After being called a conspiracy theorist and being censored, I now present you with the specific details of the evidence showing Hunter Biden, Devon Archer, Joe Biden, Christopher Heinz, James Biden, and the late Beau Biden's corrupt financial transactions. Recently, I presented government documentation and government contracts showing the U.S. government's financial interest in the Ukrainian Bio-Labs and the financial connections between Rosemont Seneca and Ch2M, Metabiota, and Black & Veach. Joe Biden's Brother James Biden was a minority partner in Hillstone International, a subsidiary of Hill International aka CH2M Hill, who not only was awarded over $1 billion in government construction contracts between 2010 and 2014 with no prior completed construction projects but also currently holds government contracts for operations involving the Bio-Labs in Ukraine. CNN and other large MSM sources claimed that Hunter Biden never received $3.5 million from Rosemont Seneca by way of Devon Archer, and I now prove that wrong. Hunter Biden not only received the money but was wired money to 4 different accounts, all of which I provide the account numbers for in the video. I also provide the entire account details that the money was wired from. Below is a link to the statements themselves, which are stamped as Evidence of the Department of Justice. The statements also show transactions washed through a corrupt Latvian Bank, and Devon and Hunter's dealings with the Bank of China. The Biden Family has a substantial conflict of interest and illegal ventures in China and Ukraine and this can not be ignored any longer. #Ukraine #BioLabs #JoeBiden #HunterBiden #JamesBiden #DevonArcher #ChristopherHeinz #DepartmentofDefense #DepartmentofState #DepartmentofJustice #RosemontSeneca #Burisma #Metabiota #HillstoneInternational #CH2M #JohnKerry #DonGraves #BankofChina   Rosemont Seneca c/o Devon Archer Account Statements from 2014-2016: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6003585-Rosemont-Seneca-Bohai-Bank-Records-Listing.html The case regarding Steven Graves corruption in handing out government contracts between 2010-2013: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/texas-construction-company-s-owner-and-ceo-sentenced-prison-defrauding-state-department The article specifies Hunter Biden's Connection to the Ukraine Bio-Labs.

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. I hope you’ll join me in signing the AAPI Visibility Pledge to support Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.After launching my second podcast, Companies That Care, I’ve started alternating each week. This week I interview Christine Carino, a queer nonbinary immigrant from the Philippines. Her grit and resilience story led to her life’s work with underrepresented groups and communities as a transformation coach and consultant. Born and raised in the Philippines, Christine had to navigate a religious, patriarchal society.  Christine became aware of her place as a woman at an early age, having to always give way to her brothers. She remembers having her first girl crush in fourth grade. “I was attracted to my best friend at that time, and I didn't know what it was because no one explained it to me. There was no representation on TV."Any curiosity or exploration of this same-sex attraction was shut down, and the comment that made the biggest impact was when a family member told her, “Please do not tell me that you're gay.”After that, Christine did everything in her power to present femme, or more feminine, trying to make herself straight until she fell in love in college. She was outed by her conservative Christian aunt and uncle, who sent her to conversion therapy. She felt more shame and guilt about her identity. “I was very spiritual growing up. I've always believed in a higher power that was taking care of me…so hearing that this higher being doesn't love me because of who I am was painful…why would a God that speaks of love be unable to accept someone like me?”Soon after the conversion therapy and she had graduated from college, Christine moved to New York with her mom and brother. “Moving here as an immigrant and starting from scratch was definitely an experience.”Moving to the United States felt like starting over. She had only $100 to her name when she moved to New York. I interviewed Christine before the Atlanta shootings that targeted Asian-Americans, but Asian-American hate crimes were still on the rise. I asked her about what it’s like being a Filipino immigrant. She admits it’s been difficult, but she also has had to unlearn anti-Blackness and colorism that she learned as a child.“I'm darker skinned, and I was always compared to my sister who was lighter skinned…she's considered the prettier one.”Christine didn’t understand how systemic colorism was until she came to the United States. She realizes that as an Asian-American, she has certain privileges compared to her Black counterparts. “There are challenges and struggles, but I can acknowledge that there's deeper and more violent struggles and challenges towards the black community.”I asked Christine about being nonbinary. It is how she transcends beyond gender social constructs. “I don't want to follow any rules...Masculine roles need to look vulnerable, loving, kind, compassionate, and female roles can look courageous and assertive and be fierce and powerful.”Christine uses the pronouns she, her, and siya (pronounced sha), a gender-neutral pronoun in Tagalog.As a transformation coach with Conscious Thrive, Christine helps underrepresented executives and leaders to reconnect with their authentic selves so they can live and lead consciously and create impact on their own terms. Next week I interview Ozzie Gonzalez on the Companies That Care podcast. I used to work with Ozzie at CH2M HILL. Last year he was Portland’s first Latino candidate for mayor. We talked about what he’s doing now, Portland, Mexico, and sustainability.

If you like what you hear or read, visit my Fertile Ground Communications page on Patreon and find out how you can support my work.I interview two of my CSR mentors. Elisa Speranza chaired the CH2M Foundation board, and Ellen Sandberg was executive director. We spoke about how CH2M rebooted its foundation and invested in sustainable development around the world. CH2M was an engineering firm founded in 1946. By 2016 it had become a $6 billion global project management powerhouse, with 20,000 employees and thriving, award-winning sustainability and corporate citizenship programs, including a charitable foundation. The company was acquired by Jacobs in 2017.  Elisa Speranza was a VP and chair of the CH2M Foundation board. She helped to relaunch the foundation in 2013 by hiring Ellen Sandberg; rebooting the board; redefining the mission; and identifying strategic giving pillars: STEM education, sustainable communities, and employee engagement.In 2014, the foundation formalized relationships with 10 strategic partners to focus giving for greater impact, and also established a disaster matching gift program for employees. During Ellen's time as executive director, the foundation:Equipped teachers and students around the worldPartnered with clients such as Dow and The Nature Conservancy in STEM educationFocused on volunteerism, building seven footbridges with employee volunteers from around the world with Bridges to ProsperitySet a policy requiring donations to support STEM education or environmental stewardship to  align with clients' goals Broke records for its workplace giving program in support of Water For PeopleI had the fortune of working with both Ellen and Elisa as the marketing communications manager for CH2M's sustainability and corporate citizenship programs, including the CH2M Foundation. As for Ellen, she describes her role as executive director of the CH2M Foundation as “definitely my most meaningful corporate social responsibility role to date.” Before Ellen was hired, CH2M HILL's foundation was taking an old-fashioned approach, giving checks to universities where executives had gone to school and supporting the CEO's favorite causes in Denver. Listen to the podcast to learn how they overcame stumbling blocks and persuaded people that this was the right approach. To determine the strategic giving pillars for the foundation, they started with the company's strategic plan and our company values and aligned corporate giving policies with those values.CH2M tied its giving goals with its business priorities, so STEM education and sustainable community-building were critical areas of focus. The other emphasis was employee volunteerism, and the foundation provided plentiful opportunities for employees to volunteer their technical skills to build sustainable infrastructure. CH2M earned multiple accolades and awards for our commitment to sustainability and corporate citizenship, including the World Environment Center (WEC) Gold Medal Award for International Corporate Achievement in Sustainable Development and garnering the #22 spot on FORTUNE's Top 50 Companies That Change the World. We wished we were all in one place, sharing a glass of wine. It was a wonderful trip down memory lane!

Quantum Quote: “the iPhone has 100,000 times more computing power than an entire Apollo rocket ship that went to the moon”  Karl Rabago led renewable energy research and development programs for the United States government, did advocacy work with the Environmental Defense Fund, consulting work with engineering firm CH2M Hill, policy analysis with the Rocky Mountain Institute, ran Regulatory Affairs in 28 countries for AES, and launched a greenhouse gas credit business with GE energy. Karl is the founder of the groundbreaking “Value of Solar” concept where we move beyond paying for what solar costs. Where CONsumers become PROsumers who also generate our own energy and are paid the real higher VALUE that energy is worth. SuperNova #1. “When we run a scenario to electrify the economy and reduce carbon emissions by 95%... we can see 5 trillion dollars in energy savings for the people in the United States by 2050…  It's a win win, win, win win win scenario - you notice everything about it and the jobs, multiply… and the savings multiply, and the rates go down.” SuperNova #2. What stands in the way is anything we've ever done before, which is usually what stands in the way of everything we want to do. SuperNova #3.  Here it comes again. It's going to come in another way, and it'll work for you. And it'll probably be better. And you'll be telling stories to your great grandkids about how you were here when they used to just make electricity at power plants. SuperNova #4.  Think of all the ways to ask good questions. If you need something from someone, especially a bureaucrat, the best question to ask is: what would you do if you were me? It invites them to be in your space. Worst Clean Energy Moment – Coming up with a great new idea – the “Value of Solar” – and then getting attacked for it by his friends in the solar industry because it was too different.  Ah-Ha:  Deciding to call it a simple name - the value of solar - so everyone (regulators, utilities, average people) could understand it. Best Advice he's ever received: “Saw the wood that's in front of you”. Focus on what you're doing and do it as well as you can, and that will lead to great opportunities.  Personal Success: Don't be afraid to ask questions. Try ideas out on people. Ride a bike or spend other time NOT thinking about work. Start the day with an hour of current industry news so that the patterns form in the back of your head while you work on the stuff in the front. Internet Resources:  Energy and Environment Twitter sources. Book Recommendation: Ishmael, by Daniel Quinn. Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold. Magic Wand – The best part of COVID without the disease. Talk to our neighbors instead of driving by each other. Be polite while standing in line, because we believe we are sharing in a common effort. Ask questions about what is important in life. Spend more time with our family. Get back to community. One thing that Energizes today – Community Solar & Vibrant Clean Energy https://www.vibrantcleanenergy.com/. Applying big data modeling to the energy sector and finding the savings that we can have. Getting carbon-negative jet fuel from corn & good farming. WTF or F -  Looking up into the eye are the center of a hurricane in 2008  Parting Advice – Step up and step in. Everybody has something to offer in solving the problems that affect us all. Step up and listen to other people, and step into the dialogue.
