I am at American Steward’s Second Annual Conference called Stop 30x30 in Texas, with cowboy hats, boots, and barbecue for lunch. It is a smallish group, with a high IQ and an inferiority complex. They are facing down Leviathan, more money than you can dream of and all the awful police power of the Federal Government. Town councillors, Agriculture Commissioners, legislators, the beautiful Black former Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife under Trump who had us in tears, people from Oklahoma, Oregon, Iowa, South Dakota, Colorado, New Mexico, Montana. All of them feed us, clothe us, make our lives possible.
Most confrontational journalism these days centers in the cities, on gender issues, the vaccine, the lying liars in government at every level, the Big Game in DC, the Great Game in geopolitics, but out here? This is the real game. If these people lose this fight, every generation from now on will be busted down to serf. In every country. If America falls, so does the world. I do not exaggerate. You will have no right of self determination. Every mouthful will be measured and every outbreath taxed. You will be monitored everywhere you go, and you will be mind controlled through your media. You will own nothing. Because right now, it is ALL being taken, acre by acre by acre. One billion acres by 2030. Another by 2050.
It will take me a few days to absorb what I’m learning so in the meantime, here is an interview with me released earlier this week, about the state of tyranny so far. The full interview is on Rumble, the truncated (pre-censored) on Youtube.

As always, Welcome to Absurdistan is reader-supported. I seem to be the only mainstream (former mainstream) journalist covering this story, and after this weekend, I feel a new urgency. I have no publisher paying me or funding my research. Please consider a paid subscription. I charge as little as Substack allows, because there are so many other great writers to support as well.
Too many, even good thinkers on the right, think of the AGW agenda as a tax grab - via energy taxes. It isn’t. It is a return to feudal times via bureaucratism. BC has Step Code. Every building moving forward has to be at Net Zero or getting there. It is very expensive and likely not doable across the market. Worse, it makes for dark and ugly buildings. The bureaucrats are strangling production. The bureaucracy now is mostly women and gays. And they hate production, which many in those two groups, if left, rightfully associate with hetero masculinity. Victoria was actually pretty good until the last five years or so. The bureaucracy was mostly reasonably practical people you could work with. Slowly but surely though one gatekeeper after another has thrown her roadblocks in the way of activity. If 20 people touch your product it only takes two or three to ruin it. You can and do get caught in an endless loop of being sent back through the channels as someone makes you redo something. It is a mess.
This made my morning on this dreary day. There is no one out there with Elizabeth's depth of knowledge. She gets to the nitty gritty and does it so eloquently and with class. A very unusual individual for whom I am grateful to have found.
