  • Should the Trump Administration Change the ‘Signal’?

    Should the Trump Administration Change the ‘Signal’?

    Should the Trump Administration Change the ‘Signal’?

    It’s an app everyone uses in D.C. But who’s behind it?

    By Daniel Greenfield for frontpagemag.com

    Last month, a source called me. As usual in D.C., he wanted to talk on Signal. The encrypted communications app long ago replaced Blackberries as the default way to message in D.C.

    So it wasn’t that surprising that a magazine editor somehow got added onto a Trump administration Signal chat involving J.D. Vance and other administration figures discussing air strikes against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen. Since everyone under 50 in D.C. is constantly messaging each other and media contacts, something like this was eventually bound to happen.

    In an age where high-level remote government meetings have become the norm, important decisions in America and Europe are arrived at by video chat and text.

    But there may be bigger reasons why the Trump administration and everyone in D.C. should be wary about using Signal. While the app is ubiquitous because it’s perceived as being more ‘private’ than WhatsApp, which is owned by Facebook, Brian Acton, the man behind WhatsApp, created the Signal Foundation and is a major liberal donor. Moxie Marlinspike, Signal’s other founder and coder, claims to be an anarchist, and no fan of the Trump administration.

    Liberal foundations helped fund Signal’s rise and the initial fiscal sponsorship for Signal was provided by the Freedom of the Press Foundation whose key figures, Daniel Ellsberg of the Pentagon Papers, Edward Snowden and Glenn Greenwald, are better known for leaking damaging government information to leftists, rather than for keeping it secret.

    Signal continues to be run today by leftists who passionately hate the Trump administration.

    The Signal Foundation’s president, Meredith Whittaker, described as the “woman in charge of the secure communication channel”, became famous leading a revolt against Google when it dared to add the black female president of the Heritage Foundation to its AI council.

    “There is zero proof that anti-conservative bias exists. In fact, these companies bend over backwards to not enforce their terms of service for people like President Trump,” Whittaker falsely claimed.

    Other foundation board members include Katherine Maher, the current head of NPR and former head of Wikimedia, who famously claimed that “our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that’s getting in the way of finding common ground and getting things done.”

    Maher had said that, “the number one challenge that we see here is, of course, the First Amendment in the United States.”  She had cheered Hillary and Kamala, and denounced President Trump as a “deranged racist sociopath.” Rounding out the board are Jay Sullivan, a former Twitter exec ousted by Musk and Amba Kak, a Whittaker protege with ties to the Biden administration.

    Signal is a leftist activist group which makes it all the more strange that so much of D.C. is convinced that their privacy is secure using it. So much so that key Trump administration figures, including the vice president, could chat about an upcoming military strike on Signal.

    For now there’s no evidence that Signal calls or chats were compromised by anything other than ‘user error’ of the kind that leads random people to occasionally try to add me to groups on Skype, WhatsApp, Signal and every known communications app in the free world.

    Signal’s leaders continue to boast that they are committed to the security of the app and the organization’s actual CTO, Ehren Kret, occasionally retweets Elon Musk, but the fundamental difference between WhatsApp and Signal lies not in the technology, but its credibility.

    “Signal either works for everyone or it works for no one. Every military in the world uses Signal, every politician I’m aware of uses Signal. Every CEO I know uses Signal because anyone who has anything truly confidential to communicate recognizes that storing that on a Meta database or in the clear on some Google server is not good practice,” Whittaker said.

    The question is whether there might be a tipping point at which the value of sabotaging the ‘right’ takes priority over operating a credible platform, as it did when Whittaker went to war against having even one single conversative sit on Google’s AI ethics review board.

    Signal is just a digital incarnation of leftist civil libertarianism of the kind that created the ACLU and other free speech movements because they believed that privacy and speech innately favored insurgent revolutionary movements over establishment conservative ones.

    “I champion civil liberty as the best of the non-violent means of building the power on which worker’s rule must be based. If I aid the reactionaries to get free speech now and then, if I go outside the class struggle to fight against censorship, it is only because those liberties help to create a more hospitable atmosphere for working class liberties. The class struggle is the central conflict of the world; all others are incidental. When that power of the working class is once achieved, as it has been only in the Soviet Union, I am for maintaining it by any means whatever,” ACLU co-founder Roger Nash Baldwin wrote in ‘Soviet Russia’.

    The entire quote is important because it makes it all too clear that civil libertarianism for groups like this is a strategy, a means, not an end, a way to bring down the system and then rule over it.

    The ACLU’s current Case Selection Guidelines lay out a more sophisticated version of this argument calling for a consideration of the “impact of the proposed speech and the impact of its suppression” on the organization’s leftist political agenda. And in the last election, you could find the ACLU holding events on “ways to combat the spread of disinformation”.

    The ACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation still, for the most part, oppose the government use of big tech companies to engage in censorship, known as ‘jawboning’, but other digital civil libertarian groups, notably the Electronic Privacy Information Center, have come out on the side of some government censorship. The Knight Foundation, which helped fund Signal and retains ties to it, has sympathies for ‘jawboning’ censorship.

    Katherine Maher, a Signal board member, described taking “a very active approach to disinformation,” based on “conversations with government” in her past career.

    Privacy on Signal, like that on any platform or app, depends on the commitment of those in charge to maintaining its integrity. Where WhatsApp is seen as an information gathering tool for Facebook’s data hungry operation, Signal emphasizes that it’s a non-profit and has no reason to spy on you. But Facebook does things to make money whereas Signal’s motives are ideological. And that ideology is hostile to conservatives and the Trump administration.

    I use Signal, the way I use every communications app or service, with the assumption that anything I send is vulnerable to being intercepted, seen and heard if there is a sufficiently motivated party inside or outside the organization behind it. That’s not paranoia, it’s pragmatism. Privacy can be improved, but it can’t ever be absolutely ensured.

    Conservatives should use Signal cautiously and Trump administration officials would do well not to hold meetings using a supposedly secure app run by some of their worst enemies.

  • Reported Arrests of China’s Top Military Brass Indicate Political Crisis, Experts Say

    Reported Arrests of China’s Top Military Brass Indicate Political Crisis, Experts Say

    Reported Arrests of China’s Top Military Brass Indicate Political Crisis, Experts Say

    from the Epoch Times

    In what has been described by one China expert as potentially among the “most dangerous developments in the world today,” Gen. He Weidong, the third-in-command of communist China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA), and several other military leaders, have reportedly been arrested amid the Chinese regime’s ongoing military purge.

    It’s unclear whether Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping or his political enemies were behind the alleged purge of the Fujian clique, one of two groups considered to be Xi’s allies. The possibility of the second scenario has raised some concerns that Xi may become more aggressive on the international front if he believes that he’s on the verge of losing power.

    He, the second-ranked vice chairman of the CCP’s Central Military Commission (CMC) and a member of the Party’s Politburo, has not been seen in public since March 11, when he attended this year’s closing session of the National People’s Congress (NPC), the Chinese regime’s rubber-stamp legislature and the highest state organ of power.

    During the two weeks, He and the CMC’s first-ranked vice chairman, Zhang Youxia, were both absent from a seminar that marked the CCP’s enactment of the Anti-Secession Law 20 years ago. The law targets so-called Taiwan separatists. Neither were they seen by Xi’s side during his visit to China’s southwestern Yunnan Province. Their absences were considered unusual because such events had previously been attended by at least one of the two CMC vice chairmen.

    Zhao Lanjian, a former investigative journalist in China who is now based in the United States, recently told The Epoch Times that at least three sources had confirmed to him that He had been detained on March 11.

    According to Zhao Lanjian, who first reported He’s alleged arrest on social media platform X on March 13, the PLA general was taken away shortly after the NPC session and subsequently had a heart attack and was detained at the 301 Hospital, a top PLA hospital that treats the CCP’s high-level officials. The hospital is often mentioned in rumors concerning political assassinations within the Chinese regime.

    Zhao Lanjian cited one of the sources, saying that the CMC is reviewing He’s speeches as CMC vice chairman, along with documents, photos, and videos involving him, to remove his influence.

    The information was corroborated by Cai Shenkun, a China affairs commentator who previously broke the stories of the removals of former Defense Minister Li Shangfu and Adm. Miao Hua from their posts.

    In a YouTube livestream on March 24, Cai said the PLA’s theater command leaders have been notified of He’s arrest.

    More Rumored Arrests, Absence

    Besides He, several other PLA commanders from the Fujian faction are also said to have been placed under investigation, according to Zhao Lanjian and Cai.

    Zhao Lanjian said that He’s secretary has been investigated, possibly for leaking information. Zhao Lanjian also said those arrested include Zhao Keshi, former head of the PLA’s General Logistics Department, and several other military commanders from Fujian Province, where Xi spent 17 years before his rise to power.

    On March 25, Cai said Lin Xiangyang, commander of the Eastern Theater Command, was arrested on March 24 for leaking a “so-called Taiwan Strait battle plan.” It’s unclear to whom the information was allegedly leaked.

    Meanwhile, the absence of Defense Minister Dong Jun from a plenary meeting of the State Council earlier this month also raised some eyebrows.

    So far, Beijing has not commented on the reported arrests or provided an explanation for Dong’s absence.

    China’s foreign ministry didn’t respond to The Epoch Times’ inquiry about the individuals’ whereabouts by publication time.

    ‘Unprecedented’ Infighting

    Since Xi assumed power in 2012, the CCP leader has launched a sweeping anti-corruption campaign. According to a recently unclassified document published by the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence, nearly 5 million officials were investigated and found guilty by 2022.

    However, the campaign “more deeply reflects a party-directed securitization, or a targeting of political indiscipline and ideological impurity, particularly at the highest levels of government, in an effort to preserve the CCP’s domestic control and legitimacy,” the report stated.

    Xi’s policies, particularly his anti-corruption campaign and centralization of power, created enemies within the regime, such as Party elders, so-called CCP princelings, and some of the PLA’s top brass.

    In the past two years, a number of senior CCP officials and PLA commanders have been dismissed or suspended following their unexplained disappearances.

    Some analysts have said that Zhang, who’s from the Shaanxi gang, another faction that was considered to be Xi’s ally, may have been behind the more recent purges, which targeted the Fujian clique.

    Political commentator and China expert Gordon Chang said the rumored arrests of He and Zhao Keshi “could be the most dangerous developments in the world today,” as the PLA “does not look either stable or loyal to China’s paramount leader,” no matter who was behind the purges or whether the rumors are true.

    “The fact that they are circulating tells us that there are elements trying to destabilize the Chinese ruler,” Chang wrote in an articlepublished in The Hill on March 19.

    “A Xi under siege could decide to lash out.”

    In an interview with The Epoch Times, Zhao Lanjian said the latest development suggests that the CCP’s internal struggle has reached an “unprecedented” level.

    Either Xi has “completely abandoned” his old subordinates or “anti-Xi forces within the military” are eliminating Xi’s people, he said.

    Zhao Lanjian said the instability within the PLA means that it won’t be able to launch an invasion of Taiwan in the near future.

    Shen Ming-Shih, research fellow at Taiwan’s Institute for National Defense and Security Research and director of the institute’s division of national security research, told The Epoch Times that Zhang’s power appears to be growing with the reported downfall of Xi’s followers and the presence of Zhang’s allies in key military positions.

    Shen said that as Xi fends off those who want to oust him, the control of the military “has become crucial.”

    Chi Yue-yi, a PLA expert at the Institute for National Defense and Security Research, said he believes that Xi is still steadily maintaining his power.

    While there may be “different voices” within the CCP and PLA cliques that oppose Xi, they don’t seem to be “enough to form an anti-Xi force,” he told The Epoch Times.Cai said on his YouTube livestream that if the Chinese leader’s position was under great threat, he could start a war in the Taiwan Strait to change the status quo.

  • The left knew they were lying to us all along

    The left knew they were lying to us all along

    If you have already read the following, my apologies. I feel it is a disturbing truth and worth repeating.

    The left knew they were lying to us all along

    Victor David Hanson 

    For years, the left has advanced utter untruths for cheap partisan purposes that it knew at the time were all false. And now when caught, they just shrug and say they were lying all along.

    Once it was known that the first COVID-19 case originated in or near a Chinese communist virology lab engineering gain-in-function deadly viruses — with help from Western agencies — the left went into full persecution mode.

    They damned as incompetent, racist, and conspiratorial any who dared follow logic and evidence to point out that the Chinese government and its military were both culpable for the virus and lying.

    A million Americans died of COVID. Millions more suffered long-term injuries. Still, the left-wing media and Biden administration demonized any who dared speak about a lab origin of the deadly virus.

    The lies were designed to protect the guilty who had helped fund the virus’s origins, such as Doctors Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins.

    The Biden government also tried to use the lab theory to ridicule a supposedly pro-Trump “conspiracy.”

    Western corporate interests deeply invested in China did not want their partner held responsible for veritably killing and maiming hundreds of millions worldwide.

    Almost as soon as Joe Biden was inaugurated, the left knew that he was physically and mentally unable to serve as president.

    Indeed, that was the point.

    Biden’s role was designed as a waxen figurine for hard-left agendas that, without the “old Joe Biden from Scranton” pseudo-moderate veneer, could never have been advanced.

    His handlers operated a nightmare administration: the destruction of deterrence abroad, two theater wars, 12 million illegal aliens, a weaponized justice system, hyperinflation, and $7 trillion more in debt.

    By 2017, the public knew three truths about the so-called Christopher Steele dossier.

    One, it was completely fallacious — fabricated by a has-been, ex-British spy Christopher Steele. He childishly had cobbled together lurid sex stories, James Bond spy fictions, and Russian-fed disinformation to destroy the Trump candidacy and later presidency.

    Two, it was paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign. She hid her checks behind the Democratic National Committee, the Perkins Coie law firm, and Fusion GSP paywalls.

    Three, the FBI under James Comey hired Steele as an informant. It helped disseminate his concocted files and was also instrumental in trying to subvert the Trump campaign and later administration.

    No sane person ever believed that Hunter Biden’s laptop was the work of “Russian disinformation.” Its contents a year before the 2020 election were verified by the FBI, but it kept mum about its confirmation.

    The pornographic pictures, the evidence of prostitution and drug use, the electronic communications implicating Joe Biden in his family’s illicit shake-down operation of foreign governments — all were never challenged by anyone who was associated with the laptop’s contents.

    Yet future Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, along with former interim CIA Director Mike Morrell, sought to fabricate a colossal lie to arm their candidate, Joe Biden, with plausible denial in the last presidential debate before the 2020 election.

    They rounded up a rogue’s gallery of 51 now utterly discredited former intelligence authorities to lie to the nation that the laptop was likely fake.

    All knew the FBI had verified the laptop. But they also knew that their titles would empower their lies that the Russians likely invented the laptop to aid the sinister Trump.

    And the ruse worked like a charm.

    In the debate, Biden cited their lies chapter and verse to claim the incriminating laptop was fake. A lying media damned Trump as a puppet of Vladimir Putin. Biden, little more than a week later, won the 2020 election.

    The Biden administration deliberately destroyed the southern border and welcomed 12 million illegal aliens. And then it lied that Biden had no power to stop the influx.

    The media fabricated the excuse that “comprehensive immigration reform” was needed to enforce federal immigration laws already on the books.

    Upon inauguration, Trump, in a matter of days, stopped what Biden had deliberately engineered for years.

    Biden’s handlers wanted new millions of poor illegal aliens, dependent on social services, to swarm the borders.

    They saw them as future voters and constituents to fuel their victim/victimizer Marxist binaries.

    And they now quietly see their efforts as a huge success — knowing that it will be near impossible to find the millions of illegal aliens they welcomed in.

    All these lies have divided the country and permanently damaged the U.S.

    The perpetrators have neither apologized for their lies nor tried to either deny or substantiate them.

    No one involved has ever been held legally accountable.

    The legacy media permanently ruined its reputation and will likely never be seen as credible again.

    The Biden administration, overseer of many of these lies, will be regarded as the most duplicitous and dishonest presidency in modern history.

  • Tesla Terror

    Tesla Terror

    Tesla Terror

    Welcome to leftist “resistance” – and Democrat treason.

    March 21, 2025 by Mark Tapson forFrontpagemagazine.com

    The Democrats may have been rocked on their heels temporarily by their election loss to Donald Trump, and sent into a tailspin of internal bickering about why they lost American voters, but now they are revving up The Resistance – and it includes waging domestic terrorism against the MAGA movement they falsely equate with Nazi fascism.

    The primary target around which the Democrats are uniting in violent protest is Trump appointee and mega-billionaire Elon Musk, whose Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has rooted out a reported $115 billion and counting in federal waste and fraud. Musk is therefore an existential threat to the Big Government Left, which depends on bureaucratic bloat and hidden slush funds to maintain their grip on power and to fuel their agenda of permanent one-party hegemony.

    Violent Marxists at heart, the Left has launched a coordinated campaign of terror this month against Musk’s American auto company Tesla and even the owners of Tesla vehicles. Tesla dealerships are being firebombed, both here and abroad (a dozen Teslas were torched at a dealership in France; some in Berlin as well). Democrat terrorists are vandalizing Teslas in parking lots and confronting Tesla drivers with angry profanities and threats.

    Several Tesla vehicles were set afire in Las Vegas early Tuesday morning, for example. Police said the attacker used Molotov cocktails, shot rounds into vehicles, and scrawled the word “resist” on the front doors of the Tesla Collision Center. Kansas City, Missouri, police are investigating a similar attack at a local dealership. Other such incidents have taken place in Oregon and Washington state.

    Last week, a Tesla dealership in Colorado was targeted by terrorists using Molotov cocktails and spray-painting “Nazi cars” on the building’s facade. In Colorado, a man was arrested for hurling five Molotov cocktails at a Tesla charging station, damaging three EV chargers. He also scrawled anti-Trump and pro-Ukraine messages next to the damaged chargers before confronting a female Tesla driver, who managed to drive away.

    Curiously, the Daily Caller notes that an inordinate number of Tesla vandals are transgender. A 26-year-old Trump hater with “She/They” pronouns vandalized – allegedly – a newly built Tesla sales, service, and delivery center with graffiti targeting Trump and Musk, and supporting “trans rights.” A 24-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of arson and other charges at a Tesla dealership in Loveland, Colorado in connection with the earlier arrest of a man claiming to be a woman, following “several” instances of vandalism at the dealership, which included incendiary devices.

    In New York, a man scrawled a swastika on a Cybertruck, leaving its Jewish owner stunned. Videos of other such vandalisms are all overthe internet.

    The Democrat terrorists have also launched a “DOGEQUEST” website doxxing the names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of Tesla owners, symbolically threatening them with a Molotov cocktail cursor icon. The site claims it will remove an individual’s data if they can prove they sold their vehicle. In addition, a map includes the locations of Tesla dealerships, supercharger stations, and even DOGE employees.

    Last Tuesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote in a statement that

    The swarm of violent attacks on Tesla property is nothing short of domestic terrorism. The Department of Justice has already charged several perpetrators with that in mind, including in cases that involve charges with five-year mandatory minimum sentences.

    We will continue investigations that impose severe consequences on those involved in these attacks, including those operating behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes.

    Trump himself has declared that these actions constitute domestic terrorism. Asked by a reporter last week if violent Tesla protesters should be “labeled domestic terrorists,” he said “I’ll do it. You do it to Tesla and you do it to any company, we’re going to catch you and you’re going to go through hell.”

    On the ground level, this campaign is being carried out by operatives (often masked) doing the dirty work; on another level, the campaign is being promoted openly by Democrat politicians and cultural elites.

    Failed Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz, in one shocking example, gleefully crowed to a town hall audience in Wisconsin that he got “a little boost during the day” from checking Tesla’s falling stock on his iPhone. (Musk clapped back on X, posting, “Sometimes when I need a little boost, I look at the @JDVance portrait in the @WhiteHouse and thank the Lord.”)

    MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow tried to claim that her party’s domestic terrorists are simply people “who don’t support Elon Musk’s car company,” and that they are merely “boycotting” or “protesting” Tesla. She called Bondi’s and Trump’s stern pronouncements “threats,” while completely ignoring her party’s threats and actualviolence toward Tesla owners and dealerships. MSNBC’s The Beathost Ari Melber tried to argue the same point.

    Slimy late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel drew big applauseand cheers from his audience by noting that Tesla stock was “disastrously” down and Teslas were being vandalized. He also got a big laugh when he stared meaningfully into the camera and said unconvincingly, “Please don’t ever vandalize Tesla vehicles.”

    Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host Jordan Klepper laughed while his audience repeatedly cheered at fiery footage of Tesla dealerships, Teslas, and charging stations being bombed and vandalized.

    “I don’t think people are mad at you because of the Teslas, Elon,” Klepper said:

    If I were to hazard a guess about why they’d be mad it might be because in the last several weeks you fired tens of thousands of federal workers, you made cuts to veterans care, lifesaving foreign aid, and food banks, you cancelled important medical research… Yeah, people might get a little upset if you stop their medical trial halfway through them.

    That’s not what is happening, but Democrats are not nearly as keen on facts as they are on mockery, which is much more effective, as Marxist strategist Saul Alinsky famously noted. Klepper went on to say some people have left “helpful messages,” before cutting to images of vandalized Teslas and dealerships with swastikas and “Nazi scum” spray-painted on them. “Maybe people are mad at you because you don’t seem to know what the fuck you’re doing!” Klepper added.

    Or maybe they’re just radicals trying to force political change through violence – i.e., terrorists.

    Speaking of “helpful messages,” the Libs of TikTok social media account posted a video with the caption, “Stickers on parking meters in Brooklyn are calling for someone to kill Elon.” The camera in the video finds a parking meter with a pair of stickers plastered on it which read, “WHO WILL KILL ELON?” The caption added, “The Left has become a violent terror organization.”

    (Technically, the Left has always, since its inception in the French revolution, been a violent terror organization; see my Freedom Center colleague Daniel Greenfield’s book Domestic Enemies.)

    The murderous impulse behind this terrorism is shared by the anti-Trump “Right.” Despicable NeverTrumper Rick Wilson – a tightly-wound troll full of hateful anger – posted a paywalled article on his Substack page with the unambiguous headline, “Kill Tesla, Save the Country.” The tagline is literal incitement to terrorism: “Elon has a weak spot. Attack.” The opening sentence hyperbolically smears Musk as a Nazi and fascist, as prelude to encouraging the Leftist mob to Save Democracy™ by any means necessary.

    Asked on CNN if this is “what resistance looks like,” Democrat politician, Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton replied, “So, Trump thinks that if you try to kill cops to overthrow the government and change an election, that’s not domestic terrorism, but, somehow, having a protest in front of a Tesla dealership is?”

    This is today’s Democrat leadership: spewing disgusting lies while providing cover for their own party’s domestic terrorism. As conservative activist Robby Starbuck tweeted on X,

    Democrats could condemn terror attacks on Tesla with a simple statement released by the party and elected Democrats could release individual statements about it but they haven’t done so. Any decent person would but they REFUSE. This tells me that they want this domestic terror.

    Of course they want it. Domestic terror is central to Left-wing political strategy. Democracy dies not in darkness, as The Washington Post once pontificated, but in the Democrat Party’s open support for, and engagement in, anti-American terrorism.

    Again the howling hysterical hyenas are participating in “peaceful protests”. Their gravy train is threatened and they must peacefully protest. This will be a test for AG Bondi.

  • WEF Demands Global Ban on Homegrown Food to Meet ‘Net Zero’

    WEF Demands Global Ban on Homegrown Food to Meet ‘Net Zero’

    WEF Demands Global Ban on Homegrown Food to Meet ‘Net Zero’

    The World Economic Forum (WEF) is demanding that global governments enforce bans on members of the general public growing food at home in order to supposedly lower “emissions.”

    The globalist organization claims that homegrown food contributes to “climate change.”

    The WEF argues that banning homegrown food will help governments comply with their targets for meeting “Net Zero” by 2030.

    In order to comply with the WEF’s “Net Zero” targets, governments must drastically reduce “carbon emissions” by 2030 and completely eliminate them by 2050.

    According to so-called “experts” behind a recent WEF study, researchers apparently discovered that the “carbon footprint” of homegrown food is “destroying the planet.”

    As a result, the WEF and other globalist climate zealots are now demanding that governments intervene and ban individuals from growing their own food in order to “save the planet” from “global warming.”

    Globalists insist that allowing citizens to grow their own food will undermine efforts to meet the goals of the “Net Zero” agenda as dictated by the WEF and the United Nations (UN).

    The research indicated that garden-to-table produce causes a far greater carbon footprint than conventional agricultural practices, such as those on rural farms.

    This research, conducted by WEF-funded scientists at the University of Michigan, was published in the journal Nature Cities.

    The study looked at different types of urban farms to see how much carbon dioxide (CO2) was produced when growing food.

    On average, a serving of food made from traditional farms creates 0.07 kilograms (kg) of CO2, according to the study.

    However, the WEF-funded researchers claim that the impact on the environment is almost five times higher at 0.34kg per portion for individual city gardens.

    The paper’s first author Jake Hawes, said:

    We don’t spam! Read our privacy policy for more info.

    “The most significant contributor to carbon emissions on the urban agriculture sites we studied was the infrastructure used to grow the food, from raised beds to garden sheds to pathways, these constructions had a lot of carbon invested in their construction.”

    The study recruited 73 urban agriculture sites around the world.

    Those farms included some in Europe, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

    The researchers say they conducted a comprehensive life cycle assessment on the site’s infrastructure, irrigation, and supplies.

    Hawes and his teammates grouped urban agriculture sites into three categories: individual or family gardens, including allotments; collective gardens, such as community gardens; and larger, commercial-orientated urban farms.

    The researchers also found other factors that they claimed are “hazardous” when it comes to impacting the alleged “climate crisis.”

    Poorly managed compost and other synthetic inputs contribute to “global warming,” they warned.

    They further advised that fruit was 8.6 times more “eco-friendly” when grown conventionally compared to in a city.

    Vegetables, meanwhile, were 5.8 times better for the environment when left to the professionals, they claim.

    Moreover, two-thirds of the “carbon footprint” of allotments is created by the garden itself, as per their data.

    Nevertheless, they insist that people should be limited when it comes to keeping plants inside their homes, as well as growing food in their gardens.

    Urban gardeners used to have no qualms about greening their indoor spaces.

    For one, this reduces city living anxieties and emotional stress.

    Also, being able to take care of plants inside their offices and homes could be part of interior design and a slight improvement in air quality.

    However, climate alarmists are not going to give city dwellers peace of mind.

    According to the WEF researchers, greening indoor spaces can also come at an environmental cost.

    They cite “carbon emissions” from the trucks that transport plants, plastic pots, and synthetic fertilizers.

    These, they said, are made from petroleum, and the harvesting of soil components like peat can “tear up slow-forming habitats.”

    Susan Pell, the director of the U.S. Botanic Garden in Washington, D.C., downplayed the narrative.

    Pell argues that members of the general public should at least still be able to grow potted plants at home, even if they can’t buy them.

    They just need to consider the “environmental harm of indoor gardening,” she claims.

    The news comes amid a growing war against the food supply to supposedly fight “global warming.”

    As Slay News reported, 14 major American cities have set a “target” to comply with the WEF’s green agenda goals by banning meat and dairy products by 2030.

    The agreement also seeks to ban private car ownership and place other restrictions on public freedoms to meet the WEF’s “Net Zero” goals.

    The U.S. cities have formed a coalition called the “C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group” (C40), which has established an “ambitious target” to meet the WEF’s goals by the year 2030.

    To fulfill the “target,” the C40 Cities have pledged that their residents will comply with the following list of mandatory rules:“0 kg [of] meat consumption”
    “0 kg [of] dairy consumption”
    “3 new clothing items per person per year”
    “0 private vehicles” owned
    “1 short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person”

    The news comes as the WEF ramps up efforts to demand governments crack down on the freedoms of their citizens.

    As Slay News reported earlier this year, WEF members unveiled plans for permanently mass-vaccinating the general public “every six months.”

    During the WEF’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, in January, globalists announced plans for bi-annual mass vaccinations with “long-acting” mRNA “vaccines.”

    The plan is purportedly part of an effort to supposedly tackle multiple diseases.

    During panel discussions at the meeting in Davos, WEF members laid out plans for tech-driven precision medicine, “long-acting injectables,” “climate-sensitive” vaccines, and mRNA therapeutics for non-communicable diseases.

    The WEF and UN can place a zucchini where the sun does not shine!

  • Rubio Boots South African Ambassdor

    Rubio Boots South African Ambassdor

    Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared the Ambassador to the US from South Africa, Embrahim Rasool, persona non grata.

    Rasool, 62, a South African muslim of mixed English-Javanese-Dutch-Indian heritage, called President Donald Trump a white supremacist and made disparaging comments about the US at a conference in Johannesburg last week.

    He made the comments in a speech about the current SA plans to expropriate land, farms and businesses from white Boer and Afrikaaner families to give to blacks. The ruling ANC recently changed the laws in South Africa to allow the lands to be taken without recompense.

    Rasool had been Ambassador to the US from 2010-2015. He was re-nominated by SA president Cyril Ramaphosa near the end of Bidens term and was accepted by Biden on 13 January of this year.

    For those unfamiliar with the term in diplomatic circles, declaring someone persona non grata – Latin for a person not wanted or an unwelcome person – is tantamount to expelling that person from the country.  A host country may declare any member of a diplomatic staff persona non grata at any time without any explanation.

    All politics are local

    I wanna explain something you may not realize, see this Finnish girl, you and her have much in common, she married a yooper, not everyone has yooper, you people have me and just like her, ain’t you lucky, of course you are.

    As you know I have two crows (cleanup crew), been hanging around for years, few times I have put some stuff down with-in a foot of their beaks, best not to push my luck, what little of it I do have. What they leave me are bones which I do make bone chimes, fair trade least around here. Yesurday was really nice,no snow and the sun was out, great time to fire the grill/smoker. If you don’t have one of these get one, they’ll fit in your oven just fine.

    Ever go to a renaissance Festival, example, this is Jenny, Jenny O’Connor of the O’Connor clan, aka the hot violist

    I have, picked up a bad habit which I use out back, I can toss bones over my shoulder towards the bone pit without worry. Since Dog has moved in, things have changed greatly. There’s only that refuses to go with the program, a leg off rack as I was carrying it

    Normally I would toss to bone pit, not with dog here

    Those two birds seen it fall, waiting for the hail Mary that didn’t come, you shoulda heard the screeching, one even flew up an divebombed me. I won’t turn my back on them ever again while eating outside, trust, what trust are you talking about

    Now that we got through poltics, which got me hungry (2nd breakfast time no wonder).

    But I ain’t this hungry
