America’s Avoidable 2025 Doom Loop

Never in the history of our allegedly-free nation have we, as actual Americans, been subject to such egregious tyranny as today — and so seemingly indifferent.

Because we have discovered many things we thought were true, but have since been revealed and confirmed as true, in such a way as to re-label so-called “conspiracy theorists” as in fact prescient.

Yes, of course, there are amounts of pushback involved now, beginning with Trump 45 and on into Trump 47. In some venues and with some issues things appear to be turning around, in a positive pro-American bent, as they should have been all along.

But for a great deal of Americans, we are collectively discovering (though we should have intuited so, and massive shame on us when we all didn’t — with some of us actively and affirmatively choosing to ignore every sign) that the agencies, boards, governments, and institutions we thought were helping us — were in fact the entities responsible for our enslavement.

We became a nation of sheep, flogged, strapped, stepped on, throats bled just enough to not kill us or exsanguinate the complacent little hosts we needed to be. We bleated, we mouthed a few complaints, but we continued on our distracted, ignorant ways, entranced and enthralled by tech that means nothing, by social media that means nothing, by Kabuki Theater of the Absurd, by bread and circuses, by feints, by diversions, by pretty much everything except the truth.

We have it so good, we are so coddled, soothed, petted, stroked, chucked under the chin, that we have forgotten what is happening before our very eyes. We have become the lambs raised for, first, shearing.

We are being sheared of our wool, our defense from the weather, from the environs, from our ability to even defend ourselves. We are being sheared of our freedoms, our liberties, told one thing, witnessed those autocrats doing another, and thinking little of it. Because, as has been pounded into our little heads for multiple decades:

Let the government do the thinking for us. Let the elitists do the thinking for us. Let our betters do the thinking for us. We lack the capacity for clear thought, for reason, for a manifest understanding of our plight, and of our foreordained future. We are the proles, the serfs, the groundlings, the unwashed, the menials, the indentured servants, the lackeys, the helots, and we need to know our place. We must be reminded constantly of this.

And then raised for the slaughter. It’s no secret that the Georgia Guidestones, now turned into rubble, advocated a perfect Agenda 32 Globalist mindset, to include:

  • Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
  • Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity.
  • Unite humanity with a living new language.
  • Rule passion – faith – tradition – and all things with tempered reason.
  • Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
  • Balance personal rights with social duties.

We have become one of the clearest, loudest beacons on the planet for those who wish to do us harm. “Come and take over,” the beacon is broadcasting, on every frequency.

I can tell you why many nations, many “minorities,” many ethnicities, many young war-age males want to come here.

They are from hardscrabble areas where only strength survives. They look at us, collectively, in media, in social media, and perceive us as weak, ripe for takeover. First in a small area, a neighborhood, an apartment complex.

Then they look at our “leaders,” as corrupt, risible, and bribable/extortable as they are. They see this on TV every day.

They know President Trump is tough, but he’s a passing fancy, and four years from now the US will be back to open borders, a bigger, greater welcoming for graft, open arms for even greater amounts of guilt and Globalism.

If they can just squeak it out, remain background, and if the world and the US hasn’t already come to civil war, their chances of overturning this weak nation are good. They know the courts, the bureaucracy, the political “leaders” will assist whenever possible. They historically have. They historically will.

They know Trump is an aberration. And they’re counting on us to, after a time, resort to infighting and then, amnesia. Followed by an immediate case of Historical Alzheimers.

Then sometimes they see what they believe is an opportunity. And what they believe is a confluence of conditions ripe for what they would consider a proverbial Perfect Storm.

That’s what’s occurring in Los Angeles, fanned by large Demorat, Leftist, and Globalist cash, all essentially sourcing from, naturally George Soros and his world-destroying buddies.

A series of wealthy someones decided it’s time to ignite Los Angeles, fan the flames, and then attach the Rahm Emanual axiom: “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”

This was no organic, natural, spontaneous reaction to ICE. On the street level it was, but that’s only because the illegal invaders are doing what they’re told, releasing some Mexican steam, destroying that which they will likely never be held responsible.

Because, on its face, it makes absolutely zero sense to demolish the country that you wish to call your “new home,” demand rights and entitlements no other country would ever remotely conjure, then not only complain that you haven’t been sufficiently catered-to, but riot due to umbrage you were told you must feel by those selfsame Demorats, Leftists, and Globalists.

“Hey, let’s go to another country, then try to take it over because we feel like it, and when we don’t get our immediate way, we’ll just trash it — and expect nothing to happen to us.”

That’s bad in and of itself. We’ll discuss further. And we expect, simply because it’s Kalifornia, for Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass, and all the rest of the Demorat sycophants in Kalifornia, the rest of the Demorat sycophants in DC, to all chime in simultaneously and scream that stopping a contingent of illegal invaders from destroying an entire city — which, by the way, contains the second largest population of Mexicans on the planet, just behind Mexico City itself — is fascist and heinous and unconstitutional.

In a way, yeah, we expect that. It’s Kalifornia, it’s DC, they’re Demorats, they create nothing but destroy everything. With one exception.

They’ll go out of their way to create problems themselves — then jump in and offer “solutions” to that which they generated, that turn out to be even worse than the original problems, and cost untold billions of dollars to “fix.” Which, naturally, never get repaired. They just demand more dollars. Don’t ask where the money goes, you bastards.

Just like now. And that’s bad enough.

But when law enforcement gets involved, and sucks the cocks of those Demorats, Leftists, and Globalists — then they’re demanding to be placed into the same category as those who want to demolish cities. They’re essentially no better than the rioters themselves, hiding behind a badge, a uniform, and an oath that they spit on.

Here’s LAPD’s official June 7th press release, on official LAPD letterhead, which states:

Not to be outdone, here’s LASO’s similar official press release, on official LASO letterhead, which states:

Please note that the LA ICE “protests” began on Friday, June 6th. But both LAPD and LASO thought it so important that they issue these press releases on a Saturday.

Having been in law enforcement for 41+ years, this disgusts me. These so-called law enforcement “leaders,” spit on their own badges, dishonor their own oaths of office. They are pieces of Leftist shit.

Here is LAPD Chief James McDonnell.

Here is LASO Sheriff Robert Luna.

And here is a truly spontaneous response, from a line level officer, regarding LAPD Chief James McDonnell:

The Uniform Without a Spine
A Dispatch from the Frontlines of Gutless Governance and Gold-Braided Cowardice

Typically reticent at mincing words, I think I’ll now indulge a wee bit of commentary on LAPD’s Jim McDonnell — his vacuum-sealed spine, his long-laminated cowardice, and his latest grand abdication of responsibility to the troops he pretended to lead and the citizens he failed to serve.

When the sitting LAPD Chief publicly declares his entire department will not cooperate in any way with ICE, he’s not making some brave moral stand. He’s not “protecting the community.” He’s not even virtue signaling.

He’s showing his true colors and an allegiance to the loudest, dumbest corner of the electorate while casually wiping his ass with interagency cooperation and federal law.

Oh — and the cherry on the gutless sundae?

He implied his troops might be used AGAINST federal agents.

That’s right.

The chief law enforcement officer of the second-largest city in America hinted—like a man cosplaying courage in a room full of hand-wringers—that his own officers, sworn to uphold the Constitution, could be pointed like a weapon at fellow law enforcement doing their lawful duty.

Just what kind of dirt do the globalists have on this man? (And I use that last word with reticence.)

McDonnell — God, he’s making me second guess any Irish roots—knew exactly what he was doing. This wasn’t a goddamn slip. His signature theatrical cowardice is simply a matter of a recidivist ass returning to the scene of institutional betrayal.

This is the same Jim McDonnell who:
• Neutered the LAPD gang database, not because it was flawed, but because critics with sociology degrees decided tattoos and nicknames were racist.
• Pushed for the removal of Thin Blue Line insignia, not because it posed a risk, but because it made fragile people sweaty.
• Discouraged proactive policing in the city’s most violent corridors under the banner of “restorative justice” — which is just Latin for let’s hope the guy with the machete is feeling mellow today.
• Greenlit internal investigations not for misconduct, but for “problematic language”—as if enforcing grammar is nobler than enforcing the law. (One can imagine what he’d make of my tone—too declarative, too binary, insufficiently apologetic for daring to say what used to be common sense before cowardice was rebranded as policy.)

This wasn’t a chief who led. This was a man who took the moral equivalent of a knee every time a Soros-funded grievance goblin raised their voice on an antisocial platform.

He didn’t reform the LAPD. He refurbished it into a publicly funded therapy circle with pistols. A walking HR seminar in epaulettes. A department whose primary directive was no longer enforce the law but apologize in advance for existing.

Let me put it plainly: Jim McDonnell does not believe in the rule of law.

He believes in optics. He believes in appeasement.

He believes in the kind of bureaucratic tail-wagging that gets you rebooked at Aspen think tanks and DEI roundtables.

And while he wore the uniform, he never once bore the weight of it. He was a bureaucratic chameleon—the kind who could cite committee minutes, invoke “community stakeholders,” and quote policy like scripture, but couldn’t stare down a cartel-affiliated predator and call him what he is: a goddamn threat.

This wasn’t just a failure of courage.

This was a full-throated repudiation of duty.

A declaration that the politics of the moment matter more than the oaths sworn by those under his command.

And here’s the punchline: he still expected people to salute.

Jim McDonnell had one job—to protect the people of Los Angeles without fear or favor.

Instead, he protected his future speaking gigs.

He protected his liberal media credibility.

He protected his delicate image as a “reformer.”

He didn’t go soft. He went hollow.

A badge-shaped echo chamber who turned a noble calling into a risk-averse, hashtag-compliant brand.

So let’s end this with the clarity he never could muster:

Resign, Jim.

Not for failure. For fraud. You cashed the checks. You wore the uniform. You gave the orders. And then you folded like a yard-sale lawn chair the second that uniform required actual conviction.

You didn’t lose the public’s trust. You sold it off in quarterly installments—wrapped in euphemism, festooned in DEI, and lacquered in cowardice.

You may still hold the title. But in every meaningful sense, you already quit.

And we fucking noticed.

We all noticed. All of us in law enforcement. All of us around the nation. And there aren’t words sufficiently harsh for these two loser pieces of shit — particularly James McDonnell, who recently proclaimed that he was “overwhelmed” by the riots, after having just stated officially that he loved him some illegal invaders #BecauseDiversity.

LAPD Chief McDonnell was overwhelmed because he is incapable of doing his job, has an intentional failure of imagination, and yowls like a baboon how he loves illegals. Until they create some issues for him. Then he’s “overwhelmed.” Boo-fucking-hoo.

Life in a Leftist Urban Rat Cage is already sufficiently difficult, absent law enforcement essentially saying that the taxpaying public, actual Americans, can go to hell. Not only will we not protect you from illegal invaders, but we will favor illegal invaders over you.

I should care to remind everyone that we, this nation, started a revolution against an entire nation over less than this.

Everything you see is intentional. It’s part of the plan. The very idea that the US exists as a country is anathema, is reprehensible, to Demorats, Leftists, Globalists, anarchists, and the American Media Maggots.

Our vulnerabilities as a free nation are being purposely exploited against us, by deliberately having allowed multiple millions of illegal invaders inside during the Biden Regime.

It is suicidal for any country to permit these kinds of uncontrollable, unassimilable numbers within sovereign borders, and that fact is being proven, in real time, before our eyes.

Preventing that is “fascism,” a Marxist tactic. Allege something terrible like fascism while, conversely, Demorats, Leftists, Globalists, anarchists, are engaging in precisely the same thing, except on a scale magnitudes worse.

No other president could even remotely save us from this kind of national annihilation, except President Donald Trump.

Will the Battle of Los Angeles end up creating CWII? — a theme produced entirely by the Demorats, Leftists, and Globalists, by refusing to allow ICE to do their own jobs via Sanctuary City and state policies, complying with federal detainers in jail systems?

Which then NECESSITATED agents of ICE going places of which they then had little alternative? Court houses, places of work, homes, businesses, placing those agents and those in those locales in greater jeopardy?

When it was far simpler to comply with our laws, all around, in the first place, beginning with 8 U.S.C. § 1325, and 8 U.S.C. § 1326.

Bringing normal policies to a First World country, the same policies every First World country has, including the countries the illegal invaders themselves left.

It is the Demorats, Leftists, Globalists, anarchists, and the American Media Maggots who forced this scenario upon every Sanctuary City, State, and town. Compliance would have yielded an orderly pickup all around, with few if any getting injured — the suspects themselves, or ICE.

This all could have been avoided. Every bit of it. If the prior administration had held to federal law, to normal principles, respect for the Constitution, respect for the Bill of Rights, respect for our nation’s sovereignty, and respect for the actual citizens living here in the United States of America.

We must have the absolute iron will to defend our country, because no one else will. The rest of the nations on the planet — most all of them — are pissed that we discovered their multiple decades long grift, their scam, their abuse, their neglect of the United States. Their failure to pay up. Their failure to do their global part.

Meanwhile, on our hard-earned American Taxpayer Dollars, they built some of the finest social welfare systems imaginable, their people lived large, then they excoriated the United States because we weren’t smart enough to create all of our own perfect safety nets.

And rubbed our noses in it. On our dime.

They’re pissed, those nations, like any ill-brained, petulant, idiot teenager, that they did something wrong, Mom and Dad never got hip to their shit then, suddenly, they were caught. And now they’re squealing about “unfairness” and “oppression” and how awfully “judgmental” we are collectively here in the states.

The point being, that if we don’t figure this shit out, settle our own shit, right here, right now, there is no one coming to help.

In fact, as we burn, the other nations will be complaining — as they are right now — that we’re simultaneously killing little brown and black babies all around the globe because, in truth, only a minuscule portion of the spice has ceased its flow.

So we could have prevented all of this. By turning off the illegal invader spigot long ago. Everyone is to blame. From Reagan to Clinton to Bush to Obama to Biden and even, in a way, to Trump himself.

We could have cared for ourselves. Instead of caring for other nations first. We could have stopped this long ago. We chose, in all of our politics, to embrace this and, with the passing of years, we only embraced it longer, harder, and with more stridence.

Our largesse was seen as weakness, it still is, and is the nature of most human beings. That being, of course, completely foreseeable — if you’re a student of history, and a student of human beings.

What other nation would have created a Marshall Plan after having almost killed itself due to the sacrifices required on a global scale? Eliminated much of an entire generation of young males with huge potential futures in front of them. Gone. Lives and families shattered. Yet, the American public was asked to respond with even more of their hard-earned American Taxpayer Dollars in order to rebuild what war had obliterated.

People and nations took advantage of our largesse, our kindness, our generous and giving natures — to the detriment of the nation itself, both during World War II and afterwards.

We went from being givers, to a fault, into the category of naïve and, now, these days, directly into the category of unnecessarily guilty and — worse yet — chronically stupid.

Americans have little sense of, what I spell out on my show opener: history, facts, logic, rationality, clarity, proportion, context, tradition, and something in the most dire of short supplies, common sense.

So this is our pit, our hole. We dug it ourselves. Sadly, altogether too many people are ignorant of the First Rule of Holes: “When you find yourself in one, stop digging.”

We got ourselves into this predicament both because we were originally good natured, and then we became greedy, and decided we could further exploit situations.

Demorats, historically the party of racists — decided sub rosa that they required an entirely new class of slaves. First, those damned black slaves were freed, then they were re-subjugated by Lyndon Baines Johnson, a Demorat, in 1964. Then their families were ripped apart.

But that wasn’t enough. Particularly when, more recently, those damned uppity blacks decided to think for themselves and break their own mold, break their own Demorat chains.

From that point — I mean, to think that any black would vote for Donald Trump 45, much less Donald Trump 47 — American blacks became betrayers, underminers, traitors, disloyal. And an entirely new cadre of personnel had to minded in order to provide and perhaps even expand Demorat power and control which, naturally, yields more money, and then more power and control.

Those groups? Mexicans. Then illegal invaders of all sorts and stripes. “Visions of sugar plums danced in their heads.”

You may not know this, but illegal invaders are counted in the US census. Which is why Demorats completely lost their shit when President Trump suggested that they should no be. Why is this important?

Because the number of counted persons in a state equate, essentially, to the number of Representative seats in the House, Demorats want illegal invaders not just for the votes — as they reason such invaders would be grateful — unlike the American blacks — but for the seats. Vermont, for example, has one representative seat.

Kalifornia had 53 seats, but following the 2020 census, lost one House seat due to population loss.

See how this works?

The influences are great, the powers arrayed against the United States of America are great, the vast powers and influences warring against the American Taxpayer, the actual American citizen, as likewise great.

We created this problem. No outside force is here to help. No one. Absolutely no one. So if we don’t take care of ourselves, we can expect zero assistance.

The US was thrust into a semblance of a Doom Loop decades ago. We are experiencing a Doom Loop right now.

Just as a soft coup was aligned against a presidential candidate, a president-elect, a winning presidential candidate, and then a sitting president — Donald John Trump, OMB, Orange Man Bad, the guy with the dead orange cat on his head .  .  .

So is a soft Civil War being waged against the actual citizens of the United States of America.

It’s up to us to take our country back. To stop the Doom Loop.

We have the capability. We have everything we need right in front of us. What we require is the united will to do so.

Elements on the Demorat, Leftist, Globalist, anarchist, Marxist, and American Media Maggot side are hoping we’ll take things right up to, and including, CWII. Civil War II.

I hope we don’t.

But history repeats.

And we must learn from history.

PG&E: destroying your property before they leave your rental house?

Why have I asked if PG&E is now like the stormy, long-term renter you somehow invited into your rental house years ago but, now, because you’ve recently found out that they’ve managed to destroy a good portion of your property, the neighbors are complaining and your property values are subsequently plummeting — you’ve got to get them out?

Because PG&E, I’m positing, may be acting like those bad tenants right now. By destroying your house and your property values. Purposely and with knowledge of their actions.

If you’ve been a landlord or you know one, you realize what I’m talking about. The tenants that, upon receiving the eviction notice, decide to punch holes in your walls, steal your appliances, rip down doors, break windows and then leave because, after all, they can’t be in your house any more.

So if you’re kicking them out, boy are you gonna pay!

PG&E doesn’t really like its customers any more because they’ve had the temerity to try to sue for 85+ deaths — a feat they won’t yet be able to accomplish as PG&E filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January of this year (the largest utility bankruptcy in US history), facing $30 billion dollars in wildfire liability — so PG&E (never faced with such animus before in its corporate life) has decided to, as it begins to exit, rip your house apart. Because it can.

How? By cutting off your power whenever the hell it feels like it under the guise of “we’re just helping you avoid wildfires.” Except that, yeah, that’s not working either.

Have you ever heard another utility say “in order to save you from electricity, we’re going to have to cut your electricity”? It would be similar to saying “in order to save you from water, we’re going to cut off your water.” Or your air, if they could.

And oh yes, they’re cutting off power to areas that aren’t really subject to wildfires. But PG&E doesn’t care. It’s going to shit on your bed for as long as you allow it to.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, its managers and CEOs are having a wonderful time at your expense. And they’re really enjoying watching you suffer. What fun! More champagne!

As Fires Ravaged California, Utilities Lobbied Lawmakers for Protection

by Ivan Penn, 1-5-19

LOS ANGELES — As California’s deadliest wildfire was consuming the town of Paradise in November, some of the state’s top power company officials and a dozen legislators were at an annual retreat at the Fairmont Kea Lani resort on Maui. In the course of four days, they discussed wildfires — and how much responsibility the utilities deserve for the devastation, if any.

If any. Pass the Laphroaig! Great luau! More rotisserie pig! More leis!

But get this:

It is an issue of increasing urgency as more fires are traced to equipment owned by California’s investor-owned utilities. The largest, Pacific Gas and Electric, could ultimately have to pay homeowners and others an estimated $30 billion for causing fires over the last two years. The most devastating of those, the Camp Fire, destroyed thousands of homes in Paradise and killed at least 86 people.

Realizing that their potential fire liability is large enough to bankrupt them, the utility companies are spending tens of millions of dollars on lobbying and campaign contributions. Their goal: a California law that would allow them to pass on the cost of wildfires to their customers in the form of higher electricity rates. After an earlier lobbying push, legislators have already voted to protect the companies from having to bear the cost of 2017 fires, and utilities are seeking the same for 2018.

What a great world that would be! Feed the pig! Pass the pig!

But public interest groups say the utilities are effectively seeking a bailout for mistakes made by well-compensated executives. The utilities have been frequently criticized, for example, for not trimming trees along power lines. Some policy experts and lawmakers say it might be better to break up PG&E, replace its board and management or convert it into a publicly owned utility.

Uh oh. This doesn’t sound good. But that wouldn’t hurt customers, would it?

People on both sides fear that the state, which prides itself on being a leader in the fight against climate change, could be on the cusp of an energy crisis — its second in less than two decades. In 2000 and 2001, California was roiled by blackouts, soaring electricity rates and the bankruptcy of PG&E after the state made missteps in deregulating the power industry.

Energy crisis? Again? Hold that thought. Did you folks know this:

Just two months before the Camp Fire, PG&E seemed to have solved its most pressing problem: protecting its shareholders from footing the bill for the 2017 wildfires. On the typical bill of $100 a month, the company estimates, a customer would pay an additional $5 for every $1 billion the utility borrowed to cover damages.

Perfect. Ratepayers footing the bill for the homicidal PG&E’s incompetence.

The companies waged a multimillion-dollar campaign to secure that protection. In the first nine months of 2018, the three investor-owned utilities collectively gave $5 million to the campaigns of state lawmakers, as much as $1 million more than they had in any full year since 2011, according to Consumer Watchdog, an advocacy organization in California.

That’s cash that should have gone to the customers and the people injured or killed.

PG&E stepped up its lobbying effort, too — spending $8.4 million in just the first nine months of 2018, compared with $1.6 million in all of 2017 and $1.1 million in 2016. The company’s spending in the first three quarters exceeded 2017’s top spender, Chevron, which spent $8.2 million that year, according to Consumer Watchdog.

“Money talks in Sacramento, and big money talks loud enough to buy a big bailout,” said Jamie Court, president of Consumer Watchdog. “There is no legislator of either party, even those who don’t take money from the utilities, who doesn’t worry about bucking the utilities.”

Consumer groups say the efforts to protect utilities are particularly galling because Californians already pay more for power than people in other Western states. The state’s residential electricity prices are between 19 percent and 40 percent higher than in neighboring Arizona, Nevada and Oregon.

Remember I mentioned another Kalifornia energy crisis? Keep reading.

For starters, PG&E was one of the prime backers of the catastrophic law that deregulated California’s energy sector, which led to rampant fraud, manipulation and speculation in the electricity market by energy-trading companies like Enron, causing artificial electricity shortages, massive black-outs, 20-fold increases in electricity rates and, ultimately, to PG&E’s own bankruptcy.

That didn’t go well. I was here. Rolling brownouts in the summer and skyrocketing rates.

Instead of letting the deregulated market do its magic and let a more competitive company step in, PG&E lobbied California’s pliable legislators for a 40% rate increase and two rounds of bailouts that came to a total of $16 billion, courtesy of PG&E customers. In fact, the utility’s 5 million ratepayers are still paying for the company’s mistakes through mandatory fees. By the time PG&E’s bankruptcy-related debts are paid off in 2012, ratepayers will each have dished out around $1,500 to keep it from collapsing.

Whoa, us lucky Kalifornians! But was it a real crisis in 2001? No, of course not. Listen:

But how is PG&E acting like bad renters?

Because they realize that shutting off your power hurts you personally and sometimes physically, and they know that the process of de-energizing the lines and re-energizing the lines and the concomitant neglected equipment is having a deleterious effect on all the infrastructure.

Transformers, high voltage power lines and associated heavy electrical equipment is designed, as you would suspect on any average electrical grid, to work constantly and dependably. It was designed to take high loads, some occasional power spikes and the occasional outage when lines break and power is diverted.

It wasn’t designed to be started and stopped like the engine on your car.

None of it was engineered to be de-energized and then re-energized with any kind of regular frequency. That’s not the job of that equipment. Its job is to carry big voltage. You recall how PG&E has consistently made something of a “big deal” about re-energizing its equipment and the subsequent checks they must make prior to restoring power? Apparently there is an excellent reason for that.

Because this easily-ignored and likely bypassed tidbit exists six paragraphs down:

PG&E said inspectors found 55 instances of damage to their equipment statewide.

PG&E “inspectors.” People whose job it is to monitor lines and apparatus following de-energization. Does PG&E know — or do other electrical equipment and transformer manufacturers know — what kind of damage is done when you place such stress on these systems under these circumstances with, now, regularity?

I think I could make an excellent argument for saying there is an even greater stress being placed on PG&E lines and equipment already in questionable shape by bringing the system up and down — to the point where one must ask: is doing this jeopardizing customers with an even greater risk of arcing, flashing and resulting wildfires?

Smart people will want to have answers to those questions.

And smart people will realize that the PG&E management recognizes its days are numbered, that they’re soon to be torn apart and thrown to the wolves. So fuck it. If they can’t have their bloated-pig PG&E, then you won’t have it either.

I can hear the sound of holes being kicked in drywall from here.

BZ’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon Radio Show, Thursday, 11-7-19, with special guest ANDREW POLLACK, author of WHY MEADOW DIED

Featuring Right thinking from a left brain, doing the job the American Media Maggots won’t, embracing ubiquitous, sagacious perspicacity and broadcasting behind enemy lines in Occupied Fornicalia from the veritable Belly of the Beast, the Bill Mill in Sacramento, Fornicalia, I continue to proffer my thanks to the SHR Media Network for allowing me to utilize their studio and hijack their air twice weekly, Tuesdays and Thursday nights, thanks to my shameless contract — as well as appear on the Sack Heads: Against Tyranny Show every Wednesday night.

Hour 1BZ spoke with ANDREW POLLACK, father of Meadow, Andrew’s 18-year-old daughter who died in the February 14th, 2018 (Valentine’s Day) shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, otherwise known as the Parkland shooting. Andrew spoke about his comprehensive new book WHY MEADOW DIED, an expose of the hundreds of mistakes made by Leftists that essentially ensured that the suspect, Nikolas Cruz, was damned near escorted into the shooting by the Broward County Public Schools and the Broward County Sheriff’s Department under massive Leftist and former Sheriff Scott Israel.

Hour 2: BZ continued talking about Parkland, and then spent the rest of the show with his SHR Media Network Special Report: “Why You Should Never Vacation Again In California.”
