyranny can be established with violence and revolution from stirred-up grievances – the “oppressed” against the “oppressor”. And a great deception is employed that power and abundance will accrue from a new humanist utopia to the oppressed people.
Yet, because of man’s fundamental depravity, this never happens. Any kind of humanism is flawed because mankind is fundamentally flawed. And an elite group brings in their new mandated “utopia” with more godless oppression and their own addiction to government power. As with Nimrod and with the various forms of Marxism, godlessness must be invoked to properly support an all-powerful and all-wise State in the minds of the people. The biblical God and Christianity stand in the way.
Marx was intent on subverting Christianity and was a man fascinated and inspired by the devil and his domain (Marx and Satan, R. Wurmbrand, 1986; The Devil and Karl Marx, P. Kengor, 2020). He rejoiced with the publishing of Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species in 1859, seeing it as scientific corroboration of godlessness – of his anti-God ideology. Today, we can see his ideas emerging in all the “wokeness”, “cancel culture”, “social justice” and the “cultural Marxism” of our time.
In fact, the founders of the organization Black Lives Matter (BLM) have publicly called themselves “trained Marxists”. And Antifa groups first arose during the Russian Revolution, migrated to Germany, where they fought to bring about another Marxist revolution, and have then come to the USA. Many of them are Satanists as well as Marxists.
The founders of BLM are also practitioners of witchcraft, with co-founder Patrisse Cullors and others advocating the system of Ifa, a West African religion of divination through calling up the dead, the “ancestor spirits” (wikipedia.org/wiki/Ifá). They credit it andMarxism for empowering themselves and their movement. (The empowerment is like that of the Tower of Babel – used as a temple to commune with spirits. The name Babel in Babylonian is “Babili”, which means “the gate of god”.)
And indeed there is a power that has taken hold worldwide – with reactions of support all across the world, taking knees of submission, chanting the names of the favored dead, and flooding the coffers of BLM with over $1.6 billion. Professional sports enterprises, major
corporations, universities, young people with desires to advance “social justice” and a major political party have all championed the cause. Yet, so much of the rush to judgment has been without all the facts. And so much of the reaction has been in a spirit of hatred, thuggery, violence, intimidation, condemnation, guilt and fear. This is not of God, but of a dark power.
BLM – along with much of academia, government, and business today, corrupted by humanist values and lack of moral clarity – advocates “Critical Race Theory” (CRT), which is not true civil rights. CRT, which arose in the 1990s, is an extension of “Critical Theory”, which came from the cultural Marxists – those who realized that revolution could only happen when the institutions of Western Civilization were sufficiently worn down. Undermine the institutions – education, family values, religion, social cohesion, etc. – and you can set things up for Marxism. CRT applies cultural Marxism to race, defining the “white” race as “the oppressor” and “blacks” as “the oppressed”.
Therefore, it is not good enough to say, “I am a person who happens to be black.” We must not say that we are, first and foremost, people, created by God and are of “one blood” (Acts 17:26) … and were divided at Babel into different languages and family groups. Rather, in CRT, people of color must say: “I am Black” because my “race” is the definition of my being, including being a person who is oppressed. This hearkens back to “scientific racism”, where human beings were supposedly not one subspecies, homo-sapiens, but had multiple origins. Race supposedly determined most all things about us. “Scientific racism” comes out of early evolutionary theory and is actually a “pseudo-science”.
The more evolution is accepted without question, the easier it becomes for Marxism and its various aberrations (like Critical Race Theory) to take root in the university setting. This is, in fact, what has happened. Evolution has held the intellectual ground in our educational institutions for a long time, so it is easy to see why Marxist theories and Socialism are accepted in our society today. It is the legitimizing of godlessness that Marx rejoiced in! This is another reason why Creation Moments needs to continue proclaiming the truth of creation and our great Creator! Moreover, it is why Christians do well by boycotting the public schools, choosing instead to homeschool their children or to send them to Christian schools!
Although the devil wields a sinister power, the Bible reminds us that “greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). We need to remind ourselves of that, and to pray against unrighteousness. We need to draw deeply on the Spirit of God within each of us as Christians for power to combat the conditioning and intimidations of the antichrist spirit, which is increasing at this juncture in history. Each of us can be empowered by the Spirit to labor according to the gifts He has abundantly bestowed on us!’https://creationmoments.com/newsletter/how-godless-evolution-and-marxism-are-conditioning-people-to-replace-god/?mc_cid=57167e3aee&mc_eid=00c1dcff3c
If you by chance wake up on election day and go and vote for Sleepy Joe what kind of America will you get? ‘Those comforting themselves with the idea that a vote for Joe Biden is a “return to normalcy” are delusional. A vote for Joe Biden is a vote for an America where pro-life laws are overturned, religious liberty is destroyed, American power is used to bully other nations into accepting the LGBT agenda, abortion on demand and funded by the taxpayer is considered a human right, Christian adoption agencies are forced out of business if they refuse to place children with same-sex couples, and those with unwanted same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria are banned from getting the assistance they desperately desire. That would be Joe Biden’s America.’https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=4308
Government creates the problem and then creates a solution to that problem. Yes, ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help you.’ Due to the government handling of the China virus businesses are or will be going broke. However, the government which created the fiasco has the answer.
‘Small businesses will be protected from needlessly being wound up under changes to be announced by the Morrison government on Sept. 24.
The reforms to be unveiled by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg will cover around three-quarters of businesses subject to insolvencies today.
They will draw on key features of the “Chapter 11” bankruptcy code used in the United States.
Key elements of the reforms include:
* The introduction of a new debt restructuring process for incorporated businesses with liabilities of less than $1 million
* Moving from a one-size-fits-all “creditor in possession” model to a more flexible “debtor in possession” model, allowing eligible small businesses to restructure existing debts while remaining in control of their business
* A period of 20 business days to develop a restructuring plan by a small business restructuring practitioner, followed by 15 business days for creditors to vote on the plan
* A simplified liquidation pathway for small businesses
* Red tape cuts for the insolvency sector.
The changes follow the extension earlier this month of temporary insolvency and bankruptcy protections to support small businesses impacted by the COVID crisis.
As the temporary relief expires at the end of December, the number of companies being put into external administration is expected to increase.
Reserve Bank governor Philip Lowe warned of the wave of business failures in August.
“There will be insolvencies. There will be bankruptcies. There will be some businesses that will not recover. That’s the harsh reality of an economic downturn that’s the worst in 100 years,” he told parliament’s economics committee.
The longer-term reforms are earmarked to start on January 1, subject to parliament passing legislation.
“These are the most significant reforms to Australia’s insolvency framework in almost 30 years, and will help to keep more businesses in business and Australians in jobs,” Frydenberg said.
He said the government was also providing support totalling $314 billion to cushion the blow for households and businesses as part of its economic recovery plan.’https://www.theepochtimes.com/insolvency-reforms-to-help-aussie-small-businesses_3512306.html

‘“ICE is set to deport dozens of individuals from my district to Somalia, risking the spread of COVID. ICE’s actions will not only put these individuals at risk, but could have far-reaching consequences for Somalia.”
What about the “far-reaching consequences” for Americans of keeping in the country 39 people “accused of various crimes including murder, rape, domestic violence, sexual assault, drug trafficking and conspiring with foreign terrorists”? About that, Ilhan Omar was apparently silent.
“ICE Deports Dozens Of Somali Nationals Convicted Of Rape, Murder, Other Charges,” by Brianna Lyman, Daily Caller, September 19, 2020:
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported 39 Somali nationals this week, including 36 with criminal histories, despite Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar claiming that the deportations would put people at risk.
ICE announced the deportations in a letter to Omar Friday, saying the agency should be applauded for removing the 39 individuals accused of various crimes including murder, rape, domestic violence, sexual assault, drug trafficking and conspiring with foreign terrorists, per the letter….
“ICE is set to deport dozens of individuals from my district to Somalia, risking the spread of COVID. ICE’s actions will not only put these individuals at risk, but could have far-reaching consequences for Somalia,” she said.
Omar, who was born in Somalia, has called for the abolishment of ICE and was one of 14 Democrats who called for ICE to stop deportations in March due to the coronavirus, claiming it was dangerous to send the individuals back to their country of origin.
“For detainees who are immunocompromised or otherwise susceptible to the worst consequences of contracting COVID-19, holding them in detention may be literally a matter of life and death,” the Democrats wrote in a letter to Department of Homeland Security Acting Secretary Chad Wolf.
“Deporting people who may have been exposed to coronavirus to either countries that have few or no cases or to continue with weak health care infrastructure is an unacceptable risk to take,” the letter continued. “Many countries, including the United States, are implementing strict border controls during this pandemic, and we should make no exception for ICE Air and deportations.”
However, ICE reassured Omar in their letter that they do not “remove aliens who are not fit for travel, which includes any detainee confirmed or suspected of having COVID-19.” The letter stated ICE conducted pre-flight screenings for individuals that includes temperature checking….’https://www.jihadwatch.org/2020/09/ice-deports-somalis-accused-of-conspiring-with-jihadis-murder-rape-ilhan-omar-warns-of-consequences-for-somalia?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=the_2020_09_23_jihad_watch_daily_digest&utm_term=2020-09-23
