Twelve years ago, on November 22nd, someone released emails revealing communications between leading “scientists” on Global Warming. The interactions were not only not flattering, they were damning. The experts were manipulating data and suppressing debate.

It has been 12 years since the intellectual scandal erupted called Climategate. Each anniversary inspires recollections and regurgitation of salient quotations. These quotations speak for themselves; attempts of climate alarmists to parse the words and meaning distracts from what was said in real-time private conversations.

And the scandal got worse after the fact when, according to Paul Stephens, “virtually the entire climate science community tried to pretend that nothing was wrong.” Whitewash exonerations by the educational institutions involved and scientific organizations– was a blow to scholarship and standards as well. The standard of fair, objective, transparent research was sacrificed to a politically correct narrative about the qualitative connection between CO2 forcing and temperature (see Wiki).

 

WUWT has more, including some of the better quotes culled from the mountain, of which my favorite might be,

“I’ve just completed Mike’s [Mann] Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (i.e. from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s [Briffa] to hide the decline.”

—Dr. Phil Jones, Director of the Climatic Research Unit, disclosed Climategate e-mail, Nov. 16, 1999.

And,

“I can’t see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. Kevin [Trenberth] and I will keep them out somehow, even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!”

—Phil Jones, Director of the Climatic Research Unit, disclosed Climategate e-mail, July 8, 2004.

It was a coordinated effort (conspiracy/fraud) to prevent science from happening and to control the narrative. But it’s more than that. Billions, nay Trillions of dollars, were at stake. If the fraud could be sustained, the people censoring scientific research in defense of Mann-Made global warming would continue to benefit financially, as would a range of politicians, their oligarchic crony-capitalist buddies, and anyone connected to them.

And before the rise of COVID-19, it was easily the single most significant (potential) RICO case in history, one that continues this week at COP27, where they are binding nations the decades along money-laundering operations using not just your hard-earned wages but those of generations not born who will be made to pay the debt and the interest on it.

And we’ve made considerable advances in demonstrating the fraud, but here we are, watching them institutionalize the funding of the same lie over a decade later.

I’d say it’s disappointing, but the fault is not ours. The party in which we’ve had to place our faith to push back has gotten on the same train (more or less). From big corn to so-called renewables, Republicans are increasingly led by their donor nose-rings to play along.

The only man who made any real effort to dial it back was Donald Trump, and you see what they did and are trying to do to him.

No debate, no science, just fear and political terrorism against anyone who tries to close the laundromat.

We need to do better.

 

 

The post ICYMI (I Did!)- Yesterday Was the 12th Anniversary of ‘Climategate.’ appeared first on Granite Grok.

This week in the US we have heard of a plethora of shootings, stabbings, and fires. That’s combined with incessant talk of a build-up toward war with Russia or China, and news that the dollar will collapse.

And since we have just had an election season, there have been fights over who won and all the related chicanery. Don’t forget the new SADS — “sudden adult death syndrome” — where you simply drop dead on the floor.

To the average citizen, this may seem like an accumulation of separate difficulties. The pile-up of them is now becoming almost too much to bear. Or to put it another way, even for folks who don’t specifically concentrate on any of the aforementioned problems, the quality of life “all around” has been lowered.

Ask: Where is the joy of community if television gives us a steady stream of murder stories or housefires? Where is the joy of thinking of our kids’ future when we hear that 42% of them now have “mental health issues”? Where are artistry and intellectual life if there is no venue for such things?

In this article, I argue that the pile-up of sad events is not accidental; it’s deliberately planned. Indeed it isn’t really a pile-up; it’s a full design, as in a tapestry. Even if such an argument sounds ridiculous, I ask you to try picturing someone, somewhere, holding a veritable agenda — to lower the quality of human life and to make many of us see our lot as unbearable.

Such an agenda needs a name. I hesitate to employ the word “tapestry” as a tapestry is a beautiful thing. I’ll call it a “blanketry,” for now. For different folks, the blanketry may have different strokes, but in general, it means that the whole community suffers a decline in joy. The dark blanket that has fallen on us makes us think things will never get better and everyone is doomed.

Who would create such a blanket? Is it even conceivable that someone would try to bring down the tone of a whole society? First, try answering that in the negative. “No — such persons don’t exist” — the various sufferings (e.g., corrupt elections or an outbreak of arson) have ordinary explanations, same as in the past. The fact that they’re coming all at once might merely reflect a developing culture of lawlessness.

I agree that a culture of lawlessness can instigate criminal activity since the bad guys would no longer fear arrest. They could let themselves go free, doing shootouts if they are young men, or accepting bribes if they are bored old bureaucrats. But what is making law enforcers agree to the lawlessness? Their personnel — particularly in the courts — have always prided themselves on bringing justice. Why would they suddenly change their tune?

Again, there could be an ordinary explanation. Individual cops, prosecutors, and judges may start to think it’s no longer cool to act as in days of old. They may notice that recent grads of law school have not even been taught the ideals of law, aiming instead for winning the legal game against competitors.

Granted, people of high principle tend to be less conformist than their neighbors, but if they now find themselves unable to share the high principles, they may just give up trying. Morality is a shared thing. (Some religious people believe they can do the morally right thing as a loner, by having companionship with God, but their understanding of God came about socially.)

Examining the Blanket’s Designer via Mind Control

That said, I think the new lawlessness and the new unhappiness are “of a piece” and was designed on a drawing board. I am calling it a blanket to enable the examination of it.

For the last 17 years, I’ve been engaged in contemplating the MK-Ultra program of the CIA. That has made me swallow the unpleasant (and counterintuitive) truth that some humans will do anything to hurt their fellow man. (Note: although I say it is CIA based, it is more likely based in the UK’s psychology organization known as Tavistock.)

I’ll give a short list of what may happen to an MK-Ultra girl. This is a miscellaneous collection of tortures; each person does not receive all of them. There may be many other tortures that I omit:

1. Before birth, her pregnant mother may be given an electric shock to the womb.
2. Shortly after birth, the baby may find a phallus in her mouth (excuse me for being graphic).
3. As a child, she may constantly hear her mother say “I don’t love you. You are ugly.”
4. She is made to watch other children being killed.
5. She is taken on trips, e.g., to have sex with politicians, and then given a drug (or a tasering) to make her forget.
6. She is trained to stab people to death and may in fact do so.
7. Her handler dislocates her shoulder, exactly at the moment of orgasm, so she will confuse pain and pleasure.
8. When she is too old to be useful (perhaps age 35) she is given a suicide date, and is hypnotized to believe it will be a glorious experience (e.g., flying out the window).
9. She is made to feel anger and then is taught to suppress it (or face horrible punishment).
10. She is forced to kill her beloved dog or amputate the feet of her beloved cat.

As I said, that is a miscellaneous list. The experts have learned how the mind works and how they can control individuals, even making them act against their own interests. As far as I know, many mind-control techniques existed in the past in many cultures. These ones were developed in a formal way.

I neglected to mention control by drugging (remember the psychiatric wards to which political dissidents in the USSR were sent?). I did not mention the forming of cults, but these are a way to teach a whole group to be obedient. I did hint at the breaking of the mother-child bond, which was a specific project developed by psychiatrists at Harvard in the early 1900s.

Just the name Harvard reminds us that many prestigious universities and highly regarded doctors were in on this stuff. I don’t rule out that they themselves had undergone some form of mind control in order to be willing to behave so sadistically.

As with many outrageous public figures today — Fauci and Gates come to mind — it is easy to argue that their behaviors may have been elicited by greed; both of them profit monetarily from their wicked acts. But at least some of the players are motivated by means other than money. Many probably do it “for the power trip.” Some may do it because they have accepted “the teachings of Satan.” Some may have been born into it as the family norm.

Examining the Blanket’s Designer via Experience in War

This article is about what I see as a blanketing of the US domestic population with some sort of bad feeling, be it worry or hate, or hopelessness. I listed above, some ways in which a formal CIA program actually honed our government’s skills in that area. But today, the full blanketing involves, additionally, the physical disasters I referred to at the beginning: shootings, stabbings, fires, war preparation, election cheating, and SADS.

Remember, it’s my claim that the whole thing was worked out on a drawing board. I have no proof of that. I can only show that it is possible for human beings to do such a thing. So now, having said that it is definitely done on a small scale to MK-Ultra victims, I will provide a list of awful things that we do “wholesale” to entire countries. Again, my list will be miscellaneous:

1. We pretend that we are aiming at military targets while we knowingly aim at civilians.
(Note: the “we” I am using could mean any nation, not just the US.)
2. We use bioweapons to spread epidemics.
3. We meddle with a country’s economy, by sanctions, debt-creation, or sabotage.
4. We invariably manipulate elections, through misinformation, bribery or propaganda.
5. We create weather disasters and the consequent crop failures.
6. We commit atrocities and blame someone else — that is, we do false-flag operations.
7. We insert our personnel as spies and agents provocateurs.
8. We poison the environment with chemicals or radiation or vermin.
9. We assassinate an official or kill off a beloved social leader, to create humiliation or despair.
10. We encourage divisiveness by stirring up any opposing groups such as Christians versus Muslims.

There is no need for me to persuade the reader that a human being can do such things, as we do it admittedly and gloriously. “Congratulations to our brilliant military for producing floods in Vietnam which helped thwart the movement of the Viet Cong.” I note that several of the ten items are written up as crimes in international law — but that goes to show you what a fake deal international law is. (See my 1990 book, “Morality among Nations.”)

Fact is, all humans are equipped with a dual moral system. As Reinhold Niebuhr wrote in 1932, we are moral within our society, and simultaneously we are, as a nation (or lesser group), immoral to our opponent. In war, you don’t hold back — whatever does the job of defeating an enemy is OK. Yet most folks think of themselves as having only one consistent moral practice!

All that it would take, therefore, is for the blanketers to fiddle with their mind a little bit, to see us — the general population — as the enemy. In fact they do so, and have said so.

To add to their ease of hurting us, there is also the excitement of competition and conquest. Once you’ve seen a way to achieve something — as when our overlords see how easily they can bamboozle us through the press — you’d feel silly holding back. Discovery has its own dynamic.

So, Who Are the Blanketers?

Assuming the reader agrees that America is being hit with bad stuff, and is willing to venture a guess that it is a coordinated, deliberate blanketing, who is the coordinator? And what is the real motive?

I’m going to go for Occam’s razor here. William of Ockham, circa 1300, said the explanation with the fewest parts may be the right one. I honestly think the motive behind the jaw-dropping selfishness and meanness of the men at the top, is their ordinary selfishness (desire to survive), complicated by the hierarchical structure of human society whereby they have become alphas and need to kill all challengers.

To date I have never been able to persuade any of my friends of this. Because the whole thing looks so esoteric, folks can’t see it for what it is. I owe my insight (if it’s correct) to my years of studying sociobiology. As to the reason why we are seeing it now, and not before in history, I think it is because the top dogs have better means of pulling it off. Their weapons are tremendous.

Also, thanks to mind-control technique, they have perhaps converted millions of people to be their guards. At the moment, in US society, one can’t get anywhere by seeking help from the old familiar helpers: bishops, journalists, doctors, academics, judges, cops. Someone has somehow managed to shut down the moral instincts, and the truth-seeking instincts of most of those professionals. They are acting like zombies.

Getting Out of This Mess

I am trying to share the perspective that the blanketing is coordinated and that its truly ridiculous energizer is the selfishness of a tiny group at the top.
I hope this will cause some people to be less afraid of the bosses. I also hope (go on, tell me I’m a fool for this) that the big picture should prompt us to see that a national society — or possibly the whole species — is a unity. We can’t just fix things piecemeal.

I also hope (go on, tell me I’m a mental case) that the jerks at the top will figure out that they, too, got trapped.
And they really should come forward and ask for mercy. Especially on Thanksgiving.

Before God’s bountiful earth deteriorates to such an extent that there is nothing left to give thanks for.

Remember, warning shots at an aggressor might be used against you. Ammo is still not cheap, and getting killed yourself is worse. This example might be helpful in your future (reformatted, emphasis mine):

‘Don’t stop shooting until they’re down’: Homeowner says he ‘did the right thing’ when he fired at intruder who kicked in his door. Intruder died at scene

…The homeowner noted to KOCO that the intruder was looking for his ex-girlfriend and trying to get inside the home. What was going through his mind while the break-in was taking place? “Distance,” the homeowner told the station. “Don’t stop shooting until they’re down and even then, watch ’em because people play possum.”

The homeowner added to KOCO that the intruder had dropped off a friend there. “She had him drop her off here, and then she blocked him the next morning, and he decided to come over here because this is the last place that he knew she was,” the homeowner recounted to the station. The homeowner told KOCO that he used a security camera to watch the man on the porch of his home and asked him to leave.

Instead, the man got something out of his truck and returned to the door, the station said. “I was right up against the door looking out as I saw his back and his frame, and then I started to back up,” the homeowner told KOCO. “He kicked the door in. It hit me in the face. I pushed it back up against him, backed up and continued to back up.” He added to the station that he didn’t begin firing “until I saw his feet come in over my doorway.”

A next-door neighbor recounted to KFOR that he heard “pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. I mean, just, you know, as quick as someone could squeeze the trigger. I mean, it happened so fast … I walked outside and could smell gunpowder right away.”

The intruder was pronounced dead at the scene in the 3000 block of Westbrook Street in Chickasha, which is about 40 minutes southwest of Oklahoma City.

Yet another Darwin Award winner…

I know the Left thinks it has a monopoly on mobs (sorry, peaceful protests), but the Public Health Industrial Complex in The Dominion is escalating the war on bodily autonomy, which means it’s out there and could be here sooner than we think.

“So this has come out recently out of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. The college sent out a letter or a memo to all the doctors in Ontario suggesting to them now, so far, they’re not mandating it, they’re just suggesting it, that any of their unvaccinated patients, that they should consider that they have a mental problem and that they should be put on psychiatric medication. So far, it’s just a suggestion… “

Anyone surprised? Anyone? Not me. And don’t be surprised when the Vaccine Extremists on the Fascist Left insists that this makes perfect sense. But it’s still not the last step.

How do you make someone who refuses to get an experimental drug they don’t want or need to take psychiatric medicines they neither want nor need? You can’t unless you declare them mentally unfit and confine them. At that point, The State could force treatment upon whomever they chose using whatever drugs they decided you need, including their vaccine.

Is this what the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario intends? Is that the goal? Anyone who disagrees with the government and its cadre of complicit whitecoats gets a trip to the sanatorium until their head is where they need it.

And those who resist or to whom the reprogramming does not take? Do they just die suddenly?

We’re on dangerous ground here, people.

The post Progressive Medicine: If You Refuse “The Vaccine” You Should Be Treated with Drugs for Mental Illness … appeared first on Granite Grok.

Our elected representatives are supposed to represent the people who elect them. There will certainly be times when our elected representatives vote, or do not share our views on an issue. I think we all know how that works. But what happens when those you elect, decide that they do not want to hear from you.  

Erika Cohen seems to be taking her role as Derry School Board Chair to a new level.

As someone who frequently testifies before the New Hampshire House and Senate Education Committees, I found Cohen’s behavior at a recent school board meeting appalling. Granted the Chinese might welcome this kind of behavior from their comrades, in a free society where we elect our representatives to serve us, her behavior is appalling.

First parents must sit there for hours waiting to speak. They also have a foolish policy that says those who choose to sit there and speak, can only speak to items that are on the agenda. Nothing like limiting the speech from the public!

The courts have ruled that speakers can be limited on time and subject matter. However, those limits normally apply to someone who decides to get up and speak about subjects that have nothing to do with the school system. For instance, if a resident wanted to talk about the war between Ukraine and Russia, everyone would expect the Chair to limit those comments. But what about parents and residents who want to share their concerns about what is happening in the school? Erika Cohen has made it clear, she will only entertain topics that are either on the agenda, or topics she happens to like.

https://livestream.com/dcsdmedia/events/10683657/videos/233785829?fbclid=IwAR0pUdjThrKyTV8WX86N0zYETfpYFi90tWMdiPWbM9IPdkOYjl7WDlmIgUI

If you fast forward to 2:35:46, you will hear an exchange between a parent in Derry and the Board Chair. The parent brought a few topics to the Board, but when he addressed the abortion poster that was placed on the wall of the school recently. Cohen then shut down his comments. She said since the abortion poster wasn’t on the agenda, he could not speak about it. He then reminded her that he has asked that it be placed on the agenda, but that request was rejected too.  It seems like the good Comrade has made it impossible for this parent to ever bring his concerns to the school board.

 

 

I understand that some of these issues are not easy to hear about, but this parent was calm, respectful and wanted to be heard. One would expect parents to share their concerns during the school board meeting, but not under her watch. Who came up with this foolish policy to begin with? This policy should be reversed immediately. It restricts the free speech from those who pay taxes to run this school. Why run for the school board if you don’t want to hear about concerns from the community? Board members are there to serve their constituents.

Brenda Willis, who also serves on the board, was the only one with enough courage to assist the parent in an effort to hear his concerns. Public comments made during a school board meeting are the best way for parents and community members to address their concerns in a way that will result in action. But if you can’t share those concerns, how can anything get resolved?

One would think that a concerned and respectful parent in the community would be treated with a certain level of respect. The policy itself is disrespectful to the people paying taxes in Derry. To then pick and choose what concerns a parent can bring to the school board, tells the community that the Board Chair is going to dictate who is allowed to share their concerns about what is going on in the school, and who is not. They don’t care if you have concerns about how your money is being spent. So much for supporting and respecting the democratic process.

The message is clear to the taxpayers in Derry, pay your taxes but keep your mouth shut.

I would personally contact an attorney to talk about free speech rights during these public meetings. Based on court rulings, judges tend to side with the public when it comes to their objections to their speech being limited.  But that will take money out of the pocket of parents, so they tend to walk away frustrated and angry. The Board Chair will use taxpayer funded attorneys to defend the district if they are sued, taking advantage of the taxpayers in the community. It’s no wonder they act like tyrants instead of representatives.

I’d suggest that the Board Chair take a trip to Concord, and watch how our State officials conduct public meetings.  Learn some decorum and respect for the public who took their time to address the committees. For those who do not want to listen to the concerns from parents and residents, maybe you shouldn’t have run for office in the first place.

As I said in my earlier post (“The Biden Administration Is about to Add a $6/Gallon Tax When You Fill Up Your Car“), the Biden EPA mavens want to arbitrarily jerk your energy (For each and every energy source you utilize) from a tax of $1/ton to upwards of $190/ton. It IS (after all) their mission to save the planet.

Emphasis mine:

One of the great ironies of climate change activism today is that many of the movement’s most vocal proponents are also horrified by global income inequality. They are blind, however, to the fact that the costs of the policies they demand will be borne disproportionately by the world’s poorest. This is because so much of climate change policy boils down to limiting access to cheap energy.  -Bjorn Lomborg

The problem is, who is going to save the poor from these self-indulgent pooh-bahs that are convinced that they are the world’s best gift to the rest of us? Certainly, not those about to be sentenced to a subsistence standard of living while the rest of us are reduced to peasant status. And not, those that will be beaming with pride that they made themselves proud by making others miserable.

Actually, just made that up – they’re not proud at all. How can they be as they don’t care? Not a whit. Their greater purpose outweighs any collateral damage they may be causing.

And in 2024, never forget that the collateral damage is you. That is if you last that long. Heat or eat?  They don’t care if it’s both. Not even a dollop of empathy.

Can we just air-drop them into an active volcano so we can incinerate their carbon in a flash? And that would mean we’d be left alone?

The post Meme Overflow appeared first on Granite Grok.

I had an interesting experience this week that challenged me as a Conservative. It was noteworthy because I have always thought of myself as not close to the center, but when I had a blog twenty years ago, my tagline was “there is no room to my right.”

I am so committed to my Conservative and traditional ideals that I have sacrificed many friendships and relationships. Losing people in my circle was difficult, but compromising myself would have been more challenging. To have my position challenged this week was harsh and confusing. It made me question the very definition of the term.

Two labels that I have little use for are Libertarian and Independent. Libertarians believe that we can exist without any form of government. This belief is nearly impossible as a central government is essential for specific components of our life that, without, would result in anarchy. National security, a police force, a monetary system, infrastructure for travel, and control of who enters our country are but a few things that we must rely on a central government. That does not mean the central government has unfettered power but should be constrained by the people. An independent, in my view, is someone afraid to acknowledge an alignment to one side or the other. The political arena in America is so diametrically opposed that being neutral is illogical. To live in the middle is more of an indication of ignorance of the issues or the inability to formulate a position than a legitimate political ideology.

I will not define a Progressive, for I think that is a fluid stand. I see Progressives as people constantly searching for more creative ways that the government can provide for every need in life. Progressives are highly dependent individuals. Conservatives or Conservatism is easier to define and understand. Big “C” Conservatives believe in limited central government. We believe in local control, thus our love of the Republic versus a Democracy. We have an opportunity in America to decide where we want to live based on geography and ideology and still be proud Americans. My own life experience is an example. Born and raised in Massachusetts, I was expected to be a Democrat. It was a birthright of being born in the Commonwealth. As I grew and learned, that expectation did not work for me, and when I got married and started a family, we headed to the Granite State. Forty years ago, New Hampshire was a beautiful state rich in natural wonder and very Red and Conservative. New Hampshire in the 80s was where I was meant to be.

I live in a small town on the seacoast with a population of about 12,000. Doing some research on the town website, I was surprised to see more voters registered as unaligned than Democrat and Republican voters combined. If Conservatives are ever to be successful in winning an election in this town, we must reach out to the unaligned to join our ranks. If we choose to isolate ourselves and not communicate with anyone identifying as non-Conservative, then we do so at our peril, as the numbers are not in our favor.

When I published my Sunday Spotlight this week about Kevin Costner, I was accused of touching the third rail. I hope the person who said this, and I look forward to his comments on my articles, did not mean it in such a drastic manner. I can take the criticism as I have thick skin, but we cannot have this thinking and flourish as Conservatives. We are enjoying a swing back from the Radical Left. I hope we do not push the pendulum away by saying nobody left of center is welcome on our side of center.

I took some of the same fire months ago when I wrote about Tulsi Gabbard. I predicted at the time that she would cross the aisle. Though she has not declared herself a Republican, she has dissolved her association with the Democrat Party. Take a minute to listen to her podcast, and you will hear the voice of reason and Conservativism. It would have been a shame to slam the door and tell Tulsi she was not welcome in our tent. We need to invest in a giant tent and hope more Tulsis are willing to see the light.

Merrimack’s Democrats were unable to repeat their 2018 feat. That’s the year they managed to get four Democrats into the Statehouse from my town. This year they got three, and that is three too many, but they’ve got a problem. They won based on a lie.

Rung is by far the most prominent Dem in a still mostly Republican town. She was the only Left-Wing state rep to survive the 2020 purge – we sent three of four packings. And for 2022, she ran on the slogan People over politics. Anyone who ever had to deal with her or either of the other two who clawed their way back into office in the midterms knows it’s a promise they can’t keep.

They’ve probably already broken it. And that’s good news for Republicans if they can pay attention and take some advice.

Under no circumstance is Rosemarie Rung capable of putting people before her Left-Wing politics. All you need to do to prove it is screengrab her social media feeds. That goes for (the other two) as well. Save them to a folder titled “Name of Candidate: people over politics.” When the 2024 race heats up, you’ll have more ammunition than you could possibly need.

Every time she opens her mouth come campaign season, you can say, ‘before you believe her, she lied last time around,’ and bring the “receipts.” If you’ve done it right, you’ll never have to share the same screengrab twice. Can’t be trusted. Lies to voters. No integrity. You get the idea.

And it’s her own damn fault.

Unless she intends to turn over a new leaf.

We should start a pool. If she’s not already broken her people over political pledge, how long until Rosemarie Rung proves she lied on her campaign signs?

The Biden Administration is about to add a $6/Gallon tax when you fill up your car. Arbitrarily, by regulators – those faceless, unaccountable, unelected, and unassailable bureaucrats who are part of the Deep State that know better how you are to run your lives than you do.

And in this case, raising the cost of your next fill-up.  If you now pay $3.70/gallon at the pump, try $9.70 if they get their way. So if you have a 15-gallon fill-up, your cost will go from $55.50 to  $145.50:

EPA floats sharply increased social cost of carbon

EPA has proposed a new estimate for the social cost of carbon emissions, nearly quadrupling an interim figure that has already drawn legal challenges from a host of Republican-led states.

The metric puts a price tag on the damages created by each metric ton of greenhouse gas emissions. Agencies can then use it as part of their analyses of the costs and benefits of more stringent climate regulation on sources ranging from power plants and automobiles to the oil and gas sector.

The Biden administration has been using the Interagency Working Group’s interim value of $51 per metric ton of CO2. But earlier this month, EPA quietly proposed increasing that number to $190.

And that $51/ton was an almost instant overloading by the Biden Eco-Socialists from Trump’s Social Cost of Carbon that had been set at $1/ton. Nice to see that the price of our energy is at the whim of these ideologues.  Did they learn nothing from the 70s when OPEC quickly raised the cost of oil by over 100%? I remember that as I got my license just after the oil boycott started – from 25 cents/gallon to over 75 cents. My part-time high school job paid $2/hour. Do the figuring of my anxiety level.

No legislation is required. In fact, your elected representative is not even wanted. So much for “saving our Democracy,” as Dems have kept yammering at us this past election cycle. For Progressives, however, this IS their end game – for us to be ruled by a government of expert Administrators who, we keep being told, are totally non-partisan and altogether altruistic, with only the best wanted for the rest of us.

This shows that they believe they control the basic laws of Supply and Demand – or can dismiss them at their pleasure. Did they not learn anything from the collapse of the Communist top-down command systems? Have they even heard of the Great Mind Fallacy?

Lord, have mercy upon us, for they believe they are better than You are.

Hey, I have this unused bridge over here – sell it to you cheap if you have any money left over…

Remember that time on Twitter when a Federal Agency publicly stated that Ivermectin was for horses and cows, not people? That was The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They now claim that calling it horse paste wasn’t meant to prevent people from taking Ivermectin.

 

“The cited statements were not directives. They were not mandatory. They were recommendations. They said what parties should do. They said, for example, why you should not take ivermectin to treat COVID-19. They did not say you may not do it, you must not do it. They did not say it’s prohibited or it’s unlawful. They also did not say that doctors may not prescribe ivermectin,” Isaac Belfer, one of the lawyers, told the court during the Nov. 1 hearing in federal court in Texas.

 

It reminds me of the tale of the murder of Thomas a Becket. Four knights killed the Archbishop after overhearing their king being distraught by Becket’s actions. It was never Henry’s intention that the Archbishop be killed, but there it was, and there was no taking it back. All a misunderstanding.

And so it goes with the US Food and Rug Administration. “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all, Stop it.”

 

 

“Why you should not use Ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19.”

News and media sites went all-in with stories about how the FDA declared that Ivermectin was for horses and cows, not people. Our local ABC news affiliate did a biased, unbalanced, and incomplete report that included a picture of the Ivermectin horse paste. Yours probably did too.

The Local and national COVID Karens went wild, as CNN, MSNBC, and all the alphabet networks went to war based on Ivermectin based on one tweet.

Efforts to improve access to Ivermectin with legislation at the state level were met with resistance based on the FDA and the mountain of media lies that built up around it.

I guess they were kidding around.

But to my knowledge, the FDA never attempted to correct the record, not in any meaningful way, and that assault continued until they were sued this year in Federal court. In the interim, doctors and pharmacists came under assault by state and local boards of health and licensing over the off-label use of Ivermectin to treat patients at risk or with COVID-19.

A use that was permissible under FDA rules as the FDA long ago licensed Ivermectin for humans until politics stepped in to interfere. A politics the FDA deliberately invoked with their tweet.

I guess they were kidding around, but the FDA never came to the defense of doctors or Pharmacists being threatened by state or local boards of health or practice. Folks who may have had to lawyer up to defend their livelihood based on the perception of the FDA’s position, which it is now defending in court, as noted.

“The cited statements were not directives. They were not mandatory.” You might want to tell that to Democrats in Congress. They are framing Donald Trump over J6 based on even flimsier perceptions of his use of language.

Two other problems come immediately to mind. First, many people who could be alive if the FDA had never started the war on Ivermectin died.

Second, suppose the FDA gets the case dismissed. I think they may be throwing a lot of folks under the bus, like every state and local board of health or legislative body (and more than a few hospitals) that acted to infringe on the doctor-patient relationships based on the Tweet and the Media broadsides that followed.

 

[EpochTimes] The hearing was held in a case brought by three doctors who say the FDA illegally interfered with their ability to prescribe medicine to their patients when it issued statements on ivermectin, an anti-parasitic that has shown positive results in some trials against COVID-19. …

Plaintiffs in the case include Dr. Paul Marik, who began utilizing ivermectin in his COVID-19 treatment protocol in 2020 while he was chief of pulmonary and critical care medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School and director of the intensive care unit at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.

After the FDA’s statements, Marik was told to remove the protocol from the school’s servers while Sentara issued a memorandum to hospitals telling them to stop using ivermectin against COVID-19, with a citation to the FDA.

Marik was forced to resign from his positions because he couldn’t prescribe ivermectin due to the FDA’s statements, the suit alleges.

 

Did the FDA step in and correct the error made by Norfolk General Hospital (or any hospital?)? Not to my knowledge. Quiet as a church mouse until they needed to ask a judge to dismiss a complaint against them for actions directly resulting from their behavior.

Actions that should have significant downstream consequences no matter which way this goes.

Science used to be about comparing reality to your theory. These days it is about reshaping the perception of reality until it proves your theory. Global Warming (dba: climate change) is an excellent example. With the earth refusing to satisfy any of their predictions, the experts have taken to tampering with data.

Related: Have You Tried NASA’s New “Fudge”

One of the champions of exposing this fraud is Tony Heller at the Real Climate Science Blog. I’ve followed his work for years as he continues to launch broadsides into the climate establishments’ leaky hull.

He recently published a video explaining NOAA’s temperate tampering fraud and debunking their excuse for the tampering in the first place. And while we’ve cored bits and pieces of this here and there over the years, this puts it all in one place with graphs and a relatively easy-to-follow explanation.

We would be remiss in our mission if we did not share it with our readers.

This seems to be becoming an ongoing series of pondering topics that have made, are in the process of making, or may make, fundamental shifts in my thoughts about, and perspectives of, the world. 

Thus, I attempt to be a living testimony to the quote, purportedly by John Maynard Keynes (which is in dispute; see here); regardless of who said it, it’s a good quote:

“When the facts change, I change my mind – what do you do, sir?”

Or, quoting Bill Whittle in one of his videos… “I want to be where the truth is”.  Me too.  And if that means I change my position, then based on evidence & logic, I do so after suitable reflection.

These essays are premised on the concept of a “thought splinter” – a concept that penetrates cognitive shields against dissonant information to fester until a person’s consciousness has to turn and address it.  Previous entries:

Thought Splinters Part 1

Thought Splinters Part 2

Thought Splinters Part 3

Yes, there will be a Part 5 as I’m removing two topics from here so I can finish this one in something less than an eon.

 

CHEMTRAILS

For years I’ve heard people babbling about planes spraying chemicals into the atmosphere.  I’m an engineer.  I understand, intellectually, why jet engines flying at high altitudes have their hot steamy exhaust from burning hydrocarbons turn to clouds in trails.  The physics & thermodynamics of this process are plain and simple.  Thus, for decades, I’ve dismissed these chemtrail claims outright.

 

 

But then I started to see pictures of planes with tanks fitting into the passenger compartments.  Now, these are not tanks on pallets being shipped hither and yon and merely strapped down – which I could understand for cargo purposes.  I can even see some kind of bolt lagging for heavy tanks.  But these are tanks that look to be permanently, hard point installed IMHO.  I mean, really bolted down.  Some appear to have plumbing attached, headed somewhere.

 

https://granitegrok.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Chemtrail-video.mp4

 

WTAF?

Now please understand: I don’t want this to be true.  I’m not sitting on the couch in my foil hat salivating at every conspiracy theory that comes by, hoping the mothership takes me soon.  I. Do. Not. Want. This. To. Be. True.

But assuming the photos are real, and the multiple eyewitness testimonies (including a couple of pilots!) are real… and citing Occam’s Razor for the pictures… I see the simplest explanation being that there is a significant effort to spray something into our atmosphere.  What, possibly, could the innocent explanation be for planes with hard-plumbed tanks in plane cabins be?

Again, I want to be proven wrong.  But things like the above, and this, and more below, are making it increasingly difficult to dismiss a priori:

 

https://granitegrok.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Contrails.mp4

 

Spanish Meteorological Association says Spain is being sprayed.

The Thought Splinter of tanks hard-point attached, sometimes with plumbing, piqued my curiosity… and my very reluctant conclusion, therefore, is this: there is a significant, global effort to spray the entire planet with something.  Or several somethings.

Full disclosure.  I have not watched more than a few minutes of the almost two-hour video, below.  But something struck me watching it, as it struck me in general on this topic: the sheer HUBRIS to think that this can be controlled and fine-tuned without enormous ripple effects.  The earth is a system of feedback loops within feedback loops interacting with multiple other, similarly nested, feedback loops.  One cannot muck with one – the amount of sunlight coming down and hitting the surface – without staggering risk to the others.  And certainly not do it without a long period of open debate in which the public, who will bear the brunt of any potential negative effects, having the final say.

ALIENS ARE HERE

 

(Image source)

 

Given the enormity of the universe, I would be floored if Earth was the only planet to have life on it.  Heck, I’d be surprised if there weren’t other life islands even in our solar system (albeit not intelligent / technological life).  Given that enormity and long sweep of time, I would be likewise astonished if we were the only intelligent and technological civilization to have arisen.  But despite multiple claims at visitations and abductions, I’ve been highly skeptical of such claims.  After all, citing paranormal skeptic and debunker, the late James Randi, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof”.

My skepticism is being weakened.  It started crumbling as the US Navy declassified videos of encounters with craft with beyond-human capabilities emerged.  My skepticism got hit very hard when I heard a radio segment – I don’t recall what radio show it was, perhaps this Glenn Beck segment? – where one of these Navy whistleblowers recounted how a carrier had multiple radar traces from UAP encounters and, when it docked, a team came on board and confiscated the entire set of recordings of the event – to my understanding never to be seen again.  Huh?  Since when does that happen?  Since then we’ve had multiple other reveals, like these:

UFO sightings: Canada’s defence minister briefed | CTV News

Navy Intelligence Deputy Director Explains Bizarre UFO Sightings In Historic Hearing | (dailycallernewsfoundation.org)

And based on this interview, video below, I bought his book.  Full disclosure, I am reading but not yet finished, though his account of the USS Nimitz UAP encounter and aftermath is convincing and revealing; In Plain Sight: An investigation into UFOs and impossible science.

 

 

Taking his word at face value for he seems quite sincere, and his narration of things so far in the book don’t sound like someone foaming at the mouth crazy.  He appears quite cogent.  He’s also not rushing to validate what he wants to believe… right now I’m reading his very-skeptical  discussion of the so-called “Art’s Parts” artifacts.  Others are also moving towards this view (image from this link):

 

 

So the question, asked by Paul Joseph Watson, is why now?

 

 

And IMHO he’s right.  The threat of alien invasion would absolutely be a rationalization for One World Government to unite us against the threat.  Now I’ve read that the promised alien invasion will be staged; I’m not so sure given the above.  But then, assuming the pre-WWII reports are correct (let alone some of the primitive art stuff that is, admittedly, very subjective), they’ve been here for a long time.  If they truly wanted us dead, that would have been easy peasy by now.

So if they are here, and I’m far-far-far more open to that idea than even a few years ago… what do they want?

 

 

And an added thought.  I’ve commented to friends on the Globalist push, after the “flier” election of Trump interrupted the plan, to rush to get back onto some kind of fixed schedule.  Schedule for what?  They’re rushed, they’re panicked, they’re push-push-pushing to get back to their milestone dates.  Why?  Are the alien colonists on the way and they need to have the earth depopulated & subjugated in time for their arrival?

And an interesting diversion about aliens being here:

The missing plan for alien first contact – BBC Future

Building off the above article… if aliens do, indeed, arrive, and by dint of their being provably sentient beings thus have civil rights, how do we grant them?  And if sentience is the determining factor, what happens to agricultural farming if cows, sheep, chickens, etc., are shown to be sentient?  Lab meat, anyone?

Thought splinter: The revelations about Navy pilots (in particular) seeing UAPs aplenty.

Ads are a pain, and I get that sometimes they interfere with the site experience. I’m not a fan of that, so we are always looking for ways to keep the ad revenue and improve the experience. Ads help pay the bills but mostly allow us to bank money for bigger projects, needs, or site improvements. However!

We do not want ads that run contrary to our mission.

I received a message from one of our authors that they were seeing planned parenthood ads on page. I emailed the service that manages that stuff for us, and they very promptly blocked them, so if you did not see them, you will not (or should not).

They were very polite and prompt, resolving it for me overnight so homework time.

If you see ads on GraniteGrok that, like Planned Parenthood, are just way off our plantation, we’d like to know about them. The faster way for us to address concerns is for you to email me. Let me know whose ad it is and if possible right click on that ad and send me the link.

Right-click, not left. A left click will send you to the ads landing page, which you are free to do for ads that interest you.

I will take a look, and if it is something we do not want to promote on our pages, I will have it blocked.

One more note. While it may take a while, our to-do list includes a VIP/subscription model that would create an ad-free experience. Those of you who donate monthly will eventually – no timetable yet, sorry – be able to visit and enjoy either premium subscriber-only stuff or the content without any ads mucking things us. Possibly both.

It’s on the list.

And, as always, thanks for reading!

The FBI had inserted players “to look like Trump supporters,” inside the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, before the invasion began. How do I know this?

I know it because FBI director Wray could have said NO when Senator Rand Paul repeatedly asked him, at a hearing, if the FBI had players inside the Capitol Building to appear as Trump supporters before the invasion began.

So simple. If the answer were actually NO, Wray would have uttered it. Instead, he began by saying, “It is policy not to give away the locations of agents (etc, etc.).” He finally told Paul he would get back to him later with more detail.

No need to get back, Mr. Wray. We got it. It’s under control. Clear as crystal. Thank you for telling us. This is extremely important information. It colors everything.

Everything.

Thank you, too, Senator Paul. Thanks for putting the question in such a way. God knows you are always on the case.

Signed,

NH Layperson, future Speaker of the House

Aspen Hoffman is a boy. In Boy’s High School track, he’s ranked 56th at best and possibly 72nd, according to this report. But as a girl, he’s number one. And thanks to the State having no requirement for trans surgery or even hormone therapy, “Aspen” can keep his junk and his first-place finish.

Washington’s Seattle Academy High School girls’ cross-country team qualified for the state championship thanks to trans student, Aspen Hoffman.

 

I’d expect a few folks to look at this and say, ‘hey, this is a big opportunity for all the biological girls on that team who might not have made states without Hoffman.’ To that, I’d respond, so you are saying that these young women cannot succeed without help from a penis?

I can hear both factions of feminista’ losing their minds. The Trans-Feminists who support men parroting the female stereotypes they claim to abhor are pissed, as are the feminists who oppose allowing men to pretend to be women, especially where they put girls or women at risk or deny them an opportunity for success.

But they’re not the only ones with a grievance.

 

“[Hoffman] is larger than any of the girls, and shamelessly takes 1st place on the podium. Now my daughter is competing against a male for scholarships. And we can’t even say anything. You can’t even approach it in a nice way without being labeled a hateful bigot. You will get threats against you,” said one father.

 

Not to worry, he might be ogling them in “their” lockerroom the same way that “Lia” Thomas does.  And no, you can’t say a damn thing about it.

 

Parents are terrified to even raise concerns about Hoffman’s presence on the girls’ team. Another parent noted, “parents are upset but they know it has to go to the state committee, which isn’t politics, it’s the state high school board, and unless there’s any kind of pressure put on them to change the rule nothing’s going to happen.”

 

What is the rule? There isn’t one. None.  Washington followed the IOC’s watered-down walk backs on the question of men competing as women.

 

In 2007, the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) adopted the International Olympic Committee’s position, which stated that trans individuals could participate in sports in their reassigned gender, provided they had undergone surgery and a minimum of two years of hormone treatments. Then in 2018, WIAA updated its policy lifting the surgical component, “an MTF [Male to Female] student must have one calendar year of medically documented testosterone suppression therapy to be eligible to participate on a female team, consistent with WIAA policy.” However, in 2021 they disregarded all scientific reasoning and eliminated all requirements related to medical evaluation and hormone therapy.

 

Hoffman’s victory can only encourage more mediocre males to gender-bend their way onto female teams in search of stolen athletic glory. And they don’t even have to stop being sexually attracted to their teammates to do it.

And it is a hill on which Democrats are willing to die.

Did anyone with a wife, sister, or daughter want to rethink their votes on November 8th?

Anyone? Bueller?

At first, it reads like an innocent, happy event. “Join Emoji Nightmare and Katniss Everqueer, two of Vermont’s favorite drag queens, as they [as they] share stories and do a craft. Fun for the whole family!” [Warning: Adult Langauge/Topic]

We want to thank Verita Indago for this Op-Ed – Please direct yours to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.
You can review our ‘Op-Ed Guidelines‘ on the FAQ Page.

So reads the glowing event coverage written by a Kilton Public Library employee about a visit by Vermont man Justin Marsh who appeared in the drag persona he calls Emoji Nightmare.

“See more about Emoji and Katniss on InstaGLAM: @dragstoryhour.vt.”,

It’s not all happy rainbows and exclamation points after this. If you search for Emoji Nightmare on Instagram or you will see the most misogynistic, grotesque and hateful representation of a woman that can be imagined. If a professor were to ask their class to draw an image to convey the most extreme hatred and disrespect towards women, they could do no better than the cartoon character Justin Marsh created called Cumsterella, who is part of a musical project he created called Cum Dumpster.

Cumsterella depicts a crawling, naked woman with a trash dumpster for a head who has been ejaculated on (considering how she is shown to be dripping with semen and her dumpster head is overflowing) by what appears to be hundreds or thousands of men.

If the Justin Marsh/Emoji Nightmare wanted to tell the world how much he considered women to be trash and nothing more than a receptacle of male bodily fluid, this is the way to do it. Don’t tell me it’s just a joke. I’ve had it with jokes where women are the butt of the joke; this is no joke. It’s classic textbook misogyny. Where is the outrage?!

This is the artist who was invited by the Kilton Public Library in Lebanon, NH to read to children. Where are the feminists? Why are they silent?

In the new culture wars battling all around us, they seem to have been muted by a kind of battered women’s syndrome. Everyone is afraid to speak up and say something about Mr. Marsh/Ms. Nightmare being an obviously nightmarish choice for someone to read to children. Everyone that is but the brave Robert Nied, a former library trustee in Chester, Vermont who confronted this issue in May 2022.

Mr.Neid, who prides himself in carrying himself in the increasingly rare attributes of acting in a reasonable, calm, and professional manner, urged that an event featuring Mr Marsh/ Ms Nightmare reading to children in his community library simply be paused while the trustees took some time to think about it.

In his comments about it, he alluded to the Cumsterella cartoon displayed on the performer’s social media page. After that, he was attacked in ways he never expected. Neid soon after described them in his resignation letter as “unprecedented in their hostility, baseless, uninformed, untruthful and some are motivated by personal malice. In the last several days, I have faced insults shouted from a passing car and several public comments that cross the line into defamatory.”.

Neid was not alone in resigning from the Whiting Library Board. Five other trustees, nearly the entire board, and a librarian also resigned amid the fallout of his one suggestion that the library pause the proposed event, an entirely appropriate and responsible concern, and one that any good library trustee would advise.

But wait, there’s more;

“The Lebanon Public Libraries are dedicated to creating a culture of inclusion for every attendee, regardless of age, race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or spiritual belief.”

You can have a culture of inclusion in Lebanon, NH, unless you are a woman deeply offended by Mr. Marsh/Ms. Nightmare’s disgusting “art”. No culture of inclusion for you! You don’t matter, not to the performer or the people running the Kilton Public Library in Lebanon. They probably think they are kind and super aware and well-educated people but in reality, their actions are tone deaf and cruel, and they are too arrogant to consider otherwise.

So cruelly arrogant and blind, they see no hypocritical irony in reminding the public that they will not allow any discord or disagreement of any kind that could be considered biased language.Try it and you will be expelled immediately. Never forget, ladies-we do not matter to the powers that be who run the Kilton Public Library in Lebanon. Kindly be a lady and shut up and go along with (and pay for via taxation) this abuse happily or else you will be kicked out.

“Please note, any homophobic, racist, sexist, or otherwise biased language will not be tolerated. Any attendee who uses such language will be immediately removed from the event.”

 

Location: Kilton Community Room Event Type: Children’s Programming“ This is a ridiculous farce. It’s bullying and forcing silence in the face of disgusting insults to all women. Its bullying that is also the heihght of cowardise, of hiding behinda sexual minority group that cannot be critisized. Enough. It’s time to evolve beyond this societal dysfunction that allows abuse to fester unchecked. Years ago, people would have known this innately without needing it pointed out to them by me or anyone else but now, we are not just being told to be silent, we must pretend not to notice being made into the worst possible kind of sexualized joke. Don’t continue going along with it like it’s nothing. Wake up! Be courageous! Say something! Nobody should get a pass for making offencive epiteths against women simply because they personally belong to a sexual minotrity but that is exactly what happened in Lebanon this past weekend. Do not leave this kind of world to our daughters and granddaughters!

Joe Biden has been talking about the “fair share” for years,

usually when he talks about the rich paying their Federal taxes. Nobody defines fair share because there is no number to define such an abstract variable. Is it 15%, 25%, or 40%? Who knows because Joe does not know himself? There is no answer, but Biden knows that bringing up the subject gets his side riled up because “fair” is one thing they love. Joe never mentions that 50% of the population pays no taxes, but they are the recipients of the bulk of the social benefits. Maybe while we are talking fairness, how about Joe Biden disclose all of the monies that were funneled to him through his Son, Hunter? The Biden Cartel received millions in the last decade, yet none has been reported as income. So that harkens to the question: What is your fair share, Joe?

Taxes are not the only situation where fairness should be considered. For the last year, Joe Biden has been pledging billions of dollars in weapons and aid to the Ukraine government battling for its life and sovereignty. Nobody will argue that Ukraine and her people do not deserve our support, but let’s look at how countries worldwide are stepping up to give their “fair share.” Biden has claimed that he has used his years of experience and influence to unite the world, especially the NATO members. The irrational actions of Vladimir Putin directly threaten them. Yet, as usual, the United States is carrying the world on its back.

With the $39 Billion that Biden requested last week, the United States has given Ukraine nearly $100 Billion in military equipment and monetary aid. The rest of the countries combine for less than $40 Billion. See the image below and look at how much the rest of the free world thinks of Ukraine and its struggle for existence. There is very little accounting for where are dollars have gone or are used for, which is a serious problem and will probably force the new Congress to halt future funding. This sets up a battle between the Biden Administration and the House. This is especially true after General Milley announced last week that the United States was in for the long haul, and there was no limit to what it will cost.

This comment by Milley was wrong and should not have come from someone in the Pentagon. He is talking about spending our money as if the amount is trivial and the supply unending. This discussion of finances went on while Biden was pledging our money to the Climate Culture crowd like a drunken sailor on leave. He is talking about $100 billion dollars for a cause that most of America do not believe is a crisis. A good portion of these funds would go to underdeveloped countries as reparations. Why do countries that have grown and bettered themselves owe countries that have been content living in the past? It isn’t very smart, and the new Congress in January will not let Biden make good on these pledges. Thank God for even a slim majority in the House.

While world leaders are throwing money at Ukraine and Climate Change, people will be freezing to death in the United States and Europe because the cost of fuel and food is forcing them to make a decision; food or fuel. This winter brings a real existential threat to these people while our politicians are too busy to deal with reality. It is past time to reel these faux leaders in.

New Hampshire’s Executive Council will vote today on whether to launder tax dollars into the pocket of a well-heeled Republican donor.

This story is developing, but here are the basics from a reader.

 

Steve Duprey purchased a vacant building called Granite One in Concord for  about 2.9 million in June ’22. The parking garage was in horrible shape so it needed a new one.

The best place to build it is where the Attorney General’s office is, so we spend $1 million to tear down a building worth $ 4.8 million and now need to relocate the NH DOJ .

Duprey *offers* to lease the state his building for $3.5million/year for a 20 YEAR LEASE ($70M) or to sell it to the state for $15 Million.

The lease is a triple net lease which means the state pays all maintenance all repairs and all taxes in addition to rent.

 

Duprey is a wealthy former NH RNC Committeeman and a long-time RINO donor to suitable candidates (mostly Republicans, but he’s donated a few bucks to Dems like Dan Feltes and Andru Volinsky). And not all RINOs, if you care. But if the Executive Council approves any version of this plan, Steve Duprey will be rewarded for his commitment to the Granite State’s crony politics laundromat. Your tax dollars to donors through (in this case) what appears to be unnecessary and very expensive development.

And if this is all correct, and this story is still developing, the only winner, in my opinion, is Duprey.
