In Sonoma County California we’ve had 3 major wildfires in the past two months, evacuations, and weeks of toxic smoke. This deadly scenario has played out for several years in a row and the damage to lives, homes, nature, and towns throughout California is unprecedented. California’s investor owned utility, PG&E, has been found guilty for the majority of the previous fires, including many lives lost.
In 2019 Business Insider reported, “Over 1,500 California fires in the past 6 years — including the deadliest ever — were caused by one company: PG&E.”
National Geographic reports on the science connecting wildfires to climate change, stating: “Increasing heat, changing rain and snow patterns, shifts in plant communities, and other climate-related changes have vastly increased the likelihood that fires will start more often and burn more intensely and widely than they have in the past.”
What if there are other unexamined reasons for the intensity of these wildfires? Or maybe a combination of reasons? How might the following be a factor?
Smart grid equipment that emits microwaves was installed on utility power lines starting around 2013 throughout California.
Utility smart meters have caused fires at the meter or in an appliance. Smart meters transmit pulsed radiation every few seconds have dramatically increased microwave pollution.
Trees and plants are stressed, drier, and more fire prone from years of microwave radiation pollution from cell towers, cell phones, smart meters, etc.
Stressed trees and plants emit terpenes which makes them more fire prone.
Scientists conclude plants are stressed by microwave radiation. Here are a few studies:

stillnessinthestorm--2020-10-12--The Circle Is Complete: Bank of Japan Joins Fed And ECB In Preparing Rollout Of Digital Currency

( Activist Post ) First it was the Fed , then the ECB , and now the BOJ : the world ’ s central banks are quietly preparing to unleash digital currencies on an unsuspecting population in one final last-ditch attempt to spark inflation and do away with the current monetary orthodoxy which has failed to push living conditions for the masses higher ( but most importantly , has failed to inflate away a growing mountain of insurmountable global debt ) .
On Friday , the Bank of Japan joined the Fed and ECB when it said it would begin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ digital currency , rather than confining itself to conceptual research as it has to date .
The bank explained that it might provide general purpose CBDC if cash in circulation drops “ significantly ” and private digital money is not sufficient to substitute the functions of cash , while promising to supply physical cash as long as there is public demand for it .
The move , as Reuters reports , came in tandem with an announcement by a group of seven major central banks , including the BOJ , on what they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bank digital currency ( CBDC ) such as resilience and a clear legal framework .
It also falls in line with new Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga ’ s focus on promoting digitalization and administrative reform to boost the country ’ s competitiveness .
In a report laying out its approach on CBDC , the BOJ said it will conduct a first phase of experiments on basic functions core to CBDCs , such as issuance and distribution , early in the fiscal year beginning in April 2021 .
The experiments will be part @ @ @ @ @ @ @ look more closely into how it can issue general-purpose CBDCs , intended to be used widely among the general public including companies and households .
Naturally , to avoid sparking a panic that paper money is on its way out – and thus prompt the population to hoard it – the BOJ said that CBDCs “ will complement , not replace , cash and focus on making payment and settlement systems more convenient.
” However , how exactly it is “ more convenient ” for the central bank to be able to remotely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s digital wallet without notice , remains a mystery .
Unlike the Fed , the BOJ plans to have financial institutions and other private entities serve as intermediaries between the central bank and end users , rather than have companies and households hold deposits directly with the BOJ .
“ While the BOJ currently has no plan to issue CBDC … it ’ s important to prepare thoroughly to respond to changes in circumstances , ” the report said .
In the second phase of experiments , the BOJ will look at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whether it should set a limit on the amount issued and pay a remuneration on deposits .
In the final step before issuance , the BOJ will launch a pilot program involving private firms and households , it said .
The BOJ added it would be desirable for the CBDC to be used not only for domestic but cross-border payments ; in short , don ’ t worry , this is just an experiment… but once operational it will take over the entire existing monetary system .
To be sure , having complete @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , all the way to each quantum of currency in circulation has been a central banker dream .
A key reasons for negative rates was for banks to force consumers to pull their money out of the bank and spend it , thus lifting the velocity of money .
Alas , as we showed previously , the lowest interest rates in history merely prompted even more savings and less spending , resulting in catastrophic consequences for the financial sectors wherever negative rates were adopted , such as Japan and Europe .
Become an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ month at Patreon .
Until now , Japan had been cautious about moving too quickly on digital currencies given the social disruptions it could cause in a country that has the world ’ s most cash-loving population .

The innovation of a digital currency system as described by Mastercard could deliver stimulus directly to consumers .

While central banks have been trying without success to increase inflation for the past decade , the temptation to put CBDCs into effect might be very strong among policymakers .
However , CBDCs would not only inject liquidity into the economy but also could accelerate the velocity of money .
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inflation than central bankers bargain for .
When first implementing QE , central banks promised that this measure would be temporary and would be unwound after the crisis ended , a pledge that I have doubted for a while .
Central banks as we know have perpetuated QE as part of their updated toolbox of monetary policies .

On Friday, the Bank of Japan joined the Fed and ECB when it said it would begin experimenting on how to operate its own digital currency, rather than confining itself to conceptual research as it has to date.
Digitalization has advanced in various areas at home and abroad on the back of rapid development of information communication technology. There is a possibility of a surge in public demand for central bank digital currency (CBDC) going forward, considering the rapid development of technological innovation. While the Bank of Japan currently has no plan to issue CBDC, from the viewpoint of ensuring the stability and efficiency of the overall payment and settlement systems, the Bank considers it important to prepare thoroughly to respond to changes in circumstances in an appropriate manner.
The bank explained that it might provide general purpose CBDC if cash in circulation drops “significantly” and private digital money is not sufficient to substitute the functions of cash, while promising to supply physical cash as long as there is public demand for it.
The move, as Reuters reports, came in tandem with an announcement by a group of seven major central banks, including the BOJ, on what they see as core features of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) such as resilience and a clear legal framework. It also falls in line with new Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga’s focus on promoting digitalization and administrative reform to boost the country’s competitiveness.
In a report laying out its approach on CBDC, the BOJ said it will conduct a first phase of experiments on basic functions core to CBDCs, such as issuance and distribution, early in the fiscal year beginning in April 2021. The experiments will be part of the BOJ’s efforts to look more closely into how it can issue general-purpose CBDCs, intended to be used widely among the general public including companies and households.
Naturally, to avoid sparking a panic that paper money is on its way out – and thus prompt the population to hoard it – the BOJ said that CBDCs “will complement, not replace, cash and focus on making payment and settlement systems more convenient.” However, how exactly it is “more convenient” for the central bank to be able to remotely extinguish any amount of money in one’s digital wallet without notice, remains a mystery.
Unlike the Fed, the BOJ plans to have financial institutions and other private entities serve as intermediaries between the central bank and end users, rather than have companies and households hold deposits directly with the BOJ.
“While the BOJ currently has no plan to issue CBDC … it’s important to prepare thoroughly to respond to changes in circumstances,” the report said.
In the second phase of experiments, the BOJ will look at the potential design of CBDCs such as whether it should set a limit on the amount issued and pay a remuneration on deposits.
In the final step before issuance, the BOJ will launch a pilot program involving private firms and households, it said.
The BOJ added it would be desirable for the CBDC to be used not only for domestic but cross-border payments; in short, don’t worry, this is just an experiment… but once operational it will take over the entire existing monetary system.
To be sure, having complete control over the entire monetary transmission mechanism, all the way to each quantum of currency in circulation has been a central banker dream.

With QE, central banks have printed excess reserves that have benefited only the very wealthy and large institutions. The innovation of a digital currency system as described by Mastercard could deliver stimulus directly to consumers. Such a mechanism could open veritable floodgates of liquidity into the consumer economy and accelerate the rate of inflation. While central banks have been trying without success to increase inflation for the past decade, the temptation to put CBDCs into effect might be very strong among policymakers. However, CBDCs would not only inject liquidity into the economy but also could accelerate the velocity of money. That one-two punch could bring about far more inflation than central bankers bargain for. When first implementing QE, central banks promised that this measure would be temporary and would be unwound after the crisis ended, a pledge that I have doubted for a while. Central banks as we know have perpetuated QE as part of their updated toolbox of monetary policies. The first use of digital currencies in monetary policy might start small as policymakers, out of caution, seek to calibrate this experiment in quasi-fiscal stimulus. However, such initial restraint could give way to growing complacency and greater use of the tool – just as we saw with QE. The temptations of CBDCs are not limited to excesses in monetary policy. CBDCs also appear to be an effective mechanism for bypassing the taxation, debt issuance and spending prerogatives of government to implement a quasi-fiscal policy. Imagine, for example, the ease of enacting Modern Monetary Theory via CBDCs. With CBDCs, the central banks would possess the necessary plumbing to directly deliver a digital currency to individuals’ bank accounts, ready to be spent via debit cards. Let me quote again from Charles I. Plosser’s warning in 2012: “Once a central bank ventures into fiscal policy, it is likely to find itself under increasing pressure from the private sector, financial markets, or the government to use its balance sheet to substitute for other fiscal decisions.” With a flick of the digital switch, CBDCs can enable policymakers to meet, or cave in to, those demands – at the risk of igniting an inflation conflagration, abandoning what little still survives of sovereign fiscal discipline and who knows what else. I hope the leaders of the world’s central banks will approach this new financial technology with extreme caution, guarding against its overuse or outright abuse. It’s hard to be optimistic. Soon our monetary Pandoras will possess their own box full of new powers, perhaps too enticing to resist.
Here is another reason why it is hard to be optimistic: without virtually any public discourse or debate, central banks are now so far down along in the process that they are just steps away from rolling out a private-sector venture with one of the largest digital payments processors in the world. Below is a press release that virtually nobody noticed in early September from none other than electronic payment giant MasterCard, in which it revealed that it had launched “Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) Testing Platform, Enabling Central Banks to Assess and Explore National Digital Currencies”
With the global economy racing to embrace digital payments, central banks also are looking to the future and investigating how to support innovation while maintaining monetary policy and financial stability as they issue and distribute currency. In fact, 80 percent of central banks surveyed are engaging in some form of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) work, and about 40 percent of central banks have progressed from conceptual research to experimenting with concept and design, according to a recent survey by the Bank for International Settlements. Today, Mastercard announced a proprietary virtual testing environment for central banks to evaluate CBDC use cases. The platform enables the simulation of issuance, distribution and exchange of CBDCs between banks, financial service providers and consumers. Central banks, commercial banks, and tech and advisory firms are invited to partner with Mastercard to assess CBDC tech designs, validate use cases and evaluate interoperability with existing payment rails available for consumers and businesses today.
Mastercard is a leader in operating multiple payment rails and convening partners to ensure a level playing field for everyone – from banks to businesses to mobile network operators – in order to bring the most people possible into the digital economy. Mastercard wants to harness its expertise to enable the practical, safe and secure development of digital currencies. “Central banks have accelerated their exploration of digital currencies with a variety of objectives, from fostering financial inclusion to modernizing the payments ecosystem,” said Raj Dhamodharan, Executive Vice President, Digital Asset and Blockchain Products and Partnerships, Mastercard. “Mastercard is driving innovation with the public sector, banks, fintechs, and advisory firms in the exploration of CBDCs, working with partners that are aligned to our core values and principles. This new platform supports central banks as they make decisions now and in the future about the path forward for local and regional economies,” Dhamodharan added. Sheila Warren, Head of Blockchain, Digital Assets and Data Policy at the World Economic Forum, said: “Collaborations between the public and private sectors in the exploration of Central Bank Digital Currencies can help central banks better understand the range of technology possibilities and capabilities available with respect to CBDCs. Central banks can benefit from support in exploring the option set available to them with respect to CBDCs, as well as gaining insight into what opportunities may be forthcoming.” Finally, why are central banks using blockchain as the backbone for all digital currency efforts? It has nothing to do with their fascination with bitcoin, or their fear that cryptocurrencies can become dominant (although there certainly is an element of that). The real reason is that blockchain allows every single discrete currency unit, whether it is the digital dollar, digital euro, digital yen or digital yuan, to be tracked from its digital inception, through every single transaction, and to which wallet it can be found in at any given moment. In short, blockchain-based digital currencies will allow central banks to have a real-time map of absolutely every monetary unit in circulation, and every single economic transaction, something they can’t do with trillions in anonymous paper money still sloshing around (the inverse process was launched by the ECB when it did away with the notorious €500 banknote which allowed European to easily circumvent Europe’s negative interest rates). And, of course, when push comes to shove, central banks will also be able to “warn” the public the digital money in their digital wallets may soon expire, sparking an inflationary flood of spending with the flick of a switch.

Filmmaker and journalist Phelim McAleer, who is a contributor to The Daily Wire, is the head producer of “Obamagate,” named after former President Barack Obama, who is a central figure to the Russian collusion investigation’s origin — though he is not featured in the film.
The trailer features snippets of actors playing Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and others reading through lines taken from tweets, messages, notes, and other writings made by the actual people they are depicting.
The film project, which is being crowdfunded, will focus on the FBI under Comey, as well as other key players in ex-special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged Russian collusion such as former FBI special agent Peter Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page. The movie’s October release coincides with Showtime’s “The Comey Rule” — which paints the former FBI director in a favorable light — and the release of Strozk’s memoir.
“Showtime has created ‘The Comey Rule’ which is based on a political fairytale and a conspiracy theory that is told by the left in a shameless attempt to take down President Trump. It’s simply untrue, and despite this, the media is gushing over ‘The Comey Rule.’ Americans deserve the truth,” McAleer said when he announced the movie in early September.
“Showtime is spending tens of million[s] of dollars to tell this lie and that’s why we’re creating ‘Obamagate The Movie,’ to set the record straight,” he continued. “Whereas Showtime and ‘The Comey Rule’ rely on dramatic fiction written by left-wing Hollywood writers, ‘Obamagate The Movie’ is non-fiction and it is solely composed of the texts, emails, messages, and transcripts that clearly show the Deep State plot to take down President Trump. We are giving viewers the word-for-word facts so they can decide for themselves.”
Actors Dean Cain and Kristy Swanson will star in the film as Strzok and Page, respectively. John James will play the role of Comey.
The movie will be filmed “Hamilton-style” as a Broadway play. The dialogue is fairly unique in that all lines have been lifted from court documents, text messages, official notes, and other public records released on the investigation.
“The film’s script is unusual in that it is completely verbatim and consists of the text messages, declassified files, congressional and court transcripts, tweets, and statements of top government and FBI officials. And it also features the embarrassing and conspiratorial text messages of ‘FBI Lovebirds’ Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. ‘Obamagate’ also features appearances by James Comey and the Obama CIA Chief James Brennan and their cringeworthy tweets read aloud,” a release for the movie says.
“If you wanted to tell a story with just one perspective, you can do anything you want and you can change people’s perceptions of what took place,” Cain said in a statement. “When you do something verbatim, the words are there and it’s pretty darn clear. The verbatim texts themselves are damning.”

stillnessinthestorm--2020-10-12--Plastic-Eating Super Enzyme Could Help Solve The Plastic Waste Crisis

( Jordan Davidson ) Scientists are on the brink of scaling up an enzyme that devours plastic .
In the latest breakthrough , the enzyme degraded plastic bottles six times faster than previous research achieved , as The Guardian reported .
This new super-enzyme is able to break down plastic at room temperature , setting it apart from the enzyme that the French company Carbios discovered in April .

The researchers worked doggedly to reengineer the enzymes of an enzyme first discovered in Japan in 2016 .
The scientists published their results Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences .

The research holds tremendous promise for tackling the plastic waste crisis since the enzyme feeds on the type of plastic that water and soda bottles are made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
That type of plastic can take hundreds of years to degrade .
The enzyme that the researchers enhanced can break the plastic down in just a few days , according to John McGeehan , the director of the Center for Enzyme Innovation at the University of Portsmouth in the UK , as The Telegraph reported .
“ When we linked the enzymes , rather unexpectedly , we got a dramatic increase in activity , ” said McGeehan , as The Guardian reported .
“ This is a trajectory towards trying to make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But it ’ s also one of those stories about learning from nature , and then bringing it into the lab.
” He was referring to the process that bacteria in nature use to devour polyesters , which occur in nature to protect plant leaves .
“ Bacteria have been evolving for millions of years to eat that , ” he said , as the BBC reported in April .
McGeehan added that the enzyme could help accelerate a sustainable model since it enables the plastics to be “ made and reused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ resources , ” as The Independent in Ireland reported .
McGeehan believes that cooperation between researchers and corporations could help scale up the enzyme in the near future .
“ If we can make better , faster enzymes by linking them together and provide them to companies like Carbios , and work in partnership , we could start doing this within the next year or two , ” he said , as The Guardian reported .

The research holds tremendous promise for tackling the plastic waste crisis since the enzyme feeds on the type of plastic that water and soda bottles are made of, polyethylene terephthalate (PET). That type of plastic can take hundreds of years to degrade. The enzyme that the researchers enhanced can break the plastic down in just a few days, according to John McGeehan, the director of the Center for Enzyme Innovation at the University of Portsmouth in the UK, as The Telegraph reported. “When we linked the enzymes, rather unexpectedly, we got a dramatic increase in activity,” said McGeehan, as The Guardian reported. “This is a trajectory towards trying to make faster enzymes that are more industrially relevant. But it’s also one of those stories about learning from nature, and then bringing it into the lab.”
He was referring to the process that bacteria in nature use to devour polyesters, which occur in nature to protect plant leaves. “Bacteria have been evolving for millions of years to eat that,” he said, as the BBC reported in April. McGeehan added that the enzyme could help accelerate a sustainable model since it enables the plastics to be “made and reused endlessly, reducing our reliance on fossil resources,” as The Independent in Ireland reported. McGeehan believes that cooperation between researchers and corporations could help scale up the enzyme in the near future. “If we can make better, faster enzymes by linking them together and provide them to companies like Carbios, and work in partnership, we could start doing this within the next year or two,” he said, as The Guardian reported.

The rampage in a portion of downtown also saw the criminals smash windows at Portland State University’s police office, the Oregon Historical Society, and a number of businesses.
“We have gotten reports of windows being broken in numerous buildings. The gathering has been declared a riot,” the Portland Police Bureau said around 10:30 p.m. local time.
Many people in the mob were dressed in all-black, wearing masks that obscured their face, in a style favored by the far-left, anarcho-communist Antifa network. Several known Antifa members were present. The PNW Youth Liberation Front, an Antifa-linked group, said on social media, “hey portland. THAT is how we [expletive] do it. didn’t that feel wonderful?”
Video footage showed rioters using chains and harnesses to pull the Roosevelt statue off its pedestal to the ground. Police had said that some people were trying to pull down a statue with a chain.
The “Rough Rider” bronze statue depicted Roosevelt, America’s 26th president, on top of a horse. It was donated to the city by Dr. Henry Waldo Coe after its completion in 1922.
The Lincoln statue was in the same area, Southwest Park Avenue and Southwest Madison Street. It showed Lincoln on foot, looking down. The statue was also donated by Coe.
A Black Lives Matter group, the Portland Sound Bloc, said the statue of Lincoln was toppled “because it was Lincoln who ordered the largest mass execution in American history.”
The riot was dubbed the “Indigenous Peoples Day of Rage” by organizers.
After toppling the statues, the crowd smashed windows at the Oregon Historical Society, a Wells Fargo branch, and a small business called Heroes American Cafe.
“So sad. The damage at the park with the statues being removed, damaged over there, and the damage here, this is not what Oregon is all about,” Kerry Tymchuk, executive director of the society, told KOIN-TV.
“To the business owners and the people, hang in there. We are all in this together. This type of violence makes no sense. It only hurts the small guys like myself. We are just here providing a service to the community,” added John Jackson, the cafe’s owner.
A Portland State University spokesman told The Epoch Times via email that the windows and front door of the school’s public safety office was damaged. “No one was hurt, and the damage was cleaned up Monday,” he said.
A spokesman for Mayor and Police Commissioner Ted Wheeler, a Democrat, didn’t respond to a request for comment.
It wasn’t clear if any arrests were made.
Few pictures and videos were available from the scene. Organizers of the event had urged people not to film what happened. Even credentialed press have increasingly avoided snapping pictures that show the faces of rioters after being threatened in recent months.
Police and independent reporter Andy Ngo would be “[expletive] there were no cameras tonight,” the Liberation Front said on Twitter. “Proof of what we’ve been telling y’all for a moment: less cameras, safer protests.”
“That Portland self-identified video journalists followed Antifa instructions to not record a pre-planned violent criminal riot tonight tells you what you need to know about the previous information coming from those sources. They prioritize protecting Antifa over truth,” Ngo responded.
Unrest in Portland started in late May and has continued nearly every night since, save for a 2-week period when wildfires were looming.
The Portland Police Bureau spent nearly $7 million on overtime alone in June and July as officers struggled to respond to the protests and riots and maintain normal police functions.
“The Bureau strongly supports free speech rights, and we encourage citizens to protest peacefully. But we have a responsibility to respond to criminal activity and violence, and it’s regrettable that this money couldn’t be spent on other important community priorities,” Sgt. Kevin Allen, a police spokesman, told The Epoch Times via email last week.
The Department of Justice last month declared Portland a jurisdiction that permits anarchy, violence, and property destruction because of policies and measures put in place by city and county officials, including the cutting of $15 million from the police bureau’s budget.
Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt has rejected 666 charges related to the unrest in part because of a new policy that sees prosecutors presumptively decline to pursue charges in some cases.
A spokesman for the district attorney said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times on Monday: “When we receive the police reports from law enforcement regarding any arrests made last night and over the weekend, we will review each of them to make a charging determination. I am unaware, at the moment, of how many arrests were made Sunday night and whether any of the arrests were for toppling the statues or breaking into the businesses.”

“That’s impressive,” he said.
Throughout the second day of her confirmation hearing, Judge Barrett has been grilled by Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats on her views regarding topics such as the Affordable Care Act, Roe v. Wade, and whether or not she would recuse herself from any election lawsuits involving President Trump.
The third day of hearings on Wednesday will feature more questions from senators and answers from Judge Barrett.
Outside witnesses will testify before the committee for or against the appointment of Barrett on Thursday. On October 22, it is predicted that the committee will vote to progress her nomination to the floor of the Senate to vote on her appointment. The entire 100-member body would then vote on October 29—merely five days before the presidential election.
I admire Amy Coney Barrett for many reasons… the fact her knowledge of law is so internalized and coherent she needs no notes is only one. When truth is your guide, and you follow it where it leads, memory mobilizes swiftly and emotions flow with tranquility. https://t.co/fgNsTzDxFu — JustinStillness (Deschamps) (@JustnStillness) October 14, 2020
