Restoring Liberty and National Sovereignty

Written By Kerry Yoncak

Surrounded by a seemingly endless stream of soundbites, modern society has fallen into an anemic state, plagued by lack of nuance. The ability to recognize patterns is all but a lost art. We've withdrawn from real community and abandoned our ties to the very wisdom that's needed to realize we're headed in the wrong direction.

Resistance to the ever-increasing absurdity of social justice, devoid of righteousness, has led to a societal fissure, exposing problems that were incubating just beneath the surface.

The now salient issues of failing education, collapse of community, and erosion of family structure, demand an audit as to how we got here.

Reflecting on our path to peril, we can see that traditional family structure was shattered by misguided policies and poor social contracts, causing instability and lack of support. The education system was systematically stripped of the ability to prepare students for successful participation in society. The resultant chaos was amplified as community networks disintegrated and our focus shifted to individualism and consumption.

Multiple generations of creative and beautiful humans are now trapped in an existential crisis due to lack of meaning.

It's time to pick-up the pieces of our fragmented society and create a new form of flourishing. We need to come together and inspire an “American Renaissance” by reintroducing the great thinkers of history such as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Augustinus, Nicolas of Cusa, Kepler, Leibniz, Beethoven, Franklin, and Hamilton.

Let's get back to our roots in The American System of fair trade and away from the geopolitical system of free trade.

Adam Smith, author of "The Wealth of Nations”, often referred to as “The Father of Capitalism”, was a proponent of free trade but also of governmental pricing controls. These contradictory ideas are the subject of seemingly endless interpretations and debates. Smith’s ideas, installed in America via William Petty, 2nd Earl of Shelbourne, Prime Minister of Great Britain, nearly destroyed the independence of the North America colonies, some argue intentionally.

At the 1783 Peace Treaty in Paris, the prime minister offered terms for The United States of America to be recognized as an independent nation, under the condition that America implemented the methods of free trade. The peace terms were accepted, and as a result, America went bankrupt! Interestingly, the same thing happened in France.

After economic failure, our founding fathers, the OGs of "America First", created a new constitution, rejecting the dogmas of free trade.

The new federal government included Washington as President, Hamilton as Treasury Secretary, and The Bank of The United States. As a result of newly established economic policies, The American System restored public credit and transformed the economy. These policies were outlined in Hamilton's report, "On The Subject Of Manufactures With Issue".

It’s time to focus on building a competent economic policy that's not based on a colonial style looting system.

Our system is careening toward catastrophe and requires immediate course correction. We must uplift a Hamiltonian style national credit to encourage productivity and reinvestment in education and real infrastructure; not green subsidies that line the pockets of the Oligarchy while simultaneously sending us back to the dark ages.

As a matter of urgency, we must support actual education, not indoctrination, void of creativity, that produces test taking robots.

The climate change crisis, including The Green New Deal, is a front for fraudulent financial policy. Wall Street is desperate to push liquidity into bankrupt firms and banks to support unsustainable debt. The global elite gather at Davos and Jackson Hole, where they outline zero-sum solutions, aimed at maintaining power and control, disguised as prosperity for all. They work collectively with central banks, corporate cartels, and world leaders to use climate change as a Trojan horse to siphon money out of the global economy. In a poorly negotiated deal, like that of 1783, The Paris Agreement, which we've recently re-entered, will destroy the American economy and independence.

It's foolish for America to pay countries like China to convert to clean energy.

China is increasing their emissions while simultaneously lending money to African countries for infrastructure; Africa will have to pay China back in oil and minerals until they are productive enough to be profitable, but even then, China will maintain some level of control.

Unfortunately, many poor countries need assistance for essentials and infrastructure. The cash-strapped countries are vulnerable and at the mercy of predatory lenders, forced to choose between two evils; IMF funding packages requiring adherence to "green" policies, preventing fossil fuel usage, effectively oppressing growth and production, or China’s credit deals that require sacrifices, but an opportunity to benefit future generations through useful physical infrastructure. In the "rich" countries, theft via climate change policy is equally insidious, but packaged in shiny wrapping paper with a bigger bow.

In a doubling down effort, the current administration added environmental climate change to national security, as a priority.

To the delight of those hoping for a financial windfall, geopolitics and climate change are now intertwined in the Pentagon planning and policy making.

Corruption is manipulating our economic policy.

The Treasury established a Climate Office. Why is that even a thing? In my best estimation, it’s to monitor where credit is going and to ensure that zero credit is issued for fossil fuel production or anything with a carbon footprint. The coordinated assault has ramped up and is full speed ahead. Investment groups are announcing "green" funds, political rhetoric is flying about, a new infrastructure bill will funnel money directly into the coffers of the elite, and the standard media players are reinforcing the narrative. In a Bloomberg article titled "Banks May Be Our Best Hope in Fighting Climate Change", the author delivers his message in a positive and encouraging tone, stating:

"Governments can make banks do the oversight work for them... [They] have realized that acting through the financial system is both economically and politically expedient...pollution and high fossil-fuel use have to be made more expensive to incentivize people to find alternative ways of doing things. Increasing the cost of funding and capital for activities that are worse for the environment is a good answer... getting banks to impose the costs is more efficient than waiting for politicians to make direct taxes somehow palatable."

Imposing a green agenda on financial institutions will eliminate any lending for production, including steel, aluminum, concrete, or any reliable sources of electricity.

Electricity issues are becoming increasingly problematic, and more terrible policies will only exasperate the situation. The past decades of awful deregulation policies are some of the worst decisions made in recent history. These politically motivated frauds are responsible for the degradation of our energy production and distribution.

Remember ENRON?

Every aspect of energy production became a monetized commodity for speculation, no longer focused on the needs of the American people. The push into green policies has only made matters worse. Texas and California both went "green", shutting down coal-fired and nuclear plants, while increasing dependency on wind and solar. As a result, California has blackouts in the summer, and Texas was freezing in the dark during winter.

Attention NY and NJ residents, you’re next; my advice is to get a generator.

NJ recently updated its Energy Master Plan, to incrementally increase the percentage of power required to come from renewables, all the way up to 100% by 2050. As a small, densely populated state, NJ’s ability to allocate land to energy production is trickier than larger states. In a misguided effort to address this problem, state regulators are steamrolling ahead with the Atlantic Shores wind farm and the Ocean Wind project, proposing to install large-scale wind farms, using experimental turbines, off the southern coast.

NJ Senate Bill 3926, passed on July 22, 2021, authorizes offshore wind projects to construct power lines and to obtain real property interests, by eminent domain if necessary, and grants the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities the power to supersede local governments for “final approval over local land use”.

The coastal communities are in an uproar, and their concerns about the “negative environmental impacts on New Jersey’s most pristine natural resources, as well as the detrimental impact on tourism, recreational and commercial fishing industries and local property values”, simply fall on deaf ears.

Ironically, a NJ based company, Holtec, is developing Small Modular Reactors (SMR) that use clean high-energy technology, need a relatively small footprint, and can operate without a water source. Another company moving in the right direction is Helion, they’re pioneering plasma fusion and working on a new facility in Everett, Washington.

Helion’s zero-carbon power plant “will provide flexible, scalable, baseload power that is affordable, providing the world a new path to full decarbonization of electricity generation.”

Unfortunately, the establishment isn’t rushing to embrace these new technologies, nor do they seem concerned with wasting money on unreliable low- energy renewables.

Former NY governor Cuomo and officials harassed nuclear-power plant owners for years, in efforts to shut down the reactors; blocking re-licensing and forcing legal battles, to the tune of $200 million, to get the job done. With an increasingly stressed power grid, the closure of Indian Point nuclear-power plant will deliver nothing more than misery to New Yorkers, in the form of blackouts and higher prices.

Bill Gates, the mega-phone of climate change and resident Malthusian, was formerly opposed to nuclear power but it seems that he’s had a change of heart.

Although Gates continues to push solar and wind as primary sources of energy, he now includes nuclear power into the mix, reassuring his devoted believers that it will only be supplemental. However, anyone with some understanding of power grid design and energy demand knows this is dubious, at best, and more so an attempt to hoodwink the population. Let's look at what's really going on.

Gates' reactor design company TerraPower and (Warren Buffet owned) Berkshire Hathaway's power company PacifiCorp, have partnered on the Natrium nuclear reactor pilot project to build a nuclear reactor in Wyoming.

The money grab is facilitated by ensuring that large wind and solar allocations are built into the grid. As a result, states will fail to reliably meet peak demand, forcing nuclear power purchases to cover the difference.

The potential for profit is sky-high domestically, and on the global front as well because countries like Africa will eventually transition to small modular reactors (SMR). In a seemingly altruistic fashion, Gates agreed to pledge $1.5 billion “for joint projects with the federal government to help fight climate change” if Congress passed the proposed infrastructure bill. This thinly veiled offer is rather self-serving and presumptuous; Gates seems prematurely confident that a piece of the $150 billion climate-change pie will be awarded to his companies during the procurement process (in reality, he probably already knows it’s a sure thing).

Continued governmental overreach and overspending ultimately causes the average American to be negatively impacted by inflation and loss of purchasing power, which serves only to increase the wealth gap.

The recently passed infrastructure bill will increase the country's dependence on wind and solar, while simultaneously increasing demand for electricity because of compulsory conversion to electric vehicles; this will undoubtedly stress the system and will eventually REQUIRE supplementation from other sources, which is where the nuclear-power plants come in. Coincidentally, Gates and Buffet are in the market.

Take a look at Germany to see how going green has resulted in sub-optimal power delivery to residents, while the energy cost to consumer rose 50%.

Unreliable energy service at a higher cost only benefits the companies receiving green subsidies and those providing the peak-demand power. In Germany, using high percentages of solar and wind in combination with burning biomass is not sufficient, resulting in the need to purchase supplemental natural gas from Russia and nuclear power from France.

“Goldman Sachs warned in a recent report about potential widespread power blackouts in Europe in the coming winter. The price of natural gas has tripled this year in Germany and the U.K., and prices for coal, oil and electricity are all zooming out of reach. Sharp shortfalls in electricity generated by...wind-power parks during the first half of the year, are part of the cause for the increases...the dramatic rise in energy prices is bankrupting industries, consumers...[and] leading to the first shutdowns of energy-intense industries...Germany’s leading chemical producer BASF and the aluminum producer Aurubis are considering production cuts." As feared, in late September, BASF reduced ammonia production at two sites, due to high natural gas prices.

The combination of deregulation, green policies, and the financial throttling of lending to production industries is a dangerous trifecta that will eliminate our ability to substantially produce anything and will destroy our physical economy.

The continued erosion of our systems is unyielding, and it’s dismantling not just the energy sector, but the healthcare and banking systems as well. The American banking system was radically changed in 1999, when The Glass-Steagall Act was done away with. As a result, less than a decade later, in 2008, the collapse of Lehman Brothers spread destruction through the whole financial system. The Glass-Steagall Act was passed in 1933, by The Roosevelt Administration, to protect the country from the speculative and commercial banking activities that caused the Great Depression. The Glass-Steagall Act was successful for over 60 years; shielding the country from major financial failure and collapse.

Inexplicably, in 2008, the powers-that-be where unwilling to acknowledge the root cause of the financial collapse.

"As the old saying goes, success has many fathers and failure is an orphan.”

Instead of reinstating The Glass-Steagall Act, the wayward government gave the American people garbage bailout policies that looted the economy. Americans were robbed as trillions of dollars of worthless debt were dumped upon their shoulders; an unnecessary burden, serving only to benefit Wall Street and reward reckless financial speculators. The problems that lead to the 2008 crash were NEVER fixed, and shockingly, things are worse now.

Remember "too big to fail"?

Well currently, BlackRock is one of the biggest financial actors in the USA, surely to trigger a financial meltdown in the event of their failure, and yet they operate as if their activities pose zero risk to the system. Where is the regulation to declare BlackRock a (SIFI) systemically important financial institution? We are back in the danger zone, but our leaders continue to ignore the real problems while distracting the population with their fake outrage, contrived controversies, and empty promises. Our collapsing economic system is suffering and on the brink of terminal illness.

The current debt bubble that we continue to feed is going to pop, and when it does our leaders will once again find themselves in crisis.

Hopefully, this time around, they will deploy the proper remedy to protect the people and the commercial banks, via a bankruptcy restructuring, rather than bailing out Wall Street and corporate America. Will they write-off the meaningless fiat currency, created by centralized manipulation, rather than rescuing zombie corporations and rewarding speculative failures? There’s no way to know, but one thing’s for certain, our future will be shaped by these critical decisions, and we better trust the people deciding.

America needs strong leaders, with wisdom and bravery, willing to steer us away from destruction, and willing to shield us from evil.

If we the people fail to come together and demand better for ourselves, for our communities, and for our country, we'll keep being looted by astronomical spending bills that increasingly devalue our money, facilitating the theft of our time. The looming financial crisis won't be addressed, and we'll find ourselves buried under continuously rising debt, with inflation beating us down further. Families and small businesses, despite their best efforts to prosper, will flounder. Then, when it seems like it can't get any worse, our savings will evaporate, and Congress will deliver the death blow of another bail out for the global elite; wash, rinse, and repeat. It's no wonder that people are flocking to gold, silver, and Bitcoin. America is being murdered, in broad daylight, and our complacent leaders are just watching it happen.

People are desperate for truth, competent governance, and a glimmer of hope that humanity isn't lost to the darkness.

Now is the time to stand-up and protect The American Dream. Be the lodestar for your family, and then for your community. Have conversations with your neighbors, encourage classical education, and lead with love. Oppose the release of criminals and restrictions on lawful guns. Oppose destabilization of the power grid, raising taxes for out-of-control spending, and forcing people onto social services. Oppose the failing education systems, and the unprecedented overreach of the federal government.

Move forward with faith and freedom of mind, and together we shall restore prosperity, individual liberty, and national sovereignty.

God Bless America!

-- Kind Regards
