Hundreds of tons of waste produced on military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan were doused with jet and diesel fuels and burned in massive burn pits—as American soldiers lived, worked, and slept next to the toxic fumes. Now that they are home, hundreds of thousands veterans are sick and dying from lung diseases, cancers, and respiratory illnesses.
The Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense continue to ignore our veterans’ suffering and deaths caused by their neglect despite their own statistics which show burn pits as the source of these health problems.
Sign our petition to tell Congress it must pass a bipartisan bill so veterans will no longer be denied the care and benefits our government owes them for their service.
There’s a reason it’s against the law to burn hazardous waste in your own backyard in America.
It’s common sense. Burning regular household waste releases carcinogens, neuro-disruptors, and heavy metals that can have devastating effects on the lungs, heart, brain, thyroid, and immune system.
It’s also a scientific fact. Federal and state government agencies compiled decades of research linking toxins from burn pits to diseases and birth defects.
But the US military paid private companies like Halliburton subsidiary KBR billions of dollars from taxpayer funds to burn human waste, aerosols, Styrofoam, medical waste, biohazardous materials, body parts, trucks, and explosives in Iraq and Afghanistan. Then troops got sick and started dying. It’s haunting and a reminder that these forever wars have long-lasting consequences.
For every soldier returning with horrific health defects, there are untold numbers of servicemembers who continue to be subjected to burn pit sites and toxic smoke to this day. The DoD and VA must acknowledge the reality and gravity of the problems toxic chemicals from burn pits have caused and take immediate action to end the use of the active burn pits once and for all.
In addition, Congress must make health care and compensation available to veterans and servicemembers who are suffering exposure-related health effects. And, we must pass legislation that grants surviving families of deceased veterans the benefits they deserve.
We have worked together to pressure Congress to acknowledge the bipartisan need to care for the 9/11 community suffering from cancers and other health problems after those deadly attacks nearly 20 years ago. Washington moves too slow for the families who need our government’s help. We only got that done last year, and it took all the help people like you were able to provide signing petitions, making phone calls, chipping in to cover costs, and organizing in your local communities.
We’re taking this fight about burn pits to Congress and want to work even more quickly. We want to work together with anyone willing to help those who served in the military and came home feeling abandoned after their government used them to fight wars and risk their lives.
Sign the petition as one step to help provide health care and compensation to those suffering from exposure to toxic burn pits. Let’s fix this and stick up for the families who are fighting for health care and accountability from the same government that sent them into harm’s way.
We will update you on the upcoming bill and other actions you can take as the campaign develops so please stay tuned.

U.S. Forest Fires Aren ’ t At Historic Highs—Not Even Close California ’ s wildfires are a serious matter , but the official record of the United States shows forest fires in the US today are far below the annual average in the 1930s and 1940s .
California wildfires have been in the news in recent weeks .
As I noted Thursday , the Golden State is experiencing one of the worst fire seasons in recent memory .
Newly updated figures from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection show there have been nearly 8,000 wildfires that have burned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Since August 15 , when the state ’ s fire activity elevated sharply , there have been 25 fatalities and some 5,400 structures destroyed .
Despite widespread news coverage , some have argued many do not appreciate the historic severity of the blazes .

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Atlantic who covers climate change and technology , says California has already experienced its worst fire season in state history .
Writing at The Week , Damon Linker proclaimed that the fires represent the dawn of an apocalypse .
Linker cites Meyers and an unnamed friend in Oregon who said he ’ s never seen anything like the recent blazes .
“ We ’ ve always had fires in the West , but never like this .

U.S. Forest Fires Aren’t At Historic Highs—Not Even Close
Written by John Miltimore
California’s wildfires are a serious matter, but the official record of the United States shows forest fires in the US today are far below the annual average in the 1930s and 1940s.
California wildfires have been in the news in recent weeks. As I noted Thursday, the Golden State is experiencing one of the worst fire seasons in recent memory.
Newly updated figures from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection show there have been nearly 8,000 wildfires that have burned more than 3.4 million acres in California.
Since August 15, when the state’s fire activity elevated sharply, there have been 25 fatalities and some 5,400 structures destroyed.
Despite widespread news coverage, some have argued many do not appreciate the historic severity of the blazes.
“There are two dozen fires burning right now that singularly would have been the top story on the national news 10 or 20 years ago,” Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at UCLA and the National Center for Atmospheric Research, told Robinson Meyer.
Meyer, a staff writer at The Atlantic who covers climate change and technology, says California has already experienced its worst fire season in state history.
In the past few months, one in every 33 acres of California has burned. This year is already the most destructive wildfire season, in terms of acreage affected, in state history. In 2018, during California’s last annus horribilis, I noted that six of the 10 largest wildfires in state history had happened since 2008. That list has since been completely rewritten. Today, six of California’s 10 largest wildfires have happened since 2018—and five of them have happened this year.
Writing at The Week, Damon Linker proclaimed that the fires represent the dawn of an apocalypse. Linker cites Meyers and an unnamed friend in Oregon who said he’s never seen anything like the recent blazes.
“We’ve always had fires in the West, but never like this. We’re choking on smoke and ash. It’s happening this year, it happened two years ago, and it happened two years before that. It never once happened before during my lifetime,” Linker’s middle-aged friend says.
“This is definitely a new pattern. And I never heard the phrase ‘fire season’ until a couple of years ago. It certainly wasn’t a thing when I was a kid. I never even saw smoke from a wildfire until I was in my 30s.”
Annie Lowrey, in an article titled “The U.S. Is on the Path to Destruction,” was even more vivid.
“Fires in California and Oregon are incinerating homes, businesses, schools, power lines, and roads,” Lowrey wrote in The Atlantic’s top story on Friday. “Climate hell is here. We cannot stand it. And we cannot afford it either.”
With all due respect to the Cassandras preaching apocalypse and hell on earth, there are two points worth mentioning.
First, as I explained recently, there is widespread agreement that California’s megafires stem largely from decades-long mismanagement of its forests.
As The New York Times explained earlier this month, for more than a century, many firefighting agencies have aggressively focused on extinguishing blazes whenever they occur, a strategy that has often proved counterproductive.
Other parts of the US have shown, the paper said, that less aggressive extinguishing of natural fires and targeted prescribed burning are effective at periodically clearing excess vegetation in forests and grasslands, which essentially serve as the fuel of California’s wildfires.
“The first step is to acknowledge that fire is inevitable, and we have to learn to live with it,” David McWethy, a fire scientist at Montana State University, told the paper.
California has spent decades aggressively preventing fire from doing its natural work, which has made it a virtual tinderbox.
To his credit, Linker at least mentions that “Yes, poor forest management is playing a role” in California’s hot season. But there is a troubling tendency to simply blame the apocalyptic blazes on climate change.
As I pointed out, it’s not unreasonable to assume that both poor land management and California’s high temperatures and arid climate have played a role in the fires. But California is not the only place in America that experiences high temps and dry weather.
Texas actually has more forests and higher temperatures than California, but the Lone Star state rarely struggles with fires, perhaps because 95 percent of its landmass is privately owned and these owners act as responsible stewards of the land.
If climate change was truly the primary culprit of the wildfires, wouldn’t it stand to reason other parts of the US would be suffering similar results? Are there reasons climate change impacts California more than Texas and the Southeast US?
This brings me to my second point. There’s a perception that today’s fires are historically unprecedented.
“Even though the U.S. is only halfway through wildfire season, this year is one of the worst in history,” CNBC reported Friday. “Human-caused climate change has made blazes more frequent and intense, especially during extreme heat waves and drought conditions.”
But, the claim that 2020 is one of the worst in US history is simply not true.
A news story making such a claim might start by telling readers how many acres of land have burned in the record-setting year. CNBC doesn’t. One also sees a second problem: most of its charts don’t include information prior to 1990.
Fortunately, data from the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) offer some answers. So far in 2020, the US has experienced 42,809 total fires that burned a total of 7,015,956.
These numbers are indeed above the ten-year average—45,711 fires and 5,963,782 acres. However, 2020 is unlikely to exceed the number of fires or acreage burned just three years ago in 2017.
Many will argue that 2017 was one of the worst fire seasons in US history, a claim that was reported numerous times during the fires season. But Bjorn Lomborg pointed out these claims were also not true.
“The National Interagency Fire Center curiously – and somewhat conveniently – only shows the annual burnt area back to 1960, when fire suppression indeed was going strong, and hence we had some of the lowest amounts of burnt forests ever,” wrote Lomborg, a Danish author and President of the Copenhagen Consensus Center.

We’ve seen no shortage of crises in 2020, but it’s worth remembering a simple truth: pandemics, riots, and wildfires are nothing new. They have been around as long as humans have.
What’s changing is our response to these phenomena. Each crisis is presented as an opportunity to save humanity, and each requires giving more control to central planners.
Rahm Emmanuel popularized the phrase “Never let a good crisis go to waste,” but it was economist Robert Higgs who showed that crises are the mortal enemy of liberty.
His great work Crisis and Leviathan lays bare the state’s tradition of claiming new powers during emergencies, powers that rarely are relinquished fully when the crisis ends.
Higgs admitted he was worried about the correlation between liberty and crises because he understood a basic truth: there will always be human crises.

principiascientificinternational--2020-09-22--‘Murder By Injection'(1988):The Eustace Mullins Warning for Today

In his prophetic book , ‘ MURDER BY INJECTION-The Story of the Medical Conspiracy Against America ‘ ( 1988 ) Eustace Mullins forewarned of dark forces in America intent on misusing medical care to drastically cull the population .
Derided during his life as a “ conspiracy theorist , ” “ Holocaust Denier ” and “ a one-man organization of hate ” Mullins not only foresaw the COVID19 pandemic scam , he exposed the globalist banking swindle in his best-known book , The Secrets of The Federal Reserve , which correctly identified that corrupt bankers had conspired to write the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ purposes .
Notwithstanding the mainstream media ’ s characterization of him as anti-Jewish , open-minded seekers of truth will recognize that whatever his flaws , Mullins adroitly documented “ the shocking record of these cold-blooded tycoons who not only plan and carry out famines , economic depressions , revolutions and wars , but who also find their greatest profits in their manipulations of our medical care.
” Below we provide the first chapter of ‘ Murder By Injection ‘ to allow readers to assess for themselves the validity of his claims about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ names you know like Rockefeller , JP Morgan , Rothchilds , etc .
and how Big Pharma took control of medical schools , text books , professors chairs and research via “ funding & grants ” for their patent-profit-benefit and control of humanity .
MURDER BY INJECTION The Story of the Medical Conspiracy Against America By EUSTACE MULLINS Chapter 1 The Medical Monopoly The practice of medicine may not be the world ’ s oldest profession , but it is often seen to be operating on much the same principles .
Not only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ getting what he is paying for , but in many instances , he is dismayed to find that he has actually gotten something he had not bargained for .
An examination of the record shows that the actual methods of medical practice have not changed that much through the eons .
The recently discovered Ebers papyrus shows that as early as 1600 B.C.
, more than nine hundred prescriptions were available to the physician , including opium as a pain-killing drug .
As late as 1700 , commonly used medications included cathartics such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ castor oil .
Intestinal worms were treated by aspidium roots ( the male fern ) , pomegranate bark , or wormseed oil .
In the East this was obtained from the flowers of santonin ; in the Western Hemisphere it was pressed from the fruit and leaves of chenopodium .
Analgesics or pain relievers were alcohol , hyoscyamus leaves , and opium .
Hyoscyamus contains scopolamine , used to induce “ twilight sleep ” in modern medicine .
In the sixteenth century , Arabs used colchicum , a saffron derivative , for rheumatic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the source of quinine , was used to treat malaria ; chaulmoogra oil was used for leprosy , and ipecac for amoebic dysentery .
Burned sponge at one time was used as a treatment for goiter ; its content of iodine provided the cure .
Midwives used ergot to contract the uterus .
Some two hundred years ago , the era of modern medicine was ushered in by Sir Humphry Davy ’ s discovery of the anaesthetic properties of nitrous oxide .
Michael Faraday discovered ether , and Wilhelm Surtner isolated morphine from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , doctors practiced as free lance agents , which meant that they assumed all the risks of their decisions .
The poor rarely encountered a doctor , as medical ministrations were generally confined to the rich and powerful .
Curing a monarch could bring great rewards but failing to cure him could be a fatal mistake .
Perhaps it was the awareness of the personal risks of this profession which gave rise to the plan for monopoly , to level out the risks and rewards among a chosen few .
The attempts to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ created a modern plague , while the resolve to maintain this monopoly has cost the public dearly in money and suffering .
8 Almost five centuries ago , one of the first attempts to set up this monopoly took place in England .
The Act of 1511 , signed into law by King Henry the Eighth , in England , made it an offence to practice physic or surgery without the approval of a panel of “ experts.
” This Act was formalized in 1518 with the founding of the Royal College of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surgeons were granted similar powers , when the King granted approval of their company .
They immediately launched a campaign to eliminate the unauthorized practitioners who had served the poor .
Apparently there is nothing new under the sun , as much the same campaign has long been underway in the United States .
This harassment of doctors who served the poor caused such widespread suffering in England that King Henry the 8th was forced to enact the Quacks Charter in 1542 .
This Charter exempted the “ unauthorized practitioners ” and allowed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such charter has ever been granted in the United States , where a “ quack ” is not only an unauthorized practitioner , that is , one who has not been “ approved ” by the American Medical Association or one of the government agencies under its control , but he is also subject to immediate arrest .
It is interesting that the chartering of quacks is not one of the features of English life which was passed on to its American colony .
In 1617 , the Society of Apothecaries was formed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ British Medical Association was chartered ; this became the impetus for the forming of a similar association , the American Medical Association , in the United States .
From its earliest inception , the American Medical Association has had one principal objective , attaining and defending a total monopoly of the practice of medicine in the United States .
From its outset , the AMA made allopathy the basis of its practice .
Allopathy was a type of medicine whose practitioners had received training in a recognized academic school of medicine , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the use of medications .
The leaders of this brand of medicine had been trained in Germany .
They were dedicated to the frequent use of bleeding and heavy doses of drugs .
They were inimical to any form of medicine which had not proceeded from the academies and which did not follow standardized or orthodox procedures .
Allopathy set up an intense rivalry with the prevalent nineteenth school of medicine , the practice of homeopathy .
This school was the creation of a doctor named Christian Hahnemann ( 1755-1843 ) .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ similibus cyrentur , ” like cures like .
Homeopathy is of even greater significance to our time , because it works through the immune system , using nontoxic doses of substances which are similar to those causing the illness .
Even today , Queen Elizabeth is still treated by her personal homeopathic physician at Buckingham Palace .
Yet , in the United States , organized medicine continues its frenetic drive to discredit and stamp out the practice of homeopathic medicine .
Ironically , Dr. George H. Simmons , who dominated the American Medical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that organization into a 9 national power , had for years run advertisements in Lincoln , Nebraska , where he practiced , which proclaimed that he was a “ homeopathic physician.
” Clinical trials have shown that homeopathy is as effective as certain widely prescribed arthritic drugs , and also having the overriding advantage that it produces no harmful side effects .
However , the accomplishments of homeopathy have historically been given the silent treatment , or , if mentioned at all , were greatly misinterpreted or distorted .
A classic case of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ devastating outbreak of cholera in 1854 ; records showed that during this epidemic , deaths at homeopathic hospitals were only 16.4 % , as compared to the death rate of 50 % at the orthodox medical hospitals .
This record was deliberately suppressed by the Board of Health of the City of London .
During the nineteenth century , the practice of homeopathy spread rapidly throughout the United States and Europe .
Dr. Hahnemann had written a textbook , “ Homeopathica Materia Medica , ” which enabled many practitioners to adopt his methods @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Medical Association was founded in the United States , homeopaths outnumbered allopaths , the AMA type of doctors , by more than two to one .
Because of the individualistic nature of the homeopathic profession , and the fact that they usually practiced alone , they were unprepared for the concerted onslaught of the allopaths .
From its beginning , the AMA proved that it was merely a trade lobby , which had been organized for the purpose of stifling competition and driving the homeopaths out of business .
By the early 1900s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this goal , American medicine began to enter its Dark Age .
Only now is it beginning to emerge from those decades of darkness , as a new , holistic movement calls for treating the entire physical system , instead of concentrating on one affected part .
A distinctive feature of the AMA ’ s allopathic school of medicine was its constant self-advertisement and promotion of a myth , the myth that its type of medicine was the only one which was effective .
This pernicious development created a new monster , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infallibility , whose judgment must never be questioned .
Most certainly , his mistakes must never be mentioned .
As Ivan Ilyich has pointed out in his shocking book , “ Medical Nemesis , the Expropriation of Health ” ( 1976 ) , not only has the effectiveness of the allopathic school of medicine proved to be the stuff of mythology , but the doctors have now brought new plagues into being , illnesses which Ilyich defines as “ iatrogenic , ” causing a plague which he terms “ iatrogenesis.
” Ilyich claims @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nation .
He defines iatrogenesis as an “ illness which is caused by a doctor ’ s medical intervention.
” Ilyich goes on to define three commonly encountered types of iatrogenesis ; clinical iatrogenesis , which is a doctor-made illness ; social iatrogenesis , which is deliberately created by the machinations of the medical-industrial complex ; and cultural iatrogenesis , which saps the peoples will to survive .
Of the three 10 types of iatrogenesis , the third may be the most prevalent .
Advertisements for various medications call it “ stress , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of every day life which are caused by the totalitarian government and the sinister figures behind it , who operate it for their own personal gain .
Confronted with this monstrous presence , which intrudes into every aspect of an American citizen ’ s daily life , many people are overcome by a feeling of hopelessness , and are persuaded that there is nothing they can do .
In fact , this monster is extremely vulnerable , because it is so greatly overextended , and when attacked , can be seen to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Lincoln , Nebraska , newspapers years before be obtained his mail order diploma from Rush Medical College .
In this license “ Doc ” Simmons represents himself as a homeopath .
He grew more ambitious in his later advertisements and claimed to be a “ licentiate of Gynecology and Obstetrics from the Rotuuda Hospitals , Dublin .
Ireland ” .
Note the humbug “ Compound Oxygen ” Cure .
Despite the AMA ’ s frenetic claims of improving medical care , records show that the state of American health is declining @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had shown steady improvement , probably because of the ministrations of the homeopaths .
A typical disease of the period was tuberculosis .
In 1812 , the death rate from tuberculosis in New York was 700 per 100,000 .
When Koch isolated the bacillus in 1882 , this death rate had already declined to 370 .
In 1910 , when the first TB sanatarium was opened , this rate had further declined to 180 per 100,000 .

But how was this goal to be achieved ?
The Merlin who was to wave his magic wand and bring about this dramatic development in the medical profession turned out to be none other than the richest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ monopolist , John D. Rockefeller .
Fresh from his triumph of organizing his gigantic oil monopoly , a victory as well-blooded as any ancient Roman triumph , Rockefeller , the creature of the House of Rothschild and its Wall Street emissary , Jacob Schiff , realized that a medical monopoly might bring him even greater profits than his oil trust .
In 1892 , Rockefeller appointed Frederick T. Gates as his agent , conferring upon him the title of “ head of all his philanthropic endeavors.
” As it turned out , each @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” was specifically designed to increase not only his wealth and power , but also the wealth and power of the hidden figures whom he so ably represented .
Frederick T. Gates ’ first present to Rockefeller was a plan to dominate the entire medical education system in the United States .
The initial step was taken by the organization of the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research .
In 1907 , the AMA “ requested ” the Carnegie Foundation to conduct a survey of all the medical schools of the nation .
Even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interests had already achieved substantial working control of the Carnegie Foundations which has been maintained ever since .
It is well known in the foundation world that the Carnegie Foundations ( there are several ) , are merely feeble adjuncts of the Rockefeller Foundation .
The Carnegie Foundation named one Abraham Flexner to head up its study of medical schools .
Coincidentally , his brother Simon was the head of the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research .
The Flexner Report was completed in 1910 , after many months of travel and study .

It was later revealed that the primary influence on Flexner had been his trip to Baltimore .

Gilman had been one of the three original incorporators of the Russell Trust at Yale University ( now known as the Brotherhood of Death ) .

‘Murder By Injection'(1988):The Eustace Mullins Warning for Today
Written by John O'Sullivan
In his prophetic book, ‘MURDER BY INJECTION-The Story of the Medical Conspiracy Against America‘ (1988) Eustace Mullins forewarned of dark forces in America intent on misusing medical care to drastically cull the population.
Derided during his life as a “conspiracy theorist,” “Holocaust Denier” and “a one-man organization of hate” Mullins not only foresaw the COVID19 pandemic scam, he exposed the globalist banking swindle in his best-known book, The Secrets of The Federal Reserve, which correctly identified that corrupt bankers had conspired to write the Federal Reserve Act for their own nefarious purposes.
Notwithstanding the mainstream media’s characterization of him as anti-Jewish, open-minded seekers of truth will recognize that whatever his flaws, Mullins adroitly documented “the shocking record of these cold-blooded tycoons who not only plan and carry out famines, economic depressions, revolutions and wars, but who also find their greatest profits in their manipulations of our medical care.”
Below we provide the first chapter of ‘Murder By Injection‘ to allow readers to assess for themselves the validity of his claims about the Medical Monopoly, the ‘big’ names you know like Rockefeller, JP Morgan, Rothchilds, etc. and how Big Pharma took control of medical schools, text books, professors chairs and research via “funding & grants” for their patent-profit-benefit and control of humanity.
MURDER BY INJECTION
The Story of the Medical Conspiracy
Against America
By
EUSTACE MULLINS
Chapter 1 The Medical Monopoly
The practice of medicine may not be the world’s oldest
profession, but it is often seen to be operating on much the same
principles. Not only does the client wonder if he is getting what he
is paying for, but in many instances, he is dismayed to find that he
has actually gotten something he had not bargained for. An
examination of the record shows that the actual methods of medical
practice have not changed that much through the eons. The recently
discovered Ebers papyrus shows that as early as 1600 B.C., more
than nine hundred prescriptions were available to the physician,
including opium as a pain-killing drug. As late as 1700, commonly
used medications included cathartics such as senna, aloe, figs and
castor oil. Intestinal worms were treated by aspidium roots (the male
fern), pomegranate bark, or wormseed oil. In the East this was
obtained from the flowers of santonin; in the Western Hemisphere it
was pressed from the fruit and leaves of chenopodium.
Analgesics or pain relievers were alcohol, hyoscyamus leaves,
and opium. Hyoscyamus contains scopolamine, used to induce
“twilight sleep” in modern medicine. In the sixteenth century, Arabs
used colchicum, a saffron derivative, for rheumatic pains and gout.
Cinchona bark, the source of quinine, was used to treat malaria;
chaulmoogra oil was used for leprosy, and ipecac for amoebic
dysentery. Burned sponge at one time was used as a treatment for
goiter; its content of iodine provided the cure. Midwives used ergot
to contract the uterus. Some two hundred years ago, the era of
modern medicine was ushered in by Sir Humphry Davy’s discovery
of the anaesthetic properties of nitrous oxide. Michael Faraday
discovered ether, and Wilhelm Surtner isolated morphine from
opium.
Until the late nineteenth century, doctors practiced as free lance
agents, which meant that they assumed all the risks of their
decisions. The poor rarely encountered a doctor, as medical
ministrations were generally confined to the rich and powerful.
Curing a monarch could bring great rewards but failing to cure him
could be a fatal mistake. Perhaps it was the awareness of the
personal risks of this profession which gave rise to the plan for
monopoly, to level out the risks and rewards among a chosen few.
The attempts to build up this medical monopoly have now created a
modern plague, while the resolve to maintain this monopoly has cost
the public dearly in money and suffering.
8
Almost five centuries ago, one of the first attempts to set up this
monopoly took place in England. The Act of 1511, signed into law
by King Henry the Eighth, in England, made it an offence to
practice physic or surgery without the approval of a panel of
“experts.” This Act was formalized in 1518 with the founding of the
Royal College of Physicians. In 1540, barbers and surgeons were
granted similar powers, when the King granted approval of their
company. They immediately launched a campaign to eliminate the
unauthorized practitioners who had served the poor. Apparently
there is nothing new under the sun, as much the same campaign has
long been underway in the United States. This harassment of doctors
who served the poor caused such widespread suffering in England
that King Henry the 8th was forced to enact the Quacks Charter in
1542. This Charter exempted the “unauthorized practitioners” and
allowed them to continue their ministrations. No such charter has
ever been granted in the United States, where a “quack” is not only
an unauthorized practitioner, that is, one who has not been
“approved” by the American Medical Association or one of the
government agencies under its control, but he is also subject to
immediate arrest. It is interesting that the chartering of quacks is not
one of the features of English life which was passed on to its
American colony.
In 1617, the Society of Apothecaries was formed in England. In
1832, the British Medical Association was chartered; this became
the impetus for the forming of a similar association, the American
Medical Association, in the United States. From its earliest
inception, the American Medical Association has had one principal
objective, attaining and defending a total monopoly of the practice
of medicine in the United States. From its outset, the AMA made
allopathy the basis of its practice. Allopathy was a type of medicine
whose practitioners had received training in a recognized academic
school of medicine, and who relied heavily on surgical procedures
and the use of medications. The leaders of this brand of medicine
had been trained in Germany. They were dedicated to the frequent
use of bleeding and heavy doses of drugs. They were inimical to any
form of medicine which had not proceeded from the academies and
which did not follow standardized or orthodox procedures.
Allopathy set up an intense rivalry with the prevalent
nineteenth school of medicine, the practice of homeopathy. This
school was the creation of a doctor named Christian Hahnemann
(1755-1843). It was based on his formula, “similibus cyrentur,” like
cures like. Homeopathy is of even greater significance to our time,
because it works through the immune system, using nontoxic doses
of substances which are similar to those causing the illness. Even
today, Queen Elizabeth is still treated by her personal homeopathic
physician at Buckingham Palace. Yet, in the United States,
organized medicine continues its frenetic drive to discredit and
stamp out the practice of homeopathic medicine. Ironically, Dr.
George H. Simmons, who dominated the American Medical
Association from 1899 to 1924, building that organization into a
9
national power, had for years run advertisements in Lincoln,
Nebraska, where he practiced, which proclaimed that he was a
“homeopathic physician.”
Clinical trials have shown that homeopathy is as effective as
certain widely prescribed arthritic drugs, and also having the
overriding advantage that it produces no harmful side effects.
However, the accomplishments of homeopathy have historically
been given the silent treatment, or, if mentioned at all, were greatly
misinterpreted or distorted. A classic case of this technique occurred
in England during the devastating outbreak of cholera in 1854;
records showed that during this epidemic, deaths at homeopathic
hospitals were only 16.4%, as compared to the death rate of 50% at
the orthodox medical hospitals. This record was deliberately
suppressed by the Board of Health of the City of London.
During the nineteenth century, the practice of homeopathy
spread rapidly throughout the United States and Europe. Dr.
Hahnemann had written a textbook, “Homeopathica Materia
Medica,” which enabled many practitioners to adopt his methods.
In 1847, when the American Medical Association was founded
in the United States, homeopaths outnumbered allopaths, the AMA
type of doctors, by more than two to one. Because of the
individualistic nature of the homeopathic profession, and the fact
that they usually practiced alone, they were unprepared for the
concerted onslaught of the allopaths. From its beginning, the AMA
proved that it was merely a trade lobby, which had been organized
for the purpose of stifling competition and driving the homeopaths
out of business. By the early 1900s, as the AMA began to achieve
this goal, American medicine began to enter its Dark Age. Only now
is it beginning to emerge from those decades of darkness, as a new,
holistic movement calls for treating the entire physical system,
instead of concentrating on one affected part.
A distinctive feature of the AMA’s allopathic school of
medicine was its constant self-advertisement and promotion of a
myth, the myth that its type of medicine was the only one which was
effective. This pernicious development created a new monster, the
mad doctor as a person of absolute infallibility, whose judgment
must never be questioned. Most certainly, his mistakes must never
be mentioned. As Ivan Ilyich has pointed out in his shocking book,
“Medical Nemesis, the Expropriation of Health” (1976), not only
has the effectiveness of the allopathic school of medicine proved to
be the stuff of mythology, but the doctors have now brought new
plagues into being, illnesses which Ilyich defines as “iatrogenic,”
causing a plague which he terms “iatrogenesis.” Ilyich claims that
this plague is now sweeping this nation. He defines iatrogenesis as
an “illness which is caused by a doctor’s medical intervention.”
Ilyich goes on to define three commonly encountered types of
iatrogenesis; clinical iatrogenesis, which is a doctor-made illness;
social iatrogenesis, which is deliberately created by the
machinations of the medical-industrial complex; and cultural
iatrogenesis, which saps the peoples will to survive. Of the three
10
types of iatrogenesis, the third may be the most prevalent.
Advertisements for various medications call it “stress,” the difficulty
of surmounting the problems of every day life which are caused by
the totalitarian government and the sinister figures behind it, who
operate it for their own personal gain. Confronted with this
monstrous presence, which intrudes into every aspect of an
American citizen’s daily life, many people are overcome by a feeling
of hopelessness, and are persuaded that there is nothing they can do.
In fact, this monster is extremely vulnerable, because it is so greatly
overextended, and when attacked, can be seen to be a paper tiger.
This advertisement appeared in the Lincoln, Nebraska, newspapers years before be
obtained his mail order diploma from Rush Medical College. In this license “Doc”
Simmons represents himself as a homeopath. He grew more ambitious in his later
advertisements and claimed to be a “licentiate of Gynecology and Obstetrics from the
Rotuuda Hospitals, Dublin. Ireland”. Note the humbug “Compound Oxygen” Cure.
Despite the AMA’s frenetic claims of improving medical care,
records show that the state of American health is declining. During
the nineteenth century, it had shown steady improvement, probably
because of the ministrations of the homeopaths. A typical disease of
the period was tuberculosis. In 1812, the death rate from
tuberculosis in New York was 700 per 100,000. When Koch
isolated the bacillus in 1882, this death rate had already declined to
370. In 1910, when the first TB sanatarium was opened, this rate
had further declined to 180 per 100,000. By 1950, this death rate
had dropped to 50 per 100,000. Medical records prove that a 90%
11
decline in child mortality from scarlet fever, diptheria, whooping
cough and measles occurred before the introduction of antibiotics
and immunization, from 1860-1896. This was also well before the
Food and Drug Act was passed in 1905, which set up governmental
control of interstate commerce in drugs. In 1900, there was only one
doctor for every 750 Americans. They had usually served a two year
apprenticeship, after which they could look forward to earning about
the same salary as a good mechanic. In 1900, the AMA Journal,
which was already under the editorship of Dr. George H. Simmons,
sounded the call to arms. “The growth of the profession must be
stemmed if individual members are to find the practice of medicine
a lucrative profession.” One would find difficulty in reading in the
literature of any profession a more determined demand for
monopoly. But how was this goal to be achieved? The Merlin who
was to wave his magic wand and bring about this dramatic
development in the medical profession turned out to be none other
than the richest man in the world, the insatiable monopolist, John D.
Rockefeller. Fresh from his triumph of organizing his gigantic oil
monopoly, a victory as well-blooded as any ancient Roman triumph,
Rockefeller, the creature of the House of Rothschild and its Wall
Street emissary, Jacob Schiff, realized that a medical monopoly
might bring him even greater profits than his oil trust. In 1892,
Rockefeller appointed Frederick T. Gates as his agent, conferring
upon him the title of “head of all his philanthropic endeavors.” As it
turned out, each of Rockefeller’s well-publicized “philanthropies”
was specifically designed to increase not only his wealth and power,
but also the wealth and power of the hidden figures whom he so
ably represented.
Frederick T. Gates’ first present to Rockefeller was a plan to
dominate the entire medical education system in the United States.
The initial step was taken by the organization of the Rockefeller
Institute of Medical Research. In 1907, the AMA “requested” the
Carnegie Foundation to conduct a survey of all the medical schools
of the nation. Even at this early date, the Rockefeller interests had
already achieved substantial working control of the Carnegie
Foundations which has been maintained ever since. It is well known
in the foundation world that the Carnegie Foundations (there are
several), are merely feeble adjuncts of the Rockefeller Foundation.
The Carnegie Foundation named one Abraham Flexner to head up
its study of medical schools. Coincidentally, his brother Simon was
the head of the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research. The
Flexner Report was completed in 1910, after many months of travel
and study. It was heavily influenced by the German-trained
allopathic representation in the American medical profession. It was
later revealed that the primary influence on Flexner had been his trip
to Baltimore. He had been a graduate of Johns Hopkins University.
This school had been established by Daniel Coit Gilman (1831-
1908). Gilman had been one of the three original incorporators of
the Russell Trust at Yale University (now known as the Brotherhood
of Death). Its Yale headquarters had a letter in German authorizing
12
Gilman to set up this branch of the Illuminati in the United States.
Gilman incorporated the Peabody Fund and the John Slater Fund,
which later became the Rockefeller Foundation. Gilman also
became an original incorporator of Rockefeller’s General Education
Board, which was to take over the United States system of medical
education; the Carnegie Foundation and the Russell Sage
Foundation. At Johns Hopkins University. Gilman also taught
Richard Ely, who became the evil genius of Woodrow Wilson’s
education. Gil man’s final achievement in the last year of his life
was to advise Herbert Hoover on the advisability of setting up a
think tank. Hoover later followed Gilman’s plan in setting up the
Hoover Institution after the First World War. This institution
furnished the movers and shapers of the “Reagan Revolution” in
Washington. Not surprisingly, the American people found
themselves saddled with even more debt and an even more
oppressive federal bureaucracy, all the result of Daniel Coit
Gilman’s Illuminati prospectus.
Flexner spent much of his time at Johns Hopkins University
finalizing his report. The medical school, which had only been
established in 1893, was considered to be very up-to-date. It was
also the headquarters of the German allopathic school of medicine
in the United States. Flexner, born in Louisville, Ky., had studied at
the University of Berlin. The president of the Zionist Organization
of America, Louis Brandies, also from Louisville, was an old friend
of the Flexner family. After Woodrow Wilson appointed Brandeis to
the Supreme Court, Brandeis appointed himself a delegate to Paris
to attend the Versailles Peace Conference in 1918. His purpose was
to advance the goals of the Zionist movement at this conference.
Bernard Flexner, who was then an attorney in New York, was asked
to accompany Brandeis as the official legal counsel to the Zionist
delegation in Paris. Bernard Flexner later became a founding
member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and a trustee of the
Rockefeller Foundation with his brother Simon.
Simon Flexner had been appointed the first director of the
Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research at its organization in
1903. Abraham Flexner joined the Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching in 1908, serving there until his retirement
in 1928. He also served for years as a member of Rockefeller’s
General Education Board. He was awarded a Rhodes Memorial
lectureship at Oxford University. His definitive work was published
in 1913, “Prostitution in Europe.”
Abraham Flexner submitted a final report to Rockefeller which
apparently was satisfactory in every way. Its first point was an
emphatic agreement with the AMA’s lament that there were too
many doctors. The Flexner solution was a simple one; to make
medical education so elitist and expensive, and so drawn out, that
most students would be prohibited from even considering a medical
career. The Flexner program set up requirements for four years of
undergraduate college, and a further four years of medical school.
His report also set up complex requirements for the medical schools;
13
they must have expensive laboratories and other equipment. As the
requirements of the Flexner Report became effective, the number of
medical schools was rapidly reduced. By the end of World War I,
the number of medical schools had been reduced from 650 to a mere
50 in number. The number of annual graduates had been reduced
from 7500 to 2500. The enactment of the Flexner restrictions
virtually guaranteed that the Medical Monopoly in the United States
would result in a small group of elitist students from well to do
families, and that this small group would be subjected to intense
controls.
What has the Flexner Report cost the average American
citizen? Some recent statistics throw light on the situation. The New
York Times reported that in 1985, the cost of health care per person
in the United States was $1800 per year; in England, $800 per year;
in Japan, $600 per year. Yet both England and Japan rank higher on
the scale of quality of medical care than the United States.
Compared to Japan, for instance, which has a higher living standard
than the United States, but which furnished its citizens with quality
medical care for $600 per person each year, comparative medical
care in the United States cannot be valued higher than $500 per year
per person. What is the $1300 per person difference? It is the $300
billion per year looting of the American public by the Medical
Monopoly, in overcharges, criminal syndicalist activities, and the
operations of the Drug Trust.

The Electric Car Investor Bubble is About to Burst It was the kind of truck the Terminator might drive – at least when he needed extra cash .
Sleek , silent , and faintly sinister , the Skynet-esque lorry , filmed speeding through an American desert in 2018 , seemed proof of its maker ’ s technological prowess .
“ Behold , ” boasted the electric vehicle ( EV ) company Nikola .
“ The 1,000 HP , zero-emission Nikola One semi-truck in motion.
” The claim was technically true .
The lorry was indeed moving .
But as the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was moving because it had been towed up a hill and then left to roll .
“ Nikola never stated its truck was driving under its own propulsion in the video , ” a spokesman defiantly declared .
“ As Nikola pivoted to the next generation of trucks , it ultimately decided not to invest additional resources into completing the process to make the Nikola One drive on its own propulsion.
” After the admission forced Nikola ’ s chairman and founder Trevor Milton to resign , shares in the company plunged on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bigger than just one firm .
The news – part of a bombshell report by the short-selling investment firm Hindenburg Research , whose conclusions Nikola dismissed as “ false and misleading ” – came just days after General Motors agreed to invest $ 2bn ( £1.53bn ) into Nikola .
Throw a briefcase full of cash in Silicon Valley today and you will hit an EV company , many racing towards an early public float .
There is Rivian , Nio , Fisker , Workhorse , Lordstown Motors , XPeng , and of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this year has dragged many imitators behind it .
But as the original EV pioneer prepares for its latest “ battery day ” on Tuesday , when it will hold its annual meeting and show off new ideas , whispers of a bubble are only growing .
Tesla ’ s own history of failed predictions hardly helps matters .
“ It looks awful , ” says Reilly Brennan of the San Francisco venture capitalist firm Trucks VC , referring to Nikola ’ s ordeal .
“ This is the warning shot of how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over the coming decades .
And it could very well be that some of these companies are overvalued.
” He points in particular to neophyte EV makers who are using unconventional corporate structures to float in a rush .
Both Fisker and Lordstown plan to become public companies via special purpose acquisition vehicles , or SPACs – ersatz shell firms created purely to raise money through an initial public offering ( IPO ) and then buy the original firm outright .
“ You have a lot of companies that have come out , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ IPO in a traditional sort of year , and have used SPACs to come around , come through a different door and raise more capital , ” says Brennan .
“ The future of the car business is increasingly electric [ and ] zero-emission .
[ But ] my concern is that a lot of these companies are coming out and raising money from the public markets .
It ’ s clear it ’ s a little bit early for them to be doing so.
” In part , Brennan attributes the problem @ @ @ @ @ @ @ EVs – often underestimated amidst a hail of optimistic promises about our shiny green future .
He says that ringing new models to production requires such prodigious amounts of cash – at least “ ten figures ” – that Silicon Valley investors are often tapped dry .
Next up are sovereign wealth funds and international investors ; and after that , public markets .
But Brennan believes that “ many ” EV makers are “ undercapitalized ” even after that – such as Canoo , which is “ not only building a whole @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clean sheet of paper.
” A prime example of this problem is Faraday Future , an ambitious electric car business whose Chinese billionaire chief executive filed for bankruptcy in 2019 .
His lawyers said in court that his personal bankruptcy scuppered a meeting with a sovereign wealth fund which had seemed poised to bankroll the business .
Other businesses in the space have been accused of going beyond generating hype and instead engaged in outright lying .

The claim was technically true. The lorry was indeed moving. But as the Arizona-based start-up admitted last week, it was moving because it had been towed up a hill and then left to roll.
“Nikola never stated its truck was driving under its own propulsion in the video,” a spokesman defiantly declared.
“As Nikola pivoted to the next generation of trucks, it ultimately decided not to invest additional resources into completing the process to make the Nikola One drive on its own propulsion.”
After the admission forced Nikola’s chairman and founder Trevor Milton to resign, shares in the company plunged on Monday.
But the implications were much bigger than just one firm. The news – part of a bombshell report by the short-selling investment firm Hindenburg Research, whose conclusions Nikola dismissed as “false and misleading” – came just days after General Motors agreed to invest $2bn (£1.53bn) into Nikola.
Throw a briefcase full of cash in Silicon Valley today and you will hit an EV company, many racing towards an early public float.
There is Rivian, Nio, Fisker, Workhorse, Lordstown Motors, XPeng, and of course Tesla, whose breathtaking stock rally this year has dragged many imitators behind it.
But as the original EV pioneer prepares for its latest “battery day” on Tuesday, when it will hold its annual meeting and show off new ideas, whispers of a bubble are only growing. Tesla’s own history of failed predictions hardly helps matters.
“It looks awful,” says Reilly Brennan of the San Francisco venture capitalist firm Trucks VC, referring to Nikola’s ordeal. “This is the warning shot of how eventually things are going to roll out over the coming decades. And it could very well be that some of these companies are overvalued.”
He points in particular to neophyte EV makers who are using unconventional corporate structures to float in a rush.
Both Fisker and Lordstown plan to become public companies via special purpose acquisition vehicles, or SPACs – ersatz shell firms created purely to raise money through an initial public offering (IPO) and then buy the original firm outright.
“You have a lot of companies that have come out, who previously could not have done an IPO in a traditional sort of year, and have used SPACs to come around, come through a different door and raise more capital,” says Brennan.
“The future of the car business is increasingly electric [and] zero-emission. [But] my concern is that a lot of these companies are coming out and raising money from the public markets. It’s clear it’s a little bit early for them to be doing so.”
In part, Brennan attributes the problem to the sheer expense of developing new EVs – often underestimated amidst a hail of optimistic promises about our shiny green future.
He says that ringing new models to production requires such prodigious amounts of cash – at least “ten figures” – that Silicon Valley investors are often tapped dry.
Next up are sovereign wealth funds and international investors; and after that, public markets. But Brennan believes that “many” EV makers are “undercapitalized” even after that – such as Canoo, which is “not only building a whole new vehicle but building it from a clean sheet of paper.”
A prime example of this problem is Faraday Future, an ambitious electric car business whose Chinese billionaire chief executive filed for bankruptcy in 2019. His lawyers said in court that his personal bankruptcy scuppered a meeting with a sovereign wealth fund which had seemed poised to bankroll the business.
Other businesses in the space have been accused of going beyond generating hype and instead engaged in outright lying.

principiascientificinternational--2020-09-23--The Secret Funding of the Global Warming Movement

The Secret Funding of the Global Warming Movement This article is the first in a multi-part series that aims to expose where at least some of the money is coming from to support the “ climate change ” movement while alerting readers to foreign interference in our grasp at energy independence .
When one starts to hunt for who funds the global warming movement , it quickly evolves into a convoluted rabbit hole with countless branches designed to confound .
The very idea that deliberate obfuscation exists when trying to follow the money should signal that the intentions of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hardly noble .
One of the major hubs is the Sea Change Foundation , a tax-exempt 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) with over $ 250 million in assets as of 2018 .
Almost every year since its creation in 2006 , its founders have contributed millions to it .
In 2018 , its founders contributed over $ 53 million through four separate entities .
This would be the same Sea Change Foundation whose website is about as deliberately obscure as possible .
Who are the founders ?
Nathaniel and Laura Simons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ personally and through three separate trusts , and they are usually the only direct contributors .
That doesn ’ t mean there aren ’ t other contributors to those three trusts , however .
As the Guardian revealed in 2017 , those trusts are actually sub-trusts of a massive Bermuda trust created by Simons ’ father , James , known as the Lord Jim Trust .
One of the Democratic party ’ s top donors has spent decades building a hidden offshore fortune of more than $ 8bn in the tax haven of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ James Simons , a hedge fund magnate who spent $ 11m in support of Hillary Clinton ’ s 2016 presidential campaign , amassed investment profits in the Lord Jim Trust , a vast private wealth fund set up on the Atlantic island in 1974 .

Bermuda imposes no taxes on profits or income .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Paradise Papers , millions of leaked offshore files reviewed by the Guardian , the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists ( ICIJ ) and others .
The files give a rare glimpse inside trusts used by the super-rich to ensure confidentiality and minimal regulation .
As the article notes , Bermuda has no tax on income or investment gains , and offshore trusts are often used to conceal massive wealth .
As long as the money isn ’ t used for personal benefit , the trust can and apparently has been funneling money to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sub-trusts .
Simons himself made his fortune running the Renaissance Technologies , “ a quantitative investment management company trading in global financial markets , dedicated to producing exceptional returns for its investors by strictly adhering to mathematical and statistical methods ” hedge fund , which currently manages over $ 100 billion .
You ’ d never know it , but Renaissance was also among the largest federal campaign donors , with virtually all donations going to Democrats in 2020 .
The firm contributed more than $ 33 million during the 2016 election cycle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ big business only contributes to Republicans , think again .
Sea Change also received $ 13 million in 2010 , and $ 10 million in 2011 from a mysterious entity known only as Klein Ltd. , another Bermuda firm : A shadowy Bermudan company that has funneled tens of millions of dollars to anti-fracking environmentalist groups in the United States is run by executives with deep ties to Russian oil interests and offshore money laundering schemes involving members of President Vladimir Putin ’ s inner circle .

Klein , they said , donated money to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ environmental activists .

The only question is why did it take so long to come clean , so to speak ?

The Secret Funding of the Global Warming Movement
Written by Robert Morton
This article is the first in a multi-part series that aims to expose where at least some of the money is coming from to support the “climate change” movement while alerting readers to foreign interference in our grasp at energy independence.
When one starts to hunt for who funds the global warming movement, it quickly evolves into a convoluted rabbit hole with countless branches designed to confound.
The very idea that deliberate obfuscation exists when trying to follow the money should signal that the intentions of the Global Warming Alarmists (GWAs) are hardly noble.
One of the major hubs is the Sea Change Foundation, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) with over $250 million in assets as of 2018. Almost every year since its creation in 2006, its founders have contributed millions to it.
In 2018, its founders contributed over $53 million through four separate entities. This would be the same Sea Change Foundation whose website is about as deliberately obscure as possible.
Who are the founders? Nathaniel and Laura Simons. They usually give to Sea Change personally and through three separate trusts, and they are usually the only direct contributors.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t other contributors to those three trusts, however. As the Guardian revealed in 2017, those trusts are actually sub-trusts of a massive Bermuda trust created by Simons’ father, James, known as the Lord Jim Trust.
One of the Democratic party’s top donors has spent decades building a hidden offshore fortune of more than $8bn in the tax haven of Bermuda, according to leaked documents. James Simons, a hedge fund magnate who spent $11m in support of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, amassed investment profits in the Lord Jim Trust, a vast private wealth fund set up on the Atlantic island in 1974. Confidential legal files from 2010 show lawyers and advisers for Simons worked to protect him and his children from “particularly severe” US tax bills that would be triggered if they tried to bring the funds onshore. Bermuda imposes no taxes on profits or income. The Simons trust was revealed in the Paradise Papers, millions of leaked offshore files reviewed by the Guardian, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and others. The files give a rare glimpse inside trusts used by the super-rich to ensure confidentiality and minimal regulation.
As the article notes, Bermuda has no tax on income or investment gains, and offshore trusts are often used to conceal massive wealth.
As long as the money isn’t used for personal benefit, the trust can and apparently has been funneling money to the patriarch’s children’s sub-trusts.
Simons himself made his fortune running the Renaissance Technologies, “a quantitative investment management company trading in global financial markets, dedicated to producing exceptional returns for its investors by strictly adhering to mathematical and statistical methods” hedge fund, which currently manages over $100 billion.
You’d never know it, but Renaissance was also among the largest federal campaign donors, with virtually all donations going to Democrats in 2020.
The firm contributed more than $33 million during the 2016 election cycle. So for any Democrats who think big business only contributes to Republicans, think again.
Sea Change also received $13 million in 2010, and $10 million in 2011 from a mysterious entity known only as Klein Ltd., another Bermuda firm:
A shadowy Bermudan company that has funneled tens of millions of dollars to anti-fracking environmentalist groups in the United States is run by executives with deep ties to Russian oil interests and offshore money laundering schemes involving members of President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle. One of those executives, Nicholas Hoskins, is a director at a hedge fund management firm that has invested heavily in Russian oil and gas. He is also senior counsel at the Bermudan law firm Wakefield Quin and the vice president of a London-based investment firm whose president until recently chaired the board of the state-owned Russian oil company Rosneft. In addition to those roles, Hoskins is a director at a company called Klein Ltd. No one knows where that firm’s money comes from. Its only publicly documented activities have been transfers of $23 million to U.S. environmentalist groups that push policies that would hamstring surging American oil and gas production, which has hurt Russia’s energy-reliant economy.
Klein was highlighted in a 2014 minority report from the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.
Following that report, Rep. Lamar Smith and Rep. Randy Weber from Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, wrote a letter to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin in 2017.
The letter alleged that Klein Ltd. may receive money from Russian interests intent on disrupting U.S. fracking operations. Klein, they said, donated money to Sea Change which then donates to other environmental activists.
It wasn’t until July of 2018 that Nathan Simons publicly acknowledged that he was the sole director of Klein and that it never received any contributions from non-family sources.
That is, Klein Ltd. was probably another sub-trust of the Lord Jim Trust, and was also renamed to Sea Change Foundation International.
In a statement released to Inside Philanthropy, Nat Simons also stated that Klein Ltd.—a Bermuda-based entity that contributed to Sea Change and has drawn speculation about foreign funding of environmentalists—is directed solely by him and funded exclusively by Simons family wealth. Klein has been renamed Sea Change Foundation International, and will continue as a Bermuda-based philanthropy that shares the mission of the couple’s stateside foundation. “I wish to clarify that press reports speculating that Klein has received funding from outside sources are factually incorrect and have no basis. Neither Klein nor Sea Change Foundation has ever solicited or accepted contributions from non-family related sources,” Simons said.
The only question is why did it take so long to come clean, so to speak?
Now that we’ve apparently traced the rabbit hole’s entrance back to the Lord Jim Trust, the next question is who is also at the center of the Sea Change hub, and what Sea Change does.
The 2014 Senate report is the place to begin, where its scathing exposé detailed how the Sea Change Foundation and others utilize so-called “charitable giving” to influence energy policy and support GWAs:
…an elite group of left wing millionaires and billionaires, which this report refers to as the “Billionaire’s Club,” who directs and controls the far-left environmental movement, which in turn controls major policy decisions and lobbies on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Even more unsettling, a dominant organization in this movement is Sea Change Foundation… In turn, Sea Change funnels tens of millions of dollars to other large but discreet foundations and prominent environmental activists who strive to control both policy and politics.
As a 501(c)(3), the trustees can invest the funds and then give as much as they like to whomever they like. Unlike actual charitable foundations, however, the grants are only given to those who operate in concert with the donor’s political agenda. These are the entities that Sea Change “donates” to.
So who is helping the Simonses pass all this money around since they are the only directors? There is a staff that comes from a firm known as Tempest Advisors which is, of course, another entity with no apparent website.
It is a limited liability corporation based in Redwood City and offers “Administrative Management and Consulting Services” according to its annual corporate filing. Its executive director is someone named Tom Steinbach.
Tom is an expert in developing and implementing philanthropic strategies to address complex social and environmental challenges, and has more than 30 years of experience in philanthropy, the non-profit sector, and government. Prior to joining Tempest Advisors, Tom was Environment Program Director at the Hewlett Foundation and Executive Director of the Greenbelt Alliance.
Brigid McCormack is the Deputy Director, who was the Executive Director of Audobon California, VP for External Affairs at the ClimateWorks Foundation. The remaining individuals all have policy, finance, energy, and philanthropic backgrounds.
The only other information available regards a company that may or may not be the same entity. TempestAdvisors.com exists but has no website, a Facebook page says it is located in Bulgaria, and another page says:
The firm provides economic analysis and studies, merger and acquisition, divesture, joint venture, recapitalization, spin-off, and corporate restructuring advisory services. It offers due diligence, business valuation, strategy formulation, profit optimization planning, industry and sector research, damage analysis, forecasting, litigation support, initial screening, funding need assessment, project proposal preparation and management, and research work publicizing services. Additionally, the firm provides written analysis on economic, business, and social issues. It caters to private organizations and governments. Tempest Advisors EOOD is based in Varna, Bulgaria.
A job search listing describes Tempest as offering “Consulting support is focused on the serious threat posed by climate change and the role of philanthropy in climate change mitigation.”
Sea Change’s website suggests that Tempest exists for the sole purpose of “providing professional philanthropic series to Simon family philanthropic entities.”
Thus far, we’ve found an entrance to the rabbit hole, and its primary hub in the form of Sea Change, as well as a side chamber of its advisors from Tempest. Next time, we’ll dig into the branches that lead from Sea Change to the recipients of its donations.
