Alert: Stop energy rate hikes in California

Monday, November 6, 2023, 6:17 am | Randy Thomasson

When public officials don’t love and are therefore not public servants, but instead are self-centered and corrupt, “public infrastructure” that used to work well begins breaking down.

And that’s exactly what has happened to California’s statewide electricity grid. It started with Democrat politicians prostituting themselves to the environmental-wacko groups that worship trees and weeds.

Consequently, after years of Democrat-controlled government refusing to thin out forests and wilderness areas (this purposeful neglect ramped up during Jerry Brown’s last term commencing in 2015), resulting in more than 100 million dead trees, thus inviting “monster fires” resulting from arcs and sparks from aging power lines, the utility covering the most square miles, Pacific Gas & Electric, with 5.5 million electricity customers, which Newsom & Co. blamed for past wildfires (while Newsom himself has decreased wildfire prevention) and forced PG&E to pay $55 million in a 2022 settlement, is now proposing to hike their electricity rates by 26%, which PG&E claims is needed to move power lines underground.

Yet there’s been no independent (from a conservative state) aggressive audit of PG&E to identify its waste. And Californians are hurting with Democrats in charge (who won’t permit deregulation and the resulting competition to provide a cheap, stable supply of energy).

So just say no to PG&E’s money grab, especially in light of Newsom & Co. refusing to aggressively manage trees and brush. The Newsom-appointed California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is scheduled to vote Nov. 16 on both the PG&E rate hike and a proposed statewide rate hike on renters, small farmers, and schools with solar panels (all those with multi-meter properties). Learn more about this solar steal, which is outright theft because California doesn’t even have enough transmission lines for “excess” solar energy.

ACT NOW: Oppose rate hikes! Contact Newsom’s “public utilities” commissioners and contact Newsom too.

1. Call and email the CPUC (California Public Utilities Commission). 866-849-8390 public.advisor@cpuc.ca.gov.

Say, “Oppose all rate hikes and solar steals — stop making us poorer!”

2. Call and email presidential wanna-be Gavin Newsom’s office M-F 9-5 at 916-445-2841 and anytime at https://www.gov.ca.gov/contact. Newsom appointed these CPUC commissioners and has huge influence. Urge Newsom: “Tell the CPUC to Oppose all rate hikes and solar steals. These are your appointees and this is on your watch.”

3. You can attend and speak at the next CPUC meeting Nov. 16 in Imperial County at 11am at the County Office of Education, Building E, 1398 Sperber Road in El Centro. Wouldn’t it be great to have peaceful protestors with signs outside as early as 9:30am?

If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.

Newsom’s U.S. Senate pick: Worse than Feinstein

Monday, October 2, 2023, 8:19 am | Randy Thomasson
Laphonza Butler, a top strategist on the Kamala Harris for President team, in 2019

Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom has announced his appointment to replace the late Dianne Feinstein. And even worse than Feinstein, Laphonza Butler brazenly embraces Newsom’s and Kamala Harris’ immoral agenda:

She’s a leading abortion activist: Butler is currently the head of Emily’s List, a wealthy, Democrat-run pro-abortion political group (Source), which opposes all baby killing restrictions, such as banning abortions when a pre-born baby’s heartbeat is confirmed. (Source)

She’s an “out” lesbian “married” to another woman: Butler and her “wife” are both “LGBTQIA+” activists. In 2020, Butler joined Airbnb as its director of public policy and campaigns , turning it hard against property owners with moral values (Source). Demonstrating she believes all the “LGBTQIA+” lies, Butler wrote last year, “And these are yet again, the same politicians who also don’t believe in science, who are attacking trans-youth and erasing the history of our country by banning books.” (Source)

She’s a former union boss who led revolts against small business owners and coerced millions in ‘dues’: “Butler served as president of Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 2015, the nation’s largest home care and nursing home workers union.” (Source) As the Freedom Foundation observed in 2018, “SEIU 2015 deducts a staggering 3 percent of the caregivers’ meager paychecks, which comes to more than $500 per year for many…When a caregiver tries to opt out of union membership, they are sent a 500-word form letter rejecting their request. The letter rambles on about the benefits of union membership and buries instructions on how to “properly” opt out during the annual 15-day escape period.” (Source)

She’s a racist: Butler was on the board of BlackPAC, which defines itself as “an independent, Black-led organization that uses the power of year-round political engagement and elections to change our economic, justice, and political systems…We’re holding our public officials accountable to a policy agenda that defends our rights, promotes dignity, and ends white supremacy.” (Source)

And she doesn’t even live California: “But according to a filing with the Federal Election Commission from September 2023, Butler doesn’t live in California, nor anywhere close to the state. Instead, it appears she lives in Silver Spring, Maryland, a Washington, DC suburb. Using the address listed in the FEC filing, it’s possible to find Butler’s voter registration in Maryland, which is as recent as September 2022 and classifies the Silver Spring address as her “residential” location.” (Source)

Ditch the smiles — Laphonza Butler will further “butcher” our children and our Constitution.

“And the attacks on our rights, the rights to make decisions about our body, the attacks on our voting rights — that is happening with governors and state legislators. And so EMILY’s List specifically is going to be focused on engaging and investing the resources to win at the state and local level so that these are cases that don’t wind their way to the courts.”

ACTION: Resist the harmful Gardasil bill (AB 659)

Saturday, September 16, 2023, 7:14 am | Randy Thomasson

Now that the coercive, deceptive AB 659, pushing painful, injurious Gardasil shots upon millions of California families, has passed the State Legislature, here’s what you can do:

UPDATE: AB 659 pushing Gardasil now even worse

Democrat Party and RINO (Republican In Name Only) California state legislators have passed AB 659, sending it to Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has until Oct. 14 to sign or veto.

This Big Pharma bill is now even worse with the Democrat author’s Sept. 8 amendments. Voting “yes” to give final passage to AB 659 on Sept. 12 and 13 (on Sept. 14, the Legislature adjourned for the year) were nearly every Democrat state legislator, plus “Republicans” Greg Wallis and Scott Wilk.

The amended AB 659

As amended Sept. 8, the bill INSTRUCTS (via letter or email) ALL California parents of 6th graders (except homeschoolers) that ALL “pupils…are advised…to adhere to current immunization guidelines” of the CDC and other named vaccine-loving organizations “regarding full human papillomavirus (HPV) immunization before admission or advancement to the eighth grade level of any private or public elementary or secondary school.”

AB 659’s trickery

Of course, AB 659’s mandate-like text (“the state’s public policy,” “advised,” “recommended,” “adhere to current HPV immunization guidelines,” “before admission or advancement to the eighth grade level of any private or public elementary or secondary school“) will trick many parents into BELIEVING Gardasil jabs are REQUIRED.

And the amended AB 659 gets much more specific about the parental “notification” letter. Sadly, it’s a lie-filled letter with zero science behind it. Yet, for those who follow the evidence, 17 years of Gardasil injuries and Merck’s own warnings about fainting, seizures, and other side effects will inform you that, overall, Gardasil is harmful.

3 big lies: AB 659’s letter to CA parents of 6th graders

Section 4 of the amended AB 659 describes the “notification” letter to be sent to parents:

(c) The notification sent pursuant to subdivision (b) shall also include a statement, as determined by the department, summarizing the recommended ages for the HPV vaccine and scientific rationale for vaccination at those ages, based on guidance issued by ACIP of the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Academy of Family Physicians. The notification shall further state the following:

“HPV vaccination can prevent over 90 percent of cancers caused by HPV. HPV vaccines are very safe, and scientific research shows that the benefits of HPV vaccination far outweigh the potential risks.”

LIE: “HPV vaccination can prevent over 90 percent of cancers caused by HPV”
FACT: There is NO HONEST evidence Gardasil shots prevent cancer of any kind. Source

LIE: “HPV vaccines are very safe”
FACT: When Gardasil has caused so many injuries and even deaths in teens and young adults since its FDA approval in 2006, it CANNOT be called “very safe.” Source

LIE: “…scientific research shows that the benefits of HPV vaccination far outweigh the potential risks”
FACT: Biochemist Dr. Lucija Tomljenovic, at the 4th International Symposium on Vaccines in Leipzig, Germany in 2016, publicly asked: “Is it ethical to put young women at risk of death or a disabling autoimmune disease at a pre-adolescent age for a vaccine that has not yet prevented a single case of cervical cancer, a disease that may develop 20-30 years after exposure to HPV, when the same can be prevented with regular Pap screening which carries no risks? We don’t know if it can offer any long-term clinical benefit for a disease that is safely preventable through other methods.” Source

ANOTHER FACT: Even Merck admits its latest Gardasil concoction isn’t reliable: “Vaccination with GARDASIL 9 may not result in protection in all vaccine recipients.” Source

Will Gov. Gavin Newsom sign or veto AB 659?

If Gavin Newsom signs AB 659, California fathers and mothers need to prioritize training themselves and their children to “just say no” to Gardasil, even when a physician “recommends” it or a school or school district pressures parents in a letter. Please “be a lion” and don’t sheepishly surrender your God-given rights of voluntary medical treatment and informed consent.

What’s more, pro-family lawsuits must be readied to sue any district that claims Gardasil shots are “required.” Because even state judges can read how AB 659 does not legally “mandate” Gardasil. Yet, due to its deception and coercion, AB 659 would deceive many parents into thinking their girls and boys must be injected or they “can’t go to school.”

TAKE ACTION NOW: Urge Newsom to veto AB 659

If Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom gets a flood of calls and emails exposing AB 659, he might — just might — veto it. Call his constituent services number, 916-445-2841 M-F 9-5 (they have staffers paid to take your message), and email anytime. 

Tell Newsom: Veto AB 659, which coercively and deceptively pushes Gardasil shots upon millions of California children and college students. You can’t tell children’s families they should do something “before admission or advancement” in school without millions of California parents believing it’s a mandate. Stop the deception and intimidation, and stop pushing these risky shots upon children and their families. Veto AB 659!

But experts told The Defender there’s no proof that HPV vaccines reduce the risk of cervical cancer. Studying HPV vaccine efficacy for eliminating cervical cancer is challenging due to the extended time — 23.5 years on average — between infection and the development of cancer, lack of adequate informed consent and the complex relationship between HPV infection and cervical cancer.

Vaccinated women, believing they are protected, may also engage in riskier behavior and therefore worsen the risk of cervical cancer. According to James Lyons-Weiler, Ph.D., president and CEO of the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge, studies claiming the vaccine reduces cervical cancer are misleading for a number of reasons. For example, some research has shown that because the HPV vaccine targets only specific HPV strains, it has led to an increase in more lethal types of HPV, replacing the less lethal types targeted by vaccination.

Lyons also pointed to other research, published in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, showing that Phase 2 and Phase 3 efficacy trials themselves have been rife with methodological problems that undermine efficacy claims. That research also points out that none of the trials were designed to detect the vaccine’s effectiveness against cervical cancer. And most trials tested HPV outcomes for people much older than children ages 9-13, when vaccination is typically offered.

Research shows that in all countries that performed smear screening, the pre-vaccination period from 1989 to 2007 was marked by a significant decrease in the incidence of cervical cancer. And that since vaccination began, that trend has reversed.

Also, despite Merck’s marketing of the HPV vaccine as “safe and effective,” many recipients have experienced serious side effects. Some of the signature impacts observed following HPV vaccination include permanently disabling autoimmune and neurological conditions such as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS, fibromyalgia and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.

There have been thousands of reports of adverse events worldwide, peer-reviewed scientific literature from the U.S., Australia, Denmark, Sweden, France and Japan, and statistics published by public health agencies in each of these countries that demonstrate associations between HPV vaccination and autoimmune conditions.
