It's titled 3 Sustainable Investing ETFs for Eco-Conscious Investors and it's by Shweta Kumari. It was seen on stocknews.com. Here are some quotes. “1. American Century Sustainable Growth ETF (ESGY - Get Rating) This fund targets the U.S. public equity markets, focusing on companies across various sectors, including growth and value stocks of large-cap companies, specifically those within the market capitalization range of the Russell 1000 Growth Index. American Century Sustainable Growth ETF emphasizes investing in socially conscious businesses that actively promote environmental responsibility.

It's titled 7 Best Green Mutual Funds to Fight Climate Change and is by Jeff Reeves and reviewed by John Divine. It's found on money.usnews.com. Here are some brief highlights on each of the picks from the article. “1. Parnassus Core Equity Fund (PRBLX) Assets under management: $30.1 billion Expense ratio: 0.82% Minimum investment: $2,000 The Parnassus Core Equity Fund is the leader among green mutual funds when it comes to assets under management. That said, it's not perfect or particularly flashy. It… is designed to be a core large-cap fund as much as a green mutual fund. That said, investment manager Parnassus has made a name for itself by linking traditional fundamental analysis with an overlay of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors… Parnassus Core Equity Fund is well established with the largest asset tally of this group, making it a logical starting place for many investors. 2. Calvert Equity Fund (CSIEX) Assets under management: $6.8 billion Expense ratio: 0.91% Minimum investment: $1,000 Calvert is an investment adviser that prioritizes ESG in its approach, with a 40-year track record of ‘responsible' investing that takes into account sustainability and environmental factors, among other criteria… The fund is not designed to hold solar stocks or wind turbine manufacturers but rather large-cap domestic stocks that rank highly for their internal programs such as purchasing carbon offsets or building LEED-certified headquarters. Still, if you want to look beyond conventional index funds, then [this fund] is a good green mutual fund to consider. 3. Putnam Sustainable Leaders Fund (PNOPX) Assets under management: $6.6 billion Expense ratio: 0.92% Minimum investment: None This Putnam offering is another of the largest and most respected sustainable investing options out there. It's also a focused… as it ‘invests in companies that have demonstrated leadership in key sustainability issues that are financially material to their business context,' according to official documentation from its manager Franklin Templeton. One notable downside that investors should consider before buying in: There are some high front-end costs associated with [the fund], which has a maximum initial charge of 5.75%. 4. Amana Growth Fund (AMAGX) Assets under management: $2.8 billion Expense ratio: 0.91% Minimum investment: $100 Very accessible with just a $100 minimum investment, this Amana Growth fund from Saturna Capital is incredibly unique in that it bills itself as ‘halal' – or fitting the religious requirements of Islam… That means you won't find businesses that focus on alcohol, pornography or gambling. And interestingly enough, you won't find a penny in finance because strict Islamic law prohibits demanding interest on loans. 5. Fidelity U.S. Sustainability Index Fund (FITLX) Assets under management: $4.2 billion Expense ratio: 0.11% Minimum investment: None A cost-effective option, Fidelity U.S. Sustainability Index Fund… is a sustainability-focused mutual fund that charges just a fraction of what the other funds on this list charge. It is also the most wide-ranging of the green mutual funds so far, with 285 total stocks in its portfolio. That doesn't mean it's all that more diversified, however, as it is weighted by size – so mega-cap stocks like Microsoft (MSFT) and Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) dominate the portfolio. 6. Calvert Small-Cap Fund (CCVAX) Assets under management: $2.9 billion Expense ratio: 1.19% Minimum investment: $1,000 Calvert Small-Cap Fund is definitely the most expensive fund on this list from an annual fee perspective. That's in part because mutual funds generally have higher costs than their exchange-traded cousins, but it's also because this is a boutique offering with an active approach. 7. Parnassus Mid Cap Fund (PARMX) Assets under management: $3 billion Expense ratio: 0.96% Minimum investment: $2,000 With a focus on mid-sized corporations and an average market value of about $30 billion, this investment vehicle offers a way to invest sustainably in established firms but not necessarily duplicate positions you might own in a traditional large-cap fund.

However, buying low and selling high is generally the best approach when buying investments. So, for those of you who favor this approach and are interested in renewable energy stocks, this article is for you. It's titled 3 Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy at 52-Week Lows in July by InvestorPlace and seen on markets.businessinsider.com. Here are some quotes. “While buying stocks that are at their 52-week lows is risky, on the other hand, it could present a massive upside opportunity. Thus, it is important for investors to understand exactly why the stock is down before jumping into buying. For investors looking for cheap green energy, below are the three best renewable energy stocks to buy at an all-time low in July. 1. Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) specializes in hydrogen fuel systems which are used to replace traditional batteries powered by electricity… Currently, its stock price is almost at an all time low – it dipped to $3.07 per share compared to $12.76 per share just a year ago… The company recently finished deploying 13 hydrogen refueling stations (HRS) in Europe, making Plug Power the largest owner of hydrogen refueling stations with over 250 stations globally. 2.

Please go to this podcast's webpage for links to the actual articles for more company and stock information. Also, some companies might be covered more than once and there are also 4 article links below that time didn't allow me to review them here. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Impact, Solar, and ESG Stock Buys This first article lists three stocks, it says, are for the long-term sustainable investor. The title Building a Sustainable Portfolio: 3 ESG Stocks to Buy and Hold. It's by Josh Enomoto and found on investorplace.com. Here's some of what Mr. Enomoto says about his picks. “1. Iron Mountain (NYSE:IRM) An enterprise information management services firm, Iron Mountain focuses on records management and data backup and recovery services… According to Investor's Business Daily, Iron Mountain ranks as number 50 on its list of 100 best ESG companies of 2023.

Analysts rate Clean Harbors a consensus moderate buy with an average price target of $186.57.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Impact, Solar, and ESG Stock Buys My second article is unusual and you'll see why in a moment. It's titled These 5 small-cap impact stocks are making social change. Written by Ari Zoldan and found on marketbeat.com. Now some of what Mr. Zoldan says about the stocks that are specifically publicly listed. “1. Vision Marine Technologies (NASDAQ:VMAR) The company offers electric outboard motors for boats. Vision Marine enjoys a first-mover advantage, as its E-Motion outboard motor, announced at the Paris Boat Show in December 2022, is the only turnkey solution available to boat manufacturers… 2. Ideal Power (NASDAQ:IPWR)  The company offers a proprietary semiconductor switch that's much more energy-efficient than most other offerings on the market… [It] offers significant benefits to energy-efficient devices and products, electric vehicles and EV charging, green energy and energy storage, utility infrastructure, and data centers. 3. Verde Bioresins Verde Bioresins is expected to go public via a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). [That company] TLGY Acquisition Corp. is trading under the ticker ‘TLGY,' but after the merger, its name will change, and Verde Bioresins will trade under the ticker ‘VRDE.' Verde's PolyEarthyleneTM bioresin is a high-performance alternative to many petroleum-based plastics… The company estimates the total addressable market for its product at around $300 billion, or roughly half of the total market for petroleum-based plastics. 4. Draganfly (NASDAQ:DPRO) Although it might seem like drones have only been around for the last five to 10 years or so, Draganfly has been in the business for over 20 years... Today, drones have many uses across multiple industries, including humanitarian efforts, public health and safety, military and government, environmental and energy-related industries, agriculture, and insurance. As a result, Draganfly's offerings present dozens of potential social impacts.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Impact, Solar, and ESG Stock Buys And now back to our familiar clean energy theme with this article titled 3 Clean Energy Stocks That Can Survive Anything. It's by Tyrik Torres and found on investorplace.com. Here are some quotes by Mr. Torres from his article on his recommended stocks. “1. Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE:BEP) is one of the largest renewable power companies in the world. Its portfolio boasts over 21,000 megawatts (MW) of capacity across hydroelectric, wind, solar, and storage facilities. The company is majority owned by Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE:BAM), an alternative investment manager equity firm… Higher interest rates have negatively impacted Brookfield Renewable Partners near-term share price growth. However, as clean energy stocks come back into favor, buying Brookfield Renewable Partners' [stock now] is a smart move. 2. First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) A number of earnings beats throughout 2023 should keep First Solar on clean energy investors' watchlists… First Solar announced a new manufacturing site in the U.S., adding to manufacturing capacity… First Solar could see its intrinsic growth rate boosted in the long term. 3. Ormat Technologies (NYSE:ORA) primarily engages in the geothermal and recovered-energy power business in the U.S., Indonesia, Kenya, Turkey, Chile, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Ethiopia, and Honduras. Last year, Ormat derived approximately 86% revenue from generating electricity through its geothermal plants and recovered energy-based power plants… With valuation multiples essentially halved since January, Ormat looks like an attractive investment opportunity.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Impact, Solar, and ESG Stock Buys With so many solar stocks down, this article might add some light to the gloom.

It's by Jonathan Schramm and found on securities.io. Now some of what Mr. Schramm has to say about each of his picks. “This list was made to reflect the diversity of the sector, and is organized by market capitalization at the time of writing of this article. China Power Co., Ltd. (600900.SS) China Yangtze Power is the largest electric power company in China and the largest hydropower company in the world, with 71.7 GW of total capacity installed. The company also has hydropower businesses in Brazil, Sudan, Pakistan, and Malaysia, and wind power generation in Germany. Iberdrola, S.A. (IBE.MC) Iberdrola is one of the world leaders in green energy generation… Iberdrola operates mostly in Spain, with operations in the rest of Europe, North America, and Brazil… Ørsted A/S (DNNGY) The Danish energy producer has gone through a massive transformation, from 2006 when it produced 83% of its power from fossil fuels to 2022 with only 8% left over, and on track to reach 99% renewable production by 2025. Half of this power generation is from offshore wind farms, with the rest roughly equally split between solar and onshore wind farms… Orsted has wind farms in Denmark, the UK, Germany, the US, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Vestas Wind Systems A/S (VWDRY) Vestas is a designer, manufacturer, and installer of wind turbines… It controls 35% of the wind manufacturing market excluding China, up from only 20% in 2010… It is also the only one with a (strongly) positive EBIT (Earnings Before Interests and Taxes), thanks to its economies of scale… Vestas has recently unveiled a new epoxy chemistry allowing for full recycling of wind turbine blades. First Solar, Inc. (FSLR) First Solar is the largest solar panel manufacturer in the USA and in the whole Western hemisphere… The company… uses its proprietary thin-film photovoltaics. Based on cadmium-telluride, they are more efficient, are produced at a lower cost, and can be easily mass-manufactured. Thin-film solar panels are also more durable, retaining 89% of the original performance after 30 years… Thin-film panels can also have high recycling rate. Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (BEP) Brookfield Renewable Partners, or BEP, is part of the massive asset management firm Brookfield, handling $625B in assets, which owns 48% of BEP… The current assets are a mix between hydropower, wind, and solar, with the bulk of the future production growth planned to be in solar, followed by energy storage and wind… Another important development for BEP in 2023 is the closing of the acquisition of Westinghouse, the leading nuclear plant builder in North America… BEP  has generated annualized returns of 16% for its shareholders since 1999… It also… distributes a rather generous dividend. Ormat Technologies, Inc. (ORA) Ormat is the 2nd largest geothermal owner and operator, and the largest publicly traded. The company has assets in the US, Kenya, Indonesia, and Central America+Caribbean… Ormat is also entering the energy storage market… Revenues grew by 10.7% in 2022, maintaining a strong growth trajectory since 2017… Geothermal is… able to provide stable baseload power and benefit from quickly improving technology. Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. (SHLS) Shoals is specialized in EBOS (Electrical Balance of System), or all the systems surrounding the solar panel themselves and which are required to make it work. This does not include inverters, but cables, switches, fuses, electric boxes, etc.... Between 2020 and 2022, Shaols has grown its revenues by 36% CAGR and its gross profit by 40% CAGR. Daqo New Energy Corp. (DQ) This Chinese company is one of the world's leaders in polysilicon production, the central component for solar panel manufacturing… In 2023, the stock is trading very cheaply compared to P/E or cash flow. This is partially due to controversies, with the company linked to the use of forced labor in Xinjiang, and talks in Washington DC of additional sanctions against companies operating in the region. JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (JKS) Jinko is one of the largest solar panel manufacturers in the world, based mostly in China. The company is diversifying its manufacturing base, with silicon wafer manufacturing in Vietnam, and solar cell manufacturing in Malaysia and the US… Module shipments to China have doubled year-to-year, and increased 50% for Europe.

This week we're covering two topics. Firstly, UAP whistleblower David Grusch's past struggles with PTSD and suicide are published, sparking claims that the intelligence community is attempting to discredit Grusch and intimidate other witnesses. Then, we get weird, discussing a Reddit post where a molecular biologist claims to have worked in a program studying the genetics of alien bodies for a defense contractor. The details are fascinating, and there's some indications that the scientist may be legit. Chuck and I are especially fascinated by his claims about the alien's religion, belief in a “soul field.” https://www.patreon.com/VeryExcitingTime References The Debrief: The Struggles of a Whistleblower: Separating Fact from Fiction in the Latest UAP Revelations Ken Klippenstein: “Multiple people told me to look at run ins with law enforcement.” Ross Coulthart: “The tip could only have come from Grusch's security files.” Tim Burchett: “Someone needs to lose their job.” George Knapp: “Attempted slime job on Grusch is a warning to other whistleblowers” Lue Elizondo: “A veteran's PTSD should NEVER be used against them.” Reddit: “I worked as a molecular biologist in a program to study EBOs.”

The good guys dressed in black, remember that Weirdos! Welcome to another week of weird with your two favorite freaks!  Each week we have the pleasure of hanging out and chatting about something WEIRD and it's the greatest honor to do it with YOU!! This week Ashley has an ENORMOUS alien update in a new segment we are calling ZED WE HAVE A BUG!  Obviously you all know that congress just held a hearing about UAP and UAP disclosure but what you may not know is whats happening on the DL.  Ashley checked the tabloids, reddit and other dark corners of the internet to find out what was happening in the world of UFOs outside of congress.  Starting with SEDGE MASTERS - a three article series from UFO Magazine in 1998 that is getting some new attention, a MYSTERY MAN posting on Reddit claiming to be a molecular biologist who worked on EBOs (aliens) from 2000-2010 and supposedly knows exactly what they are and where they come from, and finally we are taken on a bumpy ride by ERIC HECKER a firefighter and plumber (it will make sense when you listen) who was contracted to work on a base in Antarctica by none other than RAYTHEON-- and he claims that they are up to no good down there. Now, all of that is pretty heavy.  Which is why we are grateful to have Lauren here to bring us a THIS WEEK IN WEIRD about the final capture of a con-man who escaped from prison FIVE YEARS ago and was just arrested last week.  And she brings a fun GO QUESTIONS question about whether or not we'd help our loved ones cover up a murder.   Check out the links below for your own personal reasearch!  Head over to our youtube channel at www.youtube.com/keepitweirdpodcast and SUBSCRIBE to our channel to help us get that beast monetized, follow us on social media @keepitweirdcast and check out our patreon at www.patreon.com/keepitweirdpodcast to find ways you can help produce our show and get goodies in return like BONUS EPISODES, AD FREE EPISODES, DISCOUNTS ON MERCH and a MONTHLY NEWSLETTER TWIW: Con Man Goes to Jail... again https://fortune.com/2023/08/05/escaped-fraudster-alan-todd-may-found-living-large-in-florida/amp/ ZED WE HAVE A BUG: Sedge Masters:  https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/15fk7al/sedge_masters_details_from_the_1998_articles/ https://richarddolanmembers.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Sedge-Masters.pdf https://richarddolanmembers.com/articles/rdm/   Mystery Biologist: https://www.reddit.com/r/aliens/comments/14rp7w9/from_the_late_2000s_to_the_mid2010s_i_worked_as_a/   Antarctica Problems: https://www.howandwhys.com/eric-hecker-testimony-disclosure-project/ https://www.sott.net/article/339039-Nazis-E-Ts-Deep-States-the-Admiral-Byrd-Expedition-and-the-Exposure-of-Antarcticas-Hidden-Realms  

Welcome to Higher Density Living, where we delve into the profound principles that govern the universe. In this episode, Alexander and Jason will discuss Exo-Biospheric Organisms. As humanity continues to expand its knowledge of the cosmos, the search for extraterrestrial life remains one of the most intriguing and significant scientific endeavors. This episode delves into the enigmatic world of EBOs, discussing their potential existence, characteristics, and implications for our understanding of life beyond our planet. This breakthrough went viral in a Reddit social forum.   The interesting part about this is not its artificial construction but the actual similarities of these organisms to the real, natural design found in our biology. Exo-Biospheric Organisms are proposed to be living entities that thrive in the harsh conditions of space, particularly in the upper atmosphere of planets, moons, or even interstellar space. These organisms would need to be highly adaptable and resilient, capable of surviving extreme temperature fluctuations, radiation exposure, and vacuum conditions.   Given the precedence of this internet sensation, EBOs are the latest in the pipeline of multinational government efforts to sustain and slowly proliferate the declassification of extraterrestrials.   Moreover, the discovery of EBOs could raise ethical questions about human exploration and colonization of celestial bodies. Implementing strict planetary protection protocols will be vital to preserve the pristine environments where EBOs might exist and to avoid disrupting potential ecosystems.   Exo-Biospheric Organisms (EBOs) represent a captivating aspect of astrobiology, fueling our curiosity about life beyond our planet. While their existence remains speculative, the pursuit of discovering these enigmatic organisms pushes the boundaries of our understanding of life's adaptability and the potential for extraterrestrial life. As technology advances and our knowledge of the cosmos expands, the quest to unveil the mysteries of EBOs becomes an integral part of the ongoing search for life beyond Earth.   The discussion then turns to EBOs, organisms believed to exist outside our biosphere that have captured the public imagination. The episode draws parallels between the design of religion and EBOs, highlighting how both resonate with individuals on a spiritual level. The hosts explore the environmental impact of humans versus EBOs and discuss the benefits of copper in human and EBO biology, suggesting artificial intelligence may play a role in EBOs' creation.   While urging a healthy dose of skepticism, we criticize the U.S. military's secrecy around UFOs and argue that independent research is needed to discern truth from misinformation. Ultimately, we argue that the objective of life is to nurture and perfect evolution as close to nature as possible. They advocate for a state of "apotheosis" where we become one with nature.   Let us join Alexander and Jason as discuss Extraterrestrial Organisms.   Please Support our sponsor TARTLE.CO.

What would you do if you had proof of non-human, intelligent life? In a recent case that shook the online UFO community, an anonymous reddit poster claimed to be a molecular biologist who worked for years at a top-secret government lab dedicated to studying the biology and culture of "EBOs" -- in tonight's episode, Ben and special guest Max Williams dive deep into the extraordinary claims of the post, working to suss out whether there's any truth to it... or whether there's something else at play.They don't want you to read our book.: https://static.macmillan.com/static/fib/stuff-you-should-read/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All links: https://linktr.ee/theaustinjadams Apparel: Https://antielite.club Newsletter: https://austinadams.substack.com   ----more---- Full Transcription  The Adams archive.   Hello, you beautiful people and welcome to the Adams Archive. My name is Austin Adams and thank you so much for listening. Today on today's agenda is a ton of different topics that are out there from the last week. The first one being Donald Trump was at the U F C event over the weekend, which was probably one of the biggest cards of the year, and he had an interesting interaction with Joe Rogan, which we will attempt to break down. Although I'm not very good at reading lips, I will give it my best. After that, we are going to take a look at an article that's coming from Fox News which is that the Marine Corps is going without a confirmed leader for the first time in over 164 years, and we'll talk about what that means. Then we're going to look at the disgrace. Dr. Larry Nassar, who if you recall, was the disgusting gymnastics coach of the US Olympic team and sexually assaulted. Like, I'm pretty sure it was like hundreds of girls. So he got stabbed and we will celebrate that. And then moving on, we will talk about the movie, the Sound of Freedom. So we discussed that I think two, two or so episodes ago. We, we went into the trailer of that. Now that it has been released, there's been all this hype around it and some news companies throwing a bunch of shade which is a, a kind of a weird thing to do to something raising such positive awareness to such a horrific thing. But we'll talk about who those news stations were. It may be why they were doing that, cuz it might start to make a little bit more sense. Other things in the news is that miss Netherlands was now Mr. Netherlands because it was crowning a trans woman, Ricky, Valerie Coley. So we'll look at that potentially if we get to it. And then one of the breaking events that has been going on here is that the Biden, department of Justin, department of Justin. I wonder if there's a guy named Justin in the Department of Justice Biden's, department of Justice indicts, a whistleblower who alleged alleged that the Biden family was involved in bribery schemes. Could you imagine that? And then, We will go into the video that surfaced about that individual. And last but not least, the longer you're here, the deeper we get. Rogan posted a Reddit thread from the Reddit aliens sub Reddit, which has the title of, from the late two thousands to the mid 2000 and tens. I worked as a molecular biologist for a national security contractor in a program to study exo biospheric organisms or ebos. I will share with you a lot of information on the subject. Feel free to ask questions or ask for clarification. We're talking about aliens, folks, so this is a very long thread. I don't know if we'll read all of it, but I will get it summarized for you and maybe just maybe, depending on how interesting it is, we will but pretty wild. So all of that and more. So stick around again. The longer you stick around, the deeper we go. All right, so let's go ahead and the first thing I need you to do is go ahead and hit that subscribe button. Leave a five star review, head over to the ck We did send out this week's podcast companion from last episode. So head over there, Austin Adams dot sub stack.com. You get all the links, all the videos, all the articles that we're discussing here. And yeah, you can keep up to date with me and what, what's going on. So Austin Adams dot sub stack.com. Leave a five star review, hit the subscribe button and let's jump into it.   The Adams archive.  All right, the very first app article on today's episode. It's going to be that Donald Trump made an appearance at UFC two 90 in Las Vegas, and the arena went absolutely wild. And we'll see if we can get some audio on this clip here for you guys, because as soon as he walks out now, something that I've discussed on this, right? I threaded through Instagram's threads instead of Tweeted. It doesn't sound as good as Tweeted to be honest. But something I threaded was that it's pretty wild that meanwhile, while Joe Biden is fumbling around a beach, not knowing which way is to the water we have Donald Trump at a U F C event, cage side, getting, you know, high fives from almost every single fighter that won their fights getting praises from the entire audience, going wild when he's out there. It's pretty crazy to see, but what, if not the single best PR for any president ever is being ringside at every UFC event. Like, could you imagine? People would, people would say, Ooh, there we go. What people would say if Vladimir Putin was at all the MMA fights, like, that is a power move, son. So here it is. Let's go ahead and listen to this clip of him walking up. We'll see if it's, if it's too loud, we'll cut it, but here we go. This is Donald Trump walking out to the U F C F. Two Kid Rock. That's amazing. American Badass. Oh my gosh, that's incredible. High fiving everybody in the audience. Blue suit, red tie, yellow hair coming in and just everybody goes Wild Z and ZZ Top. All right, there you go. There's his walkup song if probably one of the most fitting walkup songs in the UFC and he walks out with Dana White here as we'll. See. Oh, we got the man's here. As you might expect for International Fight Week, a lot of people are in the building. But no one needs more security. From the former president of the United States, obviously a really good friend of Dana White. Oh my word. I mean, listen, he's a massive, massive fight fighter, and that just shows how big this event is. Donald Trump has loved the fights for a long time. He's often at Madison Square Garden for the International Fight Week. He has to show up, show his support he has done from since day one. It's good to see him here. Dall, oh, it's no surprise that this man is here because this is the only thing that stayed open in all of sports during some of the darkest times. Glad he's here. All right, let's go. Listen to how excited they all are, and imagine if that was Joe Biden just, you know, randomly walking through the crowd, not knowing which seat was his. Meanwhile he's getting a shout out from literally everybody. And then he had a peculiar interaction with Joe Rogan, so Donald Trump at the UFC event over the weekend. Lock's eyes with Joe Rogan shakes his hand in what must have been one of the most intense handshakes ever between these guys who just shook hands for about 25 seconds and exchange some words. So I'm gonna give you my best idea of what's being said here. Now, we don't know exactly what was said. Now hopefully there's somebody who can read some lips that can actually figure it out. But here's what I got for you. Donald Trump walks up to him and goes to shake his hand. Now, when the video comes in, as it starts to play here, All right. So Donald Trump goes up, it's mid handshake. Donald Trump's, you know, going, you're the man. It seems like, you know, you're doing great stuff, you know, and it seems like he's saying something about how they should do something together. Like, I should get on your podcast. We should have a conversation. Somebody that I saw said that they believe that he said that we should have a conversation, just not, just doesn't even have to be on the podcast, just together. And so could we have a Joe Rogan Donald Trump podcast? It seems more likely now than ever after Donald Trump was at the U F C event, shaking hands with Joe Rogan and having this interaction. Pretty cool. Hopefully that happens because that would be the world's most watched podcast of all time. Could you imagine Joe, Joe Biden getting on Joe Rogan's podcast? Like that would be the most boring ass conversation you could ever imagine. Literally, everybody who watches Joe Rogan's podcast would probably boycott the episode because it would be so irritating, annoying, and, and, and like just sad to watch if Donald, if Donald Trump went on Joe Rogan, it would be the single most watched episode in history of any podcast ever for now and the future. Very likely. So anyways, that was pretty cool. Thought that was awesome. What a power move by Donald Trump and his PR team and you know, hopefully we see a Donald Trump, Joe Rogan podcast as they just had this respectful interaction where neither seemed to want to let go of the handshake first. It was pretty cool to see. All right, moving on now, the next article that we're gonna talk about here, and we'll touch on this briefly, it says, the Marine Corps is without confirmed leadership for the first time in 164 years. And this comes from Fox News, where it says that the US Marine Corps does not have a confirmed leader for the first time in 164 years. Following Marine Corps's Commandant, general David Berger's relinquish of Command Ceremony held Monday and Berger's. Or Berger's private retirement ceremony at the relinquish of command ceremony at the Marine Corpse Barracks in Washington, DC General. Eric Smith, the assistant Commandant of the Marine Corpse, took over as acting commandant. President Biden had nominated Smith to lead the service in May, and Smith is expected to serve as the acting commandant, but also stay in his role as Assistant Commandant. How does that work without a second? Com in command due to the hold. The last time the Marines were without a confirmed leader was 1859. Following the death of Commandant Archibald Henderson Senator Tuberville, Republican from Alabama is blocking more than a two 50. 250 fast tracked military promotions in the Senate over the Pentagon's post OBS abortion policy established early the earlier this year. The Pentagon's new policy pays for the travel and time off of service members that they must take to receive abortions if the state where they are stationed does not allow the procedure. What. How about No. How about take one of your 30 days of fricking paid time off buddy, or don't and don't kill your baby defense secretary Lloyd Austin. The Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley have both called Tuberville hold a national security concern without calling Tuberville. Oh, you mean to kill Americans? Just like all the babies. Without calling Tuberville out directly, Austin said his hold is becoming a readiness issue and called on the Senate to confirm these military leaders smooth and timely, timely transitions of confirmed leadership are central to the defense of the United States and the full strength of the powerful fighting force in hi the most powerful fighting force in history. Berger agreed saying in his remarks, we need the Senate to do their job so we can have a sitting commandant that's appointed and confirmed now. I'm not for abortion in any way, shape, or form. I absolutely do not think that there's any reason at all the military should pay for you to go on leave, to go get an abortion, or for your wife to go get an abortion or for the stripper that you met, you know, right outside of base to go get an abortion. I don't think that we should pay for that. I think that you should pay for that. Then you definitely shouldn't get extra leave for it. But I also don't think that that should hold up somebody getting put into the highest position of command in the Marine Corps. That seems a little bit crazy that those two things are intertwined. Interesting, but definitely don't agree with that and definitely don't agree with them paying for that. But it seems like there should be some sort of, you know, other way of making that statement. But who am I? Especially when we're in one of the most contentious time periods in history. Tuberville placed a hold on approving these denominations by unanimous consent this past February. If Secretary Austin wants to change the law, she should go through Congress. Tuberville told Fox News Digital Tuberville had a 10 minute phone call with Austin back in March, according to the Senator's office. Yeah, kind of crazy. See what people have to say? His finest. Finally, Congress is taking back some of its authority. We have legal proceedings in place that should be followed and not worked around or set aside for convenience or fast tracking. If a law is wrong or needs to be changed, Congress is the branch of government that has the power to do it. Interesting. That's the first comment and most liked comment. Somebody else said, Hmm, nah, nothing good there. All right. Let's see. Says this administration is not following the law. The senator is using a legal means to hold them accountable. Follow the law Biden. Hmm. Interesting. Doesn't make sense to me. Anyways, moving on in probably the most positive news of this week, because there's all this negative news going around. What I would say is the, the most positive news of this week that I've heard of personally, is that Dr. Larry Nassar was stabbed several times, and I think that's the most positive news of the week because he's a gross, sexually abusive pedophile who deserves to get stabbed because he was the one who sexually abused hundreds, if I'm recalling correctly, the amount, hundreds of U s A gymnastics gymnasts through over 300 female gymnasts at the club that he was sexually assaulting up to 300 of them at Michigan State University and at his home in Holton, Michigan. Yeah. Something worse should have happened to him other than just stabbing him. Unfortunately, he's alive. Larry Nassar. It says this is coming from the post-millennial, says, Larry Nassar has reportedly suffered multiple stab wounds after an altercation broke out in a federal prison in Florida. Two people familiar with the incident said Nasser had been stabbed in the back and the chest, but that he was in stable condition. Unfortunately, according to the associate press in 2018, Nassar was sentenced up to 175 years in federal prison after being found guilty of sexually abusing up to 300 female gymnasts at John Gutter's, twin Stars USA Gymnastics Club, Michigan State University, and at his home in Holt, Michigan. The attack apparently happened Sunday at the United States Penitentiary Coleman in Florida. Nassar had relocated to Florida after being assaulted in Tucson, Arizona, where he had previously been being held. Nasser admitted to sexually assaulting athletes when he was employed at Michigan State University and U USA Gymnastics, which trains Olympians. Additionally, Nassar, who pleaded guilty to, he also pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography when victims were giving impact statements in 2018. Several claims that he told that they had told adults around them what kind of abuse they were experiencing, including coaches and athletic trainers, but the complaints went unreported. The report noted that over a hundred women, including Olympic gold medalists, Simone Biles, had collectively attempted to get 1 billion from the government after it was revealed. The F b I had failed to do anything about Nassar when the allegations were initially brought to light in 2015. It was not until a year later in 2016 that the Michigan State University police arrested him. Michigan State was accused of missing opportunities to stop Nassar, which resulted in the university agreeing to pay 500 million to more than 300 women and girls who were assaulted by the sports doctor. Additionally, U USA Gymnastics and the Olympic US. Paraplegic committee or paralympic committee, sorry, agreed to that, to a 380 million settlement. There are more than 150 victims who spoke or submitted statements during the seven day hearing. More than four years ago, there were even a father, and there was even a fa, a father to good Lord. What's wrong with my eyes? There was even a father upon having the opportunity to speak, attempted to attack Nassar in the courtroom. Now, if you remember this, this guy walked up to the stand and goes, judge May, may you just give me five minutes in the locker room with this guy. Deja goes, no. How about one minute he says, and the judge says No, and then he runs after this guy with no plan of attack whatsoever and gets tackled by a bunch of police. Here we go. I would ask you to, as part of this sentencing, to grant me five minutes in a locked room in this demon. I would you do that? I that is not yes or no? No, sir. Would you gimme one minute, you know that I can't do that. That's not how I, well, I'm gonna have to stay, stay, stay. Stop. Good Lord, I want that. One of these cops should took the opportunity to accidentally shoot Nassar. Give one minute. Had to be quicker. Dad. Gotta be quicker. Gotta have a plan of attack too. Relax, relax. Take it easy. You know, good show of you know, emotion. Sure it's crystal clear, I'm sure, and I'm sure the, you cannot behave like this. Two, two days that he probably spent in there be before, before being let go. You know, every father ever probably wishes that they would, you know, have that opportunity who ran into something like that. So I just, just can't imagine what that man is going through. And the, you know, when you're the dad and you're, you are, is to protect your child. You know, the lengths that you would go to and the things that you would do are probably unbelievable. So, you know, a good showing of, of emotion there. At least maybe not the right attempt, maybe not the right approach. Maybe sit and wait for them to take him outside after, you know, or between sessions or, you know, at least be a little bit quicker to the draw there. Cuz he was pretty slow, not not getting past the, the police there. And there you have it so that, that. Is the first round of what is happening to Naar Nassar. And hopefully there's a second round. I guess he got beat up in the other prison, so maybe third round. We'll, we'll finish it. Cuz what a disgusting man this person is and, and it, we're finding this more consistently where it is. Doctors in sports medicine. Who are taking advantage of underage athletes. There was a physician in Michigan who was responsible for a similar situation to a bunch of underage hockey players that I actually, you know am familiar with the teams and, and stuff that this guy was involved with. And he, he was indicted on, I believe almost, it was at least 80, 80 or so, it was 18 or 81, 1 of the two. Vast difference, but doesn't make him much of a difference that cuz you're just as big of a piece of shit and deserve to get, you know, what this guy had coming to him. All right, moving on. There's your positive news for the weak folks and in other news cnn Now, if you recall, the sound of freedom, right? The sound of freedom being the, the movie. That was done by Tim Baard, who owns Operation Underground Railroad and Operation Underground Railroad is a nonprofit organization which goes and saves children from underground sex trafficking. There's been over 2000 children that have been saved by Operation Underground Freedom or Underground Railroad. And the Sound of Freedom is a retelling of the story of how Tim Ballard got into saving these children. Now, I, I personally have not been able to get to the theater yet. I have three children. So sometimes it's difficult to go sit in a theater and watch something that isn't animated. So but my plan is to go watch this for sure. 100%. You should go see it. If you know somebody take 'em with you may, especially if they, you know, are, are skeptical about the entire, you know, trafficking of children thing or this really will shed light on it. I've, I've spoke to several people who have gone and seen it. They said that it's one of the most impactful, if not the most impactful movies that I've ever seen. It's supposedly pretty dark, but how is it not, you know, it, it's a dark world and this is one of the darkest parts of it. And so to see that somebody, anybody is shedding light on this. And so there, there was some, some conversations. Now I had several people reach out to me after the last podcast cause I posted about it. I've posted about the sound of freedom. And there was some skepticism around Tim Ballard, which might be an, an interesting episode in and of itself. But there was some skepticism around Tim Ballard where there was allegations that Tim Ballard had, you know, in, in his operations, been accused of inappropriate behavior, which these guys are going undercover to do these things. And generally in, in order to get in the club to save these children, probably have to say some things that you wouldn't normally say unless you're in character trying to get into one of these places. So that was one of the allegations is he like to touch some girl's waist or butt or something inappropriately when he was trying to convince people that he was a part of. You know, it was part of their crowd and trying to get in there so he can actually save these people. Some of the other allegations were that he was taking some of the, a lot of the money that he was getting in from Operation Underground Railroad and it wasn't going to the right things. And that he was making a lot of money and that he was using it as a, you know, to help promote the Latter Day Saints, which I guess he's a part of. And so there's a, there's some little, there's some murkiness to this. However, I would say in light of anything and everything that I've seen on this, and I've dove deep, I've talked to people that I know that were a part of some of these, you know, organizations and, and have some little bit of know, know within the community. And I tend to agree with what they said, with, which was essentially that if, if anything that Tim Ballard did that made him seem somewhat dishonorable, cannot be overshadowed by the outcome of his honorable actions, right? So even if, let's say he's making a lot of money off of this, even if he is. Had to put himself in precarious situations and act out of character to get into these places, to save these children. I would take that all day in order for these children to be saved. Right? In 2000 is nothing, but it's something, right? Compared to the 2 million that he claims are, are out there right now that need to be saved. It's a drop in the bucket, but it's a drop in that bucket. So that's my thoughts on that. So do your own digging, do your own research. There was a lot of people that came out against him, Ballard, and I just didn't see anything credible enough to overshadow the credibility of the positive things that he was doing. So there's my thoughts on that. Now, what is dishonorable? Is that c n. And I believe it was, let's see, there was, there was three different news networks that came out and spoke out against the Sound of Freedom, calling it a Q Anon conspiracy, telling people they had worms in their brain if they liked this movie or if they thought this was real, or, you know, you, and then CNN came out and had a clip that said Hollywood, let's see, Hollywood Q Anon promoters promoters, Hollywood Q Anon promoters movie is hit at box office. That is not a full sentence, guys. So CNN had Mike Rothchild, nonetheless, a part of the Rothchild family on here to tell us that, oh, these people are just conspiracy theorists. Don't worry about what my family's doing in the background here of the, these, you know, shadow organizations that are very well proven to be true. So here's a clip of C Nnn. And you seem pretty familiar with him because he doesn't really hide his association with this real wild plot that that involves, you know, drinking the blood of children and things like that. No, he doesn't hide it at all. And you have a lot of people who are in this world of QAN who say, oh, they don't know what that is. They've never heard of it. They're just asking questions. With somebody like Jim Cavel, he is openly embracing it. He's openly using its catchphrases and its concepts. He's speaking at QAN conventions. And this film is being marketed to either specific Q Anon believers or to people who believe all of the same tenets as Q Anon, but claim they don't know what it is. And the Sound of freedom does focus on a real issue of sex trafficking. But that theme, it, it's sort of like that kernel of truth that feeds the Q Anon conspiracy theory. Tell us how those two things work together. Sure. And the most durable and the most believable conspiracy theories are not entirely false. There's something in them that is true, and the rest of it is false. But the believers point to the one true thing and they say, oh, you don't believe that this particular thing is true in terms of child trafficking. We know trafficking is real. We know it has real victims. No one is denying that. But these films are created out of moral panics. They're created out of bogus statistics. They're created out of. Fear. And with something like Sound of Freedom, it specifically is looking at QID on concepts of these child trafficking rings that are run by the high level elites and only people like Tim Ballard and only people like Jim Veel, and by extension only people like the ticket buyer can help bring these trafficking rings down. So there's a very participatory element. You're not just going to see a movie, you're just killing two hours on a hot day. You are helping bring down these, these pedophile rings and save children. Now it's not true. But it's a very comforting, and it's a very warm feeling to have. So I want you to listen to how they are programming this, because if you want an example of text book Abusive gaslighting, here it is, c n n coming out and saying that anybody who believes that high level people are are sex trafficking children or involved in adrenal chrome processing or anything to do with adrenal chrome. But really, let's just focus on the trafficking portion to believe that anybody is involved in, at a high level, these billionaires who, who have an appetite for sex trafficking and children to believe that you must be a qan conspiracy theorist. How stupid are they? Well, isn't this the same C n N who was reporting on Jeffrey Epstein less than three years ago? You know, the billionaire involved in high level trafficking that visited the White House 17 times, along with plenty of people, including Bill Gates, including almost a, a, an entire roster of celebrities from Hollywood that flew to his island, that he had children trafficked to the same cnn Who reported on that? Oh, you wanna know what else? The same CNN who had not won, but two c Nnn producers who were involved in and brought to justice over pedophilia. Jeff Zucker being one of them, who convinced a mother to fly her child out and abuse her with him, fly her child to him, and just reading the text messages that that man sent to this mother. Makes your skin crawl. Meanwhile, CNN wants to gaslight you and tell you that you're stupid, tell you you're a conspiracy theorist and, and muddy the waters with this Q Anon term that they haven't brought up Now in a year or two until it's convenient, right? Just like he said here. Oh, that there's, oh, what a, what a silly idea that there's celebrities out there and billionaires who would sex traffic children. How stupid are these people? Bogus statistics. They're created out of fear. And with something like Sound of Freedom, it specifically is looking at QID on concepts of these child trafficking rings that are run by the high level elites. And only people like Tim Ballard and only people like that are buddies, high level elites, and only people like the ticket buyer can save them. Buddy, this is real. We all agree that this is real. Now the last person that you could have come on to CNN to convince me that child human trafficking isn't real is a Rothchild, but that's what CNN brought on air to try to convince you that anybody who liked this movie or that liked the idea that was shedding light on one of the grossest, the most disgusting, most egregious things in human history that's being done today, right now is fake, isn't real. Oh, it's a conspiracy. Oh, maybe he has a kernel of truth in there, but there's not high level elites who are trafficking children. You mean like the guy who died in jail, who is a billionaire who was connected with probably half of this guy's family and buddies and all of Hollywood and at the White House 17 times who Bill Clinton flew to his house on an island where he trafficked children to. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's, that's the one. That's the conspiracy that everybody's stupid for believing in. Thank you so much, Mike Rothschild. Now on another positive note. This is absolutely shedding light on child human trafficking. It is one of the, the top box office movies that there's been this year, and people are, are choking up about this. People want to do something about it. People are becoming aware of this, and the sound of freedom has now triggered people to have more awareness on the disgusting people that are out there, that are predators towards children. And this video I'm about to show you is a perfect example of it. There was a mom, Who is at the mall and it says, stop what you're doing and make this Petto famous. This brave girl just done just got done watching the Sound of Freedom, and the next day while at the mall, noticed a predator taking pictures of two young girls bent over at the mall. She then confronts the pedophile while video recording him and makes him delete the photos on his phone. These people are everywhere. He could have just been a petto or he could have just been scoping out his next sex trafficking victim, and he's absolutely right. Here's the video. Yesterday I posted that I went to go see the movie Sound of Freedom, and it was an amazing movie. I recommend everybody go watch that. It really, really opens your eyes about what really goes on behind the scenes and something that is so prevalent here in the us, but definitely recommend you go see it. But today something happened that I really just did not expect at all and it. Relates to this movie. Today I went to the mall to go pick up something to eat. Me and my mom, we went over there really quick to do some shopping and we went to Auntie Ann's and my mom already got outta the wine. She already paid, and I stayed back to grab some napkins and some straws and things like that. And as I grabbed it and I was walking there was a man that was behind the line and he was taking out his phone to take a picture. And I noticed he had his flash on and it was pointed towards this bench where these two young girls were at. And I decided, so I noticed that his flash was on, so I stood right in front of the camera and I was like, you know what? I don't know if he's ignoring me or seeing me. So I went, I decided to go behind him and he looked towards my mom. He's like, oh no, it's my daughter. It's my daughter. So he sticks out his phone again and starts taking a picture of this young girl. The girl was with her friend and she was laying her head down on her friend's lap, and her behind was sticking out. So her body was, her face was towards the seat or the bench. And so her whole behind was out and she was in a short black, she was in a short black dress. Let's see if we can get to the part we were just at towards this bench where these two young girls were at, and I just was, was on. So I stood right in front of the camera and I was like, you know what? I don't know if he's ignoring me. You're seeing me. So I went, I decided to go behind him and he looked towards my mom. He's like, oh no, it's my daughter. It's my daughter. So he sticks out his phone again and starts taking a picture of this young girl. The girl was with her friend, and she was laying her head down on her friend's lap, and her behind was sticking out. So her body was, her face was towards the seat or the bench. And so her whole behind was out, and she was in a short black skirt. And this girl, I would say she's in between the ages of probably like 13, 15, she looked super young and he kept saying like, oh, that's my daughter now that's my daughter. So I was like, okay, I'm not gonna say anything yet because I don't know what the situation is. So, so what ends up happening is she confronts this man at the mall, makes the man pull out his phone. I go and I go up to these young girls that got after confirming that this man was not their father, in fact, and then goes to the man, confronts him about what he was doing, which she then videotapes and then makes the man delete the photos. Now this woman is a badass. If we had more people like this woman out there, there would be far less predators out there because they are pre predatory on children for a reason, and they're scared of getting confronted with people who are as as big as them, as old as them, as mature as them. They're cowards, they're pieces of trash, and they know it. And if enough people have their eyes out, not only for their children, but for other people's children like this woman did, then this would happen less often because people know that they would be confronted by people. Let's continue. Anyway, I go up to the young girl and I'm like, Hey, is that guy right there? Really? I try to like make it not as big of a deal, but like I was saying, I didn't wear on a makeup big deal of it because you know, this girl might be scared. I don't know what it is, but I'm like, Hey, is that guy your dad? And she's like, no, why? And so she confronts this man. And now as we go to that portion of the video, I'll talk you through it a little bit, but it's taken a second to buffer here. So give it one moment, but good on this girl. She can't be over 30. She looks like she's probably like 26, 27. And for her to confront this man in the way that she did is amazing. And like I said, if we have more people doing this type of thing, less people would be proud that there is against children because they know that the microscope is on them. And that's what this movie does. The Sound of Freedom brings awareness to this brings awareness to the fact that there are real predators out there, brings awareness to the trafficking is real. And you should absolutely be keeping that in mind around your own children, around other people's children. I've seen videos of this woman who was like working a stand that looked like in like Mexico or Brazil and this young child was being targeted by this guy on a scooter. And she goes into this little shop and the woman is very nice and starts talking to the girl and realizes what's about to happen as she sees this guy kind of walking around and prevents the child from being trafficked. 100%. This man was there to steal this child and. Cannot imagine the horrific things that it would've happened. But if we just need more eyes on this, guys, the more eyes we have on it, the less, the less things like this will happen, right? There will be immediate friction, there will be immediate repercussions to these people acting in the, this egregious manner. So again, good on this lady, good on her. This woman good on her for confronting this person. We need more people like her and the video still will not buffer. So I don't know what's going on with Twitter, but in the spirit of that, let's move on. The Netherlands, crowned Miss Netherlands to someone who is not a miss, but a Mister Misses Netherlands crowns trans woman Ricky, Valerie Coley. In other words, a man to be. Miss Netherlands and what is absolutely the most disgusting virtue signal ever, like literally a, and she is. There's other people around this man who are far better looking, far better looking. It goes on, it says, coli of Dutch and indigenous malen descent is from the city of Breta. Between Rotter Dam and Antwerp. Thank you for that very specific outline. She said she wants to be a voice and a male, or a, a male, a, a role model for young women and queer people. As someone who didn't feel supported after coming out as transgender at a young age, she said she wants to leave those stories of suffering in the past. Coley won't be the first trans woman to compete for the Miss Universe. Crown Angela Ponce became the pageant's first trans contestant when she represented Spain in 2018. The 71 year old competition first began allowing transgender contestants in 2012. Well, weren't you ahead of the curve? More trans women have been competing in the preliminary pageants in recent years. In 2021, miss Nevada Cata, Luna Enriquez became the first trans contestant at a Miss u s A pageant. Transwomen and activist Daniela Oroyo Gonzalez will compete for this year's Miss Universe, Puerto Rico. Title next month, Thai Business Mogul. Annie Jra Jupa, no idea how to say that name. A trans activist who is also transgender, bought the Miss Universe organization last year. She has said that she's, he has said that she's committed to advancing the organization as an inclusive platform and wants to transform the brand for the next generation of non women. For Miss Universe, you idiot. I call it a women's empowerment competition, but really it's just de-legitimizing femininity and what women are in general by allowing men with penises to beat the women at their own event. Which is just unbelievable. Like how, how far do we take this, right? Like, of course a man's gonna whoop some woman's ass in the swimming competition if they both train. That's just how that works. But now we've gotten into this contorted, weird secondary universe where men think they, they can actually compete with women. When it comes to feminine beauty, like, I'm sorry, not gonna happen. You are a man. You will always be a man, regardless of how much makeup you put on, regardless of how much chicken cutlets you put in your bra, regardless of how much YouTube contouring classes that you watch, you will always be a man. Until you invert your penis and then have it shut on you. Like that's one of the most horrible things. And, and okay, every time we touch on the trans stuff, I feel the need to talk about this cuz I don't want to be a hateful person. I'm not trying to be hateful, but I think is hateful, is this egregious act of acting like men taking over women's spaces is good for women. There's a reason, there's the W N B A, there's a reason that there is Miss Universe, right? There is Mr. Olympia. You want to go be in a male beauty pageant, start running a hundred fucking grams of trend and get huge like, like the rest of the, the guys out there competing for male beauty pageants. Like this is not the way. And I, I believe that the people that are trans, that believe that they are the other opposite sex are mentally. Ill and, and should be treated as such. And I don't think treated as such as like, oh, you're a bad person. No, I think treated as such as if you are dealing with something on the inside that I can't even fathom. Now that's a portion of it, right? A portion of them are mentally ill. Now a portion of them are seeking attention and that's the Dylan Mulvaney of the world, right? But there are some, I'm sure, very good, very kind, very nice be beautifully beautiful hearts that are trans. But when you try to overtake women's spaces, when you try to treat, make me use your pronouns as if I have to act out your mental illness for you to make you feel okay in the world. I'm just not gonna do it. And I think that anybody who, who is in that world, I. Should seek help. And I hope they get the help that they need because I'm sorry, but you're never gonna be a woman or you're never gonna be a woman who turns into a man or a man that turns into a woman. That's just not gonna happen. And that's the way the universe dealt you. Your cards, and I'm sorry you don't like them, but a lot of poor people who grew up poor wished they could have grown up as the child of Donald Trump. But it's not gonna happen either, no matter how much you pretend it, right? So it's like you should address the thing that is causing you the mental anguish. Don't mask it with fake boobs and lip injections and address like eventually that's gonna lead to heartache and eventually it's gonna lead to you getting all of these surgeries that we don't know the implications of that are eventually going to harm you long-term physically, like getting on hormone replacement therapy, you know, getting estrogen injections, when you should be getting testosterone replacement therapy. It's like we don't know the implications of this, and I'm sorry that you're going through that, but that that is not my burden to bear your mental illness through my speech. And that's, that's what we saw too. More recently, Michigan in, in probably the craziest attempt at passing a law, which has now passed the House of Michigan, Michigan has has imp, has started to push the process along, which again has passed the house. This isn't just like one person trying to act like this is normal. This has passed The house, which is a bill in Michigan, is now saying that if you misgender somebody that you're gonna get a $10,000 fine and a felony. Well, what I would have to say to that Gretchen Whitmer, sir, is that you cannot police speech. You cannot tell me who I any sounds that has to come out of my mouth. You don't get that opportunity. And if I want to call you a man, which in certain lighting you look like, or I wanna call some random trans person knocking down all the shelves in the blockbuster or, or the GameStop, if you remember that video, sir, because you are a sir, then I will do so. You're not gonna find anybody for speech. And if this $10,000 fine from Michigan goes to the Supreme Court, just like all of the other bullshit laws that they've tried to pass and eventually get overturned just like Roe v. Wade, that will get overturned too. I'll be the first person to step up and immediately go to a city hall meeting and call Gretchen Whitmore Mann and watch the police try to arrest me for it. Cuz that is the most ridiculous bullshit law with no fundamental founding in their constitution. That is completely against the first amendment that, that, you know, this is exactly what Jordan Peterson fought against, was the, the implementation of laws to strong arm and bully you into utilizing speech that is not accurate for the feelings of other people. Because if we start there, where does it end? Because that's just the beginning. Then where do we go? Right? You get into this, this news speak era, right? You go back to the Orwellian 1984 type control of language that was involved in authoritarianism, the diminishing of words, you're not allowed to say certain things. And that's where it starts. And this is the, this is the Trojan horse, right? And all the people that are like, equality and d, diversity and like, I hear you, but what you don't see is where this is going. What you don't see is that you are a pawn in the game and eventually, like I've said before, the pendulum swings back and eventually it's coming for you, right? You can only divide the masses so many times until eventually you are on the side that you don't like where your speech is being hindered by governing laws. This law is unbelievably crazy and nobody is talking about it. I posted something the other day and, and very little traction that has come of it. Now, I got a good amount of, you know, attention on it from, from my post, but, It needs to become a common topic because this is the first law that I'm aware of that is being implemented in this way in the United States, where we are founded on the freedom of speech founded on the right to say what we want when we want founded on the freedom of press. If I want to write an article for the Detroit Free Press and call Governor Whitmer a man, I will do it because that is my constitutional right. Just watch me if this goes into effect. Crazy. And that's the world where we've gotten to where somebody's going to win a Miss M I s S pageant with a penis between their legs. This world just gets crazier and crazier and crazier. All right, so I don't even feel like reading the article. Maybe I'll have somebody else read it for you. Here you go. Netherlands Crowns. Its first trans. Oh, two year old Dutch model will be the second openly trans. Whoa. That's going fast for you guys, huh? All right. Yeah, let's move on. So the next article that we're gonna talk about here is that the Biden's Department of Justice Indicts a whistleblower, indicts a whistleblower who alleged that the Biden family was involved in bribery schemes. Could you imagine the Department of Justice being weaponized against biden's enemies? No way. Former Israeli army officer and co-director of a Maryland think tank is under federal indictment Tonight, gal Luft is charged with acting as an unregistered foreign agent, trafficking in arms violating US sanctions against Iran. No man. Twitter's having a hard time today, huh? And making false statements to federal agents. So this man came out and alleged that there was a bribery scheme conducted by the Biden family. Now this in the middle of several, several legal actions that are happening between several different entities at this point. He says he was arrested in Cyprus to stop, to stop him from speaking out him from testifying before Congressional Committee. Yep. Crazy. All right, so this man is guilty. This man is guilty. He's guilty of telling the truth, which is that the Biden family is corrupt. The Biden family is in the pocket of foreign entities like China, like Barisma and Ukraine. These, the Ukrainian energy companies, like all of these organizations that came out from the laptop of Hunter Biden, absolutely. This man is guilty of telling the truth. And, and here's the thing, when these things happen, all it does is draw attention to it regarding bribery allegations against the Biden family. Most frustrating about it is that again, you see how powerful the entities that are in power are because of how quickly and easily they shove these things under the rug. There's never been a president ever who's had as many scandals as Joe Biden, and there's also never been such an effort from every government organization at all. That's. Within the government to cover up so many illegal activities by a presidential family in the history of the United States. Name one name, another president that's sitting that has had so many scandals than Joe Biden, including the video that just came out of Joe Biden, a, a wild video of Joe Biden going up to some foreign looking lady at some meeting saying, don't, don't what did he do? Let me, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. And he goes, smells her, sniffs her on camera and then goes, don't tell your mama what I told you. Like what? You are the creepiest of creepy old men. And I can't imagine just the what type of things that he, this, that Joe. Biden was doing, especially when his own son called him Petto Pete, within his phone, see if we can get this clip to finish out. Lou makes those allegations in a video obtained exclusively by the New York Post I, who volunteered to inform the US government about potential security breach and about compromising information about a man vying to be the next president. I'm now being hunted by the very same PE I think in my life. I ever had such a hard time with Twitter videos, people whom I informed and may have to. He says, I may have to be on the run for the rest of my life for the allegations that I've made. And we see this with what happened to what happened to the We see this every single time. There's a whistleblower with the Biden administration, right? Every single time there's, there's the, the person in the who, they were trying to s like the, the laptop store owner. There's the you know, e every single time the Biden administration finds themself in hot water, they, they weaponize every single piece of the justice system that they have access to, including the very recent text message that we discussed a couple weeks ago, which was that, you know, hunter Biden literally threatening the Chinese company before there was a $5 million. 5 million put into their shell accounts from a Chinese corporation after he's or from a Ukrainian organization after he strong armed the head of Barisma, who then said he had 17 recordings of them. Interesting. So here's the article on that, which says that the Department of Justice has announced multiple indictments against Dr. Gao Luft, the Israeli American co-head of a Maryland think tank who gained notoriety as the missing witness in the investigation of Joe's Biden's corruption. The New York Post recently shared a video of left wherein he broke down the allegations made against Biden, and claimed that he had been arrested to prevent him from testifying to the House Oversight Committee with damning evidence against the first family. Now, long after coming outta the whistleblower left himself has been charged by the Department of Justice for allegedly engaging in multiple serious schemes in involving the Chinese and Iranians, alongside a former high ranking US government official. The charges, including numerous offenses, including failing to register under the Foreign Agent's Registration Act, arms trafficking, Iranian sanctions violations, and making false statements to federal agents while what a reach. The agency explained that Luft had allegedly conspired with others to advance the interest of the People's Republic of China. Oh. Who would've done that as agents of Chinese based principles without registering as foreign agents as required under US law. He supposedly used his position as co-director of the Think tank to recruit and pay the aforementioned government official at the behest of Chinese bosses to publicly support certain policies with respect to China. Hmm. Very interesting. Let's see if we can get the New York Post video if it's not gonna be so shaky for the full thing there. Here's the video. Good day. My name is Dr. Gal Loft. For the past 20 years, I have been the co-director of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, a Washington based think tank focused on energy security. For the past 15 years, I've been a resident of Israel. For four years, I was senior advisor to the China Energy Company, cfc at the same time of its dealings with the Biden family. Under normal circumstances, I would be testifying before Congress about my experience with C F C. Sadly, due to circumstances I shall describe here in this video I am forced to tell you this story via video. My ordeal goes back to a fatal decision I made in March of 2019 to share with the US government my knowledge about the Biden family's relations with cfc. As I said, it was in March of 2019, in a two day session at the US Embassy in Brussels. I insisted that the meeting. Take place in March because at the time there were rumors that Joe Biden was planning to run for president. I saw it as my civic duty to alert the government beforehand and give it enough time to probe the issue. I wanna be clear. I'm not a Republican. I'm not a Democrat. I have no political motive or agenda. I did it out of deep concern that if the Bidens were to come to power, the country would be facing the same traumatic Russia collusion scandal. Only this time it was China. Sadly, because of the DOJs coverup. This is exactly what happened. The d o J sent to Brussels, a delegation of six people, two prosecutors from the sudden District of New York, by the names of Daniel Reichental and Catherine Goche. Four F FBI agents. One of them was special agent Joshua Wilson from the Baltimore Field Office, which also happens to cover the state of Delaware. My man's dropping names. You asked yourself why did the government dispatch to Europe? So many people, why six, why not two? The answer is that they knew very well that I'm a credible witness, and that I have insider knowledge about the group and the individuals that be the she the family. Over an intensive two year, two day meeting. I shared my information about the Biden family's financial transactions with CFC, including specific dollar figures. This is a 13 minute video that you can go see. Was name Rob Walker the New York Post YouTube channel. Yet as we now as titled this Missing Biden Corruption case Witness, Dr. Galbo doj, the Whole 21 Details, allegations against President's Family Talk to Walker. But perhaps the most alarming information I revealed was of a MO within the d OJ who shared classified information with Hunter Biden and his Chinese partners. I told the d OJ that Hunter was closely associated with a very senior, retired, retired FBI official who had distinct physical characteristic. He had one eye. One of the FBI agents at the time even told me, you know, that would be very easy for us to find. There aren't that many one-eyed people in the bureau. The information I provided the FBI in March of 2019 was fully corroborated. Nine months later when the famous laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, which contained all the emails and receipts, was handed to the fbi. And guess who seized the laptop from the computer repair shop? It was special agent Joshua Wilson, who was with me in Brussels earlier. In other words, the FBI knew about from me about the Biden CFC deals before they got hold of the laptop, way before they had enough time to investigate the issue, but they didn't. After Brussels, I never heard back from the doj, but instead of showing appreciation for my whistle blowing, I became public enemy number one. Over the past four years, that followed me, my family, my friends, my associates. We were all harassed, intimidated, and finally I was prosecuted. Despite all that on the eve of the 2020 elections, I sent my lawyer to Washington to meet with then acting Deputy Attorney General Mr. Richard Donahue, to ensure he was informed about the information I had given his department in Brussels 19 month earlier. And also to warn him that there may still be a mole within the D O J. Mr. Donahue confirmed to my lawyer that he was aware of my claims, but now we learn from the I R S whistleblower that it was Rich Donahue himself who suspended the investigation. Few weeks earlier on September 4th, 2020, on the ground that it was quote too close to the elections. Finally, in February of this year, I was arrested in Cyprus on an extradition request from the Southern District of New York. Very soon. All right. I'll let you watch that video yourself. If you wanna go find it, I'll put it in the CK Austin Adams do sub stack.com, which will come out late tomorrow after the podcast comes out. But here's an article that kind of outlines what he's talking about with that was looking up while you were listening to that, the one eye F b I agent. And this comes from the New York Post where it says, hunter Biden used FBI Mole named one Eye to tip him off the China probes. It says, hunter Biden has an F B I mole named One Eye who tipped off his Chinese business partners that they were under investigation. According to the Israeli energy expert arrested in Cyprus last month on gun running charges. The House Oversight Committee is investigating the explosive claims that Dr. Gal Ga left the guy. We were just listening to a former Israeli Defense Forces Lieutenant Colonel with deep intelligence ties in Washington and Beijing, who says that he was arrested to stop him from revealing what he knows about the Biden family and FBI corruption details. He told the Department of Justice in 2019. Which he said was ignored. He first made the claims on February 18th on Twitter after being detained at a Cyprus airport as he prepared to board the plane to Israel. I've been arrested in Cyprus and politically motivated extradition request by the us, the US claiming that I'm an arms dealer. It would be funny if it weren't tragic. I've never been an arms dealer. Department of Justice is trying to bury me to protect Joe, Jim and Hunter Biden goes on to say that Luft remains in jail awaiting extradition, which is now just surfaced this or surfaced with this video after all this. This article was in March through his American lawyer, Robert Hanoch. Luft said that he tried four years ago to form the de Depart or to inform the Department of Justice of Chinese State controlled energy company c e, or C E F C, that had paid a hundred thousand dollars a month to President Biden's son Hunter in $65,000 to Joe's brother Jim in exchange for their FBI connections and use of the Biden name to promote China's belt or. Yeah. Belt and Road Initiative around the world. Left. Learned the scheme through his own relationship with hunter's, Chinese business partners, Patrick Ho and yay Ja Ming, chairman of C E F C. From 28 15 to 2018, left organized International Energy conferences in partnership with HO'S Think Tank, the nonprofit Chinese Energy Fund committee, C E F C, a front organization for Y's, C E F C Y confided to left that Hunter had an informant in the FBI or formerly of the Bureau, extremely well-placed, who had paid lots of money to provide sealed law enforcement information. The FBI mole was called One Eye. One Eye told ye that the Southern District of New York has, was investigating him or ho in late 2017, that an Asian and African and a Jewish guy were named on a sealed indictment. Said Heno. Soon after the Tipoff, ye offered Hunter 1 million to be his private counsel and flew to China. Leaving his wife, daughter, son, mother and nanny in his 50 million penthouse in 15 Central 15 Central Park West. He was detained in Shanghai three months later and disappeared. And that's where this all started. All right, so that article that I was just reading again, came from the New York Post and was titled hunter Biden used FBI Mole named One Eye to tip him off to Chinese probes, which was March 22nd, 2023. And now this guy is just resurfacing. And this just broke today. This is breaking news. There's really not a ton of information that came out from this interview. Go listen to it. Go check it out. And just again, like I said, Joe Biden and the h the Biden family are the single largest crime organization to ever hold the White House. So, Bar none. And we're seeing that with back to back to back to back. Things that are coming out from the text message of, of Hunter Biden's strong arming people to the laptop with legitimate claims of him being a pedophile with his own niece. All of the things that have come out with Joe Biden being called Petto Pete by his son. Could you imagine the field day that people would've had if that was Don Jr. Saying that about Donald Trump? Like in all of it's covered up by every news, media corporation, every one of the, the organizations within the government, including the fbi. It's disgusting. All right, now last but not least, last but not least second to last, but not least, let's go with last but not least, let's get into the deep dark side. Of aliens. It says, from 2000, from the late two thousands to the mid 2000 tens. I worked as a molecular biologist for a national security contractor in a program to study exo biospheric organisms. I will share with you a lot of information on the subject. Feel free to ask questions or ask for clarification. This was posted on Reddit five days ago, reposted by Joe Rogan, and then this guy deleted his account. Now it says that it seems like all of my comments are being deleted. I will post answers at the end of the message. I'm gonna move my computer closer to me here so I can actually read it for you guys without the stuttering, like you know, Joe Biden or Feder Fedderman. From the late two thousands to the mid 2000 tens, I worked as a molecular biologist for the National Security Council contractor in program to study exo biospheric organisms or ebos. The aim of the program was to el elucidate the genome and proteome basis for these organisms. Although the study of OBCs has been going on for decades and other programs, the new high throughput DNA sequencing technologies of the late nineties unblocked, stagnant research in this area, since then, several breakthroughs have led to significant advances in our understanding of the genome and protein of these beings. What we've learned so far has enabled us to outline some dis. Disconcerting perspectives about the place of our place in the universe. Briefly, we've discovered that the Ebo genome is a chimera of genomes from our biosphere and from an unknown one. They are artificial, ephemeral, and disposable organisms created for a purpose that still particularly alludes us. I'll be substantiating my statements after a brief introduction. The reason for disclosing these secrets is quite simple. I believe that every human being has the right to know the truth, and that to progress humanity needs to divest itself to a certain or divest itself of certain institutions and organizations that will probably not survive these revelations in the long term. I'm aware that I've had very little impact in this regard, but I still believe the small leaks are necessary to break the dam of misinformation on the subject. When the governments will eventually reveal these secrets, there will be undoubtedly be a societal upheaval, but in my opinion, the longer we wait, the worse it will be. I choose to divulge what I know anonymously out of selfishness for the wellbeing of myself and my family. I'm aware that this diminishes the reach and credibility of my message, but it's the furthest I'm willing to go. I chose this forum because it offers a good compromise between anon, an anonymy and an an anonymy. Like what is it? Defining NEMO anonymity, non anonymity in popularity. In order to protect my anonymity, I will be purposefully vague or even contradictory about the information that could identify me, date education role, et cetera. I'll even introduce red hearings. In this respect, I want to make it clear that any information related to the subject of the research will not be treated in this way. Before going any further, please excuse me if you find it difficult to understand what I'm explaining. Some parts of my text are very technical. It's difficult to understand the right balance between vulgarization and scientific explanation. I continue by talking about myself. What's the point of talking about me and knowing that the information will necessarily be misleading. I simply want to introduce a perspective of the type of people who work there. Normal scientists, I have a PhD in molecular biology. I didn't actively seek to become a part of the program. Rather, there was a stroke of luck that introduced me to one of the senior scientists. I met this person at a conference where I was presenting a poster on my PhD research. When I think back, I don't believe he was impressed by what I was presenting because it was quite frankly, a project that wasn't going anywhere. I think he was rather the most important aspect of a professional life, the attitude and the ease in which you make connections. Shortly afterwards, I graduated and received a call from the person offering me a position. At the time, everything pointed to me working in a regular laboratory. I did a series of three increasingly suspicious interviews and in a different location where my scientific background and knowledge became less and less relevant. The first was was with two of the senior scientists, the second and third with people who I've never seen again and who obviously not interested in science. Sometime after the interview, I was asked to go to a fourth location where that, where what seems like a corporate lawyer presented me with an nda. He made sure not only to explain every detail, but also that I understand the consequences of not respecting it. The first employment weeks were far by far the most memorable, although I spent most of the time in the depressing archive room. It consists almost exclusively of reading about the subject of study and to get us up to speed. There's no secret Wikipedia or even a reference guide. There are only dry reports, memos, presentations, procedures, and standard operating procedures. SOPs. These documents are almost exclusively about the biology of Ebos and there are also a few that deal with other subjects such as

What keeps it from the top spot on our list is the inclusion of holdings such as the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG.L) and Uber Technologies (UBER), whose connection to impact are more tenuous. 3. Lyxor Green Bond UCITS ETF (CLIM)  The oldest product on our list is the Lyxor Green Bond UCITS ETF which launched in February 2017…  With a TER of 0.25%, (this fund) tracks the Solactive Green Bond EUR USD IG index of 578 euro and US dollar-denominated investment-grade green bonds issued by sovereigns, supranationals, development banks and corporates.  Aside from being Europe's first green bonds ETF, (the fund) has $457m assets under management (AUM)… which is considerable versus its counterparts… The constituents in the Lyxor Green Bond UCITS ETFs underlying index have all been defined as eligible for inclusion by the non-profit organisation Climate Bonds Initiative. 4. Invesco Global Clean Energy UCITS ETF (GCLE) … is the newest and most diversified clean energy thematic ETF in Europe.  Mirroring its equivalent US product, Invesco's clean energy play physically replicates the WilderHill New Energy Global Innovation index of 126 stocks involved in the clean energy value chain, including energy generation, lower CO2-renewables, conservation and efficiency. (This fund is) equally reweighted and rebalanced quarterly to reduce the concentration issues suffered by Europe's most popular clean energy ETF, the iShares Global Clean Energy UCITS ETF (INRG).  Additionally, it has a TER of 0.60. 5. L&G Healthcare Breakthrough UCITS ETF (DOCT)  Charging a relatively low fee for a thematic product (0.49%) (it) tracks the ROBO Global Healthcare Technology and Innovation index of 84 stocks in the medical instruments, diagnostics, process automation, precision medicine, genomics, telehealth, data analytics, robotics and regenerative medicine industries. (The) L&G Healthcare Breakthrough UCITS ETF is considered impact-eligible by impact investing app Circa500 and healthcare innovation is certainly a social good.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Honorable Mentions 1.
