Dr. Gordon Edwards debunks the Thorium Hopium B.S. power and SMR - sodium nuke power

Why did Kevin Frazier, Law Prof, appear to promote environmental protection for Montana when he is Pro-Nuke/AI?

 https://statecourtreport.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/modernizing-state-constitutions-helps-judges-do-their-jobs

A fascinating article op-ed on Montana updating it's state constitution to protect the environment.

 Under this theory, per legal historian Kermit Hall, “The U.S. Supreme Court, interpreting the Bill of Rights, sets the minimum floor for rights, while state supreme courts, interpreting their state bill of rights, fix the ceiling.” That’s precisely what the Montana First Judicial District Court did — it looked to the state’s bill of rights, which mandates that “the state and each person shall maintain and improve a clean and healthful environment in Montana for present and future generations,” and interpreted that right to afford Montanans protection against the state legislature’s attempt to prevent environmental agencies from considering greenhouse gas emissions and climate impacts when making certain regulatory decisions.

Since my dad was the Chief Deputy Attorney General of Minnesota for a year - and buddies with a Federal appeals court justice - I find the above analysis fascinating. Wouldn't that require the revocation of charters of corporations causing undue harm to the environment? Yet Montana is largely considered a "national sacrifice zone" 

 Southeastern Montana has historically been referenced in energy and environmental policy discussions as a "national sacrifice area" or sacrifice zone due to intensive federal and private push for coal extraction, strip-mining, and power generation

 So when I look up Professor Ken Frazier I find he is a big part of the "Abundance Institute" promoting Nukes and AI!! Then he is a member of the Federalist Society - a pro-corporate fascist Agenda 2025 political movement. AI says:

 Critics argue that despite its non-lobbying status, the Federalist Society functions as an elite gatekeeper and pipeline for conservative judicial appointments, successfully helping shape a multi-decade conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court and numerous lower federal courts. [1, 2, 3]

  • Pro-Corporate and Deregulatory Outcomes: Opponents frequently point out that the jurisprudence promoted by its network has consistently favored corporate deregulation, weakened labor and environmental protections, and expanded executive and corporate power, leading critics to label its agenda pro-corporate. [1, 2]
  • Connection to Authoritarianism and Project 2025: While Project 2025 was principally authored and directed by the Heritage Foundation rather than the Federalist Society itself, both organizations share overlapping networks of conservative legal strategists. Critics argue that the legal theories championed by the society—such as an expansive view of the unitary executive theory—provide the intellectual and judicial groundwork for plans to reclassify civil servants and centralize unchecked power in the executive branch
  • I rest my case.

    Did my ancestors get kicked out of Ireland? "a conspiracy to exterminate the Irish race"

     pdf for a Ph.D. thesis

    Limerick and Galway all had a high level of dependency on external relief
    agencies,....disbandment of public works in Limerick...  general state of lawlessness existed in Limerick....The Limerick Reporter described emigration as ‘an evil without parallel, except that presented by the wild excesses of those exterminating tyrants who glory in eliminating the people from the soil."....the Select Committee on Colonisation from Ireland in 1847, which resulted in Limerick, along with Dublin, becoming one of the chief
    ports for landlord-assisted emigration in Ireland...the authorities should promote emigration to the colonies...Most economists agreed that Ireland suffered from chronic ‘overpopulation’,
    but they disagreed on the practicability of addressing the problem through emigration....state assistance for emigration during the Irish Famine....assisted hundreds of people to emigrate from west Limerick between 1838 and 1858....the amount of surplus labour was enormous, and inordinary  times labourers were only employed for approximately 140 days of the year. He stated that he believed that an official scheme of emigration was the only possible solution to the distress.

    So that is when my ancestors left Limerick!!  

     So my ancestors were encouraged to leave Limerick with elite funding! Wow....

    The Hoe Squad: For Profit Involuntary Servitude Slave Labor in U.S. Prisons: Arkansas $10 million a year prison ag profit

      hundreds of incarcerated men forced to work for free as part of the “Hoe Squad” at the Cummins Unit, the Arkansas Division of Correction’s (ADC) oldest and largest prison.

      “I’m on my hands and knees, and I’m planting onions in this field. I looked up and the only thing that I could see was white men on horses with shotguns, and as I looked around me, all I could see in my mind were Black men on their knees planting onions. We were literally slaves.”

    https://prismreports.org/2026/07/14/prison-farm-forced-labor-arkansas/

     There are currently more than 660 prisons in the U.S. with agricultural operations,... making prisons $10 million a year in crop production sold to Tyson, etc.

    The state first bought the Cummins property in 1902 to operate as Arkansas’ first working prison farm. From the time of its opening until the 1930s, the prison solely incarcerated Black Americans, who were required to pick cotton. 

    Before it was the Cummins Unit, the prison was the site of two plantations. In 1873, eight years after slavery ended, Arkansas codified a convict-lease system that allowed individuals and companies to pay the prison to “lease” incarcerated people to work in factories and mines and on farms and railroads. The workers were not compensated for their labor. 

     

    Did Ozark Trail Meadow boots put Vasque Talus boots out of business? They look exactly the same (one is $55, one is $150)

     I was just hauling brush with my neighbor and I noticed his boots looked precisely the same as the Ozark Trail boots (vid review) I just got at Goodwill for $12. Those Ozark Trail Meadow boots are sold by Walmart for $40. But the sole and design looks exactly the same as the Vasque boots by Redwing. Wow. They're both made in China. One has "label" soles (Vibram) and "label" leather - but are they really that different?

    modern Vasque technical footwear lines like the Talus are manufactured overseas in Asian production facilities, including China and Vietnam 

     Ozark Trail Men's Meadows 2.0 Waterproof Mid Hiking Boots

    Vasque by Red Wing Shoes 7366 Talus

    The Vasque Talus AT UltraDry utilizes premium components like waterproof Nubuck leather and high-traction Vibram Mega Nuasi outsoles. Ozark Trail models use basic split-grain or synthetic leather and generic rubber lug soles to keep retail costs minimal. [1]

     May wear down quickly with heavy use on rough surfaces.

    Donald Trump: An established credibly alleged child rapist the night before he attacks Iran: John Doe 174

     Donald Trump is identified as Doe 174 in unsealed court documents from a 2015 civil lawsuit involving Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell. An analysis of the federal court docket entries tied the pseudonym to Trump, whose name appears in the related unsealed deposition transcripts...

     In March 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice released three previously withheld FBI 302 interview memos detailing four 2019 interviews with an accuser (referred to in court contexts as Jane Doe 4) who alleged she was abused by Jeffrey Epstein and sexually assaulted by Donald Trump as a minor.

      The unidentified woman told FBI agents that she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein starting at age 13 in the 1980s, alleging that Donald Trump physically and sexually assaulted her during encounters when she was between 13 and 15 years old.

    Sarah Ransome settled against Epstein and Ransome reported that Donald Trump regularly abused at Epstein's NYC mansion. So the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. Ransome got threats against her and her family when she said there are videotapes. She fled to the UK and rescinded her retraction that she explained was solely due to the threats against her and her family. The corporate media has ignored this credible witness Sarah Ransome speaking out against Donald Trump as a regular abuser at Epstein's NYC mansion.
