In 2014, California basically decriminalized theft by permitting shoplifters to take what they please, as long as it was under $950. Prop 47, the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act, emboldened criminals to do as they please with no repercussions as they cannot be prosecuted for a felony charge. California does not aggregate robberies, so a criminal could target a store multiple times per week with limited repercussions as long as each robbery yielded under $950.
Republican lawmakers have introduced AB 1599 which would repeal most of Prop 47 and “make crime illegal again.” Republican Assembly member Kevin Kiley, an author of AB 1599, said, “[Prop 47] has essentially legalized theft and open drug use in California, culminating in these unbelievable smash-and-grab robberies.”
Smash and grab robberies have become an organized crime by low-level criminals. “You have people that will go into department stores and they’ll actually have a calculator on them,” Kiley said. “They’ll add up the value of what they’re stealing because they know as long as it’s under $950, they might as well wave at the security camera on the way out. They know there’s going to be no consequence for that.”
Rachel Michelin, president and CEO of California Retailers Association (CRA), noted that San Francisco and Oakland alone have lost$3.6 billion annually to organized retail crime. The National Retail Federation places estimates losses from organized crime at around 0.07% of total sales and believes the CRA is overestimating. Regardless, this is a preventable loss. Governor Gavin Newsom would need to approve of the measure, but has been consistent on his light on crime stance. Newsom has ignored pleas to crackdown on shoplifting, and simply told struggling store owners to use other existing laws to prosecute thieves. Independent store owners would be wise to leave California as the laws in place only protect criminals who have abused Prop 47.
Black Lives Matter (BLM) has become a money-laundering operation. The problematic organization used a catchy slogan to spread hate while the people in charge became millionaires. It recently came to light that the group purchased a mansion in Los Angeles for $6 million in October 2020 with charitable donations. Dyane Pascall, a BLM member with close ties to co-founder Patrisse Cullors, purchased the mansion in cash before transferring the deed to the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation days later.
Pascall simply stated, “I don’t owe you an explanation,” when questioned about the illegal transaction. “This home is not just a home — it’s, like, four structures,” Pascall told the Washington Examiner. “It’s a film studio, sound stage, commercial space, office space. It’s a campus. It’s got 20 parking spaces so people can come and work. It’s not a home per se. It’s an actual campus space for people to work from.” The 6,500 square foot mansion boasts six bedrooms and room for over 20 cars. Is that not a red flag?
Worsening matters, some news agencies are reporting that Dyane Pascall purchased the nearly $6 million mansion days after another BLM member purchased it for nearly half the price. This is not the only mansion that the organization owns under the tax-exempt status that was provided to them in December of 2020. Interesting that self-proclaimed Socialists would be interested in high-end luxury real estate. But as with all Socialists, the problem becomes when they run out of other people’s money.
BLM has become untouchable because people are afraid to be labeled racist. In reality, BLM has caused more harm than good for their own community. Since the left is desperate for voters, they have pandered to this organization and turned a blind eye to the blatant crime. BLM burned down shops and toppled police cars, yet there was never an investigation, and the protests were permitted to continue. The money that was supposed to help uplift those who they believe are systematically oppressed was instead used to make the founders multi-millionaires. California threatened to sue the organization for failing to report its finances, and Amazon removed the organization from its AmazonSmile charity program. The Department of Justice needs to investigate, and the donors should be outraged. Politicians such as Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau needed the BLM organization to create a racial divide and secure the minority vote instead of actually implementing policies that would help their cause.
QUESTION: Dear Martin, After reading many of your blog posts, there appears to be one question you might not have answered. Do the elitists who are trying to control the world truly believe climate change cycles are not natural, but instead are caused by humans? It would seem that any climate theory that doesn’t explain the coming and going of ice ages which our history books told us happened, is an incomplete theory.
H
ANSWER: I think anyone with 10% of a brain can’t believe this climate change is caused by CO2. The climate has always changed and they use data that starts only in 1850 to argue this is all fossil fuels. CO2 is also generated by burning wood and the pollution from diesel and wood is the type that you feel. I lived in London during the 1980s and the buses were all diesel. You had to hold your breath when walking by.
The first clean air act was passed in 535AD by Emperor Justinian I who proclaimed the importance of clean air as a birthright. “By the law of nature these things are common to mankind—the air, running water, the sea.”
People are easily manipulated and those with a fully functioning brain are horrified by the stupidity of people who were told to hate Trump who now refuses to admit that Biden is a disaster because they would be compelled to acknowledge their own malleability to those who still wear masks even driving alone and rushed out to get every vaccine and booster possible. Now they are all about freedom, democracy, and anti-Russia so just kill them all because that is again what they are told.
I do not think that world leaders are that stupid. They are using this climate change for their own agenda. Even Obama and Bull Gates both bought houses on the beach and Obama has now bought a private island in the Caribbean. Hm. So much for their belief in rising sea levels and civilization.
This is all about control – we, the great unwashed. There is absolutely no way the world will end because of CO2 in 7 years. That is absolute nonsense to create fear and obedience. The climate has always changed – it is NEVER the same. Civilization expands during warming periods and it collapses during cold periods. France has had the coldest April since 1947. Yet Macron vows to “get France out of oil, gas, and coal” while Paris is freezing and needs heat. I woke up this morning to 50 degrees here in Florida. Obviously, we have way too many climate change zealots coming to Florida holding Séances for global cooling to save the planet.
Maybe Gates is correct – we just need to thin the herd of all stupidity before we can get our human rights back.

Appearing on ABC’s This Week to give his opinion on the current status of COVID-19, White House medical advisor Anthony Fauci warns the CDC may soon revert back to an indoor mask mandate. This is additionally troublesome, because many people now define themselves by COVID-19.
There are many people who can only identify with other like-minded people fearful of COVID. WATCH:
There are a significant portion of the American public who worship at the altar of COVID theatrics. For them getting booster shots, following the CDC orders and participating in the mask theatrics is a profoundly religious experience that defines who they are in the modern world of pandemic fear.
Observing the behaviors of mask promoters, is almost like watching a livestream of unstable political expression. It truly is one of the most bizarre new realities. Many of the Branch Covidians become mentally and emotionally unstable when they experience contact with a non-mask-wearing person.
Even after all of the ‘scientific evidence’ that shows masks provide no substantive benefit or lowering of infection risk, there are a great many people who cannot fathom not wearing one for the remainder of their lives. The psychological training from two years of massively promoted COVID fear and the drumbeat of worry, has left a large portion of the American people in a permanent state of profound instability.
It is unnerving to realize how many people can be influenced to believe in something that lacks any logic or reason. I’m not sure how long, if ever, this tear in the social fabric will last or take to repair. Many of these COVID consequences have divided people permanently. The full interview is below.

CBS has released their latest YouGov Poll [DATA HERE], again showing the top priorities of the American people are not even on the radar of the American government. The DC beltway disconnect is stark.
Interestingly, the recent survey of Pennsylvania voters done by Reuters, turned up this almost identical priority list, only Rusia/Ukraine did not even appear in the top five. The economy, inflation, gas prices, crime and immigration are the top five issues across the board, in almost every poll.
Russia/Ukraine is a non-existent issue. Yet, that is the actionable priority -with questionable importance for U.S. security interests- for a totally out of touch government and media to focus on. Sending $14 billion to help Ukraine’s border fight, while our borders are crushed with illegal aliens, is a sharp stick in the eye for every American.
Unfortunately, our opinion doesn’t matter, and frustratingly, the people using Biden as a tool to achieve their goals do not have any concern whatsoever about political fallout. Biden is a disposable tool for a program of rapid single-term advancement of the democrat-communist agenda.
Under ordinary circumstances, this level of disapproval would automatically create panic and start a change in policy. However, under their current program, a kamikaze mission to create maximum ‘fundamental change’, the people creating the policy outcomes simply don’t care. Biden is a disposable tool to be thrown on the trash heap of history.
Joe Biden is clueless and entirely irrelevant to the objective. He sits around eating pudding and muttering to himself until called upon to head to the stage set, and literally read what has been written for him. Biden has no clue, other than, (a) he is in complete agreement with the goals, and (b) it takes a lot of pancakes to fill a canoe. I swear, the puppet masters keep putting little girls in his orbit during public appearances just to laugh about it.
These people are sick.
(CBS) Higher prices are leading people to say they’re making cutbacks, especially on more discretionary items like entertainment and travel. (That may, of course, have a wider impact on the economy later.) About half are cutting back on food and groceries, and this is especially the case among those with lower incomes. (read more)

Loretta Mester, the president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, appears on CBS Face the Nation to discuss inflation, the economy and monetary policy. Ms Mester is in a tough place, because she cannot admit the influence of federal monetary policy is far outmatched in the era where Joe Biden energy policy is limiting oil and gas development and creating massive inflation.
Mester does admit the supply chain crisis will extend well into 2023, but blows hopeful unicorn wishes by projecting that price inflation will temper by the end of this year. From the perspective that 20 to 50% price increases on critical goods (housing, food, fuel, energy) are unsustainable in repeated cycles, she is correct; the rate of inflation will lower. However, that’s only because the baseline prices will have increased so high the rate of increase measure falls. WATCH:
A $4 item that gains a $2 increase holds a 50% rate of inflation. The next year that $6 item again has a $2 increase, but the rate of inflation drops to 33%. The price increase is the same, but the rate of inflation drops. That’s what is going to happen in the second half of this year. FUBAR
The White House is doing this on purpose in order to chase their ideological dreams of sustainable energy and climate change. Energy prices underline the entire economy, because oil and gas prices touch everything. Insofar as they continue the war against coal, oil and gasoline, there’s nothing monetary policy can do to combat inflation. The Fed must however, pretend not to know things.
QUESTION: So what do you think of the Supreme Court nominee?
DA
ANSWER: It is a joke. Biden ruled out everyone other than a black woman, which is in itself racist. This is all propaganda. In NYC, I have watched judges. A black judge will typically impose a harder sentence on someone who is black because they view that they have suffered prejudice because of them and the criminal can never claim racism. I saw a Jewish guy sentenced to an extra two years because the Jewish Judge went to the same school that he disgraced. I saw a black defendant who thought he would be treated fairly because he had an all-black jury. They found him guilty of everything because they do not like the young blacks shooting up their neighborhoods. I seriously doubt Justice Thomas would rule in favor of a black man simply because he was black.
To think that putting a black woman on the court will somehow support black women is just absurd. As I have stated before, just because a Republican president appoints a justice does NOT mean they will always rule in favor of Republicans. Justices do not always vote on Party Lines.
King v. Burwell upholding Obamacare was a political decision, not law, and it revealed the stark difference between Chief Justice Roberts, appointed by a Republican, and Justice Scalia, who was also appointed by a Republican.
It was Justice Scalia who spoke the truth. He wrote about Roberts’ decisions:
“… this Court’s two decisions on the Act will surely be remembered through the years. The somersaults of statutory interpretation they have performed (‘penalty’ means tax, ‘further [Medicaid] payments to the State’ means only incremental Medicaid payments to the State, ‘established by the State’ means not established by the State) will be cited by litigants endlessly, to the confusion of honest jurisprudence. And the cases will publish forever the discouraging truth that the Supreme Court of the United States favors some laws over others, and is prepared to do whatever it takes to uphold and assist its favorites.”
This is what Biden is shooting for. Not the rule of law, but twisting the Constitution to achieve his progressive agenda to turn the Constitution inside out. This is when we really need Will Smith to slap people in the face to wake up in Washington as they keep moving to destroy everything that made America great. There is now absolutely NO guarantee of how Justice Jackson will rule. I did find it disturbing for her to say she could not define “woman.” If we cannot define that, then can a guy go into the lady’s room and look at girls in there, claiming he identifies as a woman? Where does this ever end? What’s next? A pedophile can claim he identified as a child and was just playing doctor? There are basic norms that have always existed in society and I fear they are going out the window with the baby and the bathwater. I hope she does not rule with this inanity.

In Chapter 1, sub-section 1.4 of the 2022 Canadian budget, there is a rather remarkable new rule that bans foreign ownership and investment in housing for a period of two years. [LINK HERE]
“To make sure that housing is owned by Canadians instead of foreign investors, Budget 2022 announces the government’s intention to propose restrictions that would prohibit foreign commercial enterprises and people who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents from acquiring non- recreational, residential property in Canada for a period of two years.”
Two points about this issue. First, can you imagine the media outcry if a conservative prime minister would ever make such a proposal? Quite a leftist change from the previous mantra “diversity is our strength”?
Second, considering the issue of foreign investment that creates housing, there is a likelihood this could backfire. The new position of Canada will certainly put more upward pressure on the U.S. housing market. Every action tends to have an equal and opposite reaction. It will be interesting to follow this and see where it leads.
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government announced Thursday it will ban foreign investors from buying homes in Canada for two years in a bid to cool off a hot housing market.
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland took a number of measures to tamp down speculation and demand amid record home prices in announcing the federal budget for the year.
The government announced a two-year ban on foreign home buying as well as higher taxes for people who sell their home within a year, though both measures include multiple exceptions including for permanent residents and foreign students. (read more)
Imagine the apoplexy if Donald Trump made such a nationalistic move.
As with most things leftist, European, political and currently Canadian, the ideologues are all about advancing globalism until some consequence reaches their doorstep. Then suddenly changes need to be made and protectionist programs like this new 2022 housing rule are triggered. Can you think of something more economically nationalist than this rule?
Alas, we beat the dead equine. In order for entrenched left-wing ideologues to continue advancing their insane ideology, they must pretend not to know things.
People are leaving Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and were moving to Parlar. Google and Apple removed the Parlar APP and then Amazon kicked then off of AWS. This is a complete purge going on of all conservatives. We are in the midst of nothing short of a real live Russian version of a revolution. Cheer up – you get to see what it was like to live history in a major confrontation between left and right. But make no mistake about it, the super-rich remains in power just behind the curtain. They own the press and social media while they use the virus to prevent people from gathering or organizing. It is their way or no way. Their motto: Resistance is Futile!
China has bluntly warned that it would take strong measures if U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan. They have warned that such a visit would severely impact Chinese-U.S. relations. There is a strategy here to undermine BOTH Russia and China. Their three obstacles were Trump, Putin, and Xi. Trump was removed and now they are turning to Russia and China. They need to conquer both to reach their goal of a New World Order which they have boldly put forth at the 2022 World Government Summit.
Let me make this VERY clear. The Western Keynesian Economic Model is collapsing. Schwab’s claim that “You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy” is not a communist sales pitch. It is far more serious than that. Because the European Central Bank moved to negative interest rates back in 2014 and there has been NO stimulation ever achieved, they have kept European governments on life-support and wiped out all the pension funds that by law had to hold a portion of government bonds.
Governments will have NO choice but to default but if they do so, millions will be storming their castles with pitchforks. Schwab is pulling the LIFE Insurance scam. They sell fire insurance, accident insurance, flood insurance, and earthquake insurance, but they could not sell DEATH insurance so they then called it LIFE instead. Schwab is clever in saying we will eliminate all your debt makes it sound they are doing this for you when in fact they need to default.
These people are manufacturing WAR for two purposes: (1) they need war to impose more restrictions from digital currencies to IDs claiming vaccines, and (2) they actually think they can force Russia and China to comply with their Great Reset including climate change if not surrender sovereignty to the United Nations.
Let us make no mistake here, the Neocons have laid out the plan of using Ukraine to poke the Bear for two reasons. First, they really do think they can conquer Russia and they know that Putin is NOT the madman and is far more reasonable. They are counting on that assuming he will NOT turn to nuclear weapons and they will take over Russia and then turn on China. Second, this is also about ending energy flowing from Russia to Europe for the pipelines flow through Ukraine.
At the Dubai 2022 World Government Summit, they included a panel discussion that included what energy would look like POST-Ukraine Crisis. They also had a panel entitled: Is the World Ready for a Future Beyond Oil? This is all intentional and we must understand that they are manufacturing war and this is all about creating the vision of a New World Order and they really do want to push the world into chaos. The plan is that then the United Nations will appear to be the Great Peace Maker to save humanity. But the herd is culled, tagged, and controlled. We all have our digital IDs, and there is no currency other than a government-controlled digital currency so they can eliminate all crime and any underground economy.
So while Biden is screaming this is a battle between Democracy & Authoritarianism, again it is propaganda for the end goal here is to eliminate our right to vote because they see us as TOO stupid to vote. The fact this is all bullshit since there is no democracy – we all live in a Republic with no right to vote on anything other than a person pretending to represent the people. This New World Order will eliminate any pretense of Democracy and we will not even have Constitutional Rights. War is needed to end our forms of human rights and Germany is about to pass MANDATORY vaccines for anyone 60 or older or you will be starved to death unable to ever leave your home – just die thank you!
So now Pelosi was to go to Taiwan and stir up revolution as John McCain did in Ukraine promising America stands behind them. She was to deliver the same speech that Americans will defend Taiwan against China. They want another Proxy War to start now against China as Pelosi is crossing into the camp of Neocons like Hillary.
