The would be King-Emperors of the world don’t just want to transform energy and change the weather, they also want to rebuild the entire financial system, no doubt to put the UN at the centre of the rivers of money. Make no mistake, the lauded “loss and damages” fantasy plan was but a shiny bauble to distract you. The bigger ambit is to get the West to pay for the whole world to become a solar and windmill paradise and — “obviously” that means they have to rebuild the entire world’s financial system. (They actually say that). Consider the numbers: The combined loss and damages claim for 55 countries over twenty years amounts to just $525 billion or a paltry $26 billion a year. But building all the useless renewable farms will supposedly require at least USD 4-6 trillion a year in investments. Sensible investors will notice that it is 200 times as expensive to try to control the weather with windmills as it is to pay for all the current (theoretical) damage. Sadly, nobody is talking about sensible investments. The UN announcement comes dressed up in a headline about the paltry Christmas fantasy payments to the third world. But a few paragraphs in are the “other details” about payments that are larger than most national GDP’s and the naked desire for the UN to be the conduit for the cash. UN COP27 Reaches Breakthrough Agreement on New “Loss and Damage” Fund for Vulnerable Countries[blah, blah, blah] The cover decision, known as the Sharm el-Sheikh Implementation Plan, highlights that a global transformation to a low-carbon economy is expected to require investments of at least USD 4-6 trillion a year. Delivering such funding will require a swift and comprehensive transformation of the financial system and its structures and processes, engaging governments, central banks, commercial banks, institutional investors and other financial actors. So much better to siphon from the centre, eh? Let me be your banker…Think about how obscenely large this claim is in the strangely aptly named Sharm el-Sheikh Implementation Plan. On page 6 we casually find that there are layers of trillions, and despite the enormity of the values, no one bothered to explain if these are different additive trillions or overlapping trillions. And since the first reference has 54 mentions of the word “trillion” it isn’t easy to figure it out either. What does it matter, it’s only money? They might be hoping for ten trillion per annum, with a 6 trillion one off bonus in the next eight years: Highlights that about USD 4 trillion per year needs to be invested in renewable energy up until 2030 to be able to reach net zero emissions by 2050,18 and that, furthermore, a global transformation to a low-carbon economy is expected to require investment of at least USD 4–6 trillion per year;19 Notes with concern the growing gap between the needs of developing country Parties, in particular those due to the increasing impacts of climate change and their increased indebtedness, and the support provided and mobilized for their efforts to implement their nationally determined contributions, highlighting that such needs are currently estimated at USD 5.8–5.9 trillion20 for the pre-2030 period; I defy anyone to explain the difference between a “renewable energy cost” and a furthermore category of… “low carbon global transformation cost”. Will that be $4,000 from every family or $40,000?Only a week ago the UN was asking “rich nations” for well beyond a trillion dollars a year to help the Global South. But even at that bargain price, effectively the UN is demanding $1000 US per annum from every man, woman, pensioner and baby in the West.* How many families of four will be happy to chip in $4,000 US (or $6,000 Australian) every year to build solar farms in Mogadishu is a question no one wants to ask. The bottom line is that the token offering of “loss and damages” to the world’s poor is nothing compared to the dark ambition of being the world’s Treasury and Energy Police. The UN is the enemy. The West conquered communism then gave its’ friends money and an office in Geneva.

A report by 55 vulnerable countries estimated their combined climate-linked losses over the last two decades totalled $525 billion, or 20% of their collective GDP. Some research suggests that by 2030 such losses could reach $580 billion per year. So even with all the exaggeration — with fifty five countries and twenty years of back-claims — the tally amounts to just 26 million per year in damages? “Loss and damages” is a plan to tax the West for bad weather in Somalia or a frost in UruguayIf it ever amounts to anything, nations of the West will just shift money from “foreign aid” baskets and funnel it through the UN to make it even less effective for the world’s poor. It will fatten up corruptocrats in third world enclaves and provide bread and honey for UN hollowmen and junketeers. There will be no incentive for the tin pot nations to build sea-walls, stop erosion or do hazard reduction to stop fires — because the worse the catastrophe is, the more money they can ask for in “losses”. So third world governments will be less accountable for their own incompetence as they blame-shift to the West, but they’ll get more dependent on the UN as sugar-daddy. All in all, it will be a win for creeping communism but a loss for the everyone else. It’s another road to One World Government. Thank the West for releasing all the CO2. Consider it a gift…The West doesn’t need to pay the world for imaginary “climate damage”. CO2 is a net benefit worth billions. It has increased crop yields, and plant growth and helped feed the world, it has thickened the forests, increased mangroves, and reduced desertification (Goklany, 2015). There are 18 million more square kilometers of greenery in the world. (Zaichun, 2016). If the temperatures do increase two degrees, and CO2 hits 700ppm, corn is estimated to grow 25% faster and soy beans will boom by 31%. (Qiao et al 2019) Let’s burn oil and feed the world.  Carbon dioxide fertilization (in ppm, horizontal axes) of C3 crop and C4 weed Nearly nine out of ten islands of 700 Pacific and Indian ocean are growing more than shrinking (Duvat, 2018), and the 11% that are shrinking are so small they have no human inhabitants. Zero. So let’s pay nothing to no one for sea level rises, but send a bill to the islands with extra real estate? What has the West ever done for you?The third world seems happy with cars, trucks, electricity, antibiotics, gas and planes. They like their fertilizer, poly-cotton, concrete, sealed roads and smart phones. The game of retrospective injuries and awards can be played by both sides. “There is no need to pay reparations. Our leadership of the industrial revolution brought prosperity to the world and led to increased life expectancy and better living conditions.” As CO2 grew, the population of Africa expanded from 155 million one hundred years ago to 1,500 million now. A billion more African lives…  … CO2 is a net benefit to life on Earth, and so is the West.

Elon Musk ran a poll on reinstating Donald Trump which was pulling in a million votes an hour at one point. Elon Musk then declared that Donald J Trump’s account will be restored. And it appears to be live, though missing 75 million followers, and Trump himself, who still says he’ll stay on Truth Social. Elon Musk tweeted, “Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” which means “the voice of the people is the voice of God.’  …. It’s is encouraging the vote was evenly split. It suggests Twitter might be able to be able to be a “town square”. However the Corruptocracy that depends on censorship are not finished yet, and an EU spokesman said Musk will have to open his algorithms (did the EU demand this of the last owners?). Thierry Breton the EU’s internal market commissioner said Musk will have to “fly by our rules” and that he will have to increase the number of moderators in Europe. Breton said “we will have control, we will have access, people will no longer be able to say rubbish”. Which means people in the EU will only be able to say or hear what the EU wants. The solution is for countries to leave the EU. November 20th, 2022 | Tags: Free Speech, Twitter | Category: Europe, Free Speech, Global Warming, USA | Print This Post | | .. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) was warning people about the next ice age coming in 1978: The world has cooled for the last 3,000 years. The glaciers have expanded. Temperatures have fallen dramatically in the last 30 years. If we are not prepared for the coming ice age, we’ll see hunger and death on an unprecedented scale…. In the documentary below there is footage of the “perilous state of Buffalo” in 1976/77 when it was hit with savage cold and snow (from about 13 minutes in). Today (in 2022) news is coming in from Buffalo, NY which has just had 5 feet of snow fall. Every 30 years the herd may panic in a different direction…News cycles follow the natural ones (and the money). So at the depths of the cooling from WWII to the 1970s there were ice-age stories. Then came the warming stories, and the IPCC extrapolates a thirty year trend to infinity…  Graph by Syan Akasofu hat tip to Climate Depot

The Big Tech Giants are the ultimate data-siphons cum personalized media outlets. At least in the days of corrupt media players everyone knew what news The Guardian reported. It might be biased, but all Guardian readers got the same news. Not so with the Tech Menaces. They harvest our innermost thoughts and then nudge them “accordingly”. Google is a publishing house not a platform, and the worst most insidious kind, yet it gets immunity the publishing houses don’t get. Robert Epstein has 2.5 million new politically related datapoints from google searches in the US in the lead up to the 2022 election, and he exposes what an unholy PsyOp The Google Monster is. Soon he will have 20,000 voters and children collecting data on the data-collector and reporting its biases for all to see.
How Google Stopped the Red WaveBy Robert Epstein, Epoch Times Epstein is a former editor-in-chief of Psychology Today, and a senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology. Based on my team’s research, Google, and to a lesser extent, Facebook and other tech monopolies, not only took steps to shift millions of votes to Democrats in the midterms… Over a period of months, Google nudged undecided voters toward voting blue by showing people politically biased content in their search engine, suppressing content they didn’t want people to see, recommending left-leaning videos on YouTube (pdf) (which Google owns), allegedly sending tens of millions of emails to people’s spam boxes, and sending go-vote reminders on their home page mainly to liberal and moderate voters. These manipulations (and others) don’t affect voters with strong points of view, but they can have an enormous impact on voters who are undecided (pdf) — the people who decide the outcomes of close elections. … Political advertising by selective omission: We were monitoring the politically related content that Google and other tech companies were showing to actual voters — our politically diverse panel of 2,742 “field agents,” who were located mainly in swing states. In particular, we were tracking what Google employees call “ephemeral experiences” — content that appears briefly, affects people, and then disappears. In 2018, in emails that leaked from the company, Googlers were discussing how they might use ephemeral experiences to change people’s views about Trump’s travel ban. They know how powerful ephemeral experiences can be. That’s one of the most closely held secrets of Google’s management. Ephemeral content is ideal for manipulation purposes. If you get a go-vote reminder on Google’s home page (see the image below for an actual go-vote reminder sent to a liberal voter on Election Day), how would you know whether anyone else was getting it? You wouldn’t, and if you didn’t receive such a reminder, how would you know that anyone else had? He also advises people that Google promotes some conspiracy theories to distract and divide the punters away from the real targets. While this is undoubtedly true to some extent, he pushes far too hard. Presumably he is frustrated watching people fight on so many fronts and wants them all to focus on his battle instead. And it is a big battle. h/t David E … South Australia survived the big scary sunny day yesterday, but had to shut off solar power and throw all those sacred green electrons into a thousand open circuits. Yet again, another spooky voltage spike appeared, suddenly leaping from 245 to 257 volts in less than three minutes and shaking down any impertinent solar panels. That was at 10am. From then on, despite the growing sunlight, the combined solar output of South Australia stayed flat at around 1.2GW. Compare this to last week — before the safety cord to Victoria broke — then, solar generation was peaking at 2.1 GW. So the great renewable wonderland is managing to keep the lights on, but nearly a billion watts of solar power is sitting uselessly on rooftops and in fields every sunny day at lunch time. This is not the cheap and efficient golden path to the future, but the Bolshevik elephant that eats your retirement plans. Despite the oversupply of unreliable generation, yesterday the state was using fossil fuels to supply between 20% and 80% of their electricity. Mark Jessop recorded the voltage and commented: “Lovely sunny day here in islanded SA, which of course means @SAPowerNetworks has bumped up the voltage again.“  Voltage spikes in SA Nov 2022, graph Mark Jessop The question-of-the-day is whether South Australia Power Network (SAPN) is deliberately using voltage spikes to trip off household solar panel inverters, thus stopping the world-saving-photovoltaics from flooding the grid with electricity the system can’t handle. It would be a brutal and rather desperate cowboy tool for grid management. Shame about the surge hitting all those other appliances, eh? But it’s just a little sacrifice on the road to perfect weather. The voltage spike could be due to many solar panels suddenly ramping up production, like, say, a cloud bank lifted off Adelaide at 9.51? For the next four hours after the spike, as the sunlight peaked for the day, the solar production stayed flat seemingly “capped” at 1.2GW. Uncanny how the grid solar farms (red) maintained a constant output… Two years ago, the SA Government knew they were headed for the deep belly of the Duck Curve, where solar midday over-supply threatens grid stability. Rather than stopping people adding more solar panels, the government decided all new solar systems had be able to be remotely disconnected. Naturally this situation, where the owners brain is superceded by a bureaucrat managing a duck was called the Smarter Homes Regulation. But all the panels installed before Sept 2020 can’t be turned off by the government, and were thus rogue operators that possibly needed to be shaken out with voltage shocks. South Australia is a forward scout of where Australia will be soonThe big test of South Australia’s “renewable grid” yesterday is like a road test of our renewable future. It showed that without the help of the other states to keep the frequency stable, the massive solar influx at midday is largely unmanageable unless the Minister of Electricity controls your solar panels, and everyone is happy to pay for hi-tech equipment that sits around neutered on a sunny day. The Australian grid is permanently “Islanded” by virtue of being an island. There is no one to rescue us. In theory, it would take $90 billion dollars worth of batteries to stabilize the South Australian grid, and that’s only 6% of the national one, so we’re doing a trillion dollar experiment here with no life raft. Three more days to go! The big interconnector to the rest of the network will not be fixed now until Sunday evening.

Most info soon. … The biggest blackout has hit South Australia since the statewide crash of 2016. It’s due to a weather calamity, but the renewables state is struggling to keep the frequency stable for a whole week without the rest of the national grid to lean on. This time they have the back up generation, but they’re going to great lengths now to stop the surges from solar and wind — there’s no where to dispose of excess electricity… On Saturday afternoon a storm system blitzed out 423,000 lightning strikes and brought down some 500 lines, including the Heywood interconnector that joins South Australia (SA) to Victoria. That is out of action until Friday, so for a whole week the Star Renewables State of South Australia is on its own — Islanded from the national grid. The test is here, and right now at 6am they’re running on 80% fossil fuels and 18% wind, plus millions of dollars has been spent on frequency control, and they’re trying to turn off the solar panels. The storm caused blackouts affecting 163,000 customers or roughly 18% of the state. Power was restored for most within hours, but there were still 35,000 properties without electricity on Monday, and some still out tonight (late Tuesday). So the fragile grid teeters on. But the first thing the renewable energy star state had to do was dump their solar power because it threatened to push the system over. The highest risk moment they are worried about now is midday Thursday, because it looks like being a sunny day. Oh, the woe! Too much solar power for grid stability?At the time the tower fell about 400MW of electricity was flowing out of SA into Victoria. But afterwards there was suddenly an oversupply of energy in SA that couldn’t go anywhere and the frequency surged far outside the normal range. Not only did SA Power Networks (SAPN) cut off all the panels that they could remotely control, but they even put out a facebook plea for South Australians to manually disconnect their own panels — something Paul McArdle of WattClarity doesn’t think he has ever seen before. Indeed the idea has been floated that SAPN may be sending voltage spikes down the line specifically to trigger the automatic cut-off’s and trip the solar panels. It’s not clear if this is the case, so it may be something else, but people are reporting voltage spikes of 255V or higher and lasting for four hours and McArdle asked the question. Mark Jessop has noted that: ‘SAPN appears to be increasing line voltages to cause PV inverters to trip out. Interesting decision, but I’m not sure what other options they would have (probably not enough systems which are remotely controllable yet).’ Below is a suspicious voltage jump on Monday, with Mark Jessop saying that “even though it was cloudy today I guess there was enough generation for @SAPowerNetworks to have to do the voltage step thing again…”  Voltage surges in SA | Mark Jessop If it is deliberate it would be a Wild West story in grid “control”. We know high voltages above 253 trip out solar panels, but they also damage other appliances too. If they need to create “demand” they could always ask everyone to turn their air conditioners and ovens on at midday? Dear South Australians, help the state and press Go on your pyrolytic ovens at noon…. This has left some solar power owners feeling somewhat vexed and perplexed and downright deflated — they’re sitting in the dark, and with a Tesla powerwall, yet they can’t use their solar panels at all and their neighbors have the lights on with diesel generators… It’s a long thread of comments on Facebook… (for anyone with a Tesla battery, apparently you can switch it to “off grid mode” in a blackout.) And some people thought solar panels meant they were less dependent on the grid, but it turns out the grid controllers were just renting their roof space. One of the lessons in this experience is what happens when the renewable states can’t dump their excess power in the state next door. When every state is in the same boat, and all running unreliable renewables, they will all still need complete back up and the ability to switch off your solar panels. This week, frequency is everything in South AustraliaSouth Australia struggles to keep the frequency stable after they are disconnected with the bigger and more stable Australian grid. Thanks to Dan Lee at WattClarity: this was the first hour of frequency gyrations:  South Australia was really struggling to control the frequency of the grid after the Islanding. Allan O”Neill notes the astonishing prices in the Frequency Control Ancillary Service (FCAS) market. FCAS driving the island?So here we see that all that FCAS volatility since separation has driven big chunks of revenue for suppliers in the region…
Keeping the grid stable is earning good money for some. In the chart below the batteries like Hornsdale or Dalrymple are bringing in big dollars but not producing much in the way of megawatts. The gas generators are obvious because they are… generating. So wholesale prices for electricity haven’t gone through the roof this week in SA (much) but gas generators are making money in FCAS payments to keep the grid stable. That’s a nice $400 – $900 /MWh for them. Not too shabby. But a killer for the customers, and a hopeless long term solution.
But clearly South Australia isn’t remotely ready to cut the cord and go 100% renewable either. Once upon a time no one needed an FCAS market because we had so many giant turbines. Now we have almost as many giant turbines, but we also have a whole lot of small unreliable generators too. Twice the infrastructure! We don’t need the unreliables, and if we cut them out we wouldn’t need the FCAS market either. h/t TonyfromOz Keep reading → November 16th, 2022 | Tags: Blackouts, Electricity Grids, SA (South Australia), Transmission lines | Category: Global Warming, Renewable | Print This Post | | …
A new Covid wave is upon us, but the endless vaccine rush is over. The dog isn’t barking. As of last week, almost no one in Australia is eligible for the fifth dose. Even the old and vulnerable are not being told to get another dose. This is the end of two years of non-stop push. “Access to antivirals is more important” say the experts for the first time, and it appears people practically need to be a transplant patient or on chemo to be able to get jab number five. Health department says fifth COVID-19 vaccine doses not being recommended for most people amid rising casesThe Department of Health says fifth doses of a COVID-19 vaccine are not currently being recommended for most people. Health authorities have warned a new wave of COVID-19 is beginning to make its way through the community and currently, only adults with a severely compromised immune system are eligible for a fifth dose. So they’re finally catching up with what the deplorable bloggers like I have been saying since March 2020, antivirals were always less risky, easier to test, and cheaper to make. Though, of course, our government health bodies are still profit machines for large pharmaceutical corporations. They’re not promoting the cheapest, safest antivirals — only the Big-Pharma-friendly kind that are still under patents, and which siphon vast funds from our taxpayer pharmaceutical scheme. They are effectively saying that the boosters are useless, or even worse than useless, without having the honesty to say so. They must be a bit worried. Finally they’re going to stop the under 30s from getting the fourth jab because of “side effects”: But Professor Allen Cheng, former co-chair and current member of the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI), told The Sydney Morning Herald on Saturday that it was likely the current vaccine schedule would remain as is, given the heightened risk of heart inflammation in young people. “A 30-year-old with … three doses will be optimally protected.” He added, “Vaccinations are beneficial and protective even for younger people but the more doses you get, the less benefit you derive from them and then we start to worry about causing side effects.” It’s a weasel grade Psy-OpEverything about the PR language is packaged with a dose of literary Valium. The mantra lines are all the same, they’ve just swapped the word vaccine for antiviral. Now we’re bragging that “Australians have one of the best antiviral uptakes in the world”. (As if the hapless punters in the streets have much say in their prescriptions, were racing to get there, and even knew there was a race?). Are we proud of our druggieness now, or our obedience? At no point do they say ATAGI have decided the fourth dose is dangerous to young adults, instead someone who used to work there has conveniently leaked out that the “under 30s are unlikely to get approval”. It’s as if the under thirties are champing at the bit to get more doses and ATAGI is just being restrained and sensible, eh? The mantras of the last two years are still there: “At the moment ATAGI’s firm statement remains that people should remain up to date with their vaccination. “And based on the advice we have an older person who has stayed up to date and has had the fourth dose still has great protection against severe disease. And vaccinees have such great protection, that they apparently need antivirals too… High uptake in antivirals important, says health secretaryHealth Department secretary Professor Brendan Murphy said access to antivirals for the elderly is likely more important than getting a fifth vaccine dose. “We are seeing a very significant uptake now that this wave’s started in antiviral use,” he said. “If you’ve had four doses and you’re an old person who is vulnerable, it is probably a more important thing to get access to antivirals than to consider another dose for which the evidence is not very strong. “We have one of the best antiviral uptakes in the world. “It’s one of the best markers we have of the pandemic, once cases go up antiviral use goes up.” And the illusion of our personal control of our health continues. Talk of an “uptake” of antivirals implies the minions have a say over their own healthcare when they still can’t go to their doctor and ask for the treatments they want, and they were never allowed to buy an Australian designed less risky protein vaccine.

Welcome to Dystopia-World, where the real battle is the struggle to get legal votes counted in the richest nation on Earth. The Arizona slow-roll debacle should have the people in the streets… Meanwhile, the Democrats don’t want to face Donald Trump again, but they are not the only ones. “The list of people lining up against Trump right now is simply an indicator of how large of a threat he remains to the globalist elite.” says Jenna Ellis. Steven Mosher makes the case that it’s not Trump but the McLeadership of the Republicans who are to blame for any midterm results. Most of the Senate and House Republican campaigns were not run by Trump, but by the McLeaders — Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and Ronna Romney McDaniel Speaking of McConnell, there are shipping-lanes of connections between Mitch McConnell and China. Just in case anyone has forgotten what a deep swamp the core of US politics is, ponder that there is also one foreign communist government that would be especially happy if Trump doesn’t run in 2024. How much influence does it have over media moguls, tech giants and Mitch McConnell? Steven Mosher, LifeSiteNews GOP McLeadership – McConnell, McCarthy, McDaniel – failed the party, not TrumpAs the former president himself noted, smiling broadly, “I deserve full credit for every win, and no blame for any loss.” The mainstream media mocked him for saying this, but it is in fact true. Consider all the ways in which President Trump helped over the past 18 months to get Republican candidates over the finish line:
That was what Trump did. This is what the McLeaders did: Republican senatorial candidates in battleground states were often outspent five- or 10-to-1 by their Democrat opponents this election cycle. The disparities are staggering:
A bit like sabotage… But McConnell has not only failed to support Republican candidates in key Senate races, he has actively worked against them. The clearest evidence of betrayal comes from Alaska, where the local Republican Party in 2021 censured Senator Lisa Murkowski and instead endorsed Kelly Tsibaka as their candidate. But it gets worse. In the closing months of the campaign, McConnell took money previously committed to the campaigns of Masters and Bolduc and sent some to his hand-picked Senate candidate in Colorado, Joe O’Dea. That is to say, he sacrificed two MAGA candidates in close races to a self-declared Anti-Trump Republican Establishment candidate who had no chance of winning. Democrats prefer to face DeSantis rather than Trump in 2024 Ron was, far and away, the best funded of the Republican candidates. He raised some $200 million, with almost all coming in the form of large donations from the Republican establishment and Wall Street, far more than he needed for the governor’s race. He was further helped by the fact that the Democrats pulled a “McConnell” in the months before the election, pulling out their funding and effectively bankrupting the campaigns of their own candidates for governor and senator. With its virtual celebration of DeSantis’ victory, the Left has made clear that it would much rather face DeSantis in 2024 than Donald Trump. The left-wing propaganda outfit formerly known as The New York Times, for example, has declared that the Florida governor is now the front-runner in 2024. Trump is the big threat to the Uniparty ruleAll this below about Mitch McConnell’s connection to China is legal, publicly available information, but that in itself, shocked me more than the naked potential conflict of interest did. I wrote this in Jan 5th 2021 — just the day before the armless “insurrection” on Capitol Hill, a credit to Peter Schweizer’s research. If McConnell wasn’t liked by the media, every time he talked about Trump or China they would introduce him as the Senator who married into a Chinese Shipping Magnates family… Mitch McConnell’s rich connection with Chinaby Jo Nova, Jan 2021  Mitch McConnell and his wife Elaine Chao Mitch McConnell is a powerbroker of the US Senate, but he’s also a guy whose in-laws own a major shipping company that buys container ships from a Chinese Government company. The in-laws make money from carrying goods back and forward in deals with Chinese State Owned companies. McConnell’s wife is a Chinese-American and also happens to be The Transportation Secretary of the US Government (or was when this was written!). Since Elaine Chao took up that job four years earlier, her fathers company has expanded rapidly and has added 40 percent more ships. Her father, James Chao, is a shipping magnate that gave his daughter and her husband McConnell a gift of at least $5 million in 2008. That’s the conservative estimate — it might have been worth as much as $25 million dollars. (Nice in-laws if you can get them.) The largess was legally disclosed. The net worth of the political couple went from $3m in 2004 to something between $9 and $36m by 2018. The Chinese Ship building company is called CSSC Holdings. McConnell’s wife’s family is so close to it that both her father and her sister sit on the Board of the financial arm of this Chinese company they buy boats from. It’s odd, stacked on weird, wrapped up in long explanations. CSSC is not just a boat building company, it’s the Chinese government’s military contractor. Indeed, the letters CSSC stand for the China State Shipbuilding Corporation. Get it? In another odd coincidence, just ten days after Donald Trump was elected in 2016, Elaine Chao’s sister Angela was appointed to another board of Directors — the Communist Chinese government’s Bank of China. McConnells wife Elaine Chao and her father-the-shipping-magnate are lauded in China and do interviews on Chinese TV in Chinese. They are promoted as “lifting the status of Asian-Americans in America” often with little Dept of Transport flags in the background. This probably doesn’t do any harm to James Chao’s business. Perhaps the oddest thing of all is that all this information came out in 2018. That’s when Peter Schweizer’s best selling book was published and the news was shared in Politico the Wall St Journal, and Breitbart among other places. Yet, Mitch McConnell is still the man elected … Worth watching: Raheem Kassam talks to Jenna Ellis Kassam is editor of the National Pulse, worked within UKIP, and was adviser to Nigel Farage. Jenna Ellis was on Trump’s legal team. They talk about the Trump versus DeSantis stoush and the dark role of the media. Ezra Levant –@ezralevant
