1) A small example thread using biofuel ideology to explain.

msn.com/en-gb/news/wor…
2) Boris Johnson has proposed dropping biofuel mandates as an approach to quickly produce more food for people. Germany agrees but Joe Biden is blocking.

msn.com/en-gb/news/wor…
3) In the U.S. the Biden administration has mandated (they call it a waiver, but that's a misnomer) that ethanol must increase from 10% to 15% for use in gasoline. That's the E15 "waiver."
4) All gasoline refineries must prove they are using the biofuel by sending receipts for their purchase. These are called purchase credits (known as Renewable Identification Numbers, or RINs).

The purchase receipts or RIN credits must be sent to the EPA.
5) Any gasoline refinery that does not use E15 must purchase these RIN credits from parties that blended or imported biofuels directly.

This sets up a secondary income stream, a trading market for the larger oil companies, refineries and importers.
6) E15 requires a complete change in the infrastructure of the gasoline company from the refinery to storage, to transportation and eventually to the retailer.

E15 infrastructure does not widely exist. So, most gasoline refineries use the RIN credit system to sell non E15 gas.
7) The price of the RIN credits becomes embedded in the price of the gasoline.

When a mandate for E15 year-round is in place, that drives up the cost of gasoline, because more RIN credits need to be purchased. (Current Biden policy)
8) Think of it this way. Metaphor: The govt requires that margarine be used instead of butter in making bread.

The bread makers do not have equipment that will support the use of margarine instead of butter (and the bread customer does not want margarine). Image
9) The govt gives the bread maker the option of paying $1 to the USDA for not using margarine and to continue using butter.

The bread maker is forced to make a decision. Change equipment ($$$) or pay $1 to govt for each continued loaf of bread using butter.
10) The result of bread makers not switching to margarine means each loaf of bread now costs an additional $1 to you the customer.

This bread example is analogous to the RIN credit gasoline refinery issue with biofuels.
11) Mandating increased use of biofuels for gasoline is one part of the climate change agenda. ie. The Green New Deal and/or 'Build Back Better' policy agenda. ImageImage
12) Mandating increased use of biofuels also means farmland used for human food production is now switched to create biofuel.

PM Johnson proposed dropping this approach in order to quickly produce more food with a pending global food shortage looming.

msn.com/en-gb/news/wor…
13) Justin Trudeau (Canada) and Joe Biden (USA) blocked the approach to increase food production, saying the climate change agenda is more important than feeding people. ImageImage
14) NATO and Western Govt, led by the policy of Joe Biden have placed oil and gas sanctions against Russia.

Those U.S-led Russian energy sanctions follow similar sanctions already in place against oil and gas from Iran and Venezuela.
15) Simultaneously the G7, Western Alliance will not allow Africa to develop their own use of natural gas to produce fertilizer to increase crop yield/harvest.

The G7 control food production in Africa by controlling the energy company investment needed to manufacture fertilizer.
16) Again, as with the biofuel issue, the G7 and Western Alliance are prioritizing Climate Change energy policy over food production. Which will ultimately cause food shortages and famine. Image
17) However, now the "WEST" has an ideological problem.

People will figure this out. The absence of food will change things. People will get angry once they realize the absence of food is being caused by Western Govt prioritizing Climate Change over people. Image
18) Things will get intense. Things will get ugly. The Western "leaders" need a scapegoat, a way to focus the world's anger away from them... and toward something else.
19) Their already visible plan (Kirby example) is to place the blame here 👇 Image
20) When the food shortage becomes serious, I mean when it really becomes serious, the blame escalation will need to increase in direct proportion to the hunger, famine and starvation.

This means they will need a direct war with Russia. ImageImage
21) All of this "globally," which includes the energy driven inflation surfacing in the nations participating in the Build Back Better energy policy approach, is being driven by nations in Yellow.👇

This is the geopolitical battle, a narrative war, ahead of the looming hot war. Image

1.) As DNI Mrs Tulsi Gabbard has:

♦ chased down intelligence community leakers,
♦ released the JFK files,
♦ released Joe Biden’s domestic terrorism surveillance plan,
♦ intercepted an NIC plot to impeach President Trump (confirmed by Rubio),
♦ taken control of the Presidential Daily Briefing,
♦ and more recently begun to confront the weaponized corruption within the IC Inspector General organization.

These are actions, not words, and those actions speak boldly.  Suffice to say, her effectiveness has placed a target on her back.
2) Chased down intel community leakers.

3) Released the JFK files and released the Joe Biden domestic terrorist surveillance program.

1. At sporadic times of inconsequential normalcy, on the streets of Russia you will see two distinct types of people asked for identification, Asians and middle eastern males. When asked why, the average, ordinary grey-person in Russia going about their business, ambivalently has no idea.

Russia is a massive country.

To the southeast they are bordered by China, Mongolia and Asia, they even have a small border with North Korea. To the southwest they have the “stans,” most notably Kazakhstan; this region is the source of most domestic terrorists who attack inside Russia. To the West they have Ukraine and the EU nations.

From the standpoint of Russia, they have Asians on their East, Turks/Arabs on their South and EU supported Nazis on their Western flank.

Keep in mind, despite the breakup of the Soviet Union the muscle memory from World War II is still very much a part of their social compact.Image
2. Consider Arlington Cemetary for scale. If you were to build an Arlington type cemetery for all the Russians killed in World War II, the 27 million gravesites would envelop a landmass bigger than Washington DC. These realities underpin Russian perspectives.

Russia is drawn into an alignment with China not by desire, but rather by necessity.  Most ordinary Russians do not like China, and they would prefer not to purchase Chinese industrial or manufactured goods.  Russian President Vladimir Putin is well aware of this, and I believe U.S. President Donald Trump is aware also.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said publicly it should be U.S. policy to support separating the two biggest nuclear powers, China and Russia as a matter of strategic U.S. interest.  President Trump said, “I’m going to have to un-unite them, and I think I can do that, too,” shortly before his election in November. “I have to un-unite them.”

In a very downplayed statement earlier this year generally hidden/ignored by media, the former Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and current Secretary of State -also National Security Advisor- Marco Rubio, said “Ukraine was a proxy war for the United States against Russia.”  Despite the U.S. media intentionally hiding the statement, Moscow immediately noticed and affirmed the accuracy.Image
3. Ukraine launched a covert attack against Russian air force bases last Sunday June 1st.  President Trump was not informed of the attack in advance and was unaware it was going to take place.  In the aftermath, President Trump and Secretary Rubio stayed quiet.

Three days after the attack, Wednesday, June 4, President Trump held a 90-minute phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Last week the New York Times received “an eight-page internal F.S.B. planning document” … “that sets priorities for fending off Chinese espionage.”

[…] Ares Leaks, a cybercrime group, obtained the document but did not say how it did so. That makes definitive authentication impossible, but The Times shared the report with six Western intelligence agencies, all of which assessed it to be authentic. The document gives the most detailed behind-the-scenes view to date of Russian counterintelligence’s thinking about China.

[…] Russia has survived years of Western financial sanctions following the invasion, proving wrong the many politicians and experts who predicted the collapse of the country’s economy.

[…] The Russian document describes a “tense and dynamically developing” intelligence battle in the shadows between the two outwardly friendly nations.

[…] Read one way, the F.S.B. document lends credence to the theory that, with the right approach, Russia can be cleaved away from China. The document describes mistrust and suspicion on both sides of the relationship."

From the New York trade court ruling:

"...[...] in 1962, Congress delegated to the President the power to take action to adjust imports when the Secretary of Commerce finds that an “article is being imported into the United States in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security.” Trade Expansion Act of 1962, Pub. L. No. 87-794, § 232(b), 76 Stat. 872, 877 (codified as amended at 19 U.S.C. § 1862(c)(1)(A)). This delegation is conditioned upon an investigation and findings by the Secretary of Commerce, and agreement by the President. See id. Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, requires that the U.S. Trade Representative (“USTR”) take action, which may include imposing tariffs, where “the rights of the United States under any trade agreement are being denied” or “an act, policy, or practice of a foreign country” is “unjustifiable and burdens or restricts United States commerce.” 19 U.S.C. § 2411(a)(1)(A)–(B). The USTR may impose duties also where the USTR determines that “an act, policy, or practice of a foreign country is unreasonable or discriminatory and burdens or restricts United States commerce.” Id. § 2411(b)(1). This power is conditioned on extensive procedural requirements including an investigation that culminates in an affirmative finding that another country imposed unfair trade barriers under § 2411(a)(1)(A) or (B) or § 2411(b), and a public notice and comment period. See id. § 2414(b)."...

This is one reason why the ruling can be overturned. The Sec 301/302 investigation was completed by the USTR, with extensive citation.

NY Court citation:

cit.uscourts.gov/sites/cit/file…

USTR Citation 400 pages:

ustr.gov/sites/default/…Image
The court literally ignored the USTR investigation, AND the Dept of Commerce review and investigation of the same based on the USTR published findings.

This ruling will not pass inspection by a higher court, and as to the motive of the 3-judge panel.... follow the $$$, there are trillions at stake.

This is a ruling to the benefit of the multinationals.Image

1. The original agreement between Clinton and Obama going back to 2008 was for Obama to take the nomination, the presidency and then eventually support Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election bid. 

Obama would be President. Obama would appoint Clinton to Secretary of State, Hillary would then use her office to build wealth for herself and her family, and then HRC would exit the Dept of State to begin her presidential run.

John Podesta would enter the Obama administration as Hillary left in 2013.  Podesta would look out for Hillary’s interests from his position inside the Obama White House.  The Clintons and Obamas never fully trusted each other. 

Barack Obama would put all the mechanisms into place that would transition his administration into Hillary Clintons’.  That was always the plan running in the background.Image
2. In 2015 Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama had a check-in meeting; just touching base to firm up the goals and objectives as Hillary began her campaign launch.  Podesta left the White House to take up position inside the campaign, and Team Obama would maintain Clinton’s interests as planned without an insider.

All of President Obama’s appointments in after 2015, were essentially through the prism of assisting Hillary Clinton to win in 2016.  Attorney General Loretta Lynch (tarmac meeting), Deputy AG Sally Yates, Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and FBI Director James Comey were all part of that.

This is a key point missed by many. In the last two years of Obama, the cabinet and top-tier members of the administration would align their institutional interests to that of Hillary Clinton.

Technically Hillary had eyes and ears all over the White House at the time, and with Hillary Clinton being a foregone conclusion per the expectations of Washington DC, everyone would fall in line during the transition from Obama to Clinton. 

Again, this was the general plan.  Obama would show up in 2016 to campaign for Hillary and all would be seamless.Image
3. The FBI was aware of the plan for transition from Obama to Clinton, hence their role in eliminating the threat later presented by the Clinton, as Secretary of State, laptop scandal and the subsequent issues of classified information. 

Remember, Clinton’s motive as Secretary of State was to sell her position for material wealth; that’s why she used a personal email, maintained her own servers, and generally controlled how her activity could be monitored and tracked. [Also, she didn’t fully trust Obama]

The FBI activity was to support, defend and facilitate the Clinton effort. This is again a key to understanding "Russiagate"...

After March 2016 (Super Tuesday) it became obvious Donald Trump was going to win the Republican nomination. Trump would be Clinton's opponent.

Using access to the NSA database, the U.S. Govt., specifically "FBI Contractors", began doing political surveillance of Donald Trump's campaign. This intel was then sent to the Clinton team. Clinton would benefit from knowing the communication inside the Trump campaign. All of that intel was in the metadata captured by the NSA and searched by the FBI contractors.

All of this activity was political surveillance, using govt resources to feed the Clinton team the info.Image

1. OK lawyers, hear me out on my plan to address lower court 'nationwide injunctions' (or TROs) and tell me the flaw.

How about, before any lower court can issue a "nationwide" injunction, they have to get permission or approval from the SCOTUS Justice that presides over that region?Image
2. That singular justice decision (if approved) is then scheduled for a full SCOTUS review every-other-Friday.

[They can work out the communication structure by themselves, even using skype or similar]

Any nationwide injunction issued -hopefully fewer- would be approved by a SCOTUS justice, and then eventually reviewed by the full court.
3. Yes, that means some DEI justices (Sotomayor, Jackson, Kagan), would likely approve regional injunctions. However, the ruling only applies to that region, not nationally.... Until full court approval.

Yes, in the issue of criminal illegal aliens, it essentially means that some regions would be unsafe as deportation processes would be stalled, while in the other regions the repatriation could continue without the TRO applying.Image
