Chevron can no longer remain profitable in California, where politicians fail to understand the impact of reducing fossil fuels without a reliable alternative. The company has already pulled back hundreds of millions in spending in California over the past two years. Chevron’s Q4 filings proclaimed it needed non-cash write-downs and is expected to report non-cash charges of up to $4 billion.
At this point one must wonder if Governor Gavin Newsom wakes up each day to plot the destruction of California. Newsom announced he was taking over “Big Oil” last year by implementing legislation aimed at price gouging.
Adding to the issue, Exxon Mobil also announced it may need to write down its California assets by up to $2.6 billion. “While the Corporation is progressing efforts to enable a restart of production, continuing challenges in the state regulatory environment have impeded progress in restoring operations,” said Exxon. The company expects Q4 earnings to decline by ~$800 million compared to Q3, along with a $1.7 billion drop in industry margins.
Companies as large as Chevron or Exxon Mobil cannot simply pack up and move to another state. Instead, companies are downsizing operations in California and rejecting new projects. California is operating at a $68 billion deficit and cannot afford to lose more business. This will impact gas prices throughout the nation, not just in California. It is not the oil companies but the GOVERNMENT that is price gouging the people through regulations and taxation.

QUESTION: Marty: You have mentioned that Trudeau’s freezing of accounts of anyone who donated to the Truckers was a test run for CBDCs. Do you think this is the end goal to control 100% of our lives?
GD
ANSWER: Hopefully, this will become a Presidential campaign issue. But they are desperate to stop Trump. Congress, including the traitors pretending to be Republicans, passed legislation that NO president can withdraw the US from NATO. This will enable the Neocons to start war BEFORE the 2024 election, and this legislation is to usurp the power of the president, assuming it might be Trump to make it so that he cannot exit World War III. Every politician who voted for that legislation should be thrown out of office in 2024 – PERIOD!
That said, the CBDCs are intended to control our social behavior. This transforms society into a digital prison, which is why the Founding Fathers outlawed Direct Taxation. The rally to Marx at the end of the 19th century led to the introduction of the Income Tax in 1913, and they swore they were going only after the trich. By World War II, they introduced the Payroll Tax because Roosevelt’s Marxist agenda was to include Social Security, and we, of course, had to be FORCED to save for our own future. That became a slush fund that was restricted to buying only government debt to fund this Marxist agenda.
You are being imprisoned with every piece of legislation, like reporting $600 transactions through various cash apps. You have lost ALL your LIBERTY – you don’t know it yet. They could simply create some nonsense and prevent you from donating to Trump or RFK and just make up some nonsense charge. The January 6th had unmarked buses filled with federal agents dressed as MAGA supporters before anyone showed up to stage the event so they could charge Trump and use the 14th Amendment to prevent him from gaining the White House. The Democrats refused to let RFK in, and Biden refused to give him Secret Service protection. In Florida, they tried to remove any contender from the ballot to challenge Biden. This is all about creating war. They let the border open to allow terrorists in so they can declare Martial Law and restrict everyone’s movement. All FREEDOM has been lost!
What Trudeau did in Canada permitted the bypassing of due process of law, which is the foundation of a free society. Wake up! Digitization of the monetary system will allow them to totally kill all dissent. There will be NOTHING left standing. This is what 2032 is all about. We are the ants beneath their feet. Anyone who thinks they care at all about us is an absolute fool.
We cannot stop it. This is NECESSARY for political change. This is them fighting to retain power when they fully understand that this monetary system is collapsing. This is not going to be this Great Taking. That would be an instantaneous revolution. They are not that stupid for even the army would rise up against them. This is about total control leaving you with your trinkets.
As this is rolled out, ONLY then will it open the eyes of the masses. Unfortunately, this is also why movements like Transgender, Black Lives Matter, you name it, are all about dividing the people. They MUST keep the people divided and fighting among themselves so they do not unite against the government, where the common denominator is FREEDOM.
It was Julius Caesar who said – Divide and conquer. Hitler attacked the Jews BECAUSE they were the bankers, and he needed to blame the hyperinflation on the bankers. He divided the people and then came – Papers, please! That is precisely what they are doing to us with CBDCs. This is the purpose of Gates’ UN-organized digital IDs. To prevent freedom of movement. Digital IDs to vaccine passports are all designed to prevent movement. Europe, as of January 1, 2025, will require visas from Americans to visit, and they will apply your social credit score to determine if you are eligible. Still, they intend to start World War III before that, creating an external distraction to divert people from the loss of liberty. This is the government’s objective- the enemy of freedom – as always, no matter what century or culture to look at.

The Democrats have not only schemed to try to prevent Trump from being on any ballot, but they have effectively forced RFK out of the Democratic Party. They have even been trying to block any other Democrat from being on any ballot. This is in-you-face anti-Democracy. The Neocons have the Democrats as their puppet, the same as the silver miners who held the grip on the Democrats that led our nation into bankruptcy by 1896, known as the Silver Democrats.
The United States is now in the Decline & Fall phase. The 2024 election will be the turning point, and we are going to witness the rise of civil unrest, for NOBODY will now believe in winning. The Democrats are keeping the border open, handing illegal aliens over $2,000 per month and sneaking them voter registrations. They intend to slip an executive order under Biden’s nose who will sign whatever is there this time granting all the millions of illegal aliens citizenship so they can keep the Democrats in power while they then extract taxes from the rest of the people who work to keep fund the corruption in Ukraine and the majority of these illegal aliens who have no skills to even work.
This is not about what is good for the people or the country – this is about retaining power. Even the support for the climate crazies in Germany has collapsed to just 7% for the Green Party. This entire climate change agenda is really about reducing the population. They are deliberately attacking farmers to reduce the food supply. In Canada, their euthanasia program has been expanding rapidly as they are now killing hundreds per week, and this is now approaching 5% of all deaths – up 31.2% over 2021. This is the WEF agenda and Gates’ father’s entire scheme behind Planned Parenthood. Even Justice Ginsberg said that Row v Wade had nothing to do with women’s rights – it was about eugenics.
NOTHING IS EVER WHAT IT SEEMS!
We are viewed as the stupid vermin and they have decided there are too many of us and we should not even have a right to vote.

Canada has announced a plan to use a cap-and-trade system to impose greenhouse gas emission limits on its oil and gas industry. Under the “draft framework,” Canada will issue emissions allowances to oil and gas producers, which will be capped at levels between 35% and 38% below 2019 levels, beginning in 2030. The government will then continue to lower allowances in stages until the industry reaches net zero by 2050.
Ottawa plans to finish drafting regulations by next year, with a final plan in place by 2026. Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault called the plan “ambitious” but “practical.” “It considers the global demand for oil and gas, and the importance of the sector in Canada’s economy, and sets a limit that is strict, but achievable,” Guilbeault said. This is all part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plan for Canada to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, which he announced during his election in 2021.
Critics state that the timeframe is simply not achievable for the world’s fourth-largest oil producer and fifth-largest natural gas producer. Federal Energy Minister Jonathan Wilkinson admitted that the government is uncertain how they will implement these measures without shutting down production entirely. A failed execution “would essentially make us poorer in Canada and make our American friends or folks in Saudi Arabia or elsewhere richer,” he stated.
Globalists everywhere are making lofty pledges on the heels of the COP28 summit. The only rush comes when attempting to meet these arbitrary targets. The only reason governments are targeting 2030 and 2050 is because they were directed to do so by Klaus Schwab and the globalists at the World Economic Forum. It will be interesting to see the final plans for this idea that sacrifices Canada’s economic health for the climate change psyops.

The legal system is clearly trying to absolutely destroy Donald Trump for simply going to Washington to “Drain the Swamp,” which he discovered included both sides. We now have a ruling that is so BIASED against Trump that it has now effectively removed all immunity for anyone in Congress and even prosecutors. All you need to allege now is that any act by any of these pretend representatives or protectors of the people they pulled off was NOT in their official capacity but as a candidate for the next endless re-election term. The average Congressman spends about 60% of their time preparing for the next election as a candidate.
U.S. Circuit Judge Sri Srinivasan, who was NEVER even a judge, was controversially appointed under former President Barack Obama to the position of Chief Judge no less of the DC US Court of Appeals. This biased judge, in trying to destroy Donald Trump, wrote in the ruling:
“In arguing that he is entitled to official-act immunity in the cases before us, President Trump does not dispute that he engaged in his alleged actions up to and on January 6 in his capacity as a candidate. But he thinks that does not matter. Rather, in his view, a president’s speech on matters of public concern is invariably an official function, and he was engaged in that function when he spoke at the January 6 rally and in the leadup to that day. We cannot accept that rationale,”
This decision was unimaginable for any true court decision. Srinivasan went out of his way to make sure Trump could be sued by hundreds of people over January 6th. We should file class action suits against EVERY politician in Washington who voted for mandatory vaccines and loss of jobs for refusing to comply when they received ANY money whatsoever from Pfizer – like Fauci. This so-called judge, who was never a judge before, is outrageous. Back in 2010, the Obama administration nominated Srinivasan to one of two vacancies on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, thinking he was clever because, never being a judge, nobody could review his past rulings. That was unheard of.
The nomination of Srinivasan was rigged, for he was opposed even by Obama supporters since he was only a prosecutor. Then, in June 2012, Obama nominated Srinivasan to the seat on the D.C. Circuit on January 2, 2013. His nomination was returned due to the sine die adjournment of the Senate, meaning it was adjourned without a date to reconvene. Obama resubmitted it the next day.
To twist the law like this to desperately find a way to hold Trump guilty on every possible move has turned the entire rule of law upside down. I now encourage an onslaught of class-action lawsuits should be unleashed on politicians with any connection to Pfizer. Even Judges are no longer immune under this decision if they ruled for political or personal purposes and not in their official capacity. Any judge who ruled on COVID and had shares in Pfizer acted illegally. When the computer forecast that the 2024 election will be the death knell to the longevity of the United States, NEVER in my wildest imagination would I have ever guessed that the rule of law would have collapsed in such a manner.
Our Computer Projected that the 2024 election will NEVER be accepted by either side.
For a judge to move from the district court to the Court of Appeals, he typically must be 65.
Srinivasan was previously NEVER a judge but is also 56 years old today and was in his 40s when appointed.

QUESTION: Your curiosity has traveled down so many paths, and you are quite unique in your diverse knowledge and experience. I am curious myself about your comment that our legal system has crumbled. As a legal scholar among your many talents, you mentioned that we should have taken the advice of Ben Franklin in creating our legal system but did not. Could you elaborate on why there are no longer fair trials and why this is the final straw before a nation collapses?
EW
ANSWER: In the English legal system, there was the King’s Bench, which followed the law, and then there was the Queen’s Bench, which exercised “equity” for sometimes imposing the law strictly was unjust. Take the case where an 18-year-old boy has been prosecuted for child molesting a 17-year-old girlfriend because her father pressed charges. After all, he did not like his daughter dating that boy. Under the law, someone under 18 is supposed to be incapable of understanding anything and thus cannot consent to sex – but they could change their sex or be vaccinated without parents ever knowing.
This was an abuse of law. Many could be prosecuted for that crime if a senior in high school dated a freshman. It is what you would call “inequitable,” and some countries have defined that as a percentage between the ages. That is far more reasonable than this arbitrary line of being 18.
This concept of “equity” goes back to ancient Roman times. The image was Aequitas pictured holding the scales in one hand and a cornucopia in the other. However, Thrasymachus observed that there is no justice, for it will always be defined as the self-interest of those in power. Just look at the people imprisoned for being escorted into the Capitol Building on January 6th. It was orchestrated and instigated by the Deep State so that they could try to use the 14th Amendment to prevent Trump from ever holding office again.
They rigged the 2020 election, and that is something the CIA has done in other countries all the time, and the former head of the CIA has admitted doing so on FOX News. I was asked to invest $10 billion into Russia for the 2000 election to be rigged to take over Russia. On a rumor that someone sold the market to undermine the Republicans during the Great Depression, Hoover launched investigations that turned up nothing. Still, they created the Securities & Exchange Commission anyhow. As Herbert Hoover wrote in his memoirs, apologizing for those investigations:
“Sometimes when a government is enraged, it burns down the barn to get the rat.”
There is no rule of law. It is always the will of those in power – nothing more. Even Charles Dickens has written about how corrupt the legal system had become back in 1853. Dickens wrote in Chapter I of his famous novel Bleak House, “In Chancery,”
“Suffer any wrong that can be done to you rather than come here!”
Indeed, the current state of American federal courts has once again reached its lowest point, completing the revolution of the wheel of political fortune. This desperate attempt to prevent Trump from being elected is destroying the very foundation of law, and people who even hate Trump should be very concerned. Once they do this to Trump, they set the precedent and will do it to whomever they do not want to run. The very idea of a democratic system has crumbled to dust. They should fight Trump at the polls, not orchestrate fake insurrections, and try every scheme possible to stop him using laws that have never been applied to anyone else in such a manner.
Fauci was using a private email so his shenanigans would not be discovered under the Freedom of Information Act. Guess what? That is why Hillary has a private server – to hide what she was doing from being discovered. Look at Pelosi. How many millions did her husband make from stock trades on inside information that would cause anyone else to be in jail for 20 years? If I had my mother buy stock in a company I was advising on a takeover, that would have been illegal. The same rules do not apply to politicians.
The Framers of the Constitution had a different understanding of the essential requirement to be a “disinterested ” person. As Gordon S. Wood in his Revolutionary Characters points out:
“[Disintereste d [i] s being ‘superior t o regard t o privat e advantage not influence d by private profit, ‘ and that was what the founders meant by the term. We today have lost most of this earlier meaning. Even educated people now use disinterested as a synonym for uninterested, meaning ‘indifferent or unconcerned.’ It is almost as if we cannot quite imagine someone who is capable of rising above a pecuniary interest and being unselfish or impartial where an interest might be present.” Revolutionary Characters, Gordon S Wood, p16, The Penguin Press
Even Ben Franklin was not truly respected until he retired from private enterprise to become a “disinterested ” man of dignity. The loose manner in which we allow those in Government to operate is astonishing. Today, government prosecuting attorneys are for sale. All the prosecutors filing against Trump follow their careers, and they will use Trump as their business card for a big-paying job afterward. Prosecutors can be hired by those they are supposed to preside over, who provide lucrative jobs to former prosecutors. They cannot be “disinterested” in the meaning that founded this nation. This allows the big firms who now need bailouts to engage in risky business with no fear of prosecution or even regulation that will ever interfere with their business operation. Those same sources of jobs can also be used to create investigations and prosecutions of competitors. The sad result is the complete collapse of the integrity of the financial markets, for there is no truly “disinterested ” regulation.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) wrote one of his most famous lines in Henry VI. To put it into context, you were not allowed to have lawyers in those days. The only “lawyers” were the prosecutors of the king. Thus, Shakespeare was commenting on the sad state of prosecutors also exercising their own self-interest to further their careers back then.
Judges are there for life because Edward I (1272-1307) of England fired all the judges because they ruled against him. If the king did not win, then the judge was fired.
Ben Franklin recommended that the American Bar Association make appointments to the Supreme Court, not politicians. Ben Franklin wanted to create a legal system based upon the Scottish model where lawyers and not politicians nominated judges. He lost that argument, and we have been paying dearly ever since.
Most people assume that the Framers of the Constitution relied on the English judicial system. On the contrary, the Scottish judicial system was necessary, although it remains overlooked today. The Scottish system was part of the model for the Framing of Article III in crafting the Judiciary. Unlike the English system of overlapping and primarily original jurisdiction with Chancery (Equity) and the King’s Bench (law), the Scottish judiciary featured a hierarchical, appellate-style judiciary, with one supreme civil court sitting at the top and an array of inferior courts of original jurisdiction below.
Our greatest mistake was the merger of Chancery (Queen’s Bench) and Law (King’s Bench) in American courts. This allows the judges to circumvent the law and deny equal protection of the law at will. So, they can prosecute Trump for a novel theory that was never applied or intended when the law was written. They shift the burden to prove it is unconstitutional to the citizen, and the expense to vindicate your rights becomes impossible, so the state will always win by default. Court-appointed lawyers lose 99% of their cases because to get that job, the government must win. They have NEVER defended a citizen that I have ever known or witnessed. They are beholding to the state for employment and will NEVER bite the hand that feeds them.
Our legal system has collapsed entirely. The sculpture of Jens Galchiot in Denmark of Fat Justice on the shoulders of a starving African man is truly the state of affairs for all of us. There is no rule of law to protect us anymore. The government has stacked the courts with former prosecutors who rule in favor of the government, making the conviction rate in the USA now approaching 99%. Worse still, the government can do as it likes, and you must go to court to say – hey! I have constitutional rights! Good luck.
Jeffrey Epstein (1953– August 10, 2019) was killed. My lawyer warned me to be careful, for I was a target to be killed. I was always told to turn on the light before I entered my cell because they would put baby oil in the bulb, and when you turn it on, you will burn to death and cannot escape. I was attacked and presumed I would die. But to their dismay, I came out of the coma and survived. On July 25th, 2019, I wrote that Epstein would be killed and never be allowed to go to trial. Any case that exposes the depths of the Deep State will NEVER be allowed to go to trial – NEVER! The targets typically hang themselves or are killed in some fight by an inmate.
This is the simple reality of our legal system. There is no rule of law anymore.
The government uses the law to persecute those they disagree with.
John Stuart Mill wrote in his On Liberty in 1859, and nothing has changed.
