Western Senators Reintroduce Legislation to Supposedly Protect Private Water Rights

Western Senators Reintroduce Legislation to Protect Private Water Rights

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senators Jim Risch and Mike Crapo (both R-Idaho) joined Senator John Barrasso (R-WY), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources (ENR), reintroduced the Water Rights Protection Act, legislation to protect privately owned waters from being seized by the federal government.

“Private water rights and states’ ability to regulate them have been recognized since the West was settled. In Idaho, we’ve been managing water longer than we’ve been a state. Water is ingrained in everything from our industries to Idaho’s constitution. I’m proud to cosponsor the Water Rights Protection Act to protect Idaho’s right to Idaho water for generations to come,” said Risch.

“Idaho has a long-standing and admirable history of effectively managing water rights without encroaching on the private property rights of farmers, ranchers, states and cities,” said Crapo.  “The federal government forcing multiple use permit holders to turn over their privately-owned water rights as a condition of permit renewal undermines state water laws and advances intolerable power grabs by the federal government.”

“We must protect private water rights. Water is the lifeblood of everything we do in Wyoming and the West,” said Barrasso. “Our bill will stop Washington from bullying our ranchers, farmers, tribal members, and other water users. It will make sure unaccountable agency bureaucrats can’t force them to give up their rights. States and local communities have the best knowledge and expertise to manage this critical resource. The Water Rights Protection Act will allow Wyoming to continue successful management by stopping Washington’s power grab.”

The Water Rights Protection Act of 2023 will:

  • Forbid the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture from mandating water users transfer water rights to the United States or purchase water rights in the name of the United States as a condition of any permit, lease, or other use agreement;
  • Prevent unlawful seizures of groundwater; and
  • Recognize state water law and require coordination with states.

Coeur d’Alene: City Council to Remove Prayer from Town Meetings to Avoid Being Sued by Satanists — Anti-Christian Vote Set for June 7

Published on

From the Idaho Tribune

Coeur d’Alene’s city council is set to vote on whether prayer will continue to precede town hall meetings, as it has for decades, or if God should be removed from Coeur d’Alene City Council for good.

This comes just after the Coeur d’Alene City Council voted to open up town hall meetings to all “faiths” — including the Satanic Temple — in order to uphold what some council members called ‘inclusive’ government practices.

Speaking to the CDA Press, the Democrat endorsed Coeur d’Alene mayor, Jim Hammond, said other cities have been sued by satanists for not allowing them to speak before meetings, adding that “It’s possible we [Coeur d’Alene] could end up having to dispense with it [the word of God] all together,”

Tim Bertling, The Constitution, Klaus Schwab, and Agenda 2030

Published on

To the editor;

With the swearing in ceremonies of our local elected officials now behind us I have some questions. Did they all swear to defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States and the State of Idaho? If Commissioner Bertling did then he will be violating his oath of office by supporting agenda 2030 since 16.8 of agenda 2030 promotes world government, and undermines the whole concept of private property rights.

In the words of Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum by the year 2030 you will own nothing and be happy. Klaus Schwab was recruited by Henry Kissinger. And Henry Kissinger was hired by David Rockefeller. Both Kissinger and Rockefeller just love communist China. In his own book Rockefeller admitted to being part of a secret cabal promoting world government. Now back to Bertling and his support of world government which is incorporated into agenda 2030.

Our constitution established National sovereignty ie. the power of a country to control events within its territory. Two levels of government cannot both have sovereignty. You cannot have a free and independent United States of America and have an all-powerful World Government at the same time. Commissioner Bertling , would you please clarify your position?

Conflict of Interest of Boundary County Commissioner Tim Bertling

Published on
UPDATED 03/14/2023 – Added New Photo of Tractor Trailer on Byler Property

On Tuesday, January 17th, the Boundary County Commissioners held a public meeting. During the meeting, the topic of the future location of the Tractor Supply store came up. All of the Commissioners raised their hands and said that there was no conflict of interest, regarding the Tractor Supply. Tim Bertling verbally said that he had no conflict of interest in the “Road and Bridge – Road Standards Variance Application 4-2023” and “Application for Variance to Boundary County Road Standards Ordinance 2020-2”. This is essentially a proposal brought by the property owner James Byler, and Jennifer Nylander who represents Tractor Supply. Here is a recording of where Bertling and the other commissioners said they had no conflict of interest: https://youtu.be/_mms2VRmzUQ?t=117

Let’s go back to the weeks prior to the November 2022 elections. During the weeks leading up to the election, there was a 40-foot flatbed semi-trailer with a large Tim Bertling campaign sign spanning the whole length of the trailer. This campaign trailer was parked in the same lot where the Tractor Supply is supposed to be built.  Although we do not currently have a photo of the campaign trailer and sign sitting on the Byler property, we have confirmed with dozens of people that it was there. We do have a photo of that same trailer with the campaign sign, after it was moved to the location next to the polling center in Bonners Ferry. The Bonners Ferry Herald and their parent company “Hagadone” threatened us with a lawsuit if we did not remove the image of the tractor trailer. They claim the image we used was theirs, and that “Fair Use” was not applicable. Although the image was not theirs, and we have the metadata to prove it, we decided to remove it from this article, for now.

Here is a photo of that trailer sitting on the Byler property, which is the approved building site for the Tractor Supply. Thank you, Local Contributor!

 

Here is an image taken by a local, of the Tim Bertling campaign trailer sitting next to the National Guard station, in town. Thank you, Local Contributors!

Given the fact that the lot owned by James Byler had a giant Tim Bertling sign sitting on it for weeks, is it indeed a conflict of interest for Tim Bertling to cast any vote pertaining to this property? This is a serious question that should be discussed.

Here is the property information:

ATF Just Banned Millions of Guns with Arm Braces – Effectively Making Felons out of Millions of Americans

Factoring Criteria for Firearms with Attached “Stabilizing Braces”

Three stabilizing races attached to machine guns laying on a table

On January 13, 2023, the Attorney General signed ATF final rule 2021R-08F, “Factoring Criteria for Firearms with Attached ‘Stabilizing Braces,’” amending ATF’s regulations to clarify when a rifle is designed, made, and intended to be fired from the shoulder.

The rule outlines the factors ATF would consider when evaluating firearms equipped with a purported “stabilizing brace” (or other rearward attachment) to determine whether these weapons would be considered a “rifle” or “short-barreled rifle” under the Gun Control Act of 1968, or a “rifle” or “firearm” subject to regulation under the National Firearms Act. The rule’s amended definition of “rifle” clarifies that the term “designed, redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder” includes a weapon that is equipped with an accessory, component, or other rearward attachment (e.g., a “stabilizing brace”) that provides surface area that allows the weapon to be fired from the shoulder, provided other factors, as listed in the definition, indicate the weapon is designed and intended to be fired from the shoulder.

This rule does not affect “stabilizing braces” that are objectively designed and intended as a “stabilizing brace” for use by individuals with disabilities, and not for shouldering the weapon as a rifle. Such stabilizing braces are designed to conform to the arm and not as a buttstock. However, if the firearm with the “stabilizing brace” is a short-barreled rifle, it needs to be registered within 120-days from the date of publication in the Federal Register.

This rule is effective the date it is published in the Federal Register.  Any weapons with “stabilizing braces” or similar attachments that constitute rifles under the NFA must be registered no later than 120 days after date of publication in the Federal Register; or the short barrel removed and a 16-inch or longer rifle barrel attached to the firearm; or permanently remove and dispose of, or alter, the “stabilizing brace” such that it cannot be reattached; or the firearm is turned in to your local ATF office. Or the firearm is destroyed.

Please note that this is the text of the final rule as signed by the Attorney General, but the official version of the final rule will be as it is published in the Federal Register. The rule will go into effect once it is published in the Federal Register.

Who is Affected by this Rule?

  • Unlicensed Possessors
  • Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) not under the NFA as a Class One Importer or Class Two Manufacturer SOT
  • FFL Importers or Manufacturers under the GCA that ARE Qualified under the NFA Class One Importer or Class Two Manufacturer SOT
  • Certain Governmental Entities

What Do You Need to Know?

Republican Central Committee Commits Treachery Against the Idaho GOP

Published on

Boundary County Republican Central Committee Commits Treachery Against the Idaho GOP

Prior to the November, 2022 elections, the Boundary County Republican Central Committee (BCRCC) actively supported a candidate that lost the Primary Election, and ran as a write-in candidate. This is a treacherous act against the Idaho GOP, and the GOP as a whole organization.

The BCRCC refused to actively support the candidates that won the Primary Elections. One example of this, is where the BCRCC allowed Tim Bertling, who lost the Primary Election to Steve Fioravanti for a County Commissioner seat, to promote his campaign during a BCRCC public meeting. Bertling was allowed to use the time allocated to him as a “County Official”, to give a speech about his campaign as a write-in candidate. This time is supposed to be used by the County Officials to speak in an official capacity, and are only allowed to speak about official business that pertains to their capacity as an elected official. Les Pinkerton was sitting in as the temporary BCRCC Chairman.

A citizen sitting next to Bertling, attempted to interject the campaign promotion, when Les Pinkerton interrupted the citizen, and demanded the citizen keep his mouth shut, while Bertling was speaking. Pinkerton even stated to the effect that “Tim Bertling has his right to speak for his two-minutes”.

Pinkerton and other BCRCC members gave an idiotic excuse claiming “The Committee had no idea Bertling would speak of his campaign. It all just happened so fast, and we had no way of stopping it”.

One BCRCC member said that “it was a breech of protocol”, regarding allowing Bertling to promote his campaign.

Watching the videos of the meeting, the entire October 3, 2022 meeting was obviously a planned, coordinated attack on a single individual member of the BCRCC over remarks made suggesting corruption in Boundary County. Other elected officials, in addition to BCRCC members took turns attacking the single BCRCC member. This was also gross negligence of duty by the BCRCC to participate in and allow the attacks on an individual. Furthermore, it is obvious that the BCRCC intentionally allowed Bertling to promote his write-in campaign. Many BCRCC members worked with the marxist-democrats in the community, to make sure Bertling got elected. Members even invited Marxist-democrats to attend the BCRCC meetings.

Caleb Davis, who is the Chairman of the BCRCC was out of town. Les Pinkerton sat in as chair in the absence of Caleb Davis. Davis was notified of the fiasco, and given access to the videos of the event. Although it is obvious that the whole thing was coordinated, and Bertling was intentionally allowed to promote his campaign. Caleb Davis did nothing about it, and made excuses for those involved in this travesty.

One of the videos of the treachery can be found here: https://youtu.be/DLH6XdsBIec?list=PLgGnmvs_JFiigZxR9c0FQZK5pQxoscZ5q

Steve Fioravanti was never supported by the BCRCC. In fact, several BCRCC members had Bertling campaign signs on their properties. These people should be banned from the GOP, forever.

New ATF Rule on Pistol Stabilizing Braces will Effectively Ban Millions of Rifles

Published on

From The Blaze.com

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives released a new rule on pistol-stabilizing braces that will effectively ban millions of rifles and has Second Amendment supporters up in arms.

The ATF had previously ruled that pistol braces were legal, but a new rule was sought by President Joe Biden as part of his promise to reform gun laws.

The 296-page document outlines several options that gun owners with stabilizing braces have to avoid prosecution.

“Any weapons with ‘stabilizing braces’ or similar attachments that constitute rifles under the NFA must be registered no later than 120 days after date of publication in the Federal Register,” read the rule, “or the short barrel removed and a 16-inch or longer rifle barrel attached to the firearm; or permanently remove and dispose of, or alter, the ‘stabilizing brace’ such that it cannot be reattached; or the firearm is turned in to your local ATF office. Or the firearm is destroyed.”

Immoral Behavior by Sheriff’s Deputies Allowed by the Sheriff

We have heard that, allegedly, “some Boundary County Sheriff’s Deputies are allowed to openly pursue ‘close’ relationships with local women, while being married.
Sheriff Kramer has been aware of this, but the behavior has been allowed to continue.”

Are there standards in the Department Policy, that forbid this sort of behavior?
If this is true, why is Sheriff Kramer allowing this behavior in the department?

Biden Ban on Gas Stoves Next Step in Great Reset Lockdown of Energy

Published on

From the Post Millennial

Biden admin moves to ban gas stoves in war against fossil fuels

US Consumer Product Safety Commission Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr said, “This is a hidden hazard” and “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.”

Biden admin moves to ban gas stoves in war against fossil fuels

The Biden administration is looking into banning gas stoves, used in roughly 40 percent of American households, to “reduce climate-warming emissions (such as from methane) that exacerbate climate change” as the EPA and WHO claim that the gas stoves emit pollutants that are connected to respiratory illness

According to Bloomberg, US Consumer Product Safety Commission Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr said, “This is a hidden hazard” and “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.”

 

Bloomberg reports that “peer-reviewed research published last month” connected 12 percent of asthma cases in American children to emissions from gas stoves. Biden’s US Consumer Product Safety Commission is considering regulating gas stoves as a response.

John Hasson pointed out on Twitter that one of the primary studies cited by Bloomberg did a study of only 53 homes that were all located in California.

The World Health Organization and the Environmental Protection Agency have claimed that gas stoves emit gasses such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide at levels that are “unsafe and linked to respiratory illness, cardiovascular problems, cancer, and other health conditions.”

Brady Seals, who works for the climate change activist “nonprofit clean energy” group RMI in their “carbon-free buildings program” co-authored one of the referenced studies.

Seals said, “By having a gas connection, we are polluting the insides of our homes.”

In December of 2021, then-NYC Mayor Bill DeBlasio signed a law mandating that newly constructed buildings in NYC ban gas stoves.

Representative Don Beyer of Virginia and Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey have reached out to the Biden administration and said gas stoves have a disproportionate effect on “Black, Latino and low-income households.”

On Twitter, Matt Walsh said, “You will have to pry my gas stove from my cold dead hands,” later adding, “Electric stoves are garbage. They cook slow and unevenly. Gas stoves are superior in every way.”

 

California State Senator Scott Weiner wrote in favor of the ban and said, “Gas stoves are toxic to people’s health. They cause asthma in children, cardiac problems & other disease. They need to be phased out.”

Weiner has also brought forward bills that relax laws for the sex offender registry, puts biological males in women’s prisons, and worked to decriminalize those who infect others with HIV after not telling them of their positive status. Weiner also supports public heroin injection sites and decriminalizing prostitution.

Ian Haworth tweeted, “Joe Biden’s solution to his voluntary destruction of the gas industry is to ban gas cookers, relegating Americans to suffering through food that is either frozen or burned. I.e. tyranny.”

Another user noted, “When you lose power due to a blizzard or hurricane, having a gas stove can save your life. Naturally, the government wants to ban it.”

From Infowars.com

Alex Jones breaks down the government’s Great Reset plan to ban gas stoves amid a 40-year-high recession and skyrocketing energy and food prices.

“Here comes the Biden administration, they say it’s on the table, a total ban of all gas stoves. Banning their sale and then banning the gas you actually get for them,” Jones noted.

He went on to say the globalists are “limiting and demonizing and listing natural things that are part of our environment as toxic.”

“They’re systematically claiming they’re replacing your stoves and your cars and the coal plants and your farms, with sustainable things,” he said.

“And they’re saying organic farming isn’t sustainable, only chemical farming in warehouses run by Bill Gates is, and he’s the biggest farm owner now in the United States,” he added.

Kentucky Joins Growing Movement to Blacklist ESG Banks

Published on

From the Epoch Times

State Treasurer: If they boycott fossil fuels, we won’t do business with them

Kentucky has joined a growing list of conservative states that have begun to boycott banks they charge are discriminating against the fossil fuel industry.

In compliance with a Kentucky law passed in March, State Treasurer Allison Ball yesterday released a list of banks that “are engaged in energy company boycotts.” This list included Wall Street giants BlackRock, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, BNP Paribas, HSBC, and six other smaller banks.

“Energy is important in Kentucky,” Ball told The Epoch Times. “It’s important to the nation, but in Kentucky in particular, about 7.8 percent of our labor force is from the energy sector. We have a lot at stake just because it’s a part of our economy.”

Kentucky’s action to protect its fossil fuel industry follows similar measures by West Virginia and Texas last year. Kentucky is the seventh-largest state in coal production and 71 percent of its electricity depends on coal-fired plants. Kentucky is also responsible for 1.6 percent of America’s oil refining capacity and 2 percent of its natural gas storage. More than half of Kentucky households rely on electricity to heat their homes.

“From an ideological perspective, those industries have been have been targeted for the last few years by the ESG movement,” Ball said. “So our state legislature in Kentucky passed last year a bill that said, ‘If you are boycotting the fossil fuel industry, then we don’t want to do business with you as a state.’ We don’t want to use taxpayer dollars to support an ideology that’s actually targeting and harming our signature industries.”

According to the Kentucky law, known as SB205, the banks on the boycott list have 60 days to dispute the charge and 90 days to “cease engaging in energy company boycotts in order to avoid becoming subject to divestment by state governmental entities.”

Derek Kreifels, CEO of the State Financial Officers Foundation, lauded Treasurer Ball’s action, stating: “She and other state financial officers across the country are leading the movement to ensure that money earned by hardworking American families is used in accordance with their values, not weaponized against them.”

Kreifels told The Epoch Times that he expects more states will follow the lead of Kentucky, Texas, and West Virginia in 2023.

“ESG is front and center in this next legislative session,” he said. Issues of concern could range from fossil fuels to firearms, to plains states like Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa working to protect their farming industries that feed the nation.

“We see the harm that ESG is doing, and we applaud any state official who’s willing to stand up to this scam that is being pushed across America from the White House to Wall Street,” he said.

Many of the financial institutions on Kentucky’s boycott list have signed pledges to reduce carbon emissions across their lending and investment portfolios as members of international clubs like Climate Action 100+, the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), the Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), and the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative (NZAM). While firms who have joined these groups insist that they remain active investors in fossil fuel companies and do not discriminate against them, investment firm Vanguard is one of the few financial firms to withdraw its membership in these clubs.

“It’s remarkable to me that any of these institutions say that they’re not engaging in boycotts, because they have statements that say that they are, and some of them very explicitly,” Ball said. “Blackrock has been very explicit in wanting to cease business with coal companies.”

At a December hearing before the Texas state senate, representatives from State Street and BlackRock testified that they only join these clubs to discuss climate issues with other members, rather than to force an agenda on companies whose shares they own. Despite the pledge of members of Climate Action 100+ and NZAM to “reach net-zero emissions by 2050 or sooner across all assets under management,” many banks and asset managers insist they are doing no such thing in practice.

BlackRock recently received a three-year exemption from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to buy up to 20 percent of U.S. public utilities. Vanguard is currently seeking similar approval.

As the largest asset managers in the world, BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street typically do not divest from fossil fuel companies, but rather buy and hold their shares and work with management regarding the changes they want to see. Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, issues an annual letter to CEOs that details what he considers the most important topics for them to focus on in the coming year, which often includes “sustainability” issues.

“We engage with companies in our portfolios; we do not divest,” State Street Global Advisors’ Chief Investment Officer Lori Heinel stated at the Texas hearing. But Heinel added: “We do not discriminate against companies in any sector, including energy companies … That means we do not tell those energy companies to shift their strategy or to drill more wells.”

In a May letter to the Texas comptroller, JPMorgan Chase wrote: “We provide financial services to many companies that engage in the exploration, production, utilization, transportation, sale or manufacturing of fossil fuel-based energy and intend to do so in the future. Our credit exposure to Oil & Gas as an industry was $42.6 billion as of December 31, 2021.”

Having pledged allegiance to climate-activist causes, however, these firms are now caught between red states that fear their industries and jobs are being targeted, and blue states that insist they honor their pledges to reduce the use of fossil fuels.

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who controls the city’s pension funds, lambasted BlackRock, stating that despite its climate-action pledges, “BlackRock now abdicates responsibility for driving net zero alignment in its own portfolio by saying that it does not ask companies to set specific emissions targets, and that its participation in NZAMi does not mean BlackRock is setting or meeting any net zero targets.”

In a scathing letter last September, in which Lander threatened to withdraw New York City pension funds from BlackRock, he charged that “the fundamental contradiction between BlackRock’s statements and actions is alarming. BlackRock cannot simultaneously declare that climate risk is a systemic financial risk and argue that BlackRock has no role in mitigating the risks that climate change poses to its investments by supporting decarbonization in the real economy.”

BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard, known as the “Big Three” asset managers, are collectively the largest shareholders in 90 percent of S&P 500 companies. Together, they manage approximately $20 trillion in investment and retirement assets.

ESG = The Enslavement of You and Everyone You Know

Published on

ESG

(Environment | Social | Governance)

What is it?

It is the total enslavement of you and everyone you know, sooner than you think.

Get ready for the total enslavement of everyone who is not part of the elite, in the industrialized world. ESG is real; The Mega-corporations and those who rule over us are going to be shoving it down our throats. Have you heard of the “Social Credit Score” system in China? It has been in the US for years, and they just call it ESG.

So where does the term ESG come from?

The first group to coin the phrase ESG was the United Nations Environment Program Initiative in the Freshfields Report in October 2005. It was incorporated into sustainable finance and responsible investment in the ECOSOC Chamber at the United Nations Headquarters (UNHQ).

ESG Priorities

Companies are already developing ESG strategies across three key pillars – People, Performance, Planet – and to set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-Bound) goals against each of these topics. The goals are closely aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

Even investment firms have moved toward this idea. Here is the new slogan from a random investment firm.  “We are values-driven—committed to the core tenets of accountability, compassion, courage, excellence, fairness, and independence. These values manifest in our culture and in our approach to advising our clients and managing their assets.”

In a nutshell, ESG will control how you make purchases, what you can eat, what you drive, who you associate with, how you live, in general. It will even control who you can associate with.

Here is an interesting video, that explains just how evil ESG really is: ESG Explained, in a Nutshell

Here are some interesting details explained in an easy to understand way: ESG Simplified

Here is an ESG report, that a company published: ESG Company Report  Companies that are part of ESG publish similar reports.

Here is an example of how companies are “encouraged” to write their ESG reports: ESG Report Instructions
