They didn\u2019t ask for this war and they\u2019re really suffering so your heart goes out. You feel compassion for tragedy no matter where it is, whether it\u2019s a landslide in Sri Lanka or a war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>So, you feel compassionate. On the other hand, you may have, at some point over the last month, asked yourself: \u201cWhy is the invasion of a faraway eastern European country suddenly the single biggest thing that ever happened in our country, in America?\u201d It\u2019s kind of strange, especially given everything we\u2019ve got going on in the U.S. right now and what is it with Biden\u2019s response to this war? That\u2019s weird, too.<\/p>\n<p>Biden keeps telling us these energy sanctions are going to crush Putin, but they haven\u2019t. That\u2019s clearly not true. Putin\u2019s fine. The ruble has almost completely recovered since the day Russia invaded. So much for destroying the Russian economy and getting the Russian military to withdraw from Ukraine and yet, we, in the U.S. are paying higher and higher gas prices thanks to these sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>So, Biden is not hurting Vladimir Putin, Biden is hurting American citizens. Why? What exactly is this about? Well, the first thing you should know and never forget is that nothing changes a society faster than a war, even a war in another country. If you want to reorder a society, you\u2019re going to need a major crisis in order to do it. The democratic process is not going to work for you. The democratic process will never get you to total transformation because voters almost never want systemic change. They prefer incremental improvement and that\u2019s why they tend to elect the very same people to office year after year.<\/p>\n<p>They do that because radicalism \u2014 big change \u2014 scares them. They are not looking \u2014 and they are never looking \u2013for massive, abrupt changes to the way they live. So again, if you want a revolution, you\u2019re going to need some kind of emergency to justify it.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say, for example, that you wanted to change a country\u2019s 250-year-old system of voting in order to make that system much more vulnerable to mass election fraud, which you would commit. How would you go about doing something like that? You couldn\u2019t do it by referendum. No. You might need to declare a public health emergency and then institute vote-by-mail in the name of fighting a pandemic. You should try that because that might work.<\/p>\n<p>Or, for another example, how would you go about taking full control over an economy built on fossil fuels? Well, you\u2019d first have to break the existing economy because if you gave people a choice over how to power their vehicles, homes and businesses, not many of them would choose windmills. No, they\u2019d go with what they have, which is oil and gas. So, you\u2019d have to take that choice away from them. You couldn\u2019t let them choose and you couldn\u2019t do this by democratic means because no legislature would ever vote for a change like that because they know voters don\u2019t want it.<\/p>\n<p>So instead, you might use a war underway across the world to declare an energy shortage in your country and then make fossil fuels unaffordable for the average person and that way, people would have no choice but to switch over to the new system, which, not incidentally, you and your friends and your donors would control.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019d be one way, maybe the only way to get a Green New Deal, without having to get it through Congress because it never would go through Congress. Hmm. Do you think that\u2019s what\u2019s happening here? You\u2019d hate to think so. You wouldn\u2019t want to think that your government would intentionally exacerbate the suffering of millions of Ukrainian civilians in order to take over America\u2019s energy grid, but that seems to be exactly what is happening right now and we know this because the administration has essentially told us so.<\/p>\n<p>As of tonight, the vast majority of electricity that we use in this country for everything, about 80 percent of our electricity comes from just three sources \u2014 natural gas, coal and nuclear energy. The Biden administration has pledged to get rid of all three of these things. There will be no more coal plants, Joe Biden said during the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>John Kerry, our aging climate czar, agreed. No more coal plants operating in the United States by 2030, he said \u2014 no clue on how we\u2019re going to power the cities that are totally dependent on coal fired electricity. But here is Joe Biden explaining that electricity for your home, and your city, electric cars, all of it pretty darn soon is going to come from heat pumps and solar panels.<\/p>\n<p>(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>JOE BIDEN (D), PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Under my plan, which is before the Congress now, we can take advantage of the next generation of electric vehicles that a typical driver will save about $80.00 a month from not having to pay gas at the pump. If your home is powered by safer, cheaper, cleaner electricity like solar or heat pumps, you can save about $500 a month on average.<\/p>\n<p>(END VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>CARLSON: Wow. So, we just need to completely change the way that you power your home. We\u2019re going to get rid of coal, gas and nuclear energy and you can save on average some more $500.00 a month. You just have to power your house with solar panels. It\u2019s simple. So, where will these solar panels come from? Well, as it happens, they will come from China. We can be certain of that because the Chinese make more than 80 percent of all the world\u2019s solar panels, which is to say, all of them.<\/p>\n<p>So, we\u2019re going to be even more reliant, far more reliant on Chinese manufacturing than we already are. Offend the Chinese and no more electricity. So that\u2019s a risk, considering they despise us, but it\u2019s going to be worth it, Joe Biden says. We\u2019re going to upend the entire U.S. economy and make ourselves completely dependent on a country that seeks to displace us. But you\u2019re going to save 500 bucks a month on your energy bill \u2014 $500.00 a month, not a small thing, but it\u2019s not actually true.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after Biden spoke, in a ritual we\u2019re becoming very used to, the White House issued a clarification. It turns out that Biden meant to say \u2014 and if he wasn\u2019t senile, would have said \u2014 that you\u2019re going to save $500.00 a year. So, that\u2019s one-twelfth of what he promised if we turn over our electricity production to China. So, $500.00 a year, not a month. So, he was only off by about 5,500 bucks.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, $500.00 a year is still something. It\u2019s enough to fill your SUV maybe three times. Watch.<\/p>\n<p>(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>PHIL SHUMAN, KTTV REPORTER: It costs tech entrepreneur Mo Hassan $140.00 every two days to fill up his 2021 Cadillac Escalade when he cruises the streets of Southern California.<\/p>\n<p>Prices vary depending on where you buy. At many stations, it\u2019s still way above $7.00 a gallon. Still the highest in the country, though, we\u2019ve had a dip of a few cents in recent days, hardly a game changer.<\/p>\n<p>(END VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>CARLSON: Oh, it\u2019s just $7.50 a gallon, not a big deal. It\u2019s always been this way. Oh no, it hasn\u2019t. Pretty soon they\u2019ll tell you that, but we just want to say, for the record, that that\u2019s not true.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, which is not ancient history, the average price of a gallon of gasoline in the State of California, the most expensive for the country, was $3.60 per gallon. Now, it\u2019s double that. How did that happen? Does it have anything to do with the current President\u2019s pledge to quote, \u201cphase out fossil fuels forever?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gasoline is a fossil fuel. He wants to phase it out. It shouldn\u2019t surprise you that it\u2019s more expensive. Or could it be Vladimir Putin\u2019s fault? Did Putin do it? Here\u2019s what PragerU found out when they spoke to people who are actually buying gas. Watch.<\/p>\n<p>(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>WILL WITT: Why do you think that the gas prices have gotten so high?<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Well, I think it\u2019s to do with maybe all the sanctions on Russia, part of it.<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The United States stopped importing Russian oil or something to that effect. I don\u2019t know if I have the details are quite right, but that\u2019s what I think.<\/p>\n<p>WILL WITT: Part of that is definitely true. A lot of it is somewhat because America isn\u2019t energy independent. We don\u2019t produce a lot of our own energy anymore, but Russian oil is only about three percent of the oil that America gets. The price of gas was going up before Russian oil.<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>WILL WITT: If we had our own energy, our own oil production \u2026<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We would be a lot easier and a lot more self-reliant. A lot more reliable, too. Yes. That\u2019s a very interesting thought. I\u2019ve not thought about that before.<\/p>\n<p>(END VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>CARLSON: So that is a pretty interesting response. So people know it has something to do with Russia. They\u2019ve been told it\u2019s all Putin\u2019s fault. The kind, you know, there\u2019s a connection between the sanctions against Russian energy and our own rising gas prices. What they don\u2019t understand is it\u2019s much deeper than that. They\u2019re blaming Russia.<\/p>\n<p>So, there\u2019s a reason the people pushing this war love this war. It\u2019s an all-purpose excuse for the disasters they have made, the disasters that benefit them, but if you take a look at the numbers you see, there\u2019s a lot more going on here than just a war in Ukraine, no matter what they tell you.<\/p>\n<p>In February of 2021, a year after the corona pandemic began and a month after Donald Trump left office, the average price of gas the United States was about $2.50. Since then, the price of gas has continued to rise. By last November, months before the Russian invasion, the per gallon average was $3.39. So, no, the war in Ukraine did not do this. Putin did not do this. Putin didn\u2019t, by the way, sanction himself.<\/p>\n<p>Energy inflation is a direct and intended result of White House policies. The whole point of these policies is to make it impossible for you to use fossil fuels because you can\u2019t afford it and then substitute those fossil fuels, which you could afford with new green energy that you have no choice but to use.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re saying that essentially out loud. Here\u2019s the Speaker of the House, third in line to the presidency, Nancy Pelosi. Watch her explain that even though we probably could fix this problem by producing more of our own energy in the United States, which we own, which is the root of our prosperity, we\u2019re not going to do that because cheap oil would devalue her family\u2019s investments in renewable. Sorry, we didn\u2019t mean to say that. We mean cheap oil would destroy the planet. Watch.<\/p>\n<p>(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>REP. NANCY PELOSI (D-CA): We cannot allow the fossil fuel industry to use this as an excuse to reverse everything we\u2019re doing to save the planet.<\/p>\n<p>(END VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>CARLSON: Did you hear that? \u201cEverything we\u2019re doing to save the planet.\u201d Now these are the people who preside over the dirtiest state out of 50 \u2014 California \u2014 who don\u2019t go outside except in their own walled gardens, who know nothing about the environment, who couldn\u2019t care less about the environment, who are trashing the environment and who are raising your gas prices in the name of the environment, so their families grow rich.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t stop what we\u2019re doing.\u201d She\u2019s just saying it, right up there in English, \u201cWe\u2019re doing this,\u201d which they are. So, this is a lady with huge estates all over the country who brags that she has a $30,000.00 freezer telling you, you\u2019re just have to suck it up and be poor for the planet she doesn\u2019t care about at all.<\/p>\n<p>So, who\u2019s benefiting from this? China is benefiting from it. We already told you that. That\u2019s obvious, but the Biden administration\u2019s donors are benefiting from it, too, and one of them is now the Secretary of Energy, Jennifer Granholm.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to reporting from \u201cThe Washington Free Beacon,\u201d which we are grateful for, we know that Jennifer Granholm held millions of dollars in stock in so-called green energy companies while she was serving as the Secretary of Energy.<\/p>\n<p>So, you hold energy stocks while you\u2019re the Secretary of Energy? Hmm. Where is the Justice Department? Jennifer Granholm did not sell these equities, even after she took office. Is that a conflict of interest? Of course, it is. It\u2019s criminal.<\/p>\n<p>But Jennifer Granholm didn\u2019t seem bothered. She knew she would never be charged with anything. The Biden administration isn\u2019t bothered, either. This is the whole game. Make your donors rich by saving the planet. Jennifer Granholm is still running the Energy Department. Here she is explaining that her stock portfolio would really benefit if we quote, \u201cdecarbonized the fossil fuel industry.\u201d Watch.<\/p>\n<p>(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>JENNIFER GRANHOLM, U.S. SECRETARY OF ENERGY: We want to invest in renewables. We want to invest in the technologies that decarbonize the fossil fuel industry.<\/p>\n<p>To become energy independent with clean energy is the medium to long-term strategy.<\/p>\n<p>(END VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>CARLSON: So, it does kind of answer one enduring mystery: Why would they put someone in as Secretary of Energy who knows nothing about energy, never been in the energy business, has no idea what the energy grid is, has no clue how your iPhone is charged overnight \u2014 none at all \u2014 and yet she is the Secretary of Energy?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, because it\u2019s an investment scam and they\u2019re all in on it. Check investments right now in renewable energies since the manmade energy crisis that Joe Biden and his sanctions set off and you\u2019ll see it\u2019s quite a robust market right now. Who\u2019s benefiting from that? Right. People like Jennifer Granholm.<\/p>\n<p>She wants to force you to subsidize her investments. That\u2019s the medium to long-term strategy and no crisis in the last decade has given them better cover than the invasion of the client state of Ukraine that Jennifer Granholm can\u2019t even find on a map.<\/p>\n<p>There is a reason they\u2019re focused on Ukraine and it\u2019s to give you the Green New Deal, whether you want it or not.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday, FNC host Tucker Carlson said that despite the messaging campaign to blame Russian President Vladimir Putin\u2019s invasion of Ukraine for the spike in energy prices, the culprit is the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":498,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1416530","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1416530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/498"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1416530"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1416530\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1416530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1416530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1416530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
