Ergonomic Terrorism?

Wow, hip-hip-hooray the 115th Congress can work together when push comes to shove! Usually, since about the time the 102nd came to be, it is nothing shy of continuous "Bipartisan Bickering" - but I have the proof-in-the-pudding of "Bipartisan Bartering"! What's in a name? It depends, but take a town with a name like "Tranquility", it brings an interest in my book and is living proof evidence of today that Congress does at times find common ground across the isle - for the good of thy nation 'Tis of Thee. Nestled away in the agricultural Mecca of California between olive trees and orange groves, this "Tranquil" town with a name that is "All American" was established in 1910 and boasts a population today of 800 - NO same-sex marriages of record! This is farmland as far as the freedom eye can see, wherein Donald Trump signs are common place road side attraction distractions. Located about 50-miles from Fresno, it finds meaning today and fortifies those weekly "Jobs-Growth" numbers that even Donald Trump wants to believe is his own-doing ownership - but we must beware that the truth out-of-the-bag could demonstrate contempt. And a job around "Tranquility", once upon a time it meant boarding the "Farm Labor Train" - today it means getting into the swing of things hi-tech with wage rewards and work conditions safe. Woody would be proud! For the past 3-years, mostly during the terms of endearment under Barack Obama the 44th, this area has been bathing in renewable energy infrastructure building - jobs, jobs, jobs and more jobs on the horizon. And remember, renewable energy "builds" gets a sizeable rebate from Uncle Sam. And remember, that the "Incentive Tax Credit" which affords a reduction in revenue of 30% for building this solar stuff, it was renewed by Obama before he decided to retire and play golf with no restrictions an office to run. Now what makes this solar energy project a success story something of interest, the batting zone for political maneuvering this farm-belt, it is surrounded by 3-Republican House "Rats" and 3-Democratic House "Brats". Sorry, but sometimes we can't handle the "Truth" what our representative body does these days so the name game introduces some challenging opportunities to get even. Look, the entire Congressional entourage just left  on a bullet-train for a 2-week "Spring Break", what gives besides being paid for truancy and no transparency? Back to the California olive branch belt. Now does Devin Nunes of District 22 ring a bell? Should, as he finds intimate late night rendezvous with the Oval Office "in like Flynn"! How about Kevin McCarthy of District 23 along with David Valadao getting votes from District 21ers, the "Rat" brigade and "No Way a Bullet Train"! And for the "Brat" brigade we find a Jim Costa, Jimmy Panetta and Salud Carbajal representing Districts 16, 20 and 24 respectably and "Way a Bullet Train"! So the clientele that live and try to find work in these surrounding districts, for the members of the House it means a vested interest in this "renewables" business - which is possible only through the subsidies courtesy of Uncle Sam's generosity. When complete in a few years, the "Tranquility" project will produce 400000000 watts of mean=green=clean electricity and be capable of powering air-conditioning for 200000 California homes then some. Liberal cooling at its best! And of all the "Tweets", all the "Twitter" and Tee-off time, not once has ZDonald Tyrump mentioned anything about doing away with this "Renewables' Handout"? Almost 80-days into his...forget what it's called! OK, here it is in a nutshell. Now anybody that has made it to this point in this advertisement, probably if a Trump jock supporter - fromageunder worshippers - chastising the liberals for wanting to go green has gone missing-in-action and was one of ZDonald Tyrump's talking points throughout the Russian Federation campaign season. But wait, there's more fromageunder cheese! See, today Texas is way ahead of California in solar and wind, in the category of renewable recovery projects in service and on the drawing boards. Yes, the "Jade Helm" state is front and center taking advantage of the sun god "Ra" and the big bad wolf "I will huff and I will puff" energy, and of course taking advantage of that lucrative 30% "tax write off" incentive. In fact with the "Lone Star" over in Haskell county, that town can't get enough solar - and this is Rick Perry's hometown. He is the new "Energy Czar" for the entire nation going "Clean"! Now in California, going green was mandated by Governor Brown, that by 2020 15% of electricity domination was to be through "renewables", so there has been a race on to make that deadline - else pay stiff fines! But in Texas, the quest for "renewables" is not orchestrated by legislation, but through investment income! Likewise with California, ranch owners are cashing in for income through long term leases on property that is worthless - to allow for construction of solar and wind! And herein is where the "Ergonomic Terrorism" comes into play. Yes, from the comfort of a beach deck lounge chair out at a Mar-a-Lago like resort with a mint julep in one hand and a pen in the other free hand that is not being used to jerk off the American dream, "Rich" bleeding heart bands of thieves are taking advantage of Uncle Sam as that pen is a terrorist weapon in action. See, it behaves like this and takes its cue from the Russian "Illegals Program". Like that "sleeper agents" network of illegal immigrant spies, from Russia with love to Canada then easy to sneak into the United States - the same damn thing that is occurring today in the "renewables" heisting. Even though ZDonald Tyrump has sworn up and down the 18th hole at Mar-a-Lago that China was to blame for manufacturing loses here in the Homeland and he was to put a stop to it, the bleeding continues!  That humongous solar farm that is being erected on "retired" agricultural land in Tranquility, the components are coming from China. Just like how the "Illegals Program" infiltrated, the stuff needed to utilize the sun - exported from Xi Pingpong plants, taking a breather in Canada then sent to America! Yes, $millions$ in lost opportunities for American manufacturing - and this is something that is going balls-to-the-wall since the "Tower Maggot" came to town on the Bozo bus. Now it's made in China, moved through Canada so that 30% ITC...where is that in this equation? It is called Wall Street investor greed. Yes indeed, guys that don't give a rat's ass about being green doling out loot so they can reclaim a discount on their other earnings. The rich are getting richer, no doubt about it, and "We the Taxpayers" are getting screwed "Big Time". See, if I were a power company under jurisdiction a regulatory agency and joined in this free-for-all with solar energy along with visions of a 30% reduction in revenue taxation, all well and good as all cost savings including any rebates - it gets channeled to my customers. Not in this case with goods from abroad, the icing on the cake is being consumed by the "greedsters" because a foreign entity cannot claim this "Incentive Tax Credit" and we the consumers will never see the advantage that should be realized and it is genuine double dipping because we are  also paying for it through the tax incentives handout - OK giveaway agenda. So, with the stroke of a pen investors can give away some loot in realization that it will all be returned with interest and a 30% incentive check from Uncle Sam. In the case of the "Tranquility" project,  with a $billion$ dollar build portfolio, the labor market will consume $150-million and it means 12000 jobs over the lifetime of the project. Surrounding businesses will see upwards $50-million spent locally, in the districts mentioned above wherein the Rats & Brats see the advantage of keeping quiet on what is really going down. Best way to keep that "Do Nothing Job for Life", fool the people that you care and this is "Making America Great Again"! So this going green does have its advantage, except when one looks at how that investor is making out - in this single case a tax write-down for the investor's clientele of $300-million. It is blown away like smoke, and "We the People" get screwed that same amount x 2! No wonder the ZDonald Tyrump administration has been so quiet with this energy incentive, as the outsiders are getting rich and spending more and more time doing business at the Mar-a-Lagos. Legal fraud? How about "Ergonomic Terrorism", more damage with a pen then with a gun! And this is happening today, from sea to shining sea as going green is not for the clean, but for the other "GREEN" that excites the "Wall Street" crooks. Imagine, if that $billion$ was all for the "Homeland"! So there is a reason that the ZDonald Tyrump has been so quiet and not made any indications about placing a halt on this "Incentive Tax Credit" for going "Green"...the answer is easy! And with Bipartisan Bartering, silence is golden!

I Smell RATS

Trump's Mad Dog - 2nd Strike?

By targeting the ShayRAT dilapidated air base in Syria, what message of military strength is the U.S. sending to our enemies? It has been about 12-hours since Trump ordered 59 Tomahawk missiles to descend down upon al-Assad's military machine - as a ways and means to send the message loud and clear that poisoning children is a WAR CRIME and would not be tolerated. Mission Accomplished? Not even close, as with the aftermath pictures being "Twittered" it appears but for a lame duck attack - the trigger pulled as Trump enjoyed eating duck down at Mar-a-Lasso. The Tower Maggot's hiding place during the attack - what "WAR ROOM"? According to the Pentagon, the coordinated attack was to cripple al-Assad's air force, its birds, munitions holding bunkers and jet fuel loading facilities. What we know so far, not much and it appears to have been a wasted effort - flop Uno-Uno for Trump on the military stage. According to local legends, only 23 of the $1.4-Million buck booster shots made it to its intended target - which means strewn across Syria are about 36 un-detonated 1000-pound bombs and I am sure that ISIS is out patrolling where in hell these munitions are resting. So the "Hawks" hit a Syrian "jet" repair facility and the bombs away destroyed only 6 Russian made jets that were in the shop for repair? Wow, a Pentagon dentathon as the Syrian air force has over 500-MIGS and 200-Russian made attack helicopters for transporting troops to kill the innocent men, women and children of that war torn nation being used as Vladimir Putin's PNAC stage punching bag! Was this attack misguided? See, Syrian military bases have Russian Federation advisors, so when Tillerson called Putin to tell him about the battle plans being drawn - the "RAT" base was abandoned and all air worthy jets were flown to a safe haven - Russian military bases built in Syria the past year. And the real telltale sign that this attack was misguided, had this air base been one of al-Assad's strongholds, well jets need fuel and lots of it so when a 1000-pound warhead hit the fuel tanks - bar boom. So had this base been what Mad Dog Mattis thought as a poster-child target to send a message to al-Assad, still smoldering this morning would be the fuel, and that would mean billowing black smoke still - but none! When the word was given that Trump would engage some semblance of military action while dinning, the jets still air worthy scrambled as it was a coordinated effort with Russia - so on the retreat with word of "Incoming" were al-Assad's buttholes in uniform along with Putin's advisory assholes. This is why the conflict in Syria has been so difficult, because of Putin! And let's not forget, Obama wanted Congressional approval to go to WAR with al-Assad, which meant tangling with Russia. But Obama was not afraid, not of al-Assad, not of Putin the punk, but our Congress whimpered out on any approval forward. DO NOT place any blame on OBAMA this nightmare before US once again in Syria! It will take an all out WAR effort to quench the madness in Syria - with al-Assad and ISIS. I wonder, did Tillerson ever give back that "Order of Friendship" award? More like "Order of Fiendship"! But this is the "Mad Dog's" second failed military mission. Remember that in January Trump witnessed that 1st military "Mission Accomplished Abortion" in Yemen, which left a NAVY Seal Team-6 dead while trying to protect an 8-year old American named Nawar - when the Pentagon had to publish "fake news" in efforts to smoke screen reality of 30-civilian deaths. And here I am, still waiting for some confirmation that the $83-Million buck payload courtesy the U.S. Taxpayers did something to instill the fear factor with al-Assad - it didn't. The only way for this atrocity in Syria to end this Colonel Kurtz Apocalypse Now, is to have guts and tell Putin to get out of our way or else. We have the strongest military in the world, designed to bring peace where no peace has gone before - but we have not the Congressional will, with that we are no longer great! Sorry kids, and the poisoning in the "Killing Fields" will continue. Mad Dog: "I don't lose any sleep at night over the potential for failure. I cannot even spell the word." Please, someone educate this man on the meaning of "FAILURE", then maybe next time we will get it right as we are darn sure convinced that Donald Trump is already a failure! Just In: Pentagon says 20-MIGS destroyed in attack. Said again, with that many jets it means a sizeable fuel depot that could handle the jet fuel requirements for so many war-birds and for that matter no signs of fire & smoke from the overnight attack. And not once as of yet did any snapshots signify a attack that provokes us with confidence that this base was one of al-Assad's strongholds. It was merely a repair facility and the destruction does nothing to offend this war against innocent children!

Cyber-Sabotage Hits Alaska

Intriguing, as it appears we are all cast members of a "Spy verses Spy" melodrama, with this so-called Russian Roulette "hacking" that is today front and center of attention. It is serious business, time consuming trying to understand what happened along with the pending ramifications to come when at the same time a very embarrassing issue for this nation - more than that, it is a new-age WAR. So k-grade test question. What was the date of record along with the documented magnitude of destruction the 1st Cyber-Sabotage that hit this nation? OK, against any nation good or bad? Many in the know think so, that such an attack didn't take place until late in 2007, when our very own cyber-spy network allowed the StuxNET "mole virus" to invade the nuclear processing facilities in Iran. Such a premeditated attack was designed to disable that rogue nation's quest and thirst for a nuclear "deterrent" weapon. After a year plus over-time in the "Top Secret" planning stage it was unleashed and commenced to crash that nation's desire to build the "Bomb" - at least delay such a deployment. Then came the Sony Pictures' "hack" a few years ago, in 2014 when an "In Country" hijacking occurred - wherein a "mole virus" cloned from the StuxNET eavesdropped on office workers and pilfered the celluloid archives for movie drama data! That's right, a virus that could infiltrate and turn on office computers along with enabling the activation of built-in microphones and video cameras, capturing office stuff and transmitting the "blackmail" goods to the spy network. That intrusion was a fallout of the "FLAME" virus cloned from StuxNET and the culprits, well still a mystery. The Iran attack was credited to our government along with Siemens of Germany bravado, with Sony what happens when a virus gets into the wrong hands. These attacks on the innocent are major "privacy" hits, and every day that goes bye we hear of invasions on that "right to be let alone" through the vulnerability of our "must have" gadgets that must be networked. It is happening at fast forward, and like a freight train wreck on the horizon, be prepared. Turn on that cell phone, you are under attack! Soon will come the day when you fart the world will know about it even before the stink dissipates and let's hope never for smell-evision technology! But it is important to get an understanding of the history of this new age cyber-WAR, especially now that the Russians are getting into the "hack" act. Who let the cat out of the bag? We started it! Now the 1st documented non-military attempt to "hack" sabotage the infrastructure in efforts to cause hardship with a windfall of pain and suffering, that mishap occurred way back in the 80s and was designed as an intent to cause a serious environmental disaster. The cyber-spy fantasy grew along with the computer age, as in-roads into hi-tech data bit streaming and visions of "link-up" changed the technology of "eavesdropping" like over-night, so came the vulnerability to be "hacked" growing with leaps and no bounds. It all started taking shape when the Ma-Bell 202 modem was available on the open market, and the cyber-spy age was officially opened for business. Before that, only the military could afford such a luxury of remote eavesdropping. In 1982 after more than 6-years in operation after many years of controversy during the construction phase of an historic massive project that which required Congressional approval, the Trans-Alaska-Pipeline came within seconds of complete failure, due a "hack". Had it not been for a pipeline worker in close proximity to where the "bomb" was about to go off, it could have meant an environmental disaster unprecedented any other disasters known to man so far. Unprecedented because the United States relied on the oil from Alaska as a deterrent, against massive un-controllable crowd motor gas rationing as was witnessed during the early 70s with the Arab oil embargo - the reason that pipeline was built and at the time of the saboteur's disruptive attempt supplying 20% of this nation's energy needs. Had this "hack" continued to success, it would still be an environmental nightmare after 30-years of fallout and who knows how it would have fared and feared with respect to our economic vulnerability. Gas rationing in the states during the embargo had caused many difficulties, people were getting killed and our nation was on the brink of Helter Skelter - it was not unusual to wait in line for gas upwards 4-hours, every other day when the odd & even license plate gig managed the maddening crowds. How this "hack" happened, almost: See, at the bottom of a mountain crossing known as the "Thompson's Pass" wherein the humongous pipeline heads down-hill towards the coast, a remote-gate-vale designed to segregate the pipeline was "hacked" to close from a remote location outside its intended oversight authority. These valves are controlled by a sophisticated computer in Valdez, at the OCC dispatch center with signals sent over micro-wave repeaters along the pipeline then radio linked for final control. When the pipeline is idled due a malfunction, the line is shutdown in an orderly fashion - else things can break apart real easy as the momentum from so much oil flowing at a fast pace must be controlled. It's like a pile-up on a freeway, all it takes is someone's timing a little off! So somehow, someone got a hold of the secret codes that control the 122 valves along the 800-mile pipeline route. Valve 121 at the bottom of the "Pass" is the valve that one would choose to cause unbelievable damage, as the hydraulic head coming down that mountain amounts to thousands of pounds of energy that must be released. In laymen's terms, if that valve were to have inadvertently shut "un-commanded" by the computer, the pipe would literally blow out of the ground and crude oil would soak the wilderness and shower the surrounding rivers unabated for hours, maybe days! It would be a source of pollution that would remain for eons and seep into the ocean after each spring's runoff and kill off everything that relies on the Prince William's Sound marine ecosystem, forever. So fortunate enough, with a pipeline worker so close to the scene the battery power that drives the valve shut was disabled. Close call, too close for comfort and for years following that episode many of the critical valve sites along the 800-mile dip-stick were manned, 24/7 because someone had hacked the system! It was a "hack", not a malfunction as was reported to the oversight authorities. Someone had found out the "secret" code for that valve along with the radio frequency for communications in efforts to engage this attack. All that was required was a Motorola radio, some simple coding and the saboteur had at his disposal a hand-held "bomb"! The company that runs the pipeline came pretty sure close to identifying the individual behind this attempt. It was all speculation, as it was very hard to prove but the employee was soon terminated for reasons suspect - poor performance? Case closed, no need to get the regulators involved just call the valve problem a "computer glitch" accident never to happen again. It required a 2-year effort and millions to solve the problem that it would never happen again, even if the system went hacked - safeguards put in place that could stop any "un-commanded" valve closing by literally placing a  "crowbar" on the bank of batteries at each valve - basically "short-circuiting" the power and killing the valve movement in its tracks. We had entered the "hack" zone! Yes, that is probably the 1st documented "hack" attack upon the United States' "critical" infrastructure. NO, not yet forward to the other attacks listed in the opening of this broadcast, in 2007 and 2014. In 1989, probably the biggest heist "hack" attack designed to cause havoc occurred, well praytell in close proximity to that first attack and this time around very successful. On March 24th, 1989 the wreck of the EXXON Valdez made history. It was a "hack" that perpetrated this disaster unprecedented. And why so successful? The same individual that was fired from the pipeline company due his possible attempt to sabotage the pipeline back in 1982 was at it again, and this time around had aligned himself with individuals bent on getting even with "Big Oil" operating in Alaska. For some individuals, there exists no bounds - when getting even is forefront the expedition, like on a suicide mission. The front to such a success, that which today has been kept silenced, take the stand as an environmentalist then wreck havoc with this getting even. Charles Hamel was an oil broker that was at odds with Alaska's "Big Oil" barons, especially down and out and out to get EXXON. Said again, Hamel was a failed oil broker that tried to get a piece of the lucrative action in Alaska and lost his livelihood along with investment loot confiscated from close associates with dreams of also striking it rich with the "Black Gold". Hamel's deal sold to friends was too good to be true, and he went broke so started to attack "Big Oil" on the environmental front, which was a grandioso facade. So, conveniently turn around that "negative" oil-broker image and set the sights as the Congressional "environmentalist gadfly" and behind the scenes - well we all know what damage that wreck caused some 28 long years back and today oil still causes problems to the marine ecosystem. The residual oil is stubborn, slowly disintegrating as the water temperatures just too damn cold to cause remedial action on the fast track. Without getting into specifics of how this wreck was the brainchild of a "hack", the navigational systems aboard the EXXON Valdez went tampered with through a re-calibration effort from a remote location with the intent to crash the vessel. Said again loud and clear a "hack" job - and so was the extended reach radar used by the Coast Guard compromised on that same night and most likely by the same "hacker", disabling a specially designed warning system to make damn sure a tanker stayed clear of Bligh Reef! If one wanted to make a statement, it was the EXXON Valdez crashing into Bligh Reef! When the EXXON Valdez left the pipeline terminus with a boat-load of crude oil, it was a night of calm seas, somewhat clear skies with the moon peaking out occasionally and no sea-lane traffic difficulties as reported from an ARCO tanker that had just traversed the "Sound" out towards Hinchinbrook Island and with that notice and once through the narrows, the EXXON Valdez tanker was placed on "Auto-pilot" with a predetermined course. A routine voyage, except little did Captain Joe Hazelwood realize that the navigational computer had been "hacked" to provide the wrong information and the tanker followed a course to destruction. The guys on the bridge had no idea, all looked like clear sailing as it was dark out and there exists only a handful of navigational light beacons that could have warned of such an eminent heading towards such a disastrous reef outcropping. The radar scope showed the ship in safe waters, because the "hack" fooled the truth! The EXXON Valdez headed into Bligh Reef at "full speed ahead" - it was not an accident caused by a drunk Captain! When a navigational system is compromised, it is the blind leading the blind and good luck! In fact, the 1st blood tests that were taken of the "We're fetched up hard aground" Captain by a Fish & Wildlife officer, that testing disappeared as it showed no traces of booze. All the evidence of a "hack" went un-noticed as the blame game took off in a direction that strayed from the truth! Take a disgruntled oil broker, a disgruntled pipeliner with credentials favoring a brilliance at radar and electronic technologies and the knowhow to understand the deep state of affairs, a disgruntled conservation officer that lost a good heap of a retirement investing in Hamel's follies - three strikes you're out a ripe recipe for a planned disaster. I was witness to how an individual could from shore dial into a ships navigational systems, and re-calibrate the coordinates but at the time had no idea that sabotage was on the horizon - as what I was shown was merely part of this guys work after losing that pipeline job. See, once the pipeline guy was let go due his participation "maybe" in that valve problem in Thompson's Pass, he then found work as a navigational expert that tested the on-board computers before the tankers embarked on a journey south, and this work was carried out from remote as once he was discharged from the pipeline company he could no longer get clearance to enter the loading facility - no need to visit the tanker as a simple modem with a radio link - same equipment that was used to "hack" that valve on the pipeline! This was way before people started getting excited about security from the standpoint of remote access, as we were all so still fascinated with that computer screen and "Pong", or was it PacMan? Regardless, espionage with the intent to harm came early to Alaska. So along the way, well today Cyber-Spying is a multi-billion dollar business. And then again, Alaska was hit a few more times by "hackers" reaching out to cause a disruption in tranquility. Remember, "I can see Russia from my house" said Sarah, and herein the possibly of the first time that Russia's KGB "hacked" into the US's critical infrastructure, at Ft. Wainwright. In 2014 a suspicious virus shutdown the power plant at this strategic defense shield facility, the base went dark and cold and that "hack" was traced to an eavesdropping "Blue Tooth" device mysteriously communicating with a maintenance technician's laptop. If Sergey Putin was successful in breaching the security of that military base, it is possible that Fairbanks became that window of opportunity to access all of our military and political secrets all the way to D.C. some 4000-miles away! And little known to many, the IRS office "hack" in Anchorage, at Bill Allen's "VECO" castle wherein the breach was used as a clearing house for the influential that had tax problems - pay some cash to Allen's bimbos and get preferential treatment one's tax problems gone for good! Yes, the IRS office was part of Bill's corporation and on weekends when the agents were enjoying some time off, the computers were infiltrated - end of story. That my friend is what was used to take down one on this nation's greatest of dedicated statesmen, Theodore Fulton Stevens, who was used as a fall guy stool pigeon because when push comes to shove some will throw their mother under a bus for cover. Ted was framed, guilty of what? Nothing and just like with Captain Joe, no sustenance with the finger pointing and used as a convenient means to "closure", when the truth in the matter...the Truth? "You Can't Handle the Truth", especially when it comes to what "hackers" have discovered and we may see the same damn outcome with the Russian "hack" attack, far from the "TRUTH"! Let the hacking begin...

Teach, Your Children Well!

It is Simple Simon math, an understanding of how ZDonald Tyrump works through confrontation. Take Henry Murray's "Needs Assessment Push and Pull" criteria along with Ted Kaczynski's "Boundary Theory", we get a Vladimir Putin like character manically depressed and suffering from explosive diarrhea of the mouth - a.k.a. TWITTER! Honestly, if you want to know all about this "tick-tock the clock on the wall, no wonder we're losing time" Helter Skelter time domain of existence we are all stuck in, just study Harvard's Henry Murray! Then take Ted Kaczynski on quantum theory steroids, ZDonald Tyrump has NO Boundary! ZDonald Tyrump is a "hundred" Teds in one...ask yourself what that means for our kids future?

Donald Trump Forbes

Rumor has it that ZDonald Tyrump is about to release his "amended tax returns" for 2000 through 2016 and Kellyanne is rehearsing on how to fib about the foreign investment stuff - a.k.a. Russian Federation bailout. Why so, all of a sudden this long awaited layaway plan finally with transparency in the eyes of the beholder? See, just last week the "Tower Maggot" was kicked off of Forbes' 500-Billionaires listing, a drop of 220 seats from the 2016 listing. Which means a seat way up in the ghetto bleaches for Istinka and family when they get game tickets from daddy dearest. I guess ZDonald had to fake his net worth while running for the U.S. Presidency. But with the eviction notice that he is not in favor with the Bill Gates and Warren Buffets of the world, the "Maggot" isn't today even considered an "average" billionaire - with a net worth $3.5-billion and below the billionaires poverty level of $3.75! Trump is losing a $billion$ dollars a year, which means when he retires from the Oval Office he may need "Meals-on-Wheels" for a ham sandwich. So, by allowing the returns to show his true net-worth...just kidding as the Tyrump is broke! "Buddy can you spare a dime" ring a bell? So thank you Mr. Forbes, for calling out the "Tower Maggot's" bluff as if he still refuses to play the game of transparency, then we know what the "Truth" is all about - He's Freak'n Broke"!

The EXXON Valdez Wreck

March 24th, 1989: Some 28 long years ago, before Donald Trump turned into a madman werewolf apprentice apocalypse, we were awakened with horror from a sound sleep to find Alaska's coastline under attack. From the helm of the mighty hi-tech EXXON Valdez super-tanker, Captain Joe Hazelwood's cry for help both sickening and nauseating; "Coast Guard...I'm fetched up hard aground on Bligh Reef and leaking oil"! Yes, EXXON - the mightiest of oil giants - had just haphazardly flushed from the ruptured cargo holds of a pride-and-joy maritime engineering marvel millions of gallons of highly toxic, life threatening gooey crud! A little after midnight, in somewhat calm seas, the EXXON Valdez somehow found its hull wrecked by the concealment of Bligh Reef - an underwater shoal that was so well known as a navigation hazard that even 3rd graders at the local Valdez school knew about it. Bligh Reef, it was a fixation of doom as was the fact tanker captains that rode aboard these giant tankers in and out of the Valdez "Narrows" were lushes. But alcohol was not a factor in this case, not from the initial "blow" tests performed on Hazelwood, results that mysteriously disappeared during the course of the "wreck's" investigation. Just ask the wildlife guy that was first to board the sinking ship! And because of the environmental sensitivity of that area, yes a pristine wonderland chocking with marine life, the checks and balances that came into play with the everyday decision makers that chartered those sea lanes, it didn't allow for such an accident - it was NOT possible no matter how and what table-top think tankers tested and rested their case on the worst of the worst case scenarios. As I have penned many times before, the wreck of the EXXON Valdez was pure sabotage and evidence to support the "Truth" of this matter not lacking credibility. But my case in point or print gets very little traction even though I have the evidence. Why? Because it was planned by a disgruntled oil broker turned an environmentalist for reasons of trickery. Do you really think Tillerson's EXXON could have claimed such an attack on its infrastructure by sabotage instead of an accident? NO, because it would then lose any and all Lloyds insurance coverage and have to cease business operations - due such a vulnerability. Accidents happen, sabotage should not! And without insurance, tankers are grounded. And imagine taking the stand that an "environmentalist" well-known in Alaska, well known in Congress would attempt such an attack? Get over it, it happened and many got away! And this is not a conspiracy theory. First and foremost, yes it was well-known that the tanker captains on the Alaskan scene liked to drink. But due the precision navigational skills required to steer a super-tanker in an out of the "Valdez Narrows", specially trained "Pilots" would take charge of the helm. So once through the treacherous narrows, it was basically clear sailing - autopilot from the Columbia glacier to ports of call south. And like already mentioned, the U.S. Coast Guard maintained vigilance on every tanker in and out of Alaska with a very powerful radar - that was remarkably disabled the night of the wreck - which meant the Admiral was asleep at the wheel.  So on March 24 that year, calm seas, somewhat clear skies with the full moon illuminating stretches of ocean teaming with sea life, no alcohol in Hazelwood's initial testing - what the hell happened? See, Charles Hamel - now deceased - was a disgruntled oil broker that went to bat against EXXON. Not with respect to environmental issues of concern but a ways and means to make a bunch of money on the fast. Said again, Charles Hamel was an "Oil Broker"! He lost, he lost big-time for himself and a handful of wannabe oil broker investors such a gamble trying to tame the Tiger! The Tiger was mean spirited, especially in Alaska. And Hamel's pipedream, it was built on a scam that was being employed and enjoyed by the "Big Oil" players in Alaska - like EXXON, Mobil, ARCO, SOHIO, BP. A "Legal" scam it was as it didn't hurt anybody! It was their business, stay away! See, when oil is produced out of the ground what comes along for the ride is something called BS&W. It means "Basic Sediment & Water". Now before oil is refined, all the nasty stuff is removed - like the BS&W - which costs a little extra money. Now when the Alaska oil infrastructure was approved back in the 70s, "Think Tanking" designed an infrastructure for reasons supporting a single goal - revenue! One of the things missing the scene in Prudhoe Bay - where the oil is extracted and produced - you don't see any storage tanks, for a reason. When oil is placed in a storage tank, the "BS&W" settles out due natural gravitational attraction. Oil is lighter then water, so a tank will have water, oil and a gas interface. Think of it as a sandwich. So from a bean counting aspect, once oil finds a resting tank, it is "marketable" wherein it takes on ownership of a value. And the original concept of "blood out of a turnip" did not want this to ever be compromised, as the designers wanted that settlement to take place only at the southern terminus of the Trans-Alaska-Pipeline. Why? With 800-miles between Pipeline Milepost 0 and Bligh Reef, a whole lot of value masked manipulation can take place. Look, natural gas out of the ground is ready to boil water, so it has a price tag when it sees light. With crude oil, there is nothing you can do with it until it is refined - so that aspect alone allows for the price manipulation along the way from the well to the gas station. It is the reason that oil companies in realty despise natural gas - unless it can be liquefied as then it is open for price tag negotiations - manipulating in laymen's terms. So a few years after oil started flowing down the big Alaskan pipeline, the owners realized that "water" could make money. With 2-million barrels each day roaring towards Valdez, an appreciable share of that bounty was "water" not yet subject to separation. See, it was all theirs and nobody gave a rat's ass how they conducted the business, from a monetary standpoint. The state of Alaska was getting rich, the oil companies were getting rich, everyone was happy - except Charles Hamel. So, the cash registers at the front end of the pipeline, the meters used to measure the oil went purposely manipulated to cast doubt on the actual water content and make it appear as more "black gold". In a nutshell, if I had a barrel of water and a barrel of oil so mixed and shoved into that pipeline, I would get a receipt for 2-barrels of something heading south. On record, I own 2 barrels of oil! Now when it landed in Valdez and rested in one of the storage tanks at the humongous tank farm - that which could accommodate upwards 9-million barrels or an equivalent of 378,000,000 gallons - the water was allowed to separate. Now that receipt for 2-barrels from up north? Only worth a single barrel - but the lose from the in-to-out equation allows for a business loss write-off of 1 for 1! For every barrel that was counted, water or crude, it made money and the associated lose was equivalent to the going market rate of "crude oil". Imagine getting a $100-buck write-down for a bucket of water? See, if I can sell that barrel at $100-bucks and at the same time have an equivalent write-off - water made a whole lot of money on the Alaskan oil scene.  Hamel was an oil broker before the calling came for jumping on the environmentalist bandwagon, and when he first appeared on the Alaskan scene he sported a Lee Raymond & Rex Tillerson mentality and studied the Alaskan scene through a microscope and realized the advantage of the "water caper". Through such research, he envisioned buying raw Alaskan oil at the going rate and using the water tipoff write-off as a revenue generating device, using the legal and bonafide lose advantage against other investment opportunities all tied to his oil brokerage. But that is wherein he found resistance to interfere with a good thing enjoyed by the "Big Players" and soon realized he was "skunked"! Hamel made a deal for oil, but soon realized that he wasn't getting raw oil from the Prudhoe Bay fields, but conditioned oil in Valdez - wherein the "water" write-off was already being taken advantage of by - BIG OINK OIL! Hamel was "Busted"! Now when he realized his dream, his venture and investors were to see no returns that vision of wealth, Hamel started aligning himself with individuals that would help him cause trouble against "Big Oil" in Alaska. One of those individuals was a brilliant electronic engineer and an expert radar and navigational "hacker", that maintained remote access to the tankers that came in and out of Valdez. His job was to make sure the navigational stuff on the hi-tech supertankers allowed for seaworthy journeys. Look, the EXXON Valdez wreck was the first successful computer hack that manifested a new-age of sabotage - today called the "cyber-WAR" wherein "hacking" takes on many dimensions. I saw this "attack" first-hand, as I was associated with the attackers - but at the time did not realize that possible "sabotage" was the MO behind this mentality, was somebody that evil? On March 24th, 1989, we found out what such a sabotage meant. The EXXON Valdez wreck was planned as a get-even attack. Such a window of opportunity, well it is not hard to see how well planned it was and today those NOT in the know continue to condemn it as a mere reckless accident by a tanker captain that was, well sober at the time of the jolt! And see, Donald Trump is so much like Charles Hamel, and we may never really know the truth in the matter of what will occur under his watch. Time does indeed heal away the wound, but too often we maintain the vigilance of the status quo of "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH" and those responsible sail into the sunset without remorse! Today, Prince William Sound is still sick, as stubborn crude oil remains and for many it is Joe Hazelwood and EXXON still to blame for such an environmental lingering atrocity. When in reality neither had anything to do with this mess - as the success of such an attack rests its case in a get-even "hack" wherein the camouflage of an environmentalist was the climax of the crime so damn well hidden.
