In the Live Free or Die state, there are generally no restrictions for carrying any weapons. Granite Staters may legally carry pistols and rifles open or concealed. However, brass knuckles remain illegal to carry. Last year, the House passed House Bill 31, which would have eliminated the carrying of brass knuckles and similar self-defense tools from the list of crimes in the books. The Senate killed the bill with a voice vote. This year, ten Republican legislators proposed House Bill 1276. It again passed the House, and it is now in the Senate.

It is amazing to me that at the same time the “Me Too Movement” was at its height, The Book 50 Shades of Gray, about a sociopathic power-driven millionaire abusing a willing female participant, was a best seller! Could this same dichotomy be in play between the legislative power brokers and the citizens of NH?

Lately, my constituents and a growing list of friends across the aisle have been writing to me with great abandon. It looks like some of the same actors, plus a few new ones, have stepped up for the sequel “How to Destroy Voter Confidence, Accountability, and Enforcement” (HB 463—fn. Election Portal bill @$550,000).

Swinging the whip is Senator “50 Shades of” Gray, Representative Ross “ITL” Berry, Sec of State Scandal, and a new character Sen. (AWFL) – Altschiller ( Urban dictionary – AWFL; affluent white female liberal)

HB 463 is a carry-over from 2023 – pushed by fellow Democrat colleagues. We are still learning more about the apparent deal between the House election law committee citizen voter abuser “ITL” Berry and Sen “50 Shades of” Gray and AWFL. (Final Vote on HB 463 not yet announced as of this writing). Guess who also Cui Bono (who benefits)?  Secretary Of State Scandal as his power quietly becomes centralized, to which he has recently reassured key Democrats in the last few weeks meetings.

In case you voted for HB 463 (the online voter portal bill) last time around, let me offer some of the most egregious insights from the voters who have written, texted, and called me. Maybe you will change your mind and honor our oaths on the final bill.

The legal and accepted definition of an affidavit can be found in RSA 659:30 and RSA 659.50 processing affidavit – absentee ballots. HB 463, as written, violates these laws. Most bizarre, HB463 makes the applicant’s phone number and email address – exempt from the Right to Know law RSA 654:31a

So, since when and why are we voting to violate our oath of office by not following the legal definition and the law? In HB463, the new voter simply self-identifies their affidavits of NH residency and citizenship – online (not required to have town clerks verification – in person) for this identification process. What could possibly go wrong at a time when illegal immigration has been identified as the #1 issue of the American voter and our sister states are giving out US driver’s licenses (no proof of citizenship)? This will violate & dilute the sovereign voting rights of the NH citizens and taxpayers.

HB 463 also does not identify if there will be any third-party access to our voter rolls—a big security issue, oversight, safeguards, programming, etc. Recently, in NY, an online portal that 63 counties audited had embedded coding to create a large web of fake voters.

Cui Bono—not our NH Voters. Our most basic constitutional and sovereign voting rights are being sacrificed on the shady altar of efficiency over security and accountability. In my review, I see no right of efficiency in the New Hampshire or US Constitution. Do YOU!

Vote no on HB 463. Stop the whipping and abuse of New Hampshire citizens, voters, and taxpayers.

You will notice the (II) in the author title. I have added an “II” to indicate that a second person has joined me, and hopefully, more will follow!

Do you know the old saying that he who defines the terms of the debate wins the debate? Apparently, the NHGOP does not. The NHGOP continues to treat WMUR and its “political director” like journalists when it is undisputable that WMUR is simply an arm of the New Hampshire Democrat Party and Adam Sexton is an imposter.

The issue honestly described is biological boys/males competing against biological girls/women in school sports. Yet how does WMUR choose to frame the debate … it’s about discriminating against trans-athletes, which … surprise! surprise! surprise! … is exactly how the NHDP wants to frame the debate:

But never a word from the NHGOP’s “leaders” about the obvious agenda and bias of WMUR. They apparently do NOT believe that Republicans should fight back against media bias. Lose gracefully! Slava Ukraine! Lose gracefully! Slava Ukraine! Meanwhile:

New Hampshire has about 18 miles of coast along the Atlantic Ocean. The port of Portsmouth, still a working port, much to the chagrin of the new residents there, leads into the Great Bay and Little Bay watershed. Over the years, it has seen its share of controversy.

The featured Image is an original artwork used with permission from a local artist: David Riina.com

I remember in the early 1970s, Aristotle Onassis was going to put the largest oil refinery in the world in Great Bay. Piping oil from the Isle of Shoals to a refinery in Great Bay in Durham. The environmentalists opposed it, politicians ran on it, and it died. Then, the Seabrook Nuclear Station brought the legendary Clamshell Alliance into being. A 20,000-person occupation took place. Musicians held vigil (I still hear “NO NUKES” in my head”), songs were written, and people were arrested. The nuke plant prevailed but with many prohibiting factors, some of them good. A tragic oil spill in the Bay during the mid-70s traveled to all the towns along every connecting river, which brought bleeding hearts from all over the country to save the wildlife, among other events.

New Hampshire has always been protective of their small but great connection to the Atlantic. The latest barrage of saviors is bringing new restrictions on people with roofs and farms for nitrogen, phosphates, and other human interactions that they say are killing all grass in the Bay and poisoning the Atlantic with absolutely no detailed, long-term studies or proof.

Yet, with all the issues we have to deal with environmentalists today, I am absolutely astonished by the Off Shore Wind Farms (OSW) and the dead ocean mammals (4 dolphins in 2 days this past weekend) floating in the ocean and washing up on the beaches where OSW is built and under construction, receives “crickets”… No bull horns, no boats circling the windmills, no spray paint, no protests at the companies (and government) responsible, no songs, nothing. It is the opposite! Local Portsmouth non-profits such as this group, Seacoast Anti-pollution League, promote OSW and say, “Sea creatures have much worse things to worry about like pollution, overfishing/fishing gear, and climate disruption.”

The federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), on March 18, 2024, opened two new environmental assessments of offshore wind power: one for the agency’s proposed Gulf of Maine wind energy areas, the other for the Atlantic Shores project off New Jersey. They are proud of reducing the Gulf area by 85%, but it still encompasses 2 million acres of prime fishing and marine wildlife feeding and migrating areas. The maps below show impact on several whale habitats.

What they don’t mention is the construction phase of this will annihilate all living creatures for miles, and the cables carrying 600,000gw of power have to get to shore through beaches and roads to a transfer switch station. The cabling construction will have a direct impact on shellfish and other creatures that live close to the shore for miles as well. After installation, dangerous Electromagnetic Pulses (EMPs) and other impacts have not been addressed. All one has to do is look at the shores of NJ, Virginia, and NY to see the devastation and frequent dead mammals washed up onto the beaches. Our money is donated to such non-profits and aquariums to toe the line on OSW as the second coming.

 

OSW has been in the pipeline for many years, and until the Green New Deal and all its money put into these projects, it has fast-tracked the industry without any studies or data on the impact on the ocean or marine life. We have Governor Chris Sununu to thank for the Tri-State “Task Force.” A large group of government officials and their friends, along with a few fishermen in Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. Here are the stakeholders:

Recent Timeline:

2019: Sununu requested the BOEM to establish the Gulf of Maine Intergovernmental Renewable Energy Task Force with membership from New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, and all federally recognized Tribes in the Gulf of Maine Region.; Governor Sununu signs Executive Order 2019-06 supporting the efforts of the Task Force and directing the NH Office of Strategic Initiatives, the NH Department of Environmental Services, and the NH Department of Business and Economic Affairs to produce a report on greenhouse gas emissions and port & transmission infrastructure in New Hampshire as it relates to the potential for the deployment of offshore wind in the Gulf of Maine. BOEM holds the first meeting of the Tri-State Task Force with presentations from BOEM, other federal agencies, all three states, and other stakeholders.

2020: Governor Sununu signs HB 1245, which includes the creation of the NH Commission to Study Offshore Wind and Port Development; the Commission, chaired by NH State Senator David Watters, meets monthly and includes representatives from state government, the business community (including NH’s commercial fishing industry), and labor unions. – Governor Sununu signs Executive Order 2021-03 reiterating his support for the exploration of offshore wind in the Gulf of Maine and updating his previous Executive Order to extend the deadline for the study on greenhouse gas emissions and port & transmission infrastructure. BOEM, New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts resume the activities of the Task Force, specifically developing a plan and timeline for the next phase of BOEM’s process, which is the siting and leasing process; this includes creating a regional stakeholder engagement plan, which will support each of the states’ individual stakeholder engagement plans

2022: the BOEM first steps in the commercial leasing process for the Gulf of Maine. Biden-Harris Administration Continues Offshore Wind Momentum, Announces Next Steps for Gulf of Maine. New steps to spur offshore wind development and investments from the Inflation Reduction Act will lower energy costs and create good-paying jobs (for other countries).

Current: NH is actively interviewing for an “Offshore Wind Director Summary: To administer agency objectives by assessing and coordinating the needs of the State’s activities regarding offshore wind, particularly as it relates to offshore wind deployment in the Gulf of Maine; makes recommendations for short-term policies or procedures.” Interestingly, the job description does not mention the safety and study of marine life or the ocean.

OSW in the Gulf of Maine is off and running, full steam ahead and NH has rolled out the red tide of death allowing this without any regard to the ocean or marine life!

State of New Hampshire study: https://www.energy.nh.gov/renewable-energy/office-offshore-wind-industry-development

Below are the contractors listed in the contract and what they are tasked to do. The contract ended, and there is no indication it will continue as the NHDOE says it was to write a study, nothing about further testing or studies or gathering data on Offshore wind and the impact on marine life or the ocean. When asked, the NHDOE said no additional studies! One other red flag is all this is just desktop data mining, with no boots on the ground or ocean! There is a plethora of data in this report. None of which answer some of the tasks in the original contract.

The NHDOE claims we have no say regarding OSW in the area outlined by BOEM is in federal waters, (3 miles out is NH and 200 miles USA federal waters then international)! Somehow, this does not make sense because, as a state, we are supposed to tell the federal government what we want. If Maine controls the wind electricity, will NH benefit? NHDOE states, “Indirectly. If additional electricity is being generated, and demand stays constant, prices will decrease for the entire region.” There are no agreements made for the purchase of off shore wind by the state of NH. When asked about protecting our shores? I was referred to another government agency where no additional data was available. “The New Hampshire Coastal Program is responsible for issuing all federal consistency decisions in New Hampshire.”

Highlights from the original request and the final study:

The report is listed on the state web page: (typos are in the original docs)

“The Contractor shall be engaged by, and report to, the New Hampshire Department of Energy (DOE), to assess and report on the potential environmental, economic, and energy impacts in New Hampshire of development of offshore wind projects in the Gulf of Maine.”…“Normandeau Associates, Inc., Veritas Economics Consulting, and Tetra Tech, Inc. 2023. Potential Environmental, Economic, and Energy Impacts in New Hampshire from Development of Offshore Wind in the Gulf of Maine. Prepared for New Hampshire Department of Energy. 439 p plus Appendices.”

Normandeau Associates, Bedford NH:

“Wind Power Industry, Ecological and Regulatory Permitting Services” among other energy markets

Normandeau will conduct a desktop assessment of the potential environmental impacts of offshore wind development in the Gulf of Maine. The assessment will be geographically focused on potential impacts that are most relevant to New Hampshire. We will review existing publicly available information for important biological resources including birds, bats, fish, benthos and fish habitats, marine mammals, and sea turtles. Specific attention will be provided to the most sensitive species and habitats, Includihg the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale and commercially Important American lobster… Norrhandeau will gather and summarize information on existing databases and literature for each of the resources: birds and bats, fish and fisheries study, manne mammals and sea turtles, and sand and gravel.”

Veritas is listed for the following task. “Veritas Econimics uses modern microenconomic methods to address important environmental, resource and health problems.”

The contract states:

“Economic Impacts to Maritime Industries and Activities Veritas will evaluate the economic impacts to maritime industries and activities from offshore wind development… Veritas will use this model to assess the effects of offshore wind develophient on commercial fisheries and to characterize the effect that offshore wind development can have on commercial fishing.

Tetra Tech https://www.tetratech.com/solutions/energy/offshore-wind/ is listed for the following “desktop” tasks abridged…

“Tetra Tech will prepare an assessment of potential air emissions created by offshore wind operations for a hypothetical facility in the Gulf of Maine, which will specifically address potential emissions of sulfur hexafluoride (SFg), which is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) commonly used… Tetra Tech will prepare an assessment to discuss and identify potential risks and constraints’ associated with the use of rare earth minerals in offshore wind turbines…. Tetra Tech will prepare an acoustic assessment describing potential sound impacts associated with offshore wind turbine operations. Applicable noise regulations will be discussed and a range of wind turbine sound power levels for larger offshore wind installations. A discussion of construction activities will also be included in the assessment, and the implications of both underwater and in-air noise impacts, focusing on pile driving activities. Screening-level sound propagation calculation will also be conducted to predict received sound levels onshore related to offshore pile driving.

While assessment of underwater noise impacts on marine species is a critical component to offshore wind facility permitting, for the purpose of this study, underwater noise impacts will be addressed in a qualitative manner. … Noise prediction results will be used for the purposes of providing an estimate of noise impacts.” Tetra Tech will prepare an acoustic assessment describing potential sound impacts associated with offshore wind turbine operations. Applicable noise regulations will be discussed and a range of wind turbine sound power levels for larger offshore wind installations.

A discussion of construction activities will also be included in the assessment and the implications of both, underwater and in-.air noise impacts; focusing on pile driving activities. Screening-level sound propagation calculation will also be conducted to predict received sound levels onshore related to offshore pile driving. While assessment of underwater noise impacts on marine species is a critical component to offshore wind facility permitting, for the purpose of this study, underwater noise impacts will be addressed in a qualitative manner.

Tetra Tech will base this assessment on a hypothetical project, similar in scale to those currently in development in southern New England, based on publicly-available information sources. No comprehensive acoustic modeling will be completed for this task. Calculations will correspond to more simplistic sound propagation calculations. Noise prediction results will be used for the purposes of providing an estimate of noise impacts.”

Summary:

Each subcontractor is in the ‘wind” business in some way. Can we trust them to be impartial or even objective, as it is likely they receive federal grants for offshore wind study and development? I could not find financials on them worth sharing, but they seem to be doing very well. In the summary of pros and cons, they only mention birds and bats needed more study. When they refer to Right Whales, the concern is tourism! The original request was not fulfilled as many of the items still remain unanswered, and there is no plan to answer them…

Page 284 does confirm the threat to Right Whale habitat. There is much discussion about the depth of the cables and how deep whales go to forage, but no data on the harm from the electricity or the whales in general. They also spend and refer to whale deaths and entanglements caused by fishermen. Details on food or grazing patterns, mating, and whale noise (not in conjunction with wind farms), and migration patterns. According to this study, there are 336 right whales as of 2021! That’s not a lot. These numbers are provided by Passive acoustic monitoring, page 243, patterns. Page 245: “There are 21 species of cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises), four species of seals, and four species of sea turtles that inhabit the GOM and RFI Area. Among the 21 species of cetaceans, 5 whales (blue, fin, North Atlantic right (NARW), sei, and sperm) are designated as endangered under the ESA.” species of marine animals in the target area, gulf of Maine to Massachusetts. On page 247, they list the Biologically Important Areas for many species. I did not find any details on dead marine mammals, cause and location. This study did confirm that offshore wind farms create noise, have toxic elements, have vibration and visual impacts, use rare earth minerals, and more, not including a vast list of construction issues. What the study did not do was state how all this will affect marine life or where we go from here.

If Offshore Wind Farms’ “sound,” “pollution,” or “noise” is not an issue, why are we paying for studies that don’t say anything? Why and what are “sulfur hexafluoride a potent green house gas” doing in wind turbines and what does it do? What and why is the use of “rare earth minerals in offshore wind turbines”, disposal, and maintenance? Where is a plan that if an OSW generator blows up or leaks oil, what will they do, and who will be responsible? What if a hurricane destroys them and the cabling? Where is the ocean’s plant life mentioned and considered? What about the gallons of hot chlorinated water used to cool the High Voltage Direct Current Cooling (HVDC) being dumped into the ocean?? These are just highlights! There are too many questions and not enough answers.

The Gulf of Maine has been identified as a strategic area for Biden’s offshore wind plan. So buckle up, Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. The Green New Deal is coming for your lobster, boating, fishing, and tourism industry. I’m not entirely sure what to make of the NH state study, but it does supply us with some baseline data. The closest active offshore wind farm is off  Marthas Vineyard, the “Vineyard Wind Project1” and south. Construction of OSW has begun in Searsport, Maine, a pristine natural habitat for a plethora of species on and off shore. Millions of our dollars and jobs will go toward foreign companies for the manufacture and installment of these monsters. See this diagram of the sheer size of them, courtesy of Ocean City, MD. The BOEM just approved an additional 84 new OSW turbines that will be nearly 800’ tall (243.84m).. The Sunrise Wind project will provide 800mw to New York, not Massachusetts. Visible from Cape Cod and the Islands, the Vinyard Wind project will be the largest in the country. There is no mention of the impact on the ocean and marine life.

The landmark court decisions to stop construction due to lack of study and data on the marine ecosystem are coming in fast and furious. France’s Council of State has halted all Wind projects, calling them illegal and requiring full environmental assessments. https://www.na-paw.org/pr-240317-France.php?fbclid=IwAR2GD_hLcLkspqKibgkp6nlLKWUReVxy7ZD1yCyNA4U6flo6xDzZ8f5zsrg

In Ireland, in the past week, a high court judge ruled that the noise caused by wind turbines could be considered a legal nuisance. All say not enough has been done testing and studies of the impacts! The testing that is being done all points to harm to marine life. Just this week a Vinyard Wind 1 study reports that pole driving (used in creating OSW) is rivals seismic airgun arrays even with noise mitigation used. The money the Biden administration put toward OSW is not staying in the USA. China is outpacing and outbidding other foreign entities, and the promise of jobs is not going to Americans. They bring their own specialized workers and hire very few union members.

I contacted all four NH gubernatorial candidates to ask if they support over 1,000+ OSW turbines in the Gulf of Maine, off the NH coast, and not one replied. Senator Watters, NH Commission to Study Offshore Wind and Port Development for NH, has not answered when the next meeting of the Tri-State Task Force will be. Even our representatives, who work for us, are not talking about it or answering calls. It is time for NH to stand up to this nonsense, call your representatives, and get the Zodiac boats and bullhorns out before you see Offshore Wind Farms scattered along our precious seacoast and, worse, dead marine animals and the end of coastal shellfish and fisheries! OSW brings a whole new meaning to whale watching…

The internet loves stories about globalist plots to use everything and anything to get mRNA anything into the general population. There are stories about jabbed livestock and even vegetables, but the State of Tennessee is pushing back.

HB1894 seeks to regulate “food that contains a vaccine or vaccine material,” and if you intend to produce it, consumers won’t be able to buy it… without a prescription.

“You would have to get a prescription for that to make sure that we know how much of the lettuce you have to eat based off of your body type so we don’t under-vaccinate you, which leads to the possibility of the efficacy of the drug being compromised, or we overdose you based off how much lettuce is [eaten],” he said during a House committee meeting in February. “All this does is [say] we’re going to classify these types of food sources as pharmaceuticals, so if you want to consume them you would go to your doctor and get a prescription.”

I’m not sure that’s the biggest issue. Even if you can get vaccines into food and neither cooking nor prep compromises or alters the drug or its delivery (or maybe it does), how do you control dosing? The dose makes the poison. Some might not be enough. What is enough, and what happens if they get too much? You have to control more than what happens to the vegetable, in this case, lettuce (and don’t feed any to your rabbits).

The regulatory logistics would be extensive and expensive for both compliance and enforcement, and neither would be adequate for the task, even if safety were a genuine concern and they weren’t just looking for another way to make people sick.

And what about drug interactions? Does your grocer need to be a certified pharmacist who reviews your cart full of purchases for unsafe interactions (scans your chip for an updated list of whatever you are taking) to ensure it won’t “produce” unpleasant side effects, including death?

It’s such a bad idea that they should stop wasting our money on it, but states like Tennessee, which is looking down the road, feel obligated to craft laws to protect their citizens should this recklessness reach warp speed.

The chatter suggests that there are multiple programs being funded to look at food as a delivery system; this is just one, and the experts are not admitting to any sort of success. In fact, the preferred narrative seems to be that even if they were to succeed, it would make the food cost prohibitive, so there’s no need for the legislation. That’s probably true, but gain of function research is illegal in the US, so they farm it out to China, Ukraine, and dozens of other countries. Why wouldn’t they do the same thing for lettuce (or whatever), subsidize it to get the cost down, and then quietly infect millions of people with whatever it is they grew inside it?

…Very quietly until someone like Michael Schellenberger exposed it on X to the chorus of denials from the FDA.

A must-read article … Night Cap: Two Dangerous Bills Must Be Stopped. Read it to see how the very “Republican” State Reps who tell us they will prevent the Democrats from “massing up” New Hampshire are actually working with the Democrats to “mass up” New Hampshire.

SIXTY-SEVEN (67) “Republican Reps” voted with the Democrats to turn New Hampshire into an endless sea of apartment complexes. Within a short period of time, New Hampshire will look like a mini-me Massachusetts. And once the Biden-Regime steals another election, these apartment complexes will be the perfect places to warehouse all the additional illegal aliens the Regime intends to import.

Read the article. The point of this post is to highlight the imposters calling themselves “Republicans” who are actually Koch-bot-corporatists. The names:

The post Meet The Republican State Reps Who Do NOT Represent Republican Voters appeared first on Granite Grok.

Industrial Hygienist Stephen Petty has decades of experience protecting people from hazards, so when he tells you masks can’t stop a virus, that’s an expert scientific fact. And still, some do not believe.

Petty was back in New Hampshire on March 15, 2024, to provide expert testimony before the House Special Committee on COVID Response Efficacy, and one example of a disbeliever is New Hampshire State Rep. Trinidad Tellez. She is a Democrat, a woke doctor (and director of Health Equity for NH DHHS), and (allegedly) a researcher.

She appears wearing a cloth mask, which is amusing for several reasons before and after arriving.

Mr. Petty’s most recent testimony – available in its entirety below and worth every minute – was well underway when she decided to show up late – wearing that cloth mask (a bandit come to steal your medical freedom!).

One observer mentioned how Rep. Tellez spent time looking at her phone. At one point, I saw her flip through a printed copy of the slide deck with casual disinterest. As a health equity expert, it likely had little that would appeal to her agenda, and no, she never took off the useless mask.

Related: (2022) – Certified Industrial Hygienist Stephen Petty’s Senate Testimony on Why Masks Don’t or Can’t Work

Petty had explained to the Committeee (his detailed slide deck is available here) how and why there is no scientific basis (and never has been – he brought receipts) for masks as a means to reduce viral transmission and how even the medical bureaucracy has said as much, if not backhandedly when Rep. Tellez finally arrives – so it’s no surprise she appears disinterested from there on out.

Petty’s presentation explored how masks can’t stop viruses (not even N95 and why), shares research showing how masking makes infection and transmission more likely, and how masks are bad for kids and learning. He covers a lot of ground in the 80-plus minutes he has the floor (followed by Q and A, which I did not capture – full video available here from 7:30 to 1:57:00).

Much of this will not be new to anyone who reads outside the corporate media lines, but it serves as an excellent reminder.

Mr. Petty also reminded the Committee that doctors are not subject experts on most or all of the disciplines related to air quality and hazard mitigation. Most know little or nothing about PPE (medical masks are not, by legal definition, PPE), its proper applications, or its effectiveness or ineffectiveness.

Rep. Tellez could be forgiven for her ignorance, but not after the hearing – the slide deck handouts had links and references to data and evidence from public and private sources.

I doubt she’s interested in learning that truth or expressing that with her vote, which ought to be of interest to the “community” whose interest she claims to represent.

The post State Rep Shows Up Late and Masked for Expert Testimony on Why Masks Don’t Work appeared first on Granite Grok.

There is a continuously stronger chorus of voices in the Anglosphere claiming that capitalism has failed.

A rallying cry for decades from the political far left, the critique of capitalism stems from many misunderstandings but mainly from a total lack of awareness of what capitalism actually is and isn’t.

Looking historically, the anti-capitalist movement was spurned in the 20th century by the Marxists and Maoists, whose relentless march for personal power built the Communist International. Marx called for a communist revolution— an uprising of the workers to replace the wealthy upper class, the bourgeoisie. Realistically, that uprising happened in many countries during World War I and World War II. The great wars of the 20th century were, in other nomenclature, Marx’s fabled communist revolution.

Both Russia and China felt the brunt of this movement. The latter threw off the vestiges of a millennia-old imperial governing system and became a republic, albeit one-party-dominated, in 1949. Collectivist rule, another name for communism, seemed more fitting to control the larger national populations of the post-20th-century information age.

Today, that communist ideology has firmly planted itself in the United Nations and World Economic Forum. The left is dominant, and capitalists are under attack. But this is nothing new. It is simply a power struggle over wealth.

Capitalism is another name for the intelligent and efficient deployment and appropriation of capital— valuable goods, money, resources, and labor. This is why saying capitalism is the problem is a boogieman argument, like saying CO2 causes climate change. It’s a propagandist message that is simple and catchy and encourages extreme stupidity.

Capitalism is also the caring and maintenance of the free market— that means allowing people to trade and decide the value of things (a.k.a. prices) by whatever means they choose. This is the antithesis of the Communist system, where a central national or federal governing structure sets prices. Such is widely the practice in the EU today. A tome of legalities governs the bounds of prices. Committees of bureaucrats in Brussels spend months deciding the fair price of butter and almost every other commodity exchanged in the marketplace.

Such extreme state-level intervention has become the norm. There have historically been many words used to describe this sort of government control, each associated with varying degrees of the use of military force, fear, jingoism, corporate centralization, and other facets of national culture and society. Some that come to mind are fascism, socialism, statism and Nazism. They are all fruits of the same tree— the tree of government intervention in free markets.

Why is Capitalism always under attack? Simply because powerholders and politicians must feel they have a purpose. They think that they must do something to validate actually being in power. It is unfortunate that most humans, including politicians, display an utter lack of restraint and a remarkably absent ability to simply do nothing at all.

The problem, ultimately, is not Capitalism. It is politicians’ incessant belief that they should intervene in the market and their tendency to do so with no sense of morality, no exposure to working conditions, no communication with all market participants, and no understanding of economics. When politicians do intervene, they do so with extreme prejudice, haste, and incomplete information. They are like little children playing with sandcastles, except the sandcastles are the lives of real people in the economy.

There is a better way to manage free markets and steer Capitalism. Such enlightened capitalism would involve governments protecting people from corporate interests, putting human health and wellbeing first above corporate profits, allowing market actors to determine prices on their own without excessive controls or interventions, and, most critically, allowing market actors, especially corporations, to fail when they have lost money.

None of this has been put into practice in the US, EU, or China in the recent past. Instead, veritable idiots are permitted to champion government intervention under the jingoistic slogans of the anti-capitalists.

Imagine a frog in a pond decrying fresh water entering the pond from a small stream, the pond’s water source. The frog calls for all sorts of actions to stop the fresh water from entering the pond. The frog then wants to manage the water levels, the number of lily pads, the number of crocodiles, the number of snakes, how the water exits the pond, and the list goes on. Every day, the frog calls to manage a new facet of pond life.

Inevitably, the pond would rot or dry up. Without fresh water and natural biodiversity, it would no longer be a pond. And this is the norm today—such an excessive level of state intervention that markets do not function as markets.

Successful capitalism is light-touch with defined barriers. Keep out the snakes, or at least watch them carefully and intervene to stop them quickly and effectively. Uproot the rotten plants and throw them out. Keep the water fresh. And in the meantime, do nothing.

Ultimately, capitalism doesn’t fail on its own. What some people claim as failing is simply the efficient and natural distribution of capital away from their failed ideas. And this is why the communists and statists always think it is failing— because their ideas always become stale and fail. When nobody wants the communists after the revolution to overthrow the bourgeoisie, they are simply thrown out.

The post Capitalism Never Fails, Only Communists Fail appeared first on Granite Grok.

Late last week, I was checking on X (still pronounced ‘Twitter’), and one of the Grok Account followers shared an update from someone who claimed that 87% of those polled thought New Hampshire should have a paid professional legislature. What would be the result if ‘Grok ran that poll?

Post this same poll on @GraniteGrok and see what the results are. I’m going to go out on a limb and say it would be totally the opposite of your results.

— NH Mom for Ordered Liberty (@NHDesignerMom) March 28, 2024

Very likely, so we ran our first Twitter Poll on X.

 

Should the NH House be a paid “professional” legislature? Yes or No?

— GraniteGrok (@GraniteGrok) March 29, 2024

 

Two hundred twenty-one votes on X is hardly conclusive, *but we did have a few non-Twitter users vote in comments or send them to me, so this needs an off-X adjustment. Don’t worry; it’s not election month 2020. 88.7% of all voters do not want a paid professional NH House, which is almost exactly the opposite of the alleged result that led to our poll (which was 87%). Kudos to NH Mom for Ordered Liberty—you nailed it!

But we didn’t get just votes (that would have been a very short post); we also received some interesting input that is worth sharing.

Can you name one state that has gotten a more responsive legislature than ours by virtue of paying them “a living wage”?

Long-time Grok friend Kevin Bloom had an interesting idea.

Change the $100 to be paid in gold, as it was when the amount was decided on. That’s 5 ounces, and should cover the expenses Jordan mentions.

— Kevin Bloom (@MongoHampshire) March 30, 2024

In 1889 when they decided to pay legislators 100 dollars a year, that would equate to about $3,500 in today’s dollars which is less than 2 million including all taxes. This is a pebble in a 55 gallon tank compared to the entire budget.

— NH Rep. John Sellers (@NH_Rep_Sellers) March 30, 2024

I did reply to this. Something to the effect of, yeah, but those peebles tend to add up quickly.

Next!

We have probably the most successful and highest participation rate at the state legislature level out of all 50 states and the best ROI in our taxes… and a large reason is we’re not paying representatives to work for us. They have to make it work. pic.twitter.com/oqLAmHVIMX

I go back and forth on this, so let me suggest something people might not think of.

Our modern, and tragic, circumstances are that of a substantially weakened Legislature, an Executive wielding the powers of three branches unto itself, and a Judiciary with claimed powers far in…

Absolutely not. Our legislature is still what our founding fathers had intended. If more states followed our model, there would be less corruption and career politicians.

In other news, if you are on the right or pro-liberty we’d like to begin featuring your podcasts on GranieGrok. Rumble or YouTube are the easiest to share – we want to be able to embed them on our pages. This includes right-minded folks with cable-access programs, assuming we can share them here.

If you are interested, please email me at steve@granitegrok.com.

If you know of a suitable local podcast (NH, VT, ME, or MA), send me a link or contact info, and we’ll reach out.

Finally, my apologies for the delays in site updates. We are in a next-up-any-day holding pattern now—a bit like flying on standby. With any luck, it’ll just get done, and we’ll have our lighter, faster refresh online before too long.

Finally (finally), thanks to everyone for reading and commenting, and on the latter bit, I stopped running the comment of the week because no one was contacting me for their winning goodies.

Apparently, according to NHGOP “leaders” in the House, the most important issue facing New Hampshire is that there is just not enough urban density. There is a simple solution … Ross Berry, Joe Sweeney, and anyone else who wants to see (and I mean literally see) more apartment complexes can move to Massachusetts.

Then, maybe, what remains of GOP voters in New Hampshire can actually be represented by Republican State Reps who are not fixated on making New Hampshire look like Massachusetts:

It wasn’t too long ago that the NHGOP was telling us that the sacred principle of “local control” meant that “big government” in Concord could NOT prohibit school districts from imposing senseless, harmful mask mandates. Yet now they are talking out of the other side of their mouths … “local control” isn’t such a sacred principle when it prevents “multi-family” housing, i.e., apartment complexes.

Slava Ukraine! Workforce housing! Slava Ukraine! Slava Ukraine!

Most Grok readers already know that In-Depth NH dot org is an enemy camp publication that routinely spews garbage op-eds, like this one, written by its “State House Bureau Chief,” Garry Rayno.

Normally, I don’t monitor its serial drivel, but his most recent article was brought to my attention because it is riddled with NTU-speak. Rayno cries “local control” as he whines about all kinds of school management-related bills and their House outcomes. To use Senator Giuda’s favorite word, “anathema,” Rayno finds individual rights anathema, and so do all of his ilk, except for one particular member of the enemy camp that he chooses to ignore.

It appears that threats of violence against freshman rep Jonah Wheeler after he took to the mic and voted correctly on HB 619 on January 4 weren’t punishment enough for practicing freedom of thought and good conscience.  Now, Rayno seemingly wants to cancel him for voting correctly on HB 1093 last Thursday!

HB 1093 is the ban on school mask policies bill that amazingly passed the House on a 187-184 roll call.  Without Jonah Wheeler’s correct vote, the victory would have been just a one-vote margin, thanks to 4(Rayno claims 3 in his article) Uniparty RINO saboteurs, Bordes, Boyd, Coker, and Wolf.  I don’t know which one Rayno is refusing to acknowledge or if he never got the news that Coker jumped ship, but they deserve to be shamed as much as Jonah Wheeler deserves to be praised.  In fact, I sent him a thank you email on Thursday and encourage all readers to do the same.

Rayno is pretending that Jonah Wheeler doesn’t exist. While I sadly doubt the opportunity would present itself, an interesting question to explore would be if Rayno would do the same to Lemonade Linda HG (also on House Criminal Justice) if she ever votes correctly on something important.  Look at her picture, and you tell me!

The post Senate Gold Standard – April 04, 2024 appeared first on NH Liberty Alliance.

Mr. President (it hurt to type that), we are getting a glimpse into the star-studded money grab you held on Thursday night at Radio City Music Hall, and I have a few questions for you.

I guess we have to congratulate you on the $25 million haul, but my first question is, what would the attraction and take have been if Barack Obama and Bill Clinton had not joined you? You must realize that Democrats will vote for the legacy of these two former Presidents and not for you, Joe Biden. Your horrendous approval rating is evidence of my claim.

The optics of this event were insulting to those of us trying to survive in the middle class. Your Bidenomics is destroying the dreams we had of a comfortable retirement after a lifetime of labor. The average income in America is $59,000, about half the $100,000 the elite paid for a picture with you, Barack, and Bill. By the way, how did you keep Hillary off the stage as she still believes she won the 2016 Election? That kind of thinking will get a Republican charged with insurrection but gets a Democrat book deals.

Stephen Colbert moderated the show and gave the first question to Joe. He asked for Biden to explain the significance of the upcoming election. Joe summed it up with the patented, though factually incorrect, line that it is all about saving our democracy. Our President should know we are not a democracy, but we digress. Biden went on to explain he did not want to run in 2020 because he had just lost his son, Beau. Beau had actually died in 2015, but Joe has to bring him up in every statement. He then told of his story about marchers in Virginia coming out of the woods, carrying torches and the Nazi or confederate flag-they were obviously White Supremacist or MAGA Republicans.

Biden should understand torch-carrying white supremacists, for he was best friends with and eulogized the late Senator Robert Byrd. Byrd was a long-time politician and held the position of majority leader during his tenure. Byrd never attended college, but was a grand wizard of the KKK before taking his policies to the Capitol. In typical Democrat hypocritical style, Biden condemns all Republicans as racist white supremacists, while his best friend in the Senate had worn the white hood of the KKK, one of the most hateful, racist, and violent gangs this country has ever known.

Over 5,000 people paid from $225 to $500,000 to see and hear the last three Democrat Presidents and the participating celebrities, including Queen Latifah, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, and Lea Michele. This list of celebrities shows a poor effort to pander to minorities of color.There has been so much talk about money in this election you would think that is all the election is about. The person who raises the most money moves into the White House.

Joe, one last question. What do you say to middle America after hobnobbing with the rich and famous? How do you tell them they are wrong to think your poll numbers are accurate. They just have to vote for you and allow you to finish the job of destroying our Democracy-excuse me, Republic. Then they will know why your numbers are worse than Jimmy Carter.

You don’t hear the words build back better much anymore unless it’s from someone closer to the small government end of the spectrum making fun of Democrats who live at the other end. We’ve built debt and gone backward, and only the size of government is bigger (which they think is better).

Ridin’ with Biden isn’t likely to appear from the campaign basement either. Joe has no coattails; if he did, he’s likely forgotten where he left them.

Bidenomics has likewise lost favor among the intelligentsia of the tyrant class. Democrats, Media, and sundry proglodyte influencers have stopped wielding the term as if it were a badge of honor. A decline driven by – and this will be shocking to many on the despotic left – reality. The only thing rising under Joe’s economic husbandry (that of his administration) is the number of people who say they are worse off (52%). It is more than double those who say they are better off, with 26% claiming their lives are about the same (they were not asked about spying, open borders, crime, or free speech).

I suspect the numbers are worse than the public polling suggests. Why else abandon the term?

Bidenomics is simple: it means you pay more for goods and services.

Americans are spending over $11,400 more annually to buy basic goods under his failed policies. https://t.co/OVXKUa6YMc

— Speaker Mike Johnson (@SpeakerJohnson) March 28, 2024

The Biden plan for job creation and growth has been to print and spend money on the government. Recycle future taxdollars today through their friends and family network (cartels and friendly NGOs) back to Democrat politicians. Real growth has been absent for a while, exacerbating the inflation bubble created by printing and spending. When it breaks, the Dems will blame everyone but themselves and try to buy you off with more inflationary policy using an increasingly worthless dollar.

Congressional Dems have also stopped invoking Bidenomics. It doesn’t make their constituents smile, so we’ll hear it more than ever from their political opponents because Democrats don’t know any other way to run a nation, and this is what that looks like. The media lies, and jobs die. If not for grow-government spending, unemployment reporting would look worse, inflation reporting would be more realistic (higher), and we would see in print and online what we feel daily.

Regime failure.

Hiding it may have helped with the 26% who think life is about the same (they must not do their own grocery shopping), but more Americans are feeling the pain that comes from unshackled Democrat rule, but at least we know what to call it.

Bidenomics. It’s Obamanomics but worse.

The ancient story of and lessons about the Trojan horse should not easily be forgotten.

The Trojan horse was supposedly a large hollow wooden horse constructed by the Greeks to attempt to gain entrance into Troy during the Trojan War. The Greeks, pretending to withdraw from the war, sailed away from the entrance to Troy, leaving behind the horse as a supposed offering to the goddess of war that would make Troy impregnable. Despite various warnings by respected elders, the horse was taken inside the city gates. Later that night, Greek warriors who had been hidden inside the horse emerged and opened the gates to let in the returned Greek army, with the unfortunate outcome predictable for the Trojans.

The ancient story is told at length in the Aeneid and is mentioned in the Odyssey.

The term “Trojan horse” has come to refer to subversion introduced from the outside.

Fast forward to the present time.

We have, in the past year, seen the spectacle of a longtime left-wing Democrat from Meredith (nominally a Republican-leaning district), who ran for and was elected as a state representative as a proclaimed Democrat, change his party registration to Republican more than a year after his election, thereupon becoming loudly welcomed into the state’s Republican party by its chair and into the Republican caucus (the otherwise confidential meetings of the Republican representatives in which positions and strategies are discussed) by the House “majority leader,” notwithstanding the longtime prior history of the “New Republican” supporting and advocating for leftwing and non-Republican causes. Talk about inviting an enemy into your house.

How did this guy ever get elected as a Dem from Meredith, which usually leans Republican? Although he was opposed by an excellent Republican in the general election, he probably prevailed because of a lack of turnout by actual Republican voters. Elections do have consequences.

At least one commentator from the district in question opined that Matt Coker’s change of political party was probably done principally to try to enhance his chances of re-election since the district from which he comes usually votes Republican. There is likely to be a much larger Republican turnout in the general election this year, in which the presidential contest brings out voters who might otherwise stay home in droves.

In reality, merely having an “R” by one’s name on a ballot has become essentially meaningless- intelligent voters as well as the so-called “leadership” of the House and of the NHGOP must look behind the labels to see the true nature of an individual.

In these days, with the numbers of Dems and Republicans in the NH House nearly evenly divided, there seems to be much too much focus on the pure numbers of persons claiming to be Republicans versus individuals with true convictions. It may seem to be great when “leadership” is able to proclaim that it “has the numbers” on any House session day before votes are to be taken, but when some of those “numbers” are actually RINOs who do not vote as real Republicans, “having the numbers” becomes worse than meaningless.

So, how has our “New Republican” done in the General Court so far?

Check his voting record. On many recent critical bills in which Republican principles and platform issues were enunciated and involved, such as prohibiting compulsory masking in schools, he voted with the Democrats and other RINOs. He has frequently allied himself with Belknap’s RINO-in-chief, Rep Mike Bordes. So, Coker’s self-described label of being a Republican is, in reality, meaningless.

Will we ever learn?

The post MONDAY MEMES appeared first on Granite Grok.

It is ironic and appropriate that this post hits on April 1, April Fool’s Day, because what Joe Biden did on Easter Sunday can only be the act of a fool.

Biden, who claims to be a Roman Catholic, stood by and first, allowed the White House Easter Egg Decorating competition to be bastardized into a generic pop art show, and then, rather than wishing American Christians a Happy Easter, took the opportunity to declare Easter Sunday the Transgender Day of Visibility. He insulted and belittled millions of believers to pander to the 1.6 million adults who identify as Transgender.

Participants in the Easter Egg competition received specific restrictions. There were to be no submissions that were political (no MAGA eggs), questionable content (very subjective), or religious symbols or themes. The Democrats are religious deniers when it comes to Christianity or Judaism but not when it comes to the Muslim faith. They have minimized the Easter celebration to a Bunny holiday and forbid any reference to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If not for the belief that Jesus rose on the third day, there would be no Easter. That has no impact on our Roman Catholic President, but then again, he also believes in abortion and transgender rights. Biden should never see the inside of a church again. 

Somebody then confessed to Joe that it was a good idea to declare March 31, Easter Sunday, as the Transgender Day of Visibility.

“Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans … You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back,” President Biden said in the March 29 proclamation while boasting of appointing “transgender leaders” to his administration and ending a ban on transgender people from serving openly in the military.

Joe Biden, who has declared war on the middle class, went on to boast about the accomplishments of his administration to make life more accessible to transgender people. He pointed to his efforts to create “more inclusive passports” with an X as the “gender” marker.

That “X,” Mr. President does nothing to address the suicide rate of trans people that is twice the national average, the regret that many trans people have as they seek surgery to reverse their conversion, or the intense level of depression that trans people live in. But the bottom line is why is this proclamation necessary, and why disrespect a billion Christians around the globe by denigrating the holiest of days on the Christian calendar? 

Harmeet Dhillon hit it the nail on the head: “Isn’t every day at the Biden White House ‘Transgender Day of Visibility?'” wrote Ms. Dhillon, who also serves as vice president of the Republican National Lawyers Association.

“To deliberately insult Christians on this holy weekend is gross and evil,” she added.

Gross and evil, two perfect words to describe the Biden Presidency. He has destroyed our sovereignty, made America less safe, and stalled our economy, evaporating the retirement dreams of elders and the hopes of young families. To compound the damage he has done, he wants four more years to finish the knockout of America. Let’s give him the ten count and send him to retirement.
