Appalachia and its frontiersmen played a major role in the Revolutionary War and the independence of America. From the brave settlers pressing westward against the rule of the Crown, to the Overmountain Men who fought furiously against the British at the Battle of Kings Mountain, Appalachians played a pivotal role in the making of America and in our manifest destiny. #Appalachia #BattleofKingsMountain #nativetribes #RevolutionaryWar

Stories-A History of Appalachia, One Story at a Time

Today, we tell the remarkable story of the Overmountain men, Appalachian frontiersmen from the far western parts of North Carolina and Virginia.  As tensions escalated in the South, these settlers took a stand against British forces at Kings Mountain, on the South Carolina/North Carolina border.  Their bravery in that decisive battle was instrumental in securing America's independence in the Revolutionary War.   Be sure to subscribe to catch all our stories, available on your favorite podcast app. You can also support our storytelling journey and gain access to exclusive content by becoming a patron here:  https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/stories-of-appalachia--5553692/supportThanks for listening!

Welcome to a podcast where we peel back the layers of deception to reveal the truths lurking beneath the surface. Join host Austin Adams as he delves into the most controversial and pressing issues of our time, challenging the mainstream narrative and sparking thought-provoking discussions. From Engineered Disasters to Global Conflict In this gripping episode, we explore the dark theory behind hurricane Helene being a directed hurricane to target lithium-rich regions. Is there a hidden agenda to manipulate natural disasters for corporate gain? We investigate the evidence and discuss the implications of such practices on vulnerable communities. War on the Horizon As tensions escalate globally, we dissect the recent attack on Israel by Iran, examining its origins and potential consequences. How might these conflicts draw the United States into another protracted war? We analyze the geopolitical landscape and what it means for international relations and security. A Strike That Could Cripple America Turning our attention homeward, we delve into the longshoremen's strike that threatens to shut down America's ports. We discuss how this could cripple the U.S. economy, leading to shortages, price hikes, and widespread disruption. What are the demands, and is there a resolution in sight?

My name is Austin Adams and thank you so much for listening today. On today's episode, we are going to be diving deep into some really serious catastrophic situations that have occurred over the past couple of weeks here. The first one being the terrible and horrific Hurricane Helene that has hit several states and just decimated, absolutely decimated the communities there. It's horrible. It's terrible to see. There's All of these videos of people that are stranded on top of buildings. There's firefighters telling people not to go rescue them because it's too dangerous. It is horrible.  On top of that, there's also some speculation and skepticism  similar to what there was in Lahaina  where people don't believe that this hurricane Was as natural as it appeared not the production of it But the path of it and you might be thinking well, that's crazy We can't move hurricanes and what I would say to that is listen to the full episode because maybe you'll change your mind  The second thing that we're going to discuss is going to be will briefly touch on the vice presidential debate. That was just a  Eight hours ago now. We will talk about that, some of the key moments. We won't take too much time on that, but I did wanna just highlight a couple things. And that will be at the end actually, I believe so. Other than that, we will also talk about the seaport strike that is going on,  which could heavily affect  the United States production and ability to provide food.  to provide gas to provide everything and anything that you purchase comes through one of these seaports. Now, these workers are on strike for several reasons, mostly contract negotiations, but also they are hesitant or frustrated that the opportunity of the organization that they're working for utilizing automation.  I have my own opinions about it. I do see their point, but we'll talk about it.  And we'll also talk about what this could possibly do to you and your family and maybe what you can do to get prepared.  Then we will talk about Iran striking Israel  in a  act of what could turn into a very high escalating, , tensions between several countries, including the United States, potentially getting involved as we have had several officials say that we will.  Retaliate on their behalf, which is terrifying.  Alright, all of that and more, but first, go ahead and hit the subscribe button. Leave a five star review.  And if you'd like, go ahead and check out my company, Ronin Basics. Ronin Basics is a Faraday goods company, and we provide several different products that protect you from the modern threats out there in society today. Everything from EMFs, which Robert F.

So with the EMF side of things, we have EMF blocking Faraday hats. We have beanies and we have phone sleeves that will be in, in just a couple of days. They look just like this. You.

All right, now go check out the website. I just did a ton of work getting it updated. I'm very happy with it. So if you've seen it before, go see it again, cause it's way better.  , so go check it out. Appreciate you. Love you. Without further ado, let's jump  into it.   All right. So the very first thing that we're going to talk about today is going to be the horrific hurricane that happened in North Carolina, Tennessee. It is spread across several states, which seems a little unnatural to me. I don't know when the last time there was a hurricane in Tennessee.  Can you remember that? I don't know. Maybe we should ask chat GPT, our  knowledge overlord, what's going on there. So we'll go ahead and take a look at this. There's a tweet that I think really captured all of the damage. So if you're watching here on YouTube, you can actually take a look with me. And if you're not, I will talk you through it. So there is some horrific situations going on and this captures. It in detail. It's just a minute long. So if you're listening  stay with me here, but obviously what this says, I don't know why that's obvious if you're not looking at it The hurricane helene death toll has risen to over a hundred and thirty survivors  Has the death toll has risen to over 130 as survivors. That makes more sense in Western North Carolina. Describe seeing bodies stuck in trees.  Locals are describing the pop apocalyptic scenes on the ground. As the official death toll continues to climb, there were bodies in the trees. They are finding bodies under the rubble. Said local woman, Alyssa Hudson, according to the New York post. Hudson explained how she made it out of her house before it collapsed. Her friends in downtown Black Mountain describe seeing bodies floating in ditches and residents fighting against the rising tide. We were a mountain town, but now we look like a farm town. It's all destroyed. A lot of people won't be back. The total damage from Hurricane Helene is currently projected to be about $34 billion according to Fox.  The following footage was shared by Severe Forecast at Biltmore Village not far from Black Mountain. And here is that video.  Make sure I don't blast you with hurricane sounds.  So there's cars just stuck up in trees.  Restaurants decimated.  One thing that I had seen when I was watching some of these horrible videos was that there was towns that were almost completely under rubble. Almost completely under these landslides that just went above the highest building. And where there used to be a town, there's literally nothing. Nothing. Now could you imagine if this is your city? If your family member is there?  How terrifying. And they're, and they don't have cell phone service. You can't reach them.  You can't know that they're okay.  Now, this isn't the worst of it. I've seen some re some terrible videos.  And guess what? In these videos, there's nobody from the government scene. Nobody, not a single person.  The national guard. Isn't there helping people?  Guess where they are? They're like overseas right now. The National Guard, the same people that are supposed to be here helping our citizens are not here. They're in other places across the world helping other people.  Now speaking of that, one thing that's been frustrating, and I'm sure you can dive into the damage of this Hurricane Helene, and my heart goes out to all of these families. I can't imagine. Even just losing your town, your house, your history of your family,  let alone the amount of people that we're going to find out that are dead as a result of this. It's terrible.  Now there's a few  political plays going on here, which again, is disgusting shouldn't be about that. It should be about helping these citizens.  And one thing that happened was that Kamala Harris was as she's always been. Kamala Harris was dead silent about the hurricane, dead silent about the families that were stranded on top of these buildings, dead silent about the damage that occurred.  Then,  they had the nerve, yesterday,  to come onto the TV, during an interview, at the White House,  and tell the citizens  that they were going, they're going to give the citizens that 1. 3 million dollars, total, combined. For Now, one of the journalists in the audience goes, Billion or million?  And he says, no, no million. 1. 7.  I think it even might be 1. 3. 1.  7 million dollars. Let's be generous here. And just say that it's 1. 7.  That's two houses that got taken out.  They're claiming they're going to use this for 750 dollars to the citizens that are affected. How far does 750 dollars get you in Kamala's mind?  economy.  How far?  Maybe a tank of gas  and a week's worth of food.  Now, one thing they don't seem to consider because they're saying that it's going to be a direct deposit is that the people that are highly affected by this don't even have access to their bank,  don't have access to a grocery store around them,  don't have access to even get gas. There's reports that came in that there was a gas station, one gas station that was in this mountain town where everybody was trying to get out of. And it was empty within hours of people showing up there  and now everybody else is stranded.  I cannot believe the response to this 1. 7 million,  750. If you got affected by this in the same week that we gave Ukraine 8 billion, Kamala  and Joe Biden have now said, they're going to give the citizens of Ukraine. That are affected by the hurricane 1. 7 million 1. 7 million how disgusting of a response. Don't even say that don't even mention the 1. 7 million dollars.  It's a slap in the face to everybody that has been affected by this atrocity. And then speaking about that Kamala three to four days after  three to four days after the hurricane  posted a photo about a briefing about Hurricane Helene.  And one thing that was noticed about this photo.  Is that she's claiming that she's on her airplane. I was just briefed at FEMA by FEMA, Deanne Criswell on the latest developments about the ongoing impacts of hurricane Helene.  We all discussed our administration's continued actions to support emergency response and recovery. I also spoke With North Carolina Governor Cooper about the ongoing rescue and recovery efforts in North Carolina, our administration will continue to stay in constant contact with state and local officials  to ensure communities have the support and resources they need.  Doug and my thoughts are with all those who lost loved ones and those whose homes, businesses, and communities were damaged or destroyed during this disaster.  Now, one thing that you'll notice about this photo, there's a few things going on here. One, she's writing on a piece of paper, a piece of paper that appears to be empty,  appears to be an empty piece of paper.  Yeah, looks pretty empty to me. Number two,  she's wearing headphones.  She's wearing headphones that are not plugged in.  Now, Donald Trump  loved pointing this out,  where he said,  Another fake and staged photo from someone who has no clue what she is doing. You have to plug the cord into the phone for it to work.  Biden and Harris abandoned Americans in Afghanistan. They sacrificed Americans to an open border, and now they have left Americans to drown in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and elsewhere in the South.  Under this administration, Americans always come last because we have leaders who have no idea how to lead.  Now, when you went and saw the news articles about this,  they were criticizing Trump  for making this accusation. Not criticizing Kamala for faking her image,  for faking caring about these families,  but they're criticizing Trump, of course, for even having the audacity to accuse her of this.  Let's see if I can find that video  of the white house saying they're going to give 1. 3 million.  Let's see if I'm right on 7,  because I'm interested  to families affected.  This was like late yesterday,  the 1st of October.  Let's see.  Statement from Harris  news briefing as Biden responds. Let's  see.  All right. And here it is. Let me go ahead and pull this up for you.  Took a second to find that. Right here is the White House briefing.  And the reporter asks this question here.  And this is where the 1. 7 million comes from.  Hopefully you anticipate getting to some of those areas that have been cut off. Oh, not  to that.  Here we go. Not just by land, but by air as well. And how quickly do you anticipate getting to some of those areas that have been cut off because of the roads being cut off? As quickly as we can.  No answer. Go ahead, Jeff. Thank you, Karine. Mr. Secretary, do you have a sense of how much money it's going to cost, A, to do this relief effort And B, to do the rebuild effort once we get there and how much of that will be covered by insurance companies and how much will be covered by the government. So this is a multi billion dollar undertaking. In terms of the search and rescue and the response, I should note that we already Approximately 1. 7 million in individual assistance that individuals million that individuals will be able to access. I believe it'll be as early as tomorrow. It is a direct deposit into their accounts, but the rebuilding Did you catch that 1. 7 million to these people and they've the journalists. These paid journalists who are shills for the government thought that was so ridiculous, they didn't even register it. And one person goes billion, right? Billion? You're giving 1. 7 billion to those affected by Helene. And he goes no.  Million.  What the fuck are they gonna do with $1.7 million? Let's say there's a hundred thousand families that are affected, and that's very low. There's so many people that are affected by this. Let's probably a million, right? You're gonna give 'em $1.30, $1.70 a dollar in 7 cents, 70 cents,  $1.7 million to those affected, and they'll have it in their accounts deposited as soon as possible. As soon as possibly tomorrow they'll get a $2. What is a million dollars going to do for all of these people affected? And again, the same week that we gave Ukraine 8 billion, the same week, 7 billion to Israel, the same exact week, this man walks up onto that stage and says, don't worry, guys, we're giving our citizens 1. 3 million.  That's going to get, what is everybody going to do? They're going to go to the corner store, walk up to the corner store and get themselves a Gatorade. Hey guys, a refreshment on us. Thanks.  What a slap in the face. Just don't even mention that. Don't mention that figure. 1. 7 million  to hundreds of thousands, millions of citizens that have been, had their families decimated. They've lost all of their livestock. Their family members have been killed.  And you're going to give them 1. 7 million collectively to help out.  Do you want to know who's given more money to this? Their own citizens of the United States. There is a GoFundMe  that was started. And I just let's watch this one more time. So you can hear just how ridiculous this is. And I want to see what the response is of the journalists. Cause they should probably call him out on that, right? You would assume. Note that we already have approved approximately 1. 7 million dollars in individual assistance that individuals million that individuals will be able to access. I believe it'll be as early as tomorrow. It is a direct deposit into their accounts. But the Rebuilding is something that is not for today, but that is going to be extraordinarily costly and it's going to be a multi year enterprise. Thank you. Thank you Mr. Secretary. Two questions. First, about the President's decision to go to Raleigh. Can you give us a little bit of a breakdown as to why he's going to that location, and what he will see, and whether or not he'll be able to see any of the Alright, so literally no response by these propagandists in the audience.  Not even Peter Doocy said something about this. Maybe he was the one that said billion.  Crazy, literally makes no sense.  So 1. 7 million from our own government to these affected citizens from Hurricane Helene. Donald Trump posted this GoFundMe, and there's 3. 7  million, more than doubling the amount that the government's giving out.  3. 7 million by the citizens of the United States that are giving their own money.  And people here,  like Stephen Wyckoff, I believe he's a former senator. I  saw that one, one former senator had Donated about five hundred thousand dollars. So that may be who that was. Let's  okay. So Senator Kelly Lafleur, not sure who this Stephen Wittkoff is, but that's very nice Dana White has given a hundred thousand dollars William Ackman a hundred thousand dollars Bass Pro Shops a hundred thousand dollars Dan Newlin a hundred thousand dollars Christopher Drummond You 25, 000. Kid Rock, 25, 000. That is amazing.  And here our government is sending billions to Ukraine and wants to send 1. 7 million. I cannot stress how frustrating that is enough.  1. 7 million to those affected, those decimated, those family members that were killed. Kamala's on a frickin airplane with airpods that aren't plugged in taking a propaganda photo to send it out.  Donald Trump posted a GoFundMe and gets more than double what the entire government is collectively giving those citizens. . 1.7 million dollars. That's how much they care about you.  I wonder why they're giving 8 billion the same week that they're giving American citizens 1. 7 million. I wonder why. Maybe it's because the citizens that they're going to give that money to aren't going to funnel it back to them. Aren't funding their campaigns. They don't care about the voters.  They do not care about the voters. They do not care about the American public. They care about being elected and more power,  which is why they'll send 8 billion to Ukraine the same week that they spend 1. 7 million to our citizens that were obliterated in a hurricane. But thank God, there's people out there donating to this. So I highly recommend it. It is GoFundMe. com slash support dash hurricane dash Helene dash victims slash GoFundMe. Dash with dash president dash 3.  7 million.  Incredible. Now there's some speculation here,  some speculation around the idea that maybe, just maybe this hurricane wasn't as  natural as it seemed,  as it appeared.  There's some speculation that maybe, just maybe, just like there was in Lahaina, there's some questions around why.  Why this targeted this specific area the way that it did  let's say targeted let's use that word loosely in terms of a natural disaster But if this is true targeted is the right word  the idea  Comes from the fact that some of the towns that were the most decimated in these cities that were affected by this hurricane are also under contract with Blackrock and Vanguard  For lithium mining, liquid gold, the thing that is the next great endeavor for our  humanity,  the most valuable substance today, when it comes to things like electric vehicles, when it comes to things like AI,  these small towns were fighting back against this contract proposed to sell their land for lithium, right? Go back to Lahaina, right? Go back to Lahaina.  He had all these front beachfront properties.  That we're trying to get pushed out by big money from black rock, big money from Vanguard. And they didn't want to sell. That was their property. That was their family's property. That's where their grandparents lived. They're not moving  right. Cue the Wolf of wall street. I ain't leaving. Then  it just so happens within the year before they're supposed to start this lithium mining while also the citizens aren't selling their property.  The entire town gets  obliterated by Hurricane Helene.  You might say, that's a coincidence, Austin. Stop looking for strings where there are none. Tying these two things together. And I would say, I believe you. I agree with you. Until I saw some of these videos and some of the evidence surrounding how they have, since 1947, we have been able to steer hurricanes.  This is a technology that has existed for almost a hundred years.  We're going to watch a video that explains all of that.  But I would just say to you, how many things have we been right about? How many things? Now, it doesn't mean we're going to be right about everything. And it doesn't mean that we shouldn't have skepticism around all of these claims.  But when there's evidence, very specific evidence, just like they tried to gaslight you and tell you that the the  weapons that they used those laser based weapons,  right? The direct energy weapons aren't real. And then I sat here in front of you and showed you video after video of Lockheed Martin and Raytheon boasting about this technology.  Then I show you video after video about how they can start fires with that technology, videos after videos  of all they need to do is put a really high altitude airplane over top of this location and boom, billions of dollars.  How much is a life worth to these companies?  How much is a life worth?  How much, how far would they be willing to go? What's the price tag per head that they're willing to kill  or have die in a natural disaster so that they can make their profits? What's the price tag? Do you think it's 20 grand? Probably not a 10 grand,  five grand.  There's gotta be a calculation just like there is in the auto industry, right? If the amount of fatalities. And the cost for the litigation does not exceed a certain amount per car. They don't update the vehicles. They don't do a recall.  If they calculate go back and watch fight club. It's a great scene about this.  If they calculate  that the amount of litigation that's going to come as the result of not recalling it exceeds the cost. of doing the recall itself, then they will recall it.  Now reverse that. If the amount of damage, the amount of costs, that's going to be the result of a natural disaster like this,  If the amount of profit exceeds what the cost would be  in terms of loss of public trust, in terms of how much they have to pay for Facebook and Instagram and YouTube to censor these topics, like they did with direct energy weapons.  If the amount of that does not, the cost does not exceed the profit. They will move forward. They do not care. It isn't a LLC. It is an entity. It is a corporation, which does not have a moral compass. The only compass it has is how do we continue to have growth year after year regardless of how much  Destruction we leave in our wake. They do not care They want to sit in their high towers the top of the castle  while the peasants are at the bottom drowning in the water that they brought there  So let's watch this video and see if with you think  or at least have any idea The  eyebrow raises that I do. This comes from Greg Reese.  We have had the technology to create control and steer hurricanes for decades.  Project Cirrus is the first official attempt to modify a hurricane. It was run by General Electric with the support of the U S military. The official theory.  Project Syrus, C Y R U S, 1947,  was the first time that there was a concerted effort  to steer a hurricane.  Now it says,  President Lyndon B. Johnson, Southwest Texas State University, 1962 said, let's see if we can get the full quote here, I'm not sure if it gives it all to us and ultimately to control the weather and he who controls the weather will control the world.  He who controls the weather controls the world. Lyndon B. Johnson, 1962 at the Southwest Texas State University.  Okay,  let's move on. Project Cirrus. Project Cirrus is the fir Now, there's a news article that is the Daily News. It says, Destroying a Hurricane. This is from 1947,  September 17th.  This is from the Daily News, the 17th year, Charlotte, O'Malley, Virgin Islands. The destroying a hurricane, the energy expended by a tropical hurricane is enough to drive all the machinery in the world for three or four years. Yet the army, the Navy, and the general electric company are collaborating in a daring meteorological  experiment, which is to determine whether or not the colossal.  that we call a hurricane can be broken by making it precipitate the thousands of  cuts off. I assumed water, right? If the older attempts at rainmaking came to nothing, it is because it is not known how the raindrops are created. Some years ago, it was discovered that unless there is a nucleus, something around which, A moisture can wrap itself. There is can be neither snowflakes nor droplets. The rest now seems simple. Little seeds of carbon dioxide, snow scattered from a plane, serve as much. Nuclei.  Okay. 1947. There's your article. First official attempt to modify a hurricane. It was run by General Electric with the support of the US military 1947. The official theory was that by changing the temperature. Outside the eyewall of a hurricane, which they did by seeding the clouds with various compounds such as silver iodide, a decrease in strong winds will result on October 13th, 1947 Project Cirrus targeted a hurricane heading out to sea.  This says Project Cirrus, first hurricane cloud seeding experiment. The cyclone was historically significant in that it was the first tropical cyclone to be modified as part of a multi year operation called Project Cirrus. In 1946, General Electric scientists concluded that experimentation that dry ice seeding could induce heavy rainfall and thus ultimately weaken storms by cooling temperatures in the eye. To undertake Project Cirrus, General Electric, the United States Army, the Office of Naval Research, and the U. S. Weather Bureau functioned jointly on research and planning. Early on October 13th, 1947, 200 pounds of dry ice were dropped through the storm, then located about 350 miles east of Jacksonville, Florida. While the appearance of the clouds changed, the initial results of the seeding were inconclusive.  Shortly after the seeding took place, the hurricane turned sharply towards the southeastern United States. While the move the leading General Electric scientists later blamed upon the seeding, subsequent examination of the environment surrounding the storm determined that a large upper level ridge was in fact responsible for the abrupt turn.  Of course it was, because then hundreds and people died as a result of your experiment. You're not gonna admit that. Are you? Especially if you're the government.  Now you have to ask yourself, is this the government doing this? Is the government going in there and manipulating these hurricanes to move this closer to this area where they want  the people that funded them to go in and be able to take this lithium? I don't think that's the case, right? This is all speculation, by the way.  Maybe I'm making stuff up here.  Go do the research yourself. But what I would say is it doesn't have to be that it doesn't have to be this big governmental experiment. It doesn't have to be that it has to be four or five executives paying a small team of pilots that, that all go from Blackrock in their private jets  and just so happened to fly directly through a hurricane, by the way, just remembering  There was a pilot that drove  directly through the hurricane. Directly through. I'll see if I can find that for you.  Give me one second.  Alright.  Here is the plane  that flew directly through the hurricane. November 610 Foxtrot Papa.  Now, you can go do research on what that is. Some people are saying that it's an aerial photography company.  Who cares? It's an airplane flying directly through a hurricane. Who does that? Why would you do that?  Maybe they don't even have people doing this. Maybe it's a drone.  They don't need people with stories to tell, and jobs to lose, and indictments to be had to be doing this. They need five to seven executives and two people to pay somebody to fly a drone through this and drop that dry ice or whatever it is that they're doing now 85 years later.  It doesn't have to be this big government conspiracy. It could be five executives wanting to get their fucking lithium out of that city.  And so they pay somebody to fly through it. They pay them to drop this cloud seeding. And then all of the sudden, it decimates Tennessee?  Tennessee? When was the last time a hurricane hit Tennessee?  And then again, radio silence for days by the news. Why is the news not talking about this with the severity of it? Remember New Orleans? Remember Hurricane Katrina?  Everything shut down. They were raising, we were donating in high school, middle school, elementary school.  All over the country was united. And now with this, radio silence. For days. The only reason any of us knew about this. For three days. Was because of social media.  Don't be suspicious. Don't be suspicious. Okay, so there's your airplane, November 610, Foxtrot Papa. Go do some research on it. I don't have the time today to do it. But go check it out for yourself. Maybe I'm wrong.  They definitely flew through this hurricane.  I wonder why.  So all they have to do is fly one airplane through this hurricane, drop this cloud seating, and then all of the sudden,  all of the sudden,  you have a hurricane taking a sharp left turn when it wouldn't have otherwise. Here you go.  Approximately 180 pounds of dry ice was dropped into the clouds. The crew then reported a pronounced modification of the cloud deck, and the hurricane abruptly changed direction and made landfall.  Alright, I just wanted to read this for you because this is the actual facts, he's giving a narrative around it, which is great, but this is the article. October 13th, 1947, a disaster with Project Cirrus. What happened next was the worst case scenario. Instead of dissipating, the storm furiously swung nearly 130 degrees to the west. Very similar as it did with Helene. And smash in the Georgia where it caused $2 million worth of damage. Threats of lawsuits soon followed with Georgia residents Blaming the government in 1947 for the hurricane devastation Project Serious was all but shut down before it truly began, and any research into weather manipulation was re Reddit. Re  reputated Repe Repudiated  . R-E-P-U-D-I-T-E-D. Repu, repudiated, it's a weird word for decades.  All near Savannah, Georgia,  the public blamed the government  Irving Langmuir who pioneered General Electric's atmospheric research department and admitted that the project was about learning how to weaponize the weather. Also claimed the reversal of the hurricane had been caused by Project Cirrus, but the government denied it for 12 years. After a short delay, the project.  Okay, again. Let's go back, he's telling the narrative, but there's facts up on the screen for you. And what this said,  if we can go back, let's see here.  And I do want to tell you the source here, this is Gregory's he's a InfoWars submission guy, like he does a lot of their great videos.  Listen to the narrative, don't listen to the narrative, look up these newspapers. Don't take my word for it.  Don't take his word for it. Go find these newspapers. The Lincoln Journal Star, Sunday, May 1st, 1955. Hurricane seeding. Langmuir and cloud seeding during Project Cirrus in the New Mexico Desert was conducted at regular weekly intervals and Midwest rain begins to fall weekly too. The scientist described another test in October of 1947 where It's he said a hurricane was seeded. It changed course, hitting the city of Savannah, Georgia, doing heavy damage. So that was him admitting that was a cause of that hurricane.  Let's move on. This is the story 12 years after a short delay, the project officially continued and in 1965 Project Storm Fury had targeted Hurricane Betsy for seeding on that day. The storm immediately changed direction and made landfall in southern Florida.  This comes from the Liberty Beacon says yes, the government has experimented with controlling hurricanes. Hurricane Betsy was building strength. It looked like it was aiming for South Carolina, posing no threat to South Florida. But on Saturday, September 4th, the storm whirled to a stop  about 350 miles east of Jackson when Betsy started moving again on Sunday. She had changed directions. The storm plowed through the Bahamas Monday night, then mauled Florida. Or South Florida. A day later, Florida Congress blamed it on Project Storm Fury, but the government claimed that the hurricane shifted before they ever had a chance to seed it. And after two months of congressional hearings, the project was allowed to continue.  In 1997, US Defense Secretary William Cohen, admitted we have the technology to control the weather.  Okay, this comes from DODs News, defense Briefing United States. Department of Defense website January 15th, 2006. It's an article from 2000 or 1997  and it says Cohen's keynote address to the Congress on terror or conference on terrorism, weapons of mass destruction and us strategy at the Georgia center. Mahler auditorium, university of Georgia, Athens, Georgia. The event is a part of the Sam Nunn policy forum being hosted by the university of Georgia. Senator Nunn. Thank you very much. As Senator Nunn has. And indicated he and I have worked for many years along the Senator Lugar. The two of these gentlemen, I feel perhaps the most courageous and visionary have served in the Senate. Let's see if it actually goes into Including earthquakes and volcanoes.  Says Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen. Monday, April 28th, 8 45 a. m. It says Tuffler has written about these, this in terms of some scientists in their laboratories,  Different things. Trying to devise certain types of pathogens that would be ethnic specific. Ooh, imagine that. So they could just eliminate certain ethnic groups and races, and others are designing some sort of engineering, some sort of insects that can destroy specific crops. Others are engaging even in an eco type of terrorism, where they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes  remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves. The U. S. government has placed gag orders on employees of the National Weather Service. In October of 2012, after Hurricane Sandy weakened to a tropical storm, microwave imagery shows a thick red beam.  Now this says that you can the website for this is morphedintegratedmicrowaveimagery.  com C-I-M-S-S version one. The hurricane in the time of this type of energy was 2012 October 27th.  And you can go look for that yourself, but there is this red wave that goes directly at the hurricane  that is going away is dissipating. Then all of a sudden, immediately followed by Sandy growing into a category one hurricane and taking an unexplained left turn into New Jersey.  The push towards alternative energy demands more lithium and according to the US Geological Survey. The United States has over six million tons of identified lithium resources. The majority of this lithium has been identified in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. Kings Mountain is believed to have one of the largest resources in the world, but the biggest problem is that people live there and they don't want their quiet towns turned into lithium mines. People in Cherryville have been pushing against a proposed lithium mine for the last several years, but everyone we spoke with here said it's too divisive of an issue to share their opinion on camera.  Cherryville is a small, quiet town. I think that's good that we keep it small. so quiet. Many don't feel comfortable speaking out against Piedmont Lithium's proposed mining operation nearby. I think we're a silent majority.  I think a lot of people are afraid to say anything about it because they are bringing a lot to the town as far as money. Last year, the Department of Defense entered a 90 million agreement. Okay, DOD enters agreement to expand domestic lithium mining for U. S. battery supply chains. The 90 million agreement entered into the Defense Production Act, Title III authorities, and utilizing funds appropriately by the Inflation Reduction Act will help support Abler Marley's planned reopening of the Kings Mountain, North Carolina, lithium mine to increase domestic production of lithium for the nation's battery supply chain.  Estimates that Kings Mountain will be operational between 2025 and 2030. With Alba Marley Corporation to increase domestic production of lithium for the nation's battery supply chain,  specifically from Kings Mountain, North Carolina, starting by 2025.  This is the same area experiencing what is being described as biblical floods.  While the federal government spends billions on foreign wars and illegal immigrants, they simply cannot be bothered with the health and well being of the American people, especially those living on coveted mineral rich land.  Reporting for InfoWars, this is Greg Reese.  The family's devastation there.  So I think You have three questions to ask yourself about this hurricane and this conspiracy.  Can they do it?  Can they do it? Now we know the answer is yes.  Would they do it? If there's enough money involved, we know absolutely they would do it. Check. Did they do it?  That's the question that needs to be answered, but the first two are answered 100%. Can they do it? Yes. They can manipulate the weather and specifically hurricanes to make this type of movement inward towards shore. They can manipulate it to go where they want it to go, at least in some sense, right? The accuracy of that moving, but it obliterated almost, a fifth of the country towards that lower area.  So can they do it? Yes. Yes.  Would they do it if the price tag is high enough? Yes, absolutely. We know that Blackrock and Vanguard will go to any lengths to make profits.  Did they do it?  I'll leave that one to you. And maybe we'll see some type of evidence that comes out more here in the near future.  So  let's see if there's anything else on that. And then we will move on to the next topic. All right. So there's several people talking about this. There's several clips that have gone. Quote unquote viral about this. And here are some of  those. Let's see if we can  pull it up here.  All right.  This is the one that I probably found to be the best. I'll tell you what I find suspicious as shit, that one of the areas affected by hurricane Helene is the world's largest lithium deposit. And the DOD just entered into an agreement with this company right here to mine lithium for electric cars. Starting in 2025. Now that area is completely devastated. This is a 90 million agreement between the D. O. D. And this company right here to get Kings Mountain North Carolina lithium mine up and running by 2030. If that area has been inundated, it's in a disaster zone. then the government can come in and do eminent domain and they can pay you what it was worth five years ago rather than what it's worth right now. Imagine that your home has turned into a watery lot and the government comes to you and says, Hey, I'll pay you what you paid for it. You're going to take it and you're going to go, right? What do you think is going to happen right here now that they want this lithium mine up and running by 2025 2030 at the latest? Back in 1947 we had the Florida Georgia hurricane or hurricane nine and it was the first hurricane to be targeted for weather modification. What happened was General Electric said, The U. S. Navy, the Army, the Air Force, they poured dry ice into this hurricane using airplanes to see what would happen. Would they slow it down? What happened was it slowed down a little bit, but it turned west really sharp. Let me show you. This is the path that the hurricane took in 1947. Does it look similar to you? Probably not. It's a coincidence, right? Moving on. I'm sure this is just another coincidence, but do you know who owns the most shares in that lithium mine? BlackRock and Vanguard.  Yep, so everything I just told you just from her voice.  Now, the one thing that's interesting about that is the imminent domain conversation, which is the fact that was brought up when it came to Lahaina too. If this is a devastated land, the government can basically take control of that land, claim an imminent domain, pay out those people for that, not based on what is the mineral rich underneath that, the amount of materials that they can siphon from it, which would be the fair market value. But,  what they paid for it five years ago, before this contract was even entered, and before they even knew that there was lithium there.  Sounds like a good reason, and motivating enough for them. To me. Okay.  Let's move on here. But let's touch on this first. Remember that one time where Kamala said that disaster relief should be based on equity?  Also an interesting thing to note. Yeah, remember we talked about that before. I forget the, which hurricane was that. That was for Hurricane Ian. She said that, and here it is.  Oh, shit.  Let's see if we can get it to play from right here. Here we go. It is our lowest income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted and most impacted.  By these extreme conditions and impacted by issues that are not of their own making. And so when  Absolutely. And women. Yeah. And so we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity, understanding not everyone starts out at the same place. Yeah. Marxism. And if we want people to drown based on their income. Sometimes we have to take into account those disparities. And do that work. Yeah. Yeah.  That could be your next president, folks.  Alright, now that leads us to our next discussion.  which is about the longshoremen.  I think it was called the portshoremen. Not terribly inaccurate, but also not true. The longshoremen, international longshoremen's association. All right. This guy  is the one kind of leading  the discussion. I  believe he might be like the president of the union or something like that. I'm sure we'll find out in just a moment, but Very chilling words. And if you're an American citizen, this should frustrate the hell out of you, right? All of these unions, these strikes, these, all of this, look, I get it. You have to negotiate for fair wages and there's a certain way to go about that. And having a union is. If you're somebody who works in this type of job, and you also want to decimate the economy for a 50 percent raise on your 150, 000 salary. Now, I'm not saying these guys don't deserve that type of money. I'm not saying that they're in the complete wrong here in terms of making the strike, but understanding what could be the potential outcome for this as a result.  It's pretty terrifying too. Now, maybe you'd put that back onto the longshoremen the organizations that they work for and say, Hey, maybe you should pay them more. Maybe you should stop the automation. We'll talk about all of that, which is the reasons why they actually are going on this type of strike.  Let's go ahead and watch.  But  today's world, it's changing into the future. They're not making millions no more. They're making billions and they're spending it fast as they make it. I want a piece of that for my men because when they made their most money was during COVID. When my men had to go through Go to work on those peers every single day when everybody stayed home and went to work, not my men,  they died out there with the virus. We all got sick with the virus. We kept them going  from Canada, the main of Texas, Great Lakes, Puerto Rico. Now the Bahamas, everybody went to work during COVID. Nobody stayed home.  I want to be compensated for that.  I'm not asking for the world. They know what I want.  They know what they want. And if they don't then I have to go into the street and we have to fight for what we rightfully deserve. These people today don't know what a strike is. When my men hit the  from Maine to Texas. Every single port, a lockdown,  what's going to happen. I'll tell you. First week  be all over the news every night. Boom, boom. Second week  guys who sell cars can't sell cars because the cars ain't coming in off the ships.  They get laid off. Third week  mall starts. closing down. They can't get the goods from China. They can't sell clothes. They can't do this. Everything in the United States comes on a ship. They go out of business. Construction workers get laid off because the materials aren't coming in. The steel is not coming in. The lumber is not coming in.  They lose their job. Everybody's hating the longshoremen now because now they realize how important Our jobs are. Now I have the president screaming at me. I'm putting a Taft Hartley on you. Go ahead.  Taft Hartley means I have to go back to work for 90 days. That's a cooling off period.  Do you think when I go back for 90 days, those men are going to go to work on that pier? It's going to cost the money, the company's money, to pay their salaries it went from 30 moves an hour, maybe to eight.  They're going to be like this.  Who's going to win here in the long run? You're better off sitting down, and let's get a contract, and let's move on with this world. And in today's world, I'll cripple you.  I will cripple you, and you will have no idea what that means. Nobody does.  I love the nice music at the end there. I will cripple you, not I will cripple you, the longshoreman's associate or the organizations that they work for. No, I will cripple the men and women. He even said it in there. I will cripple the car salesman. I will cripple the small business owners. I will cripple the American family trying to get food to their table.  Right now you want to talk about what they're trying to negotiate here, what they want out of this strike.  They want a five year. A five year 50 percent raise. They currently make about 150, 000. They want a five year 50 percent raise 10 percent every year for the next five years.  The other part of this was about automation.  They want to have the companies that they work for stop using automation. Apparently on the previous contract that they utilized, and this comes from a video I watched, I haven't validated the contracts, but allegedly  they want it. The organizations that they work for to promise. They won't use AI promise. They won't use automation promise that they won't take their jobs eventually over time. Like every other industry is dealing with the same thing that we have saw with the writer's strike,  right? How long did it take for them to come to an agreement? Almost a year. It was like eight months, maybe even longer, right?  That's why all the movies sucked for all of last year. So  the question is what's going to come from this, right? And what is the expectation here? Yeah. If you don't move with the times, you're going to expect them to just never use automation, never use AI. And if they do, you're all going to quit.  Doesn't that just  Speed up the use of automation.  China's already doing this. China is already all of their longshoremen, all of their seaports that are taking in all of their goods or shipping it more than likely, if you're in China, all of those are already automated. There's videos out there that you can watch right now. These guys that sit behind the computer and they're working nine to 10 screens, all telling these vehicles where to go and what to pick up and how to move it and all this stuff. So they're hyper efficient compared to what we're doing. How do you expect it to not move that direction? And you're just going to sit on your butt and go, okay,  don't do it. Or I'm going to, I'm not going to work. What is the expectation here? And how is that a solution to the problem? Why not develop a strategic agreement or Alliance or profit sharing agreement that if there is automation, that there is a longstanding percentage of that automation profitability that goes towards retirement funds,  there's one solution. Why not?  Go build out the automation themselves. Why not start a company that then has the ability to, or it has the foresight to  service the vehicles, right? If you have a contract on any of these automations that are then in the future, the first right to contract for the, that money. goes to any previous longshoreman, right? So any of the automation that is being built, any of the maintenance that is being done, any of the assistance that needs to happen on the ports, all of that business immediately goes to the people who were previously hired as longshoremen. Maybe that's their agreement, but the idea that there's just never going to utilize automation and you're just going to outlast technology is just silly. So come to a better agreement,  figure it out in a way that's actually useful because this is not.  These guys are going to cripple the American economy. So let's get some context here. This article comes from ConstructionDive. com, and it says, work stoppages across east and west east and Gulf Coast ports may cause product shortages, price hikes, and delivery issues, construction experts say.  This was published yesterday, October 1st, 2024. It says, as the International Longshoremen's Association went on strike this morning over a new master contract, construction pros across the country are waiting to see how the walkout. which affects ports from Texas to Maine will impact their businesses. The ILA's talks with the United States Maritime Alliance broke down over wages and a total ban on the automation of machinery important to dock work, including cranes, gates, and container moving trucks. According to the Associated Press,  the strike is the first by the union since 1977.  The impacted reports are some of the main points of entry for construction materials, heavy machinery, food, vehicles, chemicals, according to the Wall Street Journal. Material delivery delays could also incur in other regions of the country, according to Manufacturing Dive. Exports of oil, liquefied natural gas at Gulf Coast ports will likely be unaffected due to the ILA has little or no involvement in those operations.  Bill Fleming, Senior Vice President at the New York based consulting firm, Cumming Group, weird name said that impacts of the strike should be felt immediately in the construction industry. Okay, so this is very specific to construction. Combine that with hurricane induced shortages, it starts to bring up. This could be catastrophic. For the U S infrastructure. So  there's a little bit more context. I'd like maybe a little bit more but I think you get the idea. It's all about AI. It's all about automation. It's about eliminating some of their jobs and them wanting higher pay. So not only do you want us to not use AI to lower our overhead costs.  You also want us to pay you more, which is only again, going to speed along the automation track. Automation is not going away.  What is going to go away is the people who don't jump on board with helping to build that future,  right? If you were somebody who is I don't know, what's a good example of an old job that is lost. If you were a  factory worker in building Model Ts  by hand. You probably weren't going to  decide not to work anymore once they decided to bring in some machines, right? If you were a horse and buggy taxi driver, you're not gonna decide not to drive a car, right? There's a new way to do what you do and to help push along the production line.  You just have to figure out what that part is. And see it soon enough to play a part, right? Don't fight against this. It's going to, it's going to happen. There's going to be automation, right? Maybe you get your raise because you add more skills around automation. Not just eliminate it, the use all together, right? Seems silly to me and the fact that they're going to shut down our country over some Ridiculous claim that there's going to not be any automation or AI integrated into this type of industry is ridiculous It's never gonna happen There's always going to be the next best thing and movement in industry and for them to say we're going to Cripple small business owners. We're going to cripple small businesses Young families, we're going to cripple the entire us economy until we get our way. We get a 50 percent rate, a 50 percent salary increase off of our 150, 000 a year salary. I'm not saying they don't deserve that. They deserve that. And they probably deserve more. It's a freaking hard job. It's a crazy difficult job. I'm not discounting that. But what I am saying is that you can't fight back against automation.  It's going to happen.  And if you don't do it, your company is going to go under. Because another company is going to come in and do it at a lower cost. Or they're going to outsource that work to other people and you're just going to lose your job altogether.  So that's where we're at with that. Now there's people sounding the alarm. There was lines outside the door at Costco yesterday, people bulk purchasing toilet paper and dry goods so that if, and when the supply chain fails over the next couple of weeks that they have what they need. Now, I'm not saying you need to go do that. I'm not saying not to do it, probably a good idea, always to have reserves of food,  reserves of water, reserves of gas, I'm not sure if there's a way to really do that, but if there was, you should probably do that generators, all of that stuff, guys just, if we've learned anything over the last four to five years, there is going to be some sort of catastrophic event that cuts us off from the grid, there's going to be supply chain shortages, COVID was just  a glimpse into that.  Maybe start to do something about that. Not specifically because of this, but just because you should, right? Because if it's not, this is going to be something else  be prepared.  All right, now moving on,  let's go ahead and pull  the next article up.  There is escalating tensions. Oh, we got one more thing here. One more thing. Let's see. Let's see this one more article and then we'll move on. Cause I think we got it. This is a big deal, guys. Let's watch this one.  Same guy.  Knocking down doors. She's trying to stop this. She's trying to get us to a media where we can have a fair negotiations. It's the companies that don't want to. They don't want to sit here and be fair. So that's why we're out here fighting for our livelihood. What more from the automation do you want? What more protections could there be? What more? Yeah, they have language in there now. Not strong enough. Because what happens is they come in with new technology. We just caught them in Mobile, Alabama called Autogate. And that means the trucks are coming in and they're already checked in somewhere else and not using the checkers in the I. L. A. Circa vetting the contract. They don't care. They don't care.  It's not fair, and if we don't put our foot down now, they would like to run over us, and we're not going to allow that. You are going to grind the economy to a halt here on the East Coast and the Gulf Coast. No, not us. They are. Don't spin it now, because you're Fox News. They're going to drive it. But are you worried? Are you  worried that this drive They have the capital. to settle this thing. Are you worried that this strike is going to hurt the everyday American, the farmers that need to reach the export market? They're telling me that they're going to hurt. You start to realize who the longshoremen are, right?  People never gave a about us until now, when they finally realized that The chain is being broke now. Cars won't come in.  Food won't come in. Clothing won't come in. You know how many people depend on our jobs? Half the world! And it's time for them, and time for Washington, to put so much pressure on them, to take care of us because we took care of them and we're here 135 years and brought them where they are today and they don't want to share.  Fox Business Lydia Hu joins us now from the port of Newark in New Jersey and I've been following you. We have been as you've done this story for us and now the rubber has met the road and he feels like he's dug in and feels like he's in a strong position. Is he in as strong a position as he thinks or appears to seem to be? He certainly feels like he's in a strong position, and he's probably looking around at other unions and the wage gains and the record contracts that they have notched in recent years. Just last year, the West Coast port workers got a new contract with a 32 percent wage hike. Over four years. So now Mr Daggett, the president is looking at that and saying we want that and better just yesterday, Dana, Mr Daggett rejected port management's offer of a 50 percent wage hike over eight years. Just to give you an idea of where they stand right now. It does seem like the two sides are still far apart, but he does at least see  Wow, so you see this guy is on a power hungry streak, right? Again, they have a fair contract 80 or 50 percent increase over eight years  Seems pretty fair to me the idea that there's already language in the contracts that say that they can't use automation Seems pretty fair to me bring up the litigation against the company, right? Go to the court with them Don't cripple the entire country all of the small business owners  Families trying to feed their children. Because you want to be selfish And again,  You're just going to get replaced. This is so stupid. What are you doing?  Ridiculous.  These unions are a problem, dude. These are, these unions are they,  The union, that guy is an absolute idiot. He's sitting there, riling up his team, Getting their, these, So let's move on to something just, if not more pressing, which is  the next stages leading up to potentially world war three, as we've seen, go back and search my podcast and look for world war three, we've seen the Russia, Ukraine, we've seen that I ran, or we've seen Israel and Hamas, we've seen Iran now, and Israel,  Iran has openly attacked Israel. is now attacking back. In light of that,  there is Russia escalating tensions. There was a fighter jet yesterday, a Russian SU 35 pilot  going right by an F 16 near Alaska in our own airspace. This is how they're treating us. This  fighter jet flies within two feet of our F 16, two feet, and then takes off.  Pretty sweet. The  pilot goes, holy fuck. Yeah, holy fuck.  But, that just shows you, they're willing to go to these lengths. And when you look at the BRIC you look at that alliance, you look at the downfall that's happening with the U. S. dollar. You look at the conversations that are being had between Russia and China, India, right?  We're, this is not a, this is not a winning battle for us.  We should not be in these wars. We should not be the proxy funding capital of the world.  Let Israel fight it out. We have nothing to do with this. Now,  the U. S. has sent another aid package to Israel.  And Biden has directed the U. S. military to shoot down Iranian missiles targeting Israel. It says U S president Joe Biden. This comes from business standard and vice president Kamal Harris are monitoring an Iranian attack against Israel from the white house state situation room and receiving regular updates from their national security team. According to the white house situation room update, president Biden directed the U S military aid to aid Israel's defense against Iranian attacks and shoot down missiles that are targeting Israel  on Tuesday in a major escalation in the raging conflict in the middle East. Iran launched a missile attack on Israel on Tuesday. To start a sentence with on Tuesday and end it with on Tuesday is crazy. In a statement, the IDF said all Israeli citizens are in bomb shelters as rockets from Iran are fired at Israel.  Hezbollah is upset that the IDF exposed their plans to massacre Israelis, this says, so they decided to target innocent civilians by firing a barrage of rockets, the IDF further said.  102 missiles have been launched towards Israel. According to the Jerusalem Post, sirens continue to sound across Israel amid the attack. The Times of Israel reported, according to the IDF, around 10 million civilians are the targets of Iranian projectiles. Okay, I'm not sure I'm taking the IDF's opinion on really anything at this point. Maybe there's a better quote or  source that we can utilize because we know it's all propaganda on both sides, all the way across. There was also a terrorist attack yesterday that killed, I think, eight civilians in Israel. Two men with guns that opened fire just before. Terrible. Horrible.  No good. Very bad day.  This is ridiculous. We shouldn't be involving ourselves. We all know that the United States is going to put its nose where it doesn't belong.  We all know that we are the ones that are fighting Iran. We are the ones that are fighting Russia. We are the ones aiding the both of these countries would have absolutely no chance if it wasn't for our money and they wouldn't even be in the wars to begin with.  But they're going to send your sons and daughters to die  so that Israel  has a chance in this war and so that  Ukraine can continue giving 10 percent to the big guy.  Here's a video again coming from Alex Jones. I think the more and more we get into this crazy scenario or this crazy simulation, the more we find Alex Jones stuff out, you bull. Now again, it's Alex Jones. Take it with a grain of salt. He's been right about a ton of stuff. He's been wrong about a few things, just like all of us. But here is his video that I thought was decently well done.  And it's only going to get worse until people wake up and you will wake up one way or another.  You may wake up when the drones are flying down the street and the big trash trucks, robot driven, are pulling up and getting the dead bodies and your wife and kids are dead. And for some reason you're immune to the new virus and you're sitting there with the electricity off and no food and half the city's dead.  And just know that often luxurious places that people like Zuckerberg will be in their bunkers while we're all dying.  Our people are everywhere  and they're watching the enemy. And when we all jump on their private jets this week, next month, a year from now, whatever it is,  and the private airports are full, all the establishment and their minions loaded up with all their crap flying off to their armored fortresses, that's another key to know when they're about to pull the trigger on a new bio weapon.  Or a nuclear war.  But after the dust settles, we know where to get the medicine and food we need as survivors, don't we? And that's what matters at the end.  Is we will get these people.  I may not be around for it, and a lot of you won't be around for it. But don't get on the bus when they tell you they're relocating you for your safety when all the food and energy's off.  Because you go to that forced labor camp, you ain't ever coming back.  This is how it works in history.  Happens all the time.  People forget freedom. They don't stand up for themselves and the tyrants take over.  And they don't just not care about you. They hate you. They want to hurt you. I always hear, Oh, the new order doesn't care about the people. Oh, the Democrats don't care. Oh, they do care. They love partying and taking drugs and getting their hair done and flying around on private jets while your kids are all locked up at the house with you and you're going bankrupt. They enjoy hurting you. It makes them enjoy their lives so much more.  And hey, only people you got to blame is yourself, right? I'm not saying you're to blame. They obviously are the really bad people. But, hey, I get it. A lot of fun stuff. A lot of movies to see. A lot of concerts. Let somebody else handle that. The new order is gonna handle you.  They're making their move.  You're like they'll never get away with that. This is America.

United States, about 60 out of 126 defendants had their pending obstruction charges dismissed, according to DOJ data released last week, which significantly diminishes the threat of decades of jail time for the defendants.  and Mega' El Niño may have fueled Earth's biggest mass extinction New research suggests that an overload of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere led to the climatic shift, which, in turn, killed 90% of the species on Earth around 250 million years ago, at the end of the Permian period. The finding has implications for modern climate science: Researchers don't know how current warming will affect the El Niño-La Niña cycle, but even a fraction of the disruption resulting from the world's worst mass extinction would make life for humanity very difficult.  We're joined by Nick Craig From Carolina News Journal  to talk about His new Show Debuting Monday September 16, at 5amt here on WBT as Craig Will delve into local and statewide political matters in North Carolina   Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Friday episode of Crossing the Streams.

The discussion then shifts to Tuesday nights debate with President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Stefanik criticizes the debate moderators, suggesting they were biased in favor of Harris, making the debate seem like a "three-on-one" against Trump. She highlights key issues like border security, inflation, and national security, arguing that Vice President Harris has played a significant role in current crises and that her policies, along with President Biden's, have been ineffective.   Coach Matt Dortehy joins us to give his brief insights on Tuesday night's Debate and also Delves into the importance of the remembrance of September 11th We were also joined by actor Phoenix Ferris from Liberty Mountain Drama to talk about his involvement in "Liberty Mountain, the Revolutionary Drama," a live theater production that tells the story of the Battle of Kings Mountain, a crucial event in the American Revolution.

I'm All About Innovation and Innovators So I Love This Story. In his new book “Clean Economy Now: Stories from the Front Lines of an American Business Revolution" Bob Keefe the Executive Director of E2 a national nonpartisan business group of 10,000 business leaders which has been around for 25 years, describes his recent travels across the country.    He wanted to witness first-hand all the clean energy projects in motion because of the significant private sector investment and job creation that's happened incredibly fast over the past 20 months since The Inflation Reduction Act.   Bob checked in on my show live from the Annual Society of Environmental Journalists, at the University of Pennsylvania co-hosted by the Penn Center for Science, Sustainability, and the Media, in collaboration with the Annenberg Public Policy Center. . He joined me live just minutes after the recent earthquake we had in the northeast rattled my radio studio in Greenwich CT.   Though the quake did hit parts of PA, and Bob and I had some fun talking about earthquakes in general since Bob is from L.A., Bob said he didn't really feel it, but what he mentioned he was feeling is an economic earthquake.   It's an economic revolution like we haven't seen says Bob. And he's making sure we are all paying attention.   “I truly believe that we are at the advent of an American economic revolution, the likes of which we have not seen in this country in generations, maybe if ever. And let me tell you why I say that.   “Right now, my organization is tracking clean energy job projects around the, or clean energy projects around the country since the passage of the landmark IRA, the Inflation Reduction Act and some other policies 20 months ago. And what we know is this, there are more than 300 major factories and other projects, clean energy projects, coming out of the ground across America right now. $118 billion worth of private sector investment. That's companies that are putting money into these projects. “ “These aren't government grants or loans. These are companies investing in America. A hundred thousand jobs have been already announced just in those past 20 months. When in this country have we ever seen 300 factories and other major projects coming out of the ground? When have we seen this kind of investment?” “We have foreign companies that are investing in the United States and creating jobs here now versus taking American jobs and doing stuff overseas. And it's not just creating all this economic growth, it's putting America on competitive again with the rest of the world.”   “We understand that we can't have a good economy without a good environment, and we can't have a good environment without a good economy. “   Bob points out that In New York alone there have been about a dozen major projects that E2 has tracked. $800 million worth of private sector investment in New York from companies, 3,000 plus jobs created. Bob and I talked about the offshore wind farm, the nation's first commercial offshore wind farm that just opened off Montauk, New York. Twelve turbines are going to provide enough juice for about 70,000 homes said Bob. And Bob mentioned there's another company that's building a converter station to essentially take offshore wind energy and convert it and get it onto the grid into people's homes.   Bob and I discussed many specific projects, besides the offshore wind farms including solar panel factories, battery technology and the potential of hydrogen as a clean fuel. I was captivated by what's happening and I think you will be too.   There's company called Air Products is now going to clean hydrogen and they're building one of the first factories in Messina, New York. In Connecticut, there's a company called Mott Corporation that's building filtration systems for use in things like this hydrogen. And mentioned there's another company called NEL, N-E-L, that relocated here from the Netherlands who are building something called electrolyzers that are going to be used by hydrogen plants like the one being built in Messina to produce hydrogen. Right now he said, there are something like 30 or 40, battery factories being built in America and about 60 solar factories popping up all around the country.   And l this is happening in places that Bob points out, you would not expect it to happen.   “As part of the book, I started off in a place called Kings Mountain, North Carolina. Well, Kings Mountain is home to an old lithium mine that was first established in the 1950s. At one time, it supplied lithium for the Manhattan Project, right? We all know what that is. Well, we have a company now that's restarting that mine because to supply batteries to manufacturers throughout the Southeast and other places. “   Drive down the street to Dalton, Georgia. And Dalton, Georgia used to be the carpet capital of the world, maybe it still is. Well right now a company called Q-Cells is building what will be the biggest, one of the biggest solar panel factories in the Western Hemisphere. Wow. In little old Dalton, Georgia. You know go a little further down the street in Georgia to Savannah and Kia and Hyundai are building one of the biggest electric vehicle factories on the planet. This is incredible stuff happening. “   I learned that Georgia is the number one state for clean energy projects right now. And that North Carolina has more investments in clean energy projects than any state. But big things are also happening in Alabama, Louisiana, New York, and I Connecticut.”   Arnold Schwarzenegger did the foreword to Bobs book.   “When I think about how far America has come in building a cleaner economy, I can't help but smile. It's hard to imagine we can fail, but make no mistake, we can If we do, it won't be a failure of innovation, of business. It will be a failure by us to come together to keep this great progress going. It will be a failure by us, collective us, to put aside our ideologies and political divisions and our complacency. It will be a failure for us too.” “If we do fail, it won't be a failure of innovation, or of business. It will be a failure by us to come together to keep this great progress going. It will be a failure by us, the collective us, to put aside our ideologies and political divisions and our complacency. “   Enjoy this fascinating interview about the current American Economic revolution in this podcast of my live conversation with Bob Keefe, Executive Director of E2, a national nonpartisan business group of 10,000 business leaders, on The Debbie Nigro Show.

A new American commander arrives in the South to lead the reconstructed Continental army. But as the bulk of the southern army regroups and plans a new strategy, a force of rugged frontiersmen from the Appalachian Mountains win a stunning victory. The Battle of Kings Mountain turns the tide of the war, though the combatants will only realize it over the course of time. Meanwhile, in the North, an American military hero, Benedict Arnold, becomes increasingly disenfranchised. He makes a deal with the British and begins a secret campaign to undermine American defenses. When his treachery is discovered, he switches sides and leads British troops in battle against his former countrymen. ~~~ Mission History is a collaboration of Black Barrel Media and QCODE.

Track Title: Picture PerfectPerformed by: Neika SimoneWritten by: Toneika Simone Stephens-YoungProduced by: Churchboi, WritazblokGenre: R&B Bio:Relaxing jazz vibes with a touch of funk and soul, the lovely Neika Simone is enchanting audiences with her angelic vocals. Heartfelt and emotionally driven, her alluring songs express a range of emotions, exploring universal human concepts like love and heartbreak. Her highly acclaimed EP, Beautiful Moments, has been ascending the charts on SmoothJazz.com while her hit single, “My Door,” has maintained a stable spot at the top of The Urban Influencers list for R&B and Soul. Attracting audiences around the world, Neika Simone is offering her soothing sounds to ease heavy hearts. Born and raised in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, her devotion to music is a lifelong passion. The name “Simone” was given to her in honor of the iconic vocalist, Nina Simone. It proved fitting for the aspiring artist, as Neika began singing at a young age in her hometown church youth choir. Soon after, her parents enrolled her in piano lessons at the age of 7. As a teenager, she started writing songs of her own. Shy and quiet, her talent gave her great confidence and served as an outlet for expression. A classically trained pianist and vocalist, in her later years of high school, Neika's teacher encouraged her to apply for music scholarships. She auditioned and was offered funding to study under one of the best music industry programs in the state. Neika attended Elizabeth City State University where she earned a Bachelor's degree in Music with a concentration in piano. She later attended Norfolk State University to obtain her Master's in Music Education with a focus on voice. As Neika Simone continued to grow as an artist, she developed a deep admiration for jazz. She was initially drawn to the genre after her first studio experience. In college, she attempted to add vocals to projects for other students in her program. After an ad libbed session, she was quickly dismissed, as the producers were looking for singers geared more toward hip-hop. She received great praise, however, for a voice well suited to the nuances of jazz. From there, her descent into the style progressed naturally. Neika discovered how much she admired the classiness, elegance, and sophistication of great vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson, and Sarah Vaughn. She held a reverence for the qualities they express in their music and their grace as phenomenal women in general.For a brief period, major events took precedence in Neika Simone's life, and the music stopped. She took a step back to navigate hardships such as health complications from endometriosis, divorce, and grief after the passing of her brother. As life began to settle, Neika needed to return to her true path. Music had previously been a constant in her life, so she shifted her focus back in that direction. She returned to her studies, reacquainting herself with chord progression, music theory, concept, and structure. Currently living in Richmond, Virginia, she met jazz musicians in the local scene and quickly found a band seeking Motown singers. Neika sang with them for several months, and soon, she met the manager of The Recliners. She worked with the group for a short time, until they disbanded. The remaining singers created a new band, Left Turn Right, who played and performed high energy shows. Neika also sang with the group, Fouray. With support from her friend and bandmate, Victor Nelson, she dove back into songwriting. Their combined efforts led to the release of the track, “My Door,” and Nelson also helped with her first EP, Beautiful Moments. Things picked up and Neika's career saw a boost of momentum. In November of 2021, she released the single, “Sweet Craving,” followed by her EP in February of 2022. Other names in the industry who have helped her along the way include Hanan Lane, Brandon Lane, and Gerard Johnson. These talented musicians, along with many others, have been essential in her growth as a songwriter. Neika Simone has learned many lessons about music, life, and love. Although the journey has been difficult and discouraging at times, she is tenacious and her efforts have been well spent. Singer, songwriter, and performer, she is also a music instructor for students of all age groups in chorus, voice, and piano. Teaching is a major part of who Neika is, having done so since her early twenties. With a longing to inspire others, she is sharing advice with students and audiences alike. “Life doesn't always give you what you want,” she explains. “Sometimes you have to work for it. You have to wait for it. You have to be persistent.”Grateful for the unrelenting support of her loving parents and husband, Neika Simone believes there are no wasted experiences. Even the painful moments provide valuable opportunities to learn. Neika takes these experiences and finds perspective, which she shares in her work. Her songs are real and relatable accounts of love, heartbreak, and hope. Neika encourages listeners, grounding and healing others with her comforting songs. A teacher with saintlike patience, she is helping those around her let go of their pain with relatable lyrical content. Filled with uplifting energy, Neika Simone allows audiences to relax as the melody, the words, and the rhythm washes over them.Social Links: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NeikaSimoneInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/neika_simone/Twitter: https://twitter.com/NeikaSimone

On October 7, 1780, a band of American backwoodsmen slowly encircled British loyalists. The loyalists had the numbers, the training, and the high ground, but on this day the traditional rules of war would not work out for them. The entire force would disintegrate and force Lord Cornwallis to withdraw from his Southern campaign and escape to Yorktown, where he eventually surrendered to Washington, effectively ending the war. In terms of the battle's relative importance, King's Mountain is arguably the most pivotal battle in the entire American Revolution, but it doesn't get the airtime other battles fought in the Northern theater of the war receive. http://battlerattlepodcast.com/
