Show 15-19 Summary: Tap your ruby slippers, Dorothy. It’s time to get back to reality. We are on the threshold of ridding ourselves of one of the biggest, most expensive scams in human history. Climate Change and so-called “green energy” (it’s not) are on the ropes, thanks to their bottomless free taxpayer money drying up. It’s amazing how this scam has fooled so many people. But maybe it shouldn’t be a surprise. They billions of dollars flooded the media to spread global warming hysteria and green energy propaganda. which led to hundreds of billions of dollars wasted on high cost, inefficient green energy. So long, goodbye.

This Week – The Wizard of Oz and Other Fantasies 

It was the Green Brick road to the Golden City. And Dorothy and her companions were told they just needed to make it down the path to reach the Gold City and all their greediest dreams would come true. Trillions of dollars waited for them. More wealth than they could ever imagine.

And then Trump got elected.

Now, with the wave of a pen, and dragging a reluctant Congress behind him, Trump is cutting off their funding they need to keep the scam alive. By taking away the billions of free taxpayer money from their marketing and propaganda, green will have to stand on its own. But because it only ever survived through massive subsidies, it won’t. It is more expensive. It is inefficient. And it will never meet the energy needs of tomorrow.

Renewable Green Energy Exposed as the Fraud it is

First up we welcome back Dr. Bonner Cohen, a senior policy analyst at CFACT. so many people have been fooled by Climate Change and Global Warming they believed green energy (it’s not green) would save us from the predictions the world would end.

Scary predictions led places like Spain and Germany and the rest of the EU to spend enormous amounts on inefficient green energy. Just weeks ago, Spain went 100% renewable. For one day. they quickly turned their nuclear plant back on. Which they plan to decommission. but they might want to hold off on that because a funny thing happened. The wind stopped blowing, and the sun stopped shining. And the entire country’s grid went down. A blackout that affected all of Spain, Portugal, and parts of France.

I wonder if anyone sitting in the dark thought that, just maybe, these renewables weren’t such a great idea after all.

We talk about what happened — and the irony of what was happening that same day over in Poland.

Global Warming Programming and Predictions

Next, we talk with Marc Morano, the editor of Climate Depot — fantastic clearing house of real information about the scam of Climate Change. The Doomers have been making catastrophic climate predictions for decades. But none of them come true.

Or, actually, they do come true. Tune in to find out how they do it.

Our prediction: “Green” energy and fake renewables may disappear but in 2170, Climate Change Doomers will still be predicting we only have 10 years to do something. Bank on it.

But now that the public money is drying up for green energy what does that mean for the overall scam of Climate Change? How long will it take to deprogram people who have been fooled but can’t admit they’ve been fooled?

That might become easier now that the propaganda arm of climate change is losing all their billions they got for things like so-called research to prove climate change was real. And that it really will happen — this time. Trust us!

Google, one of the biggest pushers of the climate change scam, is suddenly taking a hard turn away from green energy by going nuclear. And that runs them right up against reality. They can’t keep telling us that green energy is the solution when clearly they themselves are living the opposite.

Tap your ruby slippers, Dorothy. It’s time to get back to reality!

Show 14-02 Summary: You probably missed the big election integrity news this last week. But that could be a little understandable because there was a lot of news this week. If the weather predictions hold true for some of our listening areas, it is definitely a good weekend to stay inside and listen to I Spy Radio. And as it happens, we have a former weatherman on this week. Fan favorite and regular guest, Chuck Wiese, joins us to talk through a huge news week — and one that was filled with stories in which he has expertise as a scientist, commercial airline pilot, and election integrity activist. We talk weather prediction, global warming, election fraud, airplane doors, and other hot topics from this and last week’s news.

This Week – Stories You Might Not have Heard

We welcome back fan favorite and regular gust, Chuck Wiese, to talk about some of the major news stories these last two weeks. And they all just happen line up well with Chuck’s expertise and experience. Chuck Wiese is an academically trained scientist with a degree in meteorology. (Which he obtained before the universities went woke and through science out in exchange for activism and big propaganda grants.) He spent years in the news business as a TV weatherman for a major Portland network before becoming a commercial airline pilot. After retiring from those, he has become a political activist — as we all should be —focusing especially on election integrity. And boy was there some election integrity news this week.

Tune in to hear a wide-ranging interview covering why weather predictions, especially here in the Pacific Northwest, are so difficult to be accurate more than 48 hours out. We talk developments in election integrity, including the Georgia prosecutor Fanni Willis going after President Trump only to expose herself as being corrupt. She paid over $650,000 to her boyfriend who has never been a prosecutor. And was dumb enough to charge his visits to the Biden White House to her office leaving a paper trail of corruption.

Election Integrity News – Did You Miss It?

Speaking of Fanni Willis, there was election integrity news you almost certainly missed. Especially if your main news source is the mainstream news. Trump released a devastating report: “Summary of Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election in the Swing States.” (If you have not seen this, see the Links section below to download a copy.)

The true “big lie” from 2020 is from the media: there was no evidence of election interference or corruption. That’s the lie. The “big truth” is that there is massive amounts of election fraud. And we talk through just one county in one state: Fulton County, Georgia.

Now you know why Fanni Willis is desperate to attack Trump. Marxism/Leftism 101: accuse the other side of that which you yourself are guilty.

Dumb Things Dumb People Do

The push for green energy (it’s not green) is on a downward spiral. And if you’re in an area this weekend getting hit by all that cold and ice, you’re glad your only power is NOT solar or wind. But beyond the push for green energy (it’s not green), EVs have suddenly taken a dive. All across the U.S. and even in the green-energy-crazy (it’s not green) United Kingdom EVs are suddenly unpopular. Why?

And did you see the dumbest dumb thing thew globalists and global warmers have come up with now? Listen in and don’t miss it.

Show 13-42 Summary: Do you remember how environmentalists used to want to “save the whales”? And they were angry at “greedy corporations”? Now, those same environmentalists have figured out they can make billions from taxpayers by forcing states to take definitely-not-green offshore wind farms. Whales be damned. Calling it “green” doesn’t make it environmentally friendly. Calling it “saving the planet” doesn’t make it less greedy. This week, learn about the expensive, inefficient, and environmentally damaging wind farms the Biden administration is eager to shove down states’ throats. And how to fight back. Because right now, they’re trying to shove a windfarm off Oregon’s Southern Coast.

This Week – The Lunacy of Wind Farms

It’s always easy to spend someone else’s money. Just ask any politician. It’s even easier to spend it if those billions (trillions!) you’re spending are going to people who will help re-elect you. Ever since I Spy Radio’s first year in 2011, we recognized that the environmental movement had become anti-development, anti-free-market, and decidedly anti-American.

It just so happens another organization got its own start with much the same realization: The Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow. Or CFACT. CFACT started back in 1985 and since then, they have grown into one of the most trusted, most respected sources of real information and real action to push back against the Far Left environmental movement. And win.

Right now, the Biden administration is giving out billions of free taxpayer dollars in a spending spree making the $130 billion (and counting) to Ukraine look like pocket money. Biden is shoving 100s of billions into wind farms. And, in particular, offshore wind farms.

CFACT on Offshore Windfarms

This week, we welcome Craig Rucker, the president and co-founder of CFACT, to talk about green energy, the billions the Left is making from it, and the billions of taxpayer dollars wasted on these offshore wind farms.

If you are not familiar with CFACT, you should be. Check out their great work, articles, videos, and a lot more on cfact.org.
And if you’re looking for good, reliable, and real facts about “green energy,” Global Warming, and more, be sure to visit CFACT’s Climate Depot.

It turns out these offshore wind farms are most definitely not environmentally friendly. On the East Coast, where there are already more than 3,000 wind farms spread out of 2.3 million acres. And since then, whales have been washing ashore, dead, in unprecedented numbers. Including the highly endangered Right Whale, of which there are less than 300 animals remaining. Why? Here’s a hint. It’s not Global Warming. The only thing that changed in their environment were these wind farms.

But what can we do to stop these? Especially here in Oregon, where greedy developers and government bureaucrats eager to spend 100s of billions of mandated taxpayer dollars have their sights on Oregon’s beautiful Southern Coast.

Tune in to hear how CFACT is successfully fighting back. And how the economics of “green” isn’t green when they start losing taxpayer subsidies.

Don’t miss: Conservation Nation’s (a CFACT project) video, “Save the Whales from Ocean Industrialization.”

Offshore Wind Farms off Oregon’s Southern Coast

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has targeted Oregon’s pristine Southern Coast for one of Biden’s costly offshore wind farms. We bring back Jennifer Hamaker, the president of Oregon Natural Resource Industries (or ONRI), to talk about this multi-billion-dollar windfarm project.

Jennifer, whose family on her dad’s side were commercial fishermen, talks to us what it’s like to grow up in a fishing family. What the way of life means to them. And how these offshore wind farms will endanger that way of life, the fish and birds and mammals in the sea, and the coastal communities.

And for what? A multi-billion-dollar wind farm that will only generate about 1.2 gigawatts of electricity. So greedy green companies can make billions, endangering the marine life environmentalists claim they want to protect, only to generate not even 10% of Coos Bay’s yearly electric? Really?

Help Stop Oregon’s Planned Offshore Wind Farm

ONRI is helping organize resistance to the offshore wind farm scheme. They have gotten the word out about public meetings. And are alerting people to get their public comments in to oppose this windfarm.

They kind of hide the comment button. (Click for full size.)

And it’s been working. There has been so much push back, especially at these public meetings, that the bureaucrats have pushed back the deadline for public comments until October 31, 2023.

Submit your public comments today about the planned offshore wind farm off Oregon’s coast. Go here for the main page to read the document if you’d like. Note that they kind of hide the comment button (see the picture before you head there). Or just go here to jump directly to the comment page.

Don’t be silent! Public outcry has been proven to stop these ugly, expensive, colossal taxpayer swindles. Skeptical? Then listen and learn.
