Summary: HJR18 (House Joint Resolution 18) is a simple, one-sentence bill to end the Oregon governor’s abuse of power and terminate her covid emergency powers.
Take Action Briefing
What: Oregon is suffering under their governor’s abuse of power. The Oregon constitution clearly limits the power of the governor, who must seek the approval of the legislature. But she has ignore them for 14 months. It’s time to end this. Who: All Oregonians.Oregon businesses. Churches. Every Oregonian is impacted by this. But out of state people can certainly weigh in to say how well your state is doing without these constant lockdowns. How: Take action right now to email the members (addresses below) of Oregon’s House Committee on Rules, and urge them to bring HJR 18 to the floor. A simple, one-sentence resolution to end the governor’s self-declared emergency powers. When: Now, now, now! Why: States like Texas and Florida have ended their lockdowns, even mask mandates. All businesses are open. Did Texas and Florida die? Did they see a huge uptick in covid cases? No! Just the opposite. Their cases went down by 70%. Oregon businesses are struggling and they need your help!
Take Action! Pass HJR18 and Terminate the Covid “Emergency”
As mentioned during the May 1st, 2021 I Spy Radio Show, a joint resolution, HJR18, is a simple sentence that reads, “Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of Oregon: Pursuant to ORS 401.204, the state of emergency declared by the Governor in Executive Order 20-03 on March 8, 2020, relating to the COVID-19 outbreak in Oregon, is terminated.” Short. Simple. To the point.
HJR 18 is currently in the House Committee on Rules. We urge you to copy and past the email addresses below, and ask they bring it to the floor. Be polite and respectful. But be strong. It can be as simple as “Please support HJR 18 and bring it to the floor.” It’s time to end the endless emergency orders.
Show Summary: The first duty of government is to protect people. That’s why defending police and law enforcement is so important. But a new book, The Obama Gang, points to an Obama sabotage — a coordinated effort to undermine police in America. Here in Oregon, the right to defend yourself is always under attack. Did Republicans sell out? Literally?
URGENT: Be sure to contact the Oregon House Committee on Rules members and urge them to bring HJR18 to the floor. HJR 18 would end the governor’s emergency orders. See list of emails below.

Original Air Dates: May 1st & 2nd, 2021 | Steve Pomper & Rob Taylor
This Week: How many times have you watched that scary movie where somebody hears a noise, and as the stairs creak, they head downstairs in the dark while you scream at them, “Are you crazy?! Turn on the light!” Or think, “There’s no way I’d do that without a gun!”
That pretty much sums up how Oregon’s legislature, and many blue states, are treating its citizens. Because asking citizens to keep guns locked up, or not allowing law enforcement to do its job, feels like you’re living unprotected in that creaking and dark house.
With the good guys maybe not arriving in time.
Defend yourself? Good luck with that
On this week’s show, we take a look at how a society breaks down, and tyranny becomes the rule of law. The stressors our police face become not only worrisome but dangerous as they drop their shields and find another way of life. It’s happening right now in real time with hundreds of cops fleeing the large cities they were trying to protect — only to be denied the tools, or political support, they needed to get the job done.
And at a time when police are hamstrung, in Oregon politicians are making it harder for people to protect themselves in the absence of law enforcement. New, tyrannical gun laws have been passed force law-abiding citizens to lock guns up all in name of “making you safer.” Hint: locking up guns makes criminals safer.
The Obama Gang: New Book Points to Obama Sabotage
First up, we talk with retired Seattle police officer and author of five books, Steve Pomper. Mr. Pomper is author of the recently released, The Obama Gang.
We discuss his work as an officer and why he chose to leave the Seattle police. And what he feels will happen as police forces continue to shrink in size and authority.
You’ll also hear how Barack Obama (through his post-presidency foundation), assembled, launched, and wages the new assault on American law enforcement. If it sounds like sabotage, it’s because it is.
In Oregon, we lock up our businesses. And our guns.
Then Oregon’s own, Rob Taylor, joins us talking about what has happened to our 2nd Amendment rights during this year’s Oregon’s legislature, and why. First, we find out the devastating affects Governor Kate’s lock down orders have already had on small towns. And what will the new round of lock downs have? And just where are the leaders who should be defending their citizens?
Did Oregon Republicans Sell Out on Gun Rights?
A new bill, SB554, passed that requires ALL guns to be locked up. The bill makes criminals of everyday Oregonians who want their guns at the ready should an actual criminal decide their house looks ripe for the plucking. Guess who in that scenario does not have their gun locked up?
While Republicans (and Democrats) have successfully used walking out in the past to deny quorum over important bills, for some reason, the Republicans stayed and allowed SB554 to pass. They didn’t vote for it, but they didn’t stop it. What gives?
Could it be that Oregon Republican legislators were “bought off”…? Oregon voters may not be too happy to hear what happened and why. And one Senator in particular may bear the brunt of it.
Take Action! End the Covid “Emergency”

Original Air Dates: Apr 17 & 18, 2021 | Burgess Owens & Scott Shepard
This Week: Two years ago, we experienced what life is supposed to be like. During the Obama years, we had to do so by living vicariously through our history books. We dreamed about such times as the Reagan years—while living through Obama, who worked hard to shackle us to a program where government owned us called Obamacare. It was an attempt by big government to literally control our very breathing.
Because when you give the government control over your health, you give them permission to run all aspects of your life. Get it now?
But then Trump rode in swinging, to stop government overreach through the alphabet soup of EPA, DHS, and even the FBI and DOJ. Trump knew that he had to immediately start to downsize, restrict, or expose them and their reach into our lives.
Biden: Obama II
But with the disastrous 2020 elections over, along came Obama II — or at least that’s who Biden hopes to be. So sequestered from the people he is supposed to serve, it’s hard to say if he has an original thought in his head.\
Already admitting he talks to Obama “frequently,” Biden’s far-left ideology and moves toward it are enormous. But even Obama never said, as Joe just did referring to the 2nd Amendment, that “No Amendment is absolute.” Wow.
Burgess Owens: Insider Look at Congress
This week we dive into the heart of where much of the far-left ideology is attempting to move the US: an era of new racism, away from free elections, free markets, and free thinking. First up, we talk with Congressman Burgess Owens. A man who has fought tirelessly for years for the Black community to help them become inspired and free themselves from Democrat programs that hold them back.
It was something that Trump was also becoming successful at, and Blacks began to move toward a more conservative approach.We saw a huge uptick in Blacks voting for Republicans. Is that why the Left is frothing at the mouth to introduce a new era of racism? To turn all races against one another and turn everyone against Whites? That’s the Left’s new racism. We’re all united in hating Whites.
How and what are Republicans doing in Congress and what he expects to see in 2022. We ask where are the republican attempts to derail the extremist democrats? Will they pull any democrat congressmen to the republican side?
And we discuss Pelosi’s backing off of the Far Left’s court packing and why she backed off. But we start off with a recent cartoon, in a Utah newspaper owned by Huntsman’s brother, that depicts Burgess Owens as a racist.
And speaking of racism, we talk about Biden’s racist programs to fight racism — the $4 billion Biden plans, to give to minorities to pay off their farm loans. But not one penny to help White farmers.
Corporate Wokeness: Blackmail States for Politics?
Then we welcome back Scott Shepard, who happens to be an attorney, and discusses why court packing is so wrong and how it will backfire big time for the Far Left.
You may remember that Scott’s Free Enterprise Project confronts big business at shareholder meetings about their embrace of Leftist ideology. Now, big business is going even further. No longer just virtue signaling but going so far as activism—corporate wokeness—attacking states like Georgia who are trying to pass voter integrity laws and stop the cheating. Now, big business seems to want to step into the role of ruling us rather than running a business. Do they see a time that government won’t be necessary because they can just take over? And are free markets a problem in trying to hold them back, before they become too big to stop?
Covid Passports
Governors in democrat-run states like NY and Calif., and even the Biden administration are eyeing covid passports. And, just recently, the EU announced they will allow U.S. visitors if they have a valid vaccine passport.
A vaccine passport is an official confirmation that you must show you’ve had the vaccine before allowed into certain venues or on planes or other transportation. This is a huge privacy invasion but more importantly, its the slippery slope that heads us toward China’s social credit score system, which allows you access — or not — depending on your obedience to the state.
In other words, “Papers, please!” Straight out of Soviet Russia.
Don’t miss a fascinating discussion that will help you sort out this craziness.

Show Summary: A radical shift is underway as democrats shove America away from reality-based economics towards an economy where normal monetary policy is abandoned, taxes are imposed on the “undesirables”, and public monies are used to reward themselves and their allies. Think it’s not possible? It’s already underway. Find out what’s coming.

Original Air Dates: Apr 10th & 11th, 2021 | Carl Wilson & Jonathan Williams
This Week: When we were kids it was exciting to be handed a quarter thinking about how and where to spend it. And we learned that a quarter was wonderful, but a dollar was even better. Except maybe those lessons of having and handling money are being lost in the age of debit cards, or electronic purchases. Because the tangible feel of money and its worth is somehow getting lost. A coin or a dollar in the hand reminds a child of its temporary nature, and once spent it’s gone—versus money “out there” in the cloud somewhere, where there’s always more of it.
Basic economics are under attack.
Non-Reality-Based Economics
As politicians supposedly grapple with debt, it is somehow made mystical in the world of zeros and ones with digital accounts. Not surprising when computer modeling and predictions take over reality. But is there a point of reckoning that will be no longer be possible to bury or ignore? Basic economic principles would say yes.
This week, we work to uncover those economic principles that so many Left-leaning politicians wish us not to examine. (Especially in an AOC world where if the computer doesn’t say it, then it’s not so.) It is becoming painfully obvious that those in charge of America’s economics, and raising and spending the public’s money have no grounding in basic economics or business.
Central Assessment
We start off with Carl Wilson, former Oregon state representative, and owner of KAJO, out of Grants Pass, that airs I Spy. We discuss the new threat to local radio stations as Oregon decided to shift them into a new taxing scheme called “central assessment.”
To date, Oregon is the only state imposing this new taxing methodology on local radio stations. Instead of local counties determining their taxes, now a state central system will determine what their assessed value is. This potentially opens the door to a punitive system that large communications operations might be able to absorb, while hurting the mom’s and pop’s segments. Something far left democrats seem to do all too often while making policy decisions.
And don’t miss who is getting special carve-outs. Is this a backdoor way to collapse conservatives’ dominance in talk radio?
Economics 101? Or No Room for Reality?
Then we talk to Jonathan Williams, Chief Economist for American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC. He brings us up to date on the spending that Biden’s administration is zeroed in on. We discuss what is happening with the dollar and a possible move by China to do more harm to America’s economy.
We’re only a few months into the Biden administration. But there is already a worrisome economic forecast on the horizon possibly coming our way in the next few years. We are spending trillions upon trillions, with more than $6 trillion planned just in the first 4 months. Which doesn’t even cover the “normal” government spending of $4.5 trillion per year.
Where is this coming from?
It can only come from wishful, magic money. Where it never has to be paid back.
Economics + Monetary Policy = Coming Crash?
In economics, just like in life, you ignore reality at your peril. See the links section below for some concerning videos that are warning about a potential and massive crash. Which, they claim, is all but certain. One of the most concerning is from Harry Dent. Harry Dent warns that globally, financial assets (stocks, bonds, etc.) are massively over-valued: $520 trillion which is 6.2 times global GDP of ~84 trillion. He says it normally is only about 2 times.
With so many warnings from well-respected economists and analyses, maybe it’s time to protect yourself.

Carl Wilson (Segments 1–3)
Basic definition of central assessment: “The state assesses the property value of a business, rather than a local county assessing the value. The difference is the central assessment uses the company’s entire, statewide worth (even if they’re not a statewide company), including all property, equipment, brand value, and more. Even equipment decades old is lumped in—at original retail costs—rather than its current depreciated value.
Central assessment: A great writeup from Eric J. Kodesch: Oregon Supreme Court Finalizes DOR’s Complete Victory in Central Assessment Dispute (Journal of Multistate Taxation and Incentives, Volume 29, Number 3, June 2019)
This is the kicker: “the Oregon Supreme Court agreed with the Department’s position that property is new property if it is “newly added to an account on the assessment rolls.” In other words, in addition to property purchased or constructed by the taxpayer, new property includes the decision by the Department to centrally assess property.
Further, the new property consisted of all of the property moved to the new account, and not just the property not previously subject to tax, such as the intangible property.”
In other words, its new if we say it’s new
This is rather alarming. It’s taxable if the govt decides it’s taxable and no pesky law designed to protect from the government can protect you
Oregon Supreme Court Provides Definition of “Data Transmission Services” for Central Assessment Purposes (Stoel Rives, LLP, Oct 2, 2014)
“As in most states, “central assessment” (or “state assessment”) generally means that the value of taxable property is determined “centrally” by the state’s Department of Revenue rather than by the local county assessor.
In Oregon, however, a major additional consequence of central assessment is that intangible property of a centrally assessed business is subject to tax, while the intangible property of a locally assessed business is not.
Furthermore, central assessment is based on the value of the taxable “unit” of property, as allocated and apportioned to Oregon taxing jurisdictions by formula. For these reasons, central assessment can, at least in theory, use the entire worldwide brand value of a business, including goodwill, as its starting point, as well as all of its real and tangible personal property.”
The bill to exempt radio stations from this onerous tax scheme is HB2331

Original Air Dates: Mar. 20th & 21st, 2021 | Scott Shepard & Cody Wisniewski
This Week: We know that Oregon is the Petri Dish of Leftist ideology. And in Oregon, many times we conservatives feel there’s a double standard and a double whammy of far-left ideas, policies, and actions hitting us as we watch constitutional rights not only get attacked but many times stripped. This week’s show is all about those double standards, especially when it comes to corporate and racial wokeness.
For those of us who just want America to be America so we can just live in peace and harmony, it becomes tiring to constantly have to watch and react to these never-ending reminders that if we rest, those precious rights go away. But, here we are, Oregon’s legislature once again proves the need for eternal vigilance. Especially when we look at the proposed anti-gun rights bills for 2021. Five bills that include one giving the Oregon Health Authority oversight of gun storage under the guise of a “health initiative” to stop adolescent suicide.
This, while teenage suicide rates have increased over this past year due to covid lock downs and masks orders. As they say never: let a good crisis go to waste.
Wokeness, Corporate Style
As if that weren’t enough, even when you just want to relax and be entertained, the Left inserts their ideology into the corporations that used to entertain us. Now, they want to indoctrinate. On social justice, on race, on everything. It’s wokeness brought to the corporate world. Or forced on it. We hope. Though we suspect many wholeheartedly embrace it.
Funny how companies used to worry about the bottom line. Stockholders used to worry about the customers and if their company was providing quality service and products. Not so much anymore where CEOs are convinced corporations are here to save humanity from itself.
Pushing Back on Corporate Wokeness
First up we talk with Scott Shepard of the Free Enterprise Project (a program of the National Center for Public Policy Research), regarding their confrontation with Disney’s CEO at a shareholder meeting. They wanted to discuss Disney’s embrace of far-left policies that counters what conservative stockholders may want.
Especially since Disney fired a conservative actress from a hit show for her tweets, while allowing similar comments from a progressive actor. Fairness and equity? How about just flat out hypocrisy. Which, of course, Disney can’t see.
Mr. Shepard talks to us about how the far-left got a foothold into corporate America and where its heading. Is America setting the legal stage for its own demise? But you can do something about it.
And don’t miss Biden’s in-your-face racist policies: cancelling farm-loan debts for minorities.
Wokeness, 2nd Amendment Style: Grab the Guns!
Then we talk to attorney Cody Wisniewski, who is with the Mountain States Legal Foundation. We talk about the bad news of Oregon’s latest attempts of eroding our 2nd Amendment rights with five new anti-gun rights bills. But we also discuss what is going right in other parts of the country. Including bills being introduced that would greatly increase gun rights and the states that agree.
Oregonians can take heart that constitutional efforts are winning, which makes it worthwhile to keep up the good fight.

SB 554 – limits possession of firearms in public buildings, even if you have a concealed carry license
HB 2510 — gives the Oregon Health Authority oversight regarding safe storage of firearms, punishable by fines up to $2,000. Yes. You heard that right. A health agency thinks they should be able to tell you how to store guns in your own home and fine you if you don’t do it their way.
HB 3055, regarding carrying when traveling now adds commercial airlines.
HB 3268 prohibits possession of weapons in the Capitol — except for police or military. Penalties are five years’ imprisonment, $125,000 fine, or both.
HB 25 43 prohibits transfer of firearms until State Police qualify the recipient of said firearm. Oregon Firearms Federation says this could allow the Oregon State Police to deny a firearm’s transfer forever — with no explanation or justification.
Equity & Fairness (But Only if You’re the Correct Kind)
Show Summary: Last week, our guest said a new focus of the political left is to infuse “equity and fairness” into everything. This week, we dig a little deeper into how that plays out: in community safety and policing, (including defunding the police), reparations, and especially socialized health care.

Original Air Dates: March 13th & 14th, 2021 | Nadra Enzi & David Ridenour
This Week: During Biden’s recent national address (actually, it’s been his only national address since ascending to the presidency), he pushed the point that if Americans would just obey the mandates they’d be allowed to celebrate Independence Day. Really? We must have very different ideas about the concept of independence.
Equity and Fairness
Actually, Joe’s approach could safely be called the far-left’s approach to governing, maybe even life. If you’d just throw down your inalienable rights, we’ll let you live. And you’ll think you’re free because we won’t mess with you as long as you do everything we tell you to. And that’s where America is heading under a Biden presidency. Follow the mandates regardless of Constitutional rights and we’ll get along just fine.
And, if you missed our show last week, with Kimberly Hermann of Southeastern Legal Foundation, you got a hint of it. Fairness and equity. This is the new focus of the political Left. The Marxists in all their forms.
Fairness and Equity: Socialized Medicine Version
Two of the big mandates, or rules, they want to push on America is socialized medicine and climate change. Both prescribe a different way of life that hands over personal freedoms and decisions in exchange for “government protections”.
Protections that allow the government to dominate every part of the American way of life. And remember: if they’re protecting it. They can also take it away.
And just wait until the vaccine mandates start coming out— determining whether or not you’ll be allowed to travel if you don’t have one, as countries gather to collectively agree do so mimicking a one world order.
Nadra Enzi: Leftists choose Ideology over All Else
So this week, we pick apart that agenda and how it’s trickling down into government policies and programs. Like reparations and soon the push to continue to fully socialize medicine. What’s driving all this? Ideology.
To talk about all of this we bring back a favored guest, Nadra Enzi, who fights a daily battle to bring law enforcement and community together for a safer life. A community safety advocate, he’s been on the battlefield of fighting for personal freedoms for years and discusses why now the push has become defunding police and reparations. All in the name of equity and fairness.
But when you break it down, it’s really only targeted for a few. And it’s really about those in power who want more power by dividing us.
David Ridenour, President of NCPPR
Then we talk to David Ridenour, founder and president of the National Center for Public Policy Research. David lived in Oregon many years ago, and things have certainly changed in this state. We discuss why NCPPR started in the Reagan days as a conservative think tank.
And there’s no greater example of Marxist ideology than socialized healthcare. We’re living through it right now. Because, as we’ve said many times on I Spy Radio, if you give the government power over your healthcare, you give them the right to control every part of your life. W
hy? Because now you’re fiduciary liability to them.
Government has the Lock. You Gave them the Key
And just look what we’re seeing. Covid has been the tool to lockdown the country, destroy a booming economy, and the excuse to demand compliance from citizens on everything from wearing masks to how close you’re allowed to stand. So we talk with David about socialized medicine as a key to condition people to accepting government. In every aspect of your life. After all, it’s about fairness and equity, right?
With the push toward a socialist state being driven harder than ever before, the work NCPPR does is more important now than ever.

“Both safety citizens and police critics hoped earlier community policing policies would be the solution to long-term tensions between law enforcement and urban communities. Its focus on relationship-building at all levels, however, seems to have fallen short of the mark. In fact, it appears that relationship-building between police and the public gave way to calls for diminished police powers and even abolishing the profession altogether.”

Original Air Dates: Mar 5th & 6th, 2021 | Kimberly Hermann & Chuck Wiese
This Week: Do you ever sit in your living room and think the world today just feels off?
In Oregon that’s not hard to do when we think about what people have endured over the past year. From businesses shut down orders, to losing their sole income—while watching bills pile up.
Victory in Federal Court: Overruling the CDC’s Power Grab
In all of this, renters were hugely impacted; they lost jobs only to find that no job might mean no home. So the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) stepped in and upended Constitutionally guaranteed property rights and declared a moratorium to evictions. Which sounds nice. Except, why is the CDC (which is hardly an economics agency) inserting itself into private property rights and contract law? And, as usual, Leftist thinking left out the other half of the equation.
Because on the flip side, people were taking advantage of the situation by not paying rent — and landlords were being forced into not being able to pay their investment mortgages that also kept the roof over the renters’ heads.
Southeastern Legal Foundation: Big Win over Government Overreach
It was bad enough that the government stepped in, telling business owners their revenue streams were shut off, causing disruptions of US free markets like never before. But then to declare that if renters can’t (or won’t) pay, they can’t be evicted. And there sat the landlords, footing the bills. Imagine if the CDC, with their economic insights, had deemed customers could walk into stores and take whatever they want and not have to pay for it. What other powers could the CDC seize for itself? Or what other rights could the CDC take away on a whim? Property rights are the cornerstone of the Constitution.
Enter Kim Hermann , the General Counsel for Southeastern Legal Foundation, which stood up to tyranny and sued to protect constitutional rights. And, in an exciting slam of the gavel, the judge determined the CDC’s moratorium on evictions was unconstitutional.
And suddenly with that decision the world started to right itself. Just a little bit.
We talk to Kim about what this case meant and what does it mean for upcoming cases in the future. We also talk to her about election laws, the Supreme Court’s decision to not hear any election fraud cases, and H. R. 1, the legalizing- election-theft bill just passed by Congressional democrats. She also talks about what the states are working on to correct that election integrity problems. Brave men and women who are stepping up to help fight another good fight.
Updates on Texas’s Green Energy Failure and on the Vaccines
Then, scientist Chuck Wiese returns to give us some of updates on two stories we recently talked to him about: the power grid situation in Texas and the covid vaccines. But before we dip into those, Chuck shares with us his own experiences of being a landlord and what’s happened in Oregon.
Tune in to hear how once again Oregon was the Petri dish for Leftist ideology as it whittled away at property rights of landowners under Governor Kate that perhaps set the stage for the CDC’s eviction moratoriums. We also talk with him about some updates on what is going on in oil-rich Texas and why so many climate and green energy officials in Texas have quit since their big storm. And we touch base to get his thoughts on the latest vaccine and some ongoing concerns about the pandemic and the government’s response to it.
And when we fold all the above information into one big package we have to wonder if we will ever hear the truth from any government officials.

Original Air Dates: Jan. 27 & 28, 2021 | Chuck Wiese & Jonathan Williams
This Week: With a President Biden in office for a little over a week, the Executive Orders have been signed in record amounts for any president. But Biden has a problem. There are many who are not only in disagreement with his new EO’s, but are willing to take him to court over them.
So this week we take a look at what Biden is doing to not unify America. Especially now that Americans have tasted the sweet fruits of a robust economy, energy independence, and peace agreements keeping us out of wars under a Trump presidency.
Biden’s desire to change us back to an Obama economy with critical restrictions on mining, fossil fuel production—effectively deciding who and which industries will be allowed to profit and who won’t—and his shut down orders may not go well for him as many rise up in opposition.
Medical Ethics: New Technology Vaccines & “Gain of Function” Research
To find out the specifics, first up we talk with a scientist, Chuck Wiese, to examine what is going on with covid and its vaccines. Concerns over the side effects, the experimental nature of them, and the safety of these vaccines is on the rise and we talk about the data that has exposed some deeply, big potential problems. We also talk about the ethics of using human guinea pigs to try out a first-of-its-kind vaccine technology, and the ethically troubling “gain of function” research that has led to creating diseases like covid-19, and China’s role on its release.
And don’t miss the stunning revelation of what was happening behind the scenes in the medical community with HCQ — hydroxychloroquine. Here’s an unsurprising hint: they were lying to you.
GameStop — Dawning of a New Economic Reality?
Then we bring on Jonathan Williams, of ALEC, who is watching the normal rules of economics seemingly disappear overnight. We look back at the last time Jonathan was on, one year ago, when President Trump had just introduced his budget, which wanted to cut spending and move toward a balanced budget by 2035. It would do it by forcing government to live within its means. Which would mean the Left could no longer siphon off money from taxpayers and give billions to their allies.
Don’t miss our review of the Green Funding Cycle!
Is that why the Left went all out to attack President Trump through every means possible? People do crazy things for just one million dollars. What would they be willing to do for trillions of dollars?
We talk about the crazy revolt happening now in the stock market as Reddit users go after the hedge funds, costing them $39 billion by one estimate. But is what we’re seeing with GameStop shares really such a good idea?
Executive Orders and the Biden Virus in the Economy
the unraveling of Trump’s economy through Biden’s attempts to stop oil in its tracks and bring back alternatives that put American on a bad path, weakening America while effectively giving countries like China a leg up. Why would anyone want to weaken America’s energy independence?
Be sure to visit ALEC’s terrific ranking of the states’ competitiveness and economic outlook site: www.RichStatesPoorStates.org. How is your state doing?
Biden seems to be stuck in an old script that now even his normal supporters such as unions are fighting mad at him for destroying good jobs on the Keystone Pipeline. People got used to good jobs and a good economy under Pres. Trump. Will they put up with this?
All is not well for a Biden world. Listen to find out why.

Reporting system is passive, meaning reports aren’t automatically added; “reports on VAERS represent ‘only a small fraction of actual adverse events,’ the site states” makes one wonder how many have not yet been filed
Laughable: “Health officials on the VAERS website caution that a report to the system doesn’t prove a vaccine caused the adverse event…” This from the same govt that counted anyone who died with a sniffle as having died from covid-19
CDC said on Jan 6 that “severe allergic reactions to COVID-19 vaccines were happening at a rate of 11.1 per million vaccinations, compared to the rate of 1.3 per 1 million flu shots” TEN times the rate for flu shots. But that can’t be correct. 11.1 per million, with 10.5 million getting the vax = 116 severe reactions total. There have been way more than that – including 55 that died. Almost half that 116 figure.
“Norway changed its COVID-19 vaccination guide to direct officials not to give “very frail” people one of the vaccines, citing 13 deaths among people who were vaccinated.”
DNA is the blueprint for the organism; RNA is is the builder, the contractor that tells parts of the cell what to do and when to do it
“Messenger RNA (mRNA) copies portions of genetic code, a process called transcription, and transports these copies to ribosomes, which are the cellular factories that facilitate the production of proteins from this code.”
According to Biden’s statement: “The executive order also directs the secretary of interior to stop issuing new oil and gas leases on public lands and in offshore waters wherever possible,” Biden said, adding: “Let me be clear, and I know this always comes up, we are not going to ban fracking. We’ll protect jobs and grow jobs.”
“But the bigger and longer-lasting impact may be on how the market itself operates. Never before has a group of amateur investors taken on a hedge fund like this and won. The battle over GameStop has taken on something of a David vs. Goliath feel, with some people outside of finance painting it as a reckoning for parts of Wall Street.”
A hedge fund bet GameStop would drop, internet users bought up shares to make it rise, which meant the short seller hedge funds lost billions. $23 billion by one estimate.

Original Air Dates: Jan. 09 & 10, 2021 | State Sen. Dennis Linthicum
This Week’s Show: Getting off the Path to Tyranny
Now on the other side of all the election let downs, illegal ballots cast, state officials stepping all over their own state’s constitution, riots, and those killed during the riots we’re shaking off the desire to hide our heads in the sand, and instead focus on fighting back.
Pretending we don’t have serious problems, or overreacting by pushing violence and government overthrow, won’t solve anything. We need a steady hand on the wheel as we try to untangle and undo the forces determined to destroy our country.
New Rules in Elections. Win if Possible. If not, Chang the Rules
A recent Just the News article from John Solomon wrote that the 2020 election wasn’t just an election, it was a political watershed in which the rules and strategy for winning were rewritten. So by not thinking it through of what has to happen now, with all these institutions and media in favor of socialism, stopping it means we must take instead seize new rules and strategy for winning.
This week, we take a deep dive into Senator Linthicum’s latest newsletter. He examines how we in Oregon have been forced into shut downs and a ruined economy through the government’s manipulation of numbers, using covid as the cover.
Jump down to read Senator Dennis Linthicum’s full newsletter
What better way to exercise their desire to rid of us our rights while making us beholden to the scraps of money tossed into households, making them grateful. A socialist-style society being formed as covid smoking flares keeps the truth hidden. Covid or global warming it doesn’t matter. It’s the same tactics designed to confuse and manipulate. Their bureaucracy of supports all respond to one goal: control of everything.
The senator walks us through how the mirrors of deception are made and used and ties it back to current events in DC. This while Trump is making clear that he may be leaving the presidency, but he’s not leaving the fight.
Neither are we.

The Patriots’ worst defeat of the American Revolution (via History.com)
Dr. Frank Bures: False positive COVID PCR tests sow confusion (Winowa Daily News, Jan 3, 2021)* “I have seen it written that anywhere from 25% to 40% of people with COVID infections are totally asymptomatic.”
Experts: US COVID-19 positivity rate high due to ‘too sensitive’ tests (MSN, Aug 30, 2020)
Fauci reinforces WHO’s recognition that vaccine may not prevent contraction (Just the News, Jan 5, 2021)
The massive COVID-19 “Test-Test-Retest” scheme is the only thing that keeps Gov. Kate Brown’s lockdown hype going. The destructionists in control love their power and testing has proven to be the perfect tool. We all know that good data is a requirement for good decision making. The testing mantra was originally portrayed as the tool to help us gather good data and lead us to make good decisions. But now we see the data isn’t being used to make good decisions it is being manipulated for ulterior ends.
COVID-19 testing has expanded dramatically throughout our state and the nation. Thus, as more and more people get tested, local county health organizations can use the data to pump statistical non-information and keep the public confused and fearful. What we do see, in the statistics, is that COVID-19 “cases” might be rising but the numbers are bolstered mostly by non-ill, non symptomatic people who are presumed to have COVID-19 although they feel just fine.
False positives have long been recognized as problematic and the World Health Organization (WHO) finally released a guidance memo on December 14th, warning that high cycle thresholds on PCR tests will result in false positives. So this misguided policy perspective is unforgivable. Also, the “infection fatality rate” is falling faster as the presumed, confirmed, and asymptomatic cases keep rising. This should be great news but it is never treated by the media or political class, as such.
This makes me wonder about several things…
What does our future hold?
How long will these lockdowns last?
Will lockdowns become a common “goto” too?
This last question may seem outlandish, but recall that the WHO’s original definition of a pandemic was regarding, “epidemics worldwide with enormous numbers of deaths and illness.” A new definition appeared on the scene right in front of what we now call the 2009 Swine Flu pandemic. This newer definition removed criteria about the severity of any illnesses and also removed the criteria for high rates of mortality. The definition now refers to a pandemic as “a worldwide epidemic of a disease.”
If you are wondering why death rates are never discussed, it is because they are no longer relevant to the definition. This means the media, health officials and the political class can push this entirely spurious statistic to keep thoughtful questioners at bay and give statistical reinforcements to the next administrative dictator.
The public was complacent with the original “flatten the curve” logic because it was to meant preserve personal protective gear, ventilators, and hospital beds. All good goals and, indeed, the death curve has been flattened for nearly eight months. Yet, death counts don’t count and case counts remain the COVID-19 boogey-man.
The above graphic for case counts shows an obvious upward trend. In fact, this statistic is so visually terrifying that scare-mongers avoid publishing the fact that the annual average compares favorably to other flu seasons. The nefarious news sources and social media networks are doing their best to censor and quiet the rising anger against their unbalanced reporting and the government’s needless and ineffective lockdown strategies.
From the data we can determine that these mandates are incapable of stopping a viral outbreak. But, what if the purpose of these mandates is not about stopping the virus? What if these mandates are about control? Monetary, physical, emotional, and spiritual control?
My press-releases over the last several weeks have tried to alert people to the changing landscape being twisted beneath our feet. The Governor is promoting “Lock-down Mania”. Why? It behooves us to question what is the end goal of her “mania”? Could it be to eviscerate the economy, sabotage our cultural heritage and preach a unique brand of medical mysticism that borders on malpractice?
The Governor’s office, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), executive agencies and Democrat cronies are perpetuating either one of two dystopian futures. They offer us, on one-hand, the statistically improbable COVID contagion that will destroy the lives of us and our loved ones; or on the other-hand, their lockdown inspired destruction of our free-market economy, complete with untold financial ruin, bankruptcy, unemployment, and despair.
Biden portrays the future as a “dark winter”, but it doesn’t have to be. The future doesn’t have to be a dimly lit hellhole of socialism if the truth can prevail. We must not allow our future to be consumed by what lies in the dark heart of these leftists who are clamoring for positions of authority within the new regime.
We must continue to unite against the left’s endless proposals for the bureaucratic central state. Stand together for the principles our nation’s founders documented so elegantly. Stand and fight for these self-evident truths:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
Our individual rights and liberties are not dependent on whether the president, congress, governor, or legislature honors those rights. Those rights belong to us as individual free-will, moral agents graced with unique attributes and filled with human dignity. Our rights are eternal vouchers that belong to every person regardless of race, creed, religion or heritage and the state has no right to intervene in any person’s just pursuits for their own lives, livelihoods, and the well-being of their posterity.
I will not back down from the fight to preserve our American heritage. Together we can bring Oregon back to our original constitutional form of limited government, but we’ll need to hold fast to our principles and not let them steal our livelihoods from us.

Original Air Dates: Dec 18 & 19, 2020 | James Hirsen
When it comes to evidence of election conspiracy, the media is doing its best Sergeant Schultz: “I see nothing!” Election theft isn’t hard to see. One merely needs to open one’s eyes. And ears. And mind. Close minded people never see anything, even the blindingly obvious.
This week, still more evidence of election conspiracy has emerged. And, not surprisingly, it points back to the Clintons. We’re honored to have James Hirsen join us this week. James Hirsen is a bestselling author (Tales from the Left Coast), a media analyst, as well as an attorney who has helped argue cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Election Conspiracy: The Evidence is Obvious.
We can thank attorney Lin Wood for shining a spotlight on the latest evidence of election conspiracy. Actually, we can thank him for shining a spotlight on pretty much all of evidence of election conspiracy. Lin Wood, as well as Sidney Powell, have done more to expose election theft than the entire mainstream media.
New Evidence in 2020 Election Theft Scandal: Historical Origins
Does it surprise anyone that the Clintons would be in the middle of the historical origins to steal 2020? Of course it doesn’t.
Lin Wood spotlighted an email from 2010 between Laura Graham and Cheryl Mills that came to light thanks to a FOIA request. The email shows evidence of them discussing Smartmatic, an elections-fixing company that has had “successful elections.” What can that mean other than “our side won.”…?
The emails show an attorney, Cheryl Mills, who clearly should know that vote rigging is being illegal, as the prepare to steal Haiti’s election. And put in someone who will look the other way while the Clinton Foundation has its way with Haiti.
