America (and Canada) Need ALL Their Land Back In Order to Flourish

Who owns it? Maybe you won't be surprised.

Temp’s Sovereign Wealth Fund seems like a good idea, depending on who controls it. Trump says the U.S. will, but does that devolve to bureaucrats? Because …. really? When I say America here, I include Canada (as does every European btw), and Canada is interesting in this because the House of Windsor, ie that bonkers brutalist King Charles, who would have us all living off solar and bugs, owns what, 90% of the country?

Oh that’s just a formality, they say. Sure buddy, it’s a formality that allows Charles’ agents, ie conservation bureaucrats and theoretically-funded-by-us NGOs to say what, when and how, each and every day, to any farmer, rancher, developer or oil man in the nation. Why are we so pathetic? We can’t do anything without a sucker-bureaucrat supervising every move. Before I was 30 I started three small businesses, one of which was in New York City and lasted 15 years on the structure I built. When I moved back home to this spectacular place, over the years, I’ve thought of several that would use the distinct and sweet culture of the place, employ people, and throw some badly needed light into the lives of our community; living here feels somewhat like living under the giant wobbly butt of a very fat and very empowered woman. We gasp for the breath of life. I didn’t take the first step….because who needs all that pain?

Down south, it’s more Rothchildy. Now when you say that family’s name you instantly enter banker paranoid fantasy territory. But two of the smartest people I know were Rothschild adjacent: one - a wicked flirt of a beauty - used to travel to operas with Jacob on his plane, and the other travelled the world privatizing things for his company and ended up Policy Chief for the Conservative Party (UK). Were they deluded? Possible, I admit, extreme wealth is the ultimate seduction. In any case, it is hard for me to see the family as Lizards, though I have no trouble with Charles. I’ve met the man, he’s a vain creepy vain fool of an individual and entirely vulnerable to the spectacular fraud which is climate change.

So to me, right now, the Rothschilds are more an exemplar of how Big Big Money behaves. And that is very very Lizardy. Or Reptilian. Not Human. When I use the term Rothschild, I mean also BlackRock, Larry Fink, Gates, the European families, the Black Nobility, the Windsors, etc.

It is the nature of Big Money to loot. To steal from the weak. It’s almost impossible for it to act ethically. It takes on a life of its own, and just….steals. ‘Cause at a certain level, it becomes so so so easy. And if you don’t, someone else will and you will fall off the heights, which are extremely pleasant as you can imagine.

Therefore, for the past thirty years, they have paid to suppress economic activity across America - the United States and Canada - in order to ripen an investment in something called, um….like a Sovereign Wealth Fund. Or Natural Asset Corporation.

What the thousands of very recent subscribers to Absurdistan probably don’t know is that, for the past 20 years, I’ve been investigating and writing about the excrescence that is the environmental movement. For those new here, I live in a node of the movement, right up against its dire dire dire results. To prove I’m not a marauder, I live in a small forest I’ve covenanted in perpetuity, and built a green house. We use geothermal heat, and have green roofs. But here, and everywhere in the United States, we wrestle with something called the Environmental Iron Triangle of Bureaucrat/Legislator/NGO. The NGOs call the shots and the bureaucrats and legislators jump.

represents the flood, the torrent of $$ from off-shore oligarchs bent on stealing America’s resources

This is how it works.

What the left has done is create something they call ‘participatory democracy’, which means that activists, paid by NGOs, fight any and all economic activity in every jurisdiction to the point where anyone with a brain says, like I did, “Why bother?” This is why and how the activists live, on little bits of money doled out by NGOs and every level of government from every department (even libraries) and at every conceivable level: municipal, regional, state or provincial, and federal. So in fact, whether through the foregone taxes or direct taxes, we pay for these “participating democrats”, who are actually activists. And they hate commercial activity. They grudgingly consent we need some. But as little as possible.

No one else shows up at the meetings. It is the participating democrats, all paid by us, and no one else. Because everyone else has a job. And a family. And is busy. And trusting. And the levers of government are enormously complex and hard to decipher, which is deliberate. So the bureaucrats and legislators shrug and consent to whatever stupid anti-scientific thing they want. These same people, all paid by us, show up at the legislatures. I stood and watched them for several hours at the State Legislature in Olympia, Washington. Again, no one else shows up. We paid them to shut us down.

The organizations that Tides funds. Tides funders are anonymous.

This is in every state, every province. Every single one. These are the people the LA police corralled in an underpass, protesting deportation of violent criminals. The funders were behind the Pussy Hat march. They funded the workers behind the stolen election. And of course, behind the fiery “Summer of Love” before the stolen election. Every single left-of-center protest is paid for by the taxpayers and plutocrats. And when I say paid for, I mean PAID. Paychecks, cash under the table. All the grumpy basement dwellers, the marginals with an education, the resentful and failed, get paid under the table to disrupt, to hurt, to prevent. Of course more of them are created every day as economic activity slides then slides some more.

this is the third level of the financial flows - represents tens, if not hundreds of thousands of NGO funded activists’ payments.

These activists are the single most powerful impediment to economic growth outside the city centres, and many times within. Hence all that promise goes unfulfilled and you end up in a place, duplicated thousands and thousands of times across America, of the depressed, the elderly, lost decades and promise lying waiting.

But who runs them?

The very very rich. It’s a competition as to who can build the biggest army of deluded activists to prevent America from developing, so they can swoop in and buy it at a fire sale. I’ve written about it many times before, and Jay Valentine at Fractal has done astonishing work that visualizes the depth of their penetration into our lives.

That’s why people hate the Rothschilds. Because that is what they do. And again, when I say ‘the Rothschilds’, I mean all the ‘families’, the mega-mega rich who cruise the world looking for acquisitions, so they can collect more rent from their slaves, us. I laugh when everyone says that Elon is the richest man alive. Not even close. Some of those European families are an order of magnitude richer and they live for fire sales. Those people paid for America’s decline — so they could buy us out.

So this is the worry going forward. Do Trump and his team sell off America to participants in a Sovereign Wealth Fund? Or does control of the land go to the bureaucrats who already ruined us? Or does it go to the super rich hiding behind a proliferation of fancy benevolent-sounding names? Or do our resources get returned to us? The Sovereign Wealth Fund sounds an awful like the Natural Asset Companies promoted by the New York Stock Exchange and the SEC in the months before the election. That cute little trick meant the monetizing of America’s public lands, waters, minerals and selling them.

So who would buy them?

Yeah.

So here’s my suggestion from watching decades of the grinding poverty experienced by my fellow citizens when they should have been living well, happily, effulgently.

First get rid of the “participating democrats” or NGO-paid activists. Strip them of money. Audit their science. For a couple of painful math-y years, I went through environmental “science” and process with engineers and biologists. It’s all lies. It is science by politics, it is unmitigated crap. It has been used to steal our futures, and it has done so.

Then, actually return the control of land, water and minerals to the people, the states, the provinces, the regions, the counties and the townships. Let us decide. Let us take the bids, let us build the businesses. It is what everyone wants. Without the “participating democrats” being paid to create harm and chaos the largest plurality of us want growth. Good growth that considers local culture. THAT LAND IS OURS ANYWAY, not Trump’s or Larry Fink’s to sell off. Local ownership and control of resources is why America soared so high in the 19th century. It took two world wars to slow us down.

We are still living off the 100 year high that ended in 1914. That impetus, the energy, the freeing of millions to act independently, to create, to flourish, created searing envy around the world, created that marvel that is America. The worst people in the world - the conscience-less Big Big Money people - got together in a club and stole it.

I don’t know how to structure that return of wealth. But if you want America to grow and thrive and light up the universe again, that land, those resources, have to be returned to the people. Individual property rights are fundamental. It is the without which. Without that wealth the geniuses we need will not be born and flourish. The families will not form. The towns will not light up. The culture, genuine culture, not disgusting Hollywood culture, will not be born.

But, with that, the Trump Golden Age will inspire the world.
