🚨🚨L.A., like WNC, ARE ONLY THE BEGINNING as The Strategic Plan to Relocate Americans Is NOW FULLY FUNDED - How Cultural Marxism Became Federal Policy
L.A. County was the beta test for U.N. funded policies, implemented in 2021 by the Biden administration, throughout the "whole-of-government."
In early 2020, the L.A. County CEO announced that racism was a public health emergency. In order to eliminate structural and institutional racism, the County implemented the ARDI (Anti-Racism Development Initiative) zoning and planning strategy.
According to the County, this framework would push the envelope on the County's authority, and then "collaborate" with private equity and NGOs to achieve ideological outcomes—leveraging private entities to implement what the County legally could not...
Sound familiar?
"The issue brief to follow is one such effort to broaden the discussion by focusing on private, philanthropic, and nonprofit sector engagement in the relocation of American communities displaced by climate change." - The Atlantic Council Report 2017
Framers proudly boasted that ARDI would guide National best practices as the strategic plan and policy agendas were implemented over time.
Skipping past the bs, the entire plan boils down to city planning, zoning, and building codes.
For anyone living this nightmare, I don't need to explain what this means for you. For everyone else, however, here's what that looks like:
1. Your state is prone to xyz disaster that your local government typically prepares for. Only, post-covid, NO MONEY went back into preparation
2. Once your state inevitably experiences xyz disaster (hurricane, fire, earthquake, geyser, snow storm, tornado, etc), and your home is leveled, and the following takes place:
- You're not allowed to rebuild due to land use restrictions
- You're given the option to live on your property in temporary/mobile housing, OR
- Sell your property to the Federal government - who recently determined appraisals and "fair market" valuations are unnecessary - at which time you'll maybe get a fraction of your home value. 3. While you're confused and distracted, you'll quickly find out that you do not meet the equity requirements for aid, AND while your home no longer exists the Biden administration required your insurance company to add hazard insurance to your mortgage. More pressure to sell... 4. You'll own nothing and be happy, or else... Or else what? Look at the recent mental health policies for institutionalization, Healthy People 2030, or One Health...
Land use is everything, and it's been centralized to the Federal level through contractually obligated County/City-level grants, allocated through the Inflation Reduction Act, the American Rescue Plan, and the Infrastructure and Jobs Act.
The best case scenario is that this plan is dismantled and the NGOs that ended up with trillions going into 2026 can somehow be stopped from relocating affected populations into "resilient cities," AKA SMART CITIES...
However, the trillions allocated to NGOs was done to ensure compliance:
"Such a program could move communities forward in the absence of federal action on climate change by providing the resources to design, develop, and implement a relocation strategy with concrete milestones." atlanticcouncil.org/in-depth-resea…

I don't understand why nobody is talking about the policies and rule changes that have been implemented to relocate Americans? It's like everyone is talking around the elephant in the room. Why?

🧵Grok is quite impressive. I've been feeding Grok my policy research on current land use rules for development. After running several tests to make sure the AI is capable of analyzing policies properly, I asked it to generate a map of the United States in the year 2050 using the same legend parameters as an EGIS Map created by Congressional Research in 2004.
🟩 Areas in green light-dark represent Conservation Reserves with limited human use, dark green represents no human use
🟥 Areas in red represent Military Installations
🟧 Areas in orange represent mining contracts and Dept. Of Interior leases for drilling, fracking, wind, and solar.

🚨🧵Important Thread! NOW, I'll Add Context from Current Policies in order to Concretize the Concept...
Over the last 4 years, under Biden/Harris, a "whole-of-government" approach to running the country has been centralized under the Executive branch of the President. Both the legislative and judicial branches have lost their co-equal authority as power has been unlawfully centralized within the unofficial 4th branch of government- the administrative state.
The risk of the "pendulum swing" today would mean a Trump administration using this centralized authority rather than decentralizing that stolen authority back to the state and local levels.
A prime example of this can see be seen in the policy/rule change notices published this month by the USDA's FNS program. The FNS budget includes WIC, TANF, SNAP - otherwise known as "welfare" - or EBT payments.
Over the last 4 years, Biden/Harris have attached arbitrary metrics and behavioral benchmarks for welfare recipients to keep receiving payments, such as adherence to Title IX, Healthy People 2030, One Health goals and so forth...
The latest public notices seek to "reduce administrative time" by using the A.I Risk Assessment tools of a private corporation out of Silicone Valley. The RA tool would reduce the size of the staff at the FNS, as it would quickly identify "overpayments" and generate letters to prosecute in under 8 minutes-decision letters upon challenge would take 5 minutes- finding of guilt would take 1 minute.
Aside from the public appearance of fiscal responsibility (reducing the size of the administrative state), these actions merely alter bureaucratic authoritarianism to technocratic authoritarianism as these A.I tools combine Medicaid data and "private restricted use data" to create an interoperable smart contract that will determine what people are allowed to buy with their food stamps and public assistance.
One example given relates to insulin use, another relates to tdap vaccines in pregnancy, another objective lists the adult vaccination schedule etc- all of which work towards the Risk Assessment scoring for repayment and disqualification.
It should also be noted that the FY 2025 ICD-10 Codes for billing Medicaid have been updated to support this new interoperable approach to "Healthy People 2030."
In summary, @ConceptualJames is appropriately warning Americans that sizable forces are at work, and a Trump POTUS victory tomorrow will not automatically stop communism. This is an apt warning for Americans to remain vigilant and involved after the election to ensure these forces do not continue advancing authoritarianism through different talking points (such as reducing the size of the administrative state by implementing A.I tools).
The ONLY thing that will actually preserve our freedom in this country is to decentralize authority back to the local level, while rebuilding the clear boundaries that separate the co-equal powers of the federal and state governments.
*All information provided above was sourced from FNS public notices published to the Federal Register. I'll add screenshots of the tiles below.
Beginning on 04/04/2023 Tomeka Owens the SNAP administrator, published a notice of intent to streamline information between SNAP and Medicaid for "identifying and describing systems used by States to determine eligibility and manage SNAP and Medicaid application and recertification information."

🚨🚨🚨The Sunrise Movement Strikes Again—using "the full force of the federal government" to end private property rights.🚨🚨🚨
FEMA's latest rule change, finalized on September 9, 2024 - days before Helene hit - prevents homeowners from rebuilding yet provides zero compensation for this federalist taking/rezoning of residential areas as wetland projects.
This administrative rule change stems from the Sunrise Movement's role in the Biden/Harris WH, which seeks to expand "public" lands.
In case you missed it, there's ONLY 5 reasons why FEMA will help rebuild public facilities - "FEMA shall take no action unless and until the requirements of this regulation are complied with" - and private homes do NOT make the cut:
1. If an estimate, created by FEMA, using the "Climate-Informed Science Approach" calculator determines the total cost of repairs is LESS THAN $364,000 total, AND FEMA determines its liable for less than 50% of that $364k total. This only applies to public "facilities" such as police, fire, city hall, roads, bridges etc... Government property.
2) The facility is not located in the newly zoned floodplain or a coastal high hazard area; 3) The facility is not a new structure, and meets the criteria for a historic building (for public benefit); 4) The facility has not been rebuilt as the result of sustained structural damage in a previous Presidentially declared flooding disaster area or emergency; and 5) The facility is not a hospital, generating plant, emergency operations center, or a facility that contains dangerous materials).
FEMA "intends" to provide assistance for the restoration of these facilities, roads, culverts, and bridges to their pre-disaster condition, but ONLY IF new climate-smart building codes are adhered too.
For everything, and everyone else, relocation is eminent as FEMA is now declaring that .1% floodplains are effectively wetlands—the two words are used interchangeably.
Going forward, these floodplain areas will be rewilded and restored back to nature to the greatest extent practicable as new federally protected wetlands.
IF you have flood insurance through FEMA's NFIP, the same exact zoning requirements apply. Policy holders should review the "how high, how wide" rule changes and check to see if rebuilding in place is even possible or not...
According to SC Senator Tim Scott, during a Jan. 25, 2024 hearing:
"The program is financially insolvent with over $20 billion in debt,” Scott said. “Instead of educating communities and homeowners on the risks they face, the program’s outdated flood maps and lack of transparent data often obscures the risks.”
"The NFIP pays out about 30% of its 'resources' to roughly 1% of 'properties that consistently and repeatedly are flood victims again and again and again,'” Scott said. floods.org/news-views/pol…
Amid this federal taking, it's unclear where people are supposed to go, or how they'll be compensated for the inability to rebuild or pay off a mortgage on a home no longer standing—as homeowners insurance does not cover losses due to hurricane or natural disaster flooding.
Worse, in June of 2022, the Federal Banking Agencies issued a Force Placement directive for flood insurance that requires loan servicers to add the cost of flood insurance onto the escrow amount of a mortage when private property is the collateral backing the loan. This means that the Biden/Harris Sunrise administration requires banks to purchase NFIP (FEMA) insurance and charge homeowners for the cost, IF a lapse occurs in flood insurance at ANY time during the loan, OR, IF the private property is mapped into a floodplain!!! See next post
ecfr.gov/current/title-…
The new Federal Banking Agencies "Force Placement" rule change requires loan servicers to purchase flood insurance through FEMA within 45 days of the area being remapped into a floodplain.
This new rule tacks on exorbitant fees to the principal balance of a loan for property owners who may not be capable of even remaining, or rebuilding.
THIS is the ultimate catch 22! Homeowners/property owners will be stuck paying off their loans and the insane expense of FEMA flood insurance - regardless of the property's existence - or face foreclosure.
So much for "getting rid of junk fees." I have a feeling we're about to see foreclosures and bankruptcy as a result... oscis.com/wp-content/upl…

🧵Blanding, Utah- Gaming Mineral Extraction from Native Reservations
@iamlisalogan is right! Biden/Harris literally picked up, on day 1, where Obama left off and immediately set about using the operative word "Resiliency" to initiate the largest LAND GRAB and SMART City resettlement plan in American history.
"During his first week in office, President Joe Biden issued Executive Order 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad. Section 223 of EO 14008 established the Justice40 Initiative, which directs 40% of the overall benefits of certain federal investments."... to Disadvantaged Communities or DACs... See full list in photo 3
This "SMART" plan for resiliency, come to find out, ALSO involves the exploitation of Indigenous Tribes, as reservation lands (like those outside of Blanding, Utah), hold 40 of the 50 most important rare earth minerals that must be extracted to achieve "Climate Justice" or the "green energy transition."
Sure, Tribes would lose their sovereignty, and private corporations would be allowed to profit off their mineral resources, but it's being done under the heading of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. So, the fact that Tribes would maybe get jobs, public transportation, childcare, and broadband internet in exchange, is what the Biden/Harris administration considers equity under Justice40—investing into "Disadvantaged Communities."
"When an applicant is selected, their Community Benefits Plan will be part of the contractual obligation of the funding recipient." energy.gov/justice/justic…
Acceptance of federal grants contractually obligates grant recipients to abide by federal land use, zoning, and planning—giving the POTUS centralized authority over local jurisdiction and private property!
In this video, you'll see a mineral extraction NGO - given deference by the Biden/Harris administration to game out rare earth mineral extraction from the Ute Tribe's reservation outside of Blanding,Utah - proudly discuss a game they've devised for "stakeholder engagement." Only, none of the representative "stakeholders" were Ute. youtu.be/6iSRQqLNVu0?si…
The game is meant to help develop a Community Benefits Plan for Blanding, Utah. This proof of concept allows private industries to request federal grants throughout the "whole of government," meaning EVERY SINGLE administrative agency operating under the President has a grant fund going to these SMART Resiliency projects—from FEMA, to the USDA, DOE, CDC, to the DOD etc...ALL funded through the IRA.
By the time these CBPs are presented by "industry" to local municipalities for "economic/sustainable development," these central planners have already agreed to the contractual obligations of the federal government.
However, your typical small town elected officials, or tribal leaders, may not be fully aware of what they're even agreeing to, as most work full-time jobs outside of these volunteer/unpaid elected positions.
In other words, this is a massively coordinated, whole-of-government, whole-of-industry initiative to override just compensation, due process and the takings clause via centralized Executive authority.
And, as you can clearly see in screenshot 2, the intent of Justice40- "local jobs for Disadvantaged Communities" - didn't even make the priority list in this game.
Reeducation for "worker readiness," however? Now that's the top priority under childcare... But this is totally different from the last time colonizers forced Ute children into Reeducation because this is DEI...🙄
When Harris says you have a right to "clean" land, air, water. When Congress says "we must act to stop the CCP from buying farmland," these are merely targeted talking points to convince ALL Americans that centralized Executive authority over real property is the solution to eminent threats—when the ONLY real eminent threat is centralized authority itself.

🚨🚨FARMERS v BIDEN et al.🚨🚨
The Breaking Farm Credit Fiasco That Nobody Is Prepared For.
MAY 18, 2024 - America's farmers and farmlands are facing a multi-pronged attack from within the governing structures meant to protect the nation's food supply. The Beef Initiative has worked to outline the economic, regulatory, and private interests that are currently driving rural communities out of business. Now, a developing story helps to piece together another vital component of the total picture.
Tennessee rancher and agricultural attorney Dustin Kittle has just filed a lawsuit against President Joseph Biden for alleged failures to execute his duties as POTUS. According to the filing and Congressional Research Council reports, Biden has failed to appoint two of the three-member board required for the Farm Credit Administration (FCA) to function.
During the Trump administration, former banking specialist Rodney Brown had been tapped to serve as a member of the FCA Board. The Senate Agriculture Committee sat on Brown's appointment for two full years, finally returning Brown's nomination to Donald Trump once Biden took office.
Jeff Hall, whom Trump had appointed Brown to replace, is now the longest sitting member in the history of the FCA board, serving a twice expired term under Biden. Without an acting board, the FCA has not conducted proper oversight in over three years.
Unfortunately, this non-functioning regulatory Board is tasked with overseeing the farm credit system and all of its lending institutions across the country.
According to the allegations, Kittle and other farmers have been extorted by threats to take their farmlands without remedy or oversight from the FCA.
Dustin Kittle represents multiple clients who have loans at the farmer-owned co-op association known as Alabama Farm Credit. As a condition of lending, farmers are required to buy $1,000 dollars in stocks of the Alabama Farm Credit, making them stockholders and co-owners. The Alabama Farm Credit, as an institution, is prohibited from holding deposits, a condition of the federal law that governs the charter.
Although the loans are often backed by the U.S. government, similar to student loans, farm credit has been allowed to take collateral—a ton of collateral.
In the late 1990's, regulators created an ambiguity in the law that allowed farm credit institutions to begin a program called a “voluntary advance conditional funds held account.” Unfortunately, nothing about it was actually voluntary.
This careful use of legal language effectively allowed non-deposit farm credit institutions to condition the underwriting of loans for poultry farmers upon 33 to 65 percent assignments, paid from companies like Tyson or Pilgrim's Pride (USDA certified poultry tournaments) directly to the lending institution.
On a 50 percent assignment, Tyson would cut two checks; one directly to the farmer for 50%, and the other to Farm Credit for the other half of the proceeds. According to Farm Credit, these forward payments helped to mitigate interest. The reality is likely closer to covering liquidity shortfalls, as the farm credit system appears to have been in financial trouble for some years.
In 2021, these accounts suddenly disappeared without prior notice. One of Kittle's clients, a poultry farmer, is paid ahead by more than two years on his loan, yet he cannot access that money.
Overnight, Alabama Farm Credit took an estimated 20-40 million dollars and moved that into the bank's general fund. Farmers, who must make upgrades to their poultry houses in order to remain in compliance with USDA, and now EPA regulations, are unable to access their own money in order to stay in the tournament system.

🚨🚨🚨SO IT BEGINS🚨🚨🚨
GUILTY UNLESS PROVEN INNOCENT- The Contents of Konstantin Malofeyev’s Bank Account Sent to Ukraine...
On April 4, 2022, a Southern District of New York grand jury, under SEALED INDICTMENT, indicted Malofeyev with "conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act" (“IEEPA”), 50 U.S.C. § 1705. (IEEPA was again reauthorized and expanded to encompass ALL online transactions, under the Biden Administration, on Feb. 28, 2024—days before the House passed the TikTok forced divestiture bill 7521.)
The U.S. sought forfeiture of the approximately $5.4 million, held in the Texas based Sunflower Bank account under the authority of 18 U.S.C. § 981(c) for "violations of IEEPA."
On February 2, 2023, the U.S. sought a judgment of forfeiture, United States v. $5,379,876.94, DE 6 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 2, 2023), which the district court granted the SAME DAY, Id. at DE 8 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 2, 2023).
In addition to $45 billion in the Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations of 2023, Congress provided authority for forfeited cash, and the proceeds from the sale of forfeited assets from individuals listed on the OFAC "Blocked Persons" list, alledged of "violating certain U.S. laws and/or subject to U.S. sanctions," to be used to fund the Ukrainian proxy war—outside of an official declaration of war by Congress!!!
"While Konstantin Malofeyev’s case involves the first actual transfer of Russian-Oligarch-related assets sent to Ukraine, it will not be the last.
"In fact, the Biden Administration’s ability to supplement foreign aid to Ukraine with Russian Oligarchs’ assets may prove to incentivize Justice Department forfeiture actions involving 'covered forfeited property.'”
HR 7521, the supposed "TikTok Ban" is actually expanded centralized authority to the POTUS, under sanctions laws, to force the sale of private property (tangible and intangible).
According to the language of H.R 7521, Section (g)(c)”Definitions” the bill applies to;
“a person subject to the direction or control of a foreign person or entity.” When the President determines that a person or entity poses a risk to national security, the President merely needs to issue a public notice via OFAC of impacted entities, and then notify Congress 30 days prior, "outlining a classified annex and description of assets that must be divested" (sold).
As we've just seen with Malofeyev, indictments are sealed, until after the judgement!
To review, literally anyone can be alleged of IEEPA violations, or U.S law violations, indicted under seal, have their property and assets seized, and then sold in order to fund undeclared wars for indefinite periods of time.
And when there's no more "Russian oligarchy" money left in the U.S? Yet, precedent has been set???.... Which enemy will the Biden Administration go after next? Who's assets will be seized next?
Maybe your own, if alleged of being "subject to the direction or control of a foreign person or entity.”
🚨🧵THE WAR ON MEAT, IS A WAR ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AND THE VALUE OF THE DOLLAR🧵🚨
Seasoned Veterinarians and livestock producers, alike, have been scratching their respective heads trying to understand the media's response to the avian flu. Headlines across every major news outlet warns of humans becoming infected with the “deadly” bird flu, after one reported case of pink-eye in a human.
The entire narrative is predicated upon a long disputed claim that COVID-19 was the result of a zoonotic jump—the famed Wuhan bat wet-market theory.
While the source of Covid is hotly contested within the scientific community, the policy vehicle at the center of this dialectic began years prior to Sars-Cov-2 and is quite resolute in force and effect.
In 2016, the Gates Foundation donated to the World Health Organization to create the OneHealth Initiative. Since 2020, the CDC has adopted and implemented the OneHealth Initiative to build a “collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach—working at the local, regional, national, and global levels—with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.”
In the aftermath of COVID-19, the OneHealth Initiative began taking shape, due largely in part to millions of tax dollars appropriated through ARP (American Rescue Plan) funding.
Through its APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Investigation System) the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) was given $300M in 2021 to begin implementing “a risk-based, comprehensive, integrated disease monitoring and surveillance system domestically…to build additional capacity for zoonotic disease surveillance and prevention,” globally.
“The One Health concept recognizes that the health of people, animals, and the environment are all linked,” said USDA Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs Jenny Lester Moffitt.
According to the USDA's press release, the Biden-Harris Administration's OneHealth approach will also help to ensure “new markets and streams of income for farmers and producers using climate smart food and forestry practices,” by “making historic investments in infrastructure and clean energy capabilities in rural America.”
In other words, the federal government is using regulatory enforcement to intervene in the marketplace, in addition to subsidizing corporations with tax dollars to direct a planned economic outcome—ending meat consumption. usda.gov/media/press-re…
Climate-Smart Commodities - Planning the Economy through Subsidized Intervention.
Under the recently announced Climate-Smart Commodities program, the USDA has appropriated $3.1B in tax subsidies to one hundred and forty-one new private Climate-Smart projects, ranging from carbon sequestration to Climate-Smart meat and forestry practices.
Private investors such as Amazon founder Jeff Bezos - who just committed $1B to the development of lab cultured meat-like molds, and meat grown in petri dishes, to
Ballpark, formerly known for its hotdogs, but is now harvesting python meat - are all rushing to cash in on this new industry, and the OneHealth/USDA certification program. usda.gov/climate-soluti…

🚨🧵Sanctions, Economic Fascism, and The Slow Road to “Owning Nothing”🚨🧵
Giovanni Gentile, was a neo-Hegelian philosopher, and the intellectual author of the “doctrine of fascism,” which he co-authored with Benito Mussolini. Influenced by Hegel, Nietzsche, and Karl Marx, Gentile believed that all private action should serve the state's interests.
“Fascism is a form of socialism, in fact, it is its most viable form,” Gentile wrote in his economic postulates, while defending compulsory state corporatism.
Gentile, like Mussolini, understood that a free society would not accept an authoritarian (state centered) regime, without incremental steps and the correct framing or socially engineered messaging to garner tacit agreement from the public.
Among the most prominent forms of economic fascism is the centralized authority to direct and plan the economy, trade, or commerce through restrictive and coercive methods. Centralization is defined as a sole individual, or a limited number of unelected individuals, who have been delegated the authority to control or manipulate the market—typically framed as a necessity for national security or for the welfare of the public (collective).
“Government alone,” Mussolini insisted, “is in the right position to see things from the point of view of the general welfare.” The government’s responsibility is to determine how much money is invested, how and where it should be invested and how the results will be judged.
In Italy after 1925, this was accomplished through the administrative state (the state within the state), such as the National Fascist Confederation of Industry, the National Fascist Confederation of Agriculture, the National Fascist Confederation of Commerce and the National Fascist Confederation of Banking.
After 40 years of Chevron doctrine being upheld in the United States, “highly trained experts” within administrative agencies have been given such deference to interpret the laws passed by Congress, it's now generally accepted among scholars that these agencies have the authority to promulgate new rules, beyond the scope of what Congress intended.
Citing the constitutional basis for the legality of American fascism (the interstate commerce clause, and preemptive doctrine), attorney Charlotte Twight, examines the economic consequences of interventions in her 2002 book Dependent on D.C.: The Rise of Federal Control over the Lives of Ordinary Americans. Outlined are the affects of the administrative state, such as: licensing, regulation, and rate making; product control; increasing the power of the executive branch; control over labor and agriculture; import-export and foreign exchange controls.

🚨🧵SECTION 721 WEAPONIZATION? IS THIS THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TIKTOK BILL? 🧵
In April 2022, Deputy U.S. Attorney General Lisa Monaco emphasised the centrality of national security to DOJ’s white collar enforcement efforts, noting in particular the enforcement of sanctions evasion and export control violations as a key part of deterring corporate crime, stating “one way to think about this is as sanctions being the new Foreign Corrupt Practices Act."
Lisa Monaco is said to have drafted H.R 7521, the TikTok bill.
Is Section 721 - US sanctions law - being weaponized against US citizens, companies, and crypto currency—like section 702 has been?
Monday, March 11, 2024,
"As part of the new Russian sanctions actions, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) added almost 300 entities to its list of “Specially Designated Nationals” (the SDN List)."
"U.S. persons are prohibited from engaging in virtually all dealings involving SDNs."
The greatest risk is not to the notified SDN, but to the US citizen or entity that "knowingly, or unknowingly, directly or indirectly," transacts with a designated SDN.
Penalties for U.S persons violating sanctions carry 20 year prison sentences and up to 1 million dollars in fines per violation. Sound familiar? The language is nearly verbatim that of The Restrict Act.
@MikeBenzCyber
However, in October of 2022 OFAC sent a very clear message to US companies when it fined a Bellevue, WA based virtual currency exchange $24 million and $29 million, respectively, to Bittrex, Inc. (Bittrex).
"COMPLIANCE IS NOT OPTIONAL"
Why?
"Bittrex had reason to know that these users were located in jurisdictions subject to sanctions. At the time of the transactions, however, Bittrex was not screening this customer information for terms associated with sanctioned jurisdictions. This information was not voluntarily self-disclosed."
So, for not adopting then recently created, OFAC screening standards, Bittrex was fined millions for allowing third party transactions in jurisdictions subject to sanctions. They should have known...
THREE DAYS AGO, WHILE MSM DEBATED TIKTOK, carefully steering the narrative to the Spooky CCP... THREE DAYS AGO, while the so-called "TIKTOK BAN" sailed through the House, after the RULES WERE SUSPENDED to pass it that quickly...
Once you realize that TikTok and its parent company Bytedance have been working WITH the Biden Administration and CFIUS for the last three years to become compliant, once you realize that On January 19, 2021, one day before President Biden assumed office, the US Department of Commerce (Commerce) published an interim final rule implementing its sweeping new authority to block, unwind, or condition "transactions" involving information and communications technology and services (ICTS), once you realize that TikTok's servers are in Texas, and then understand that the company already has an American board, and has already turned over ALL records of shareholders to the satisfaction of our federal government - then you start to understand the REAL target isn't TikTok - it's YOU via "X," Rumble, Gettr, Crypto, and so on down the line of non-compliant, divergent thought, content hubs and decentralized financial mechanisms.
Don't think it's possible? I have news for you. All it takes is an Executive Order declaring a National Security threat exists and invoking IEEPA (economic sanctions), like the Biden Administration did on Feb. 28, 2024—days before H.R 7521 passed out of the House. The seizure or freezing of assets can happen WHILE an investigation is being conducted, AND all an investigation requires is mere hearsay, or a small amount of evidence such as this below, in order to begin.
And so here we are. This is how it starts, saying the quiet parts out loud and laying the foundation for what comes neXt—the truth behind "the so-called TikTok ban" (H.R 7521). Because, the ultimate and uncomfortable truth is that the Free Market is the enemy of stakeholder capitalism, and stakeholder capitalism IS Economic Fascism!!! A system that exists to financially starve out dissenters, and those who fund "them" as opposed to "us."

The Democratic Senate Campaign Committee (DSCC) is playing fast and loose with the facts. Honestly, an FEC ethics violation is warranted given these whoppers. At the head of the DSCC sits Michigan Senator Gary Peters—The Whopper King.
According to DSCC, the PAC is focused on flipping senate seats in Florida and Texas. However, aside from being completely inaccurate, the actual messaging of the PAC, geared towards donors via ActBlue, is solely critical of HOUSE Republicans.
Some of the allegations made by this PAC range from scaring recipients into believing that their Reproductive Rights are in jeopardy due to "MAGA Republicans in the House," even after Roe was turned over to the states and Congress has no power.
Now, I've received a text alert claiming that Speaker Johnson is trying to cut 1.5 Trillion in Social Security benefits and Medicare.
So what's Peters actually up to, and what's the truth behind these whoppers?
Let's take a look:
2. It’s worth noting Social Security is in financial trouble and its funding is expected to be depleted as soon as 2033, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
So let's begin with looking into what's draining Social Security, because if you thought SSA was just a trust that went back to those who have paid into it their entire lives, you'll be shocked.

🧵"Free Lunch"🧵
A Hard Pill to Swallow?
Incoming progressive, Rep. Wittman (D-Brookings), has announced a legislative proposal for "Free School Lunch," that could quickly fuel the culture fire, depending on how it's funded.
Recently passed SD laws; protecting women in sports, and prohibiting puberty blockers for minors, would quickly be overturned if South Dakota's legislature agrees to accept federal funding for the School Lunch Program.
Under the Biden Administration's amendments to Title IX, South Dakota would also be mandated to incorporate gender identity and sexual orientation throughout K-12 curricula...1/2
The established policies "violate Title IX when they categorically ban transgender students from participating on sports teams consistent with their gender identity."
After redefining Title IX, the Biden Administration then directed the USDA to enforce adherence to the thousand-plus-paged document, by granting investigatory authority over recipients of the National School Lunch Program (FNS).
The action effectively leveraged federally funded school lunch, for mandatory compliance to the Title IX amendments.
“As a result, state and local agencies, program operators and sponsors that receive funds from FNS must investigate allegations of discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation,” USDA said in a statement. “Those organizations must also update their non-discrimination policies and signage to include prohibitions against discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.”
The change means that schools receiving any kind of subsidized school lunch funding, will now be subject to the new Title IX LGBTQ interpretation.
@GovKristiNoem
has been adamant that South Dakota's State sovereignty will not be handed over for federal coin.
Still, left-leaning media and the SDDNC continue to message in lock-step, omitting the true costs of progressive policies. 2/2

🧵Do Federal Funds = Institutional Compliance?🧵
Last year, as South Dakota was appropriating daycare dollars from federal funds, I wrote an article about the fine print.
Many shrugged off concerns related to the fine print stating, "the pandemic is over."
But after a year, and billions spent, perhaps it's time to review that fine print, and see exactly what was agreed to in order to receive said funds?
Internal memo (below) originally shared by @stkirsch*
This may NOT be the case across the board, but in the case of South Dakota state licensed daycares who received federal funds, they had to check a box on the application agreeing to the following;
"17. Eligible providers must certify in their application to:
-being open and serving children during the grant periods
implementing policies, when open and providing services, that are in line with;
- guidance and orders from corresponding state and local authorities and, to the greatest extent possible, implementing policies in line with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (available at )..."-DSS FAQ

🧵 Thread on Oregon's new laws 🧵
According to legislative research council, detransitioning treatments are excluded from health insurance coverage, due to the following definition of what constitutes
“Gender-affirming treatment;”
"means a procedure, service, drug, device or product
that a physical or behavioral health care provider prescribes to treat an individual for
incongruence between the individual’s gender identity and the individual’s sex assignment
at birth."
The bill's mandate to health insurance companies creates a loophole in the language, excluding destrans individuals, as the incongruence is between their gender identity and the sex assignment made by medical professionals—as opposed to "at birth."
The bill, HB 2002, has also expanded the list of providers who can diagnose and prescribe gender affirming care, and reproductive health services to;
-Dentists, and unless for an initial eye exam for contacts,
-Optometrists
- Naturopathic Doctors
- Registered Nurses
*School based health clinics were removed from the enrolled version.
