U.S. Federal employees are the most pampered and privileged members of American society. Statistically, federal “workers” make an average of two- to four-times what comparable workers make in the private sector. Federal employees live lives of decadence and luxury, with 8 PAID weeks of vacation annually, discounts, perks, and extravagant pensions. Many of them DIDN’T EVEN NEED TO REPORT to work in their offices for two years or more during the 2020-2024 COVID-19 scare.
Federal employees often view the private sector with contempt.
Now another US government “worker” has gone on rampage, killing an innocent woman on a freeway and stabbing three others. The government employee also killed his own dog during the episode. The employee, 32-year-old Jared Llamado of McLean, Virginia, was a Foreign Service Officer with the U.S. State Department. His career included assignments in Copenhagen, Denmark, after graduating with honors from George Mason University.
The rampage took place on Interstate 495 on Sunday afternoon, in Fairfax County, Virginia, near the Little River Turnpike exit. A Virginia State trooper finally dispatched the raging State Department officer on the side of the highway.
Feb. 26, 2026. United Kingdom. All those “dancing nurses” videos from March 2020 are being re-examined. Investigative journalist Jacqui Deevoy has been investigating the videos for years. The journalist has repeatedly asked nurses and doctors if they participated in the videos or know anyone who did participate. It seems that no British nurses seem to be able to identify any of their coworkers who participated.
On Deevoy’s X thread, commentators report that a handful of the videos were uploaded to TikTok by legit nurse groups in the weeks AFTER the initial barrage of dancing nurse videos. Other commentators recall reading online ads seeking actors/dancers who looked like amateurs prior to 2020. Still others recall vans pulling up with ‘nurses,’ directors and stage lights–from out-of-town. Almost no one recognizes anyone in the videos. And many of the videos appear to have some professional videography (including tracking cameras and even drones filming from above).
This begs the question: How did all those dozens of dancing-nurses videos get produced? And when?
Feb. 14, 2026. Big Oil companies, such as ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, BP, Occidental Petroleum, and others, have spent over HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS in under a decade on bogus “environmental programs, carbon capture and storage (CCUS), low-carbon fuels, renewables, and related initiatives.” This is more than the annual budgets of most states.
These vast dollar amounts are being spent to appease the left; so that Big Oil can claim it “believes” in the catastrophic-climate-change-by-manmade-CO2 religion and is “doing something” to ‘lower carbon emissions.’
Needless to say, this dollar amount vastly eclipses–on a scale of perhaps tens of thousand-to-one–any amounts spent by fossil fuel companies (decades ago) to support “skeptical” climate science.
Note that numerous academics have built successful careers–and won the highest awards in academia–for promoting the notion that fossil fuel companies are secretly funding skeptical science; or even that skepticism of the government’s doomsday-climate claims is wholly funded by fossil fuel companies. The New York Attorney General’s office spent millions, and forced Exxon and Mobil to produce millions of documents in 2018 to try to build a case that ExxonMobil had hidden evidence of catastrophic-climate-change-by-CO2 from the world. The New York Supreme Court found the claim meritless.
Any shareholder of these corporations has grounds to file a shareholder derivative suit for squandering corporate funds. Fossil fuel companies are now the second-biggest funder (behind only governments) of the government climate doomsday theory. In fact fossil fuel companies are now the biggest funders of the COP meetings and other “environmentalist” propaganda festivals.
In fact, shareholders of these companies should sue the companies FOR FAILING TO fund skeptical research or push back on the CO2 doomsday propaganda agenda.
Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI), a consortium of 12 major oil companies (including Aramco, BP, Chevron, CNPC, Eni, Equinor, ExxonMobil, Occidental, Petrobras, Repsol, Shell, and TotalEnergies) has focused on “emissions reductions and low-carbon technologies.” Since 2017, they’ve collectively invested around $125 billion in areas like “renewables,” biofuels, hydrogen, and CCUS. In 2023 alone, this group spent a record $29.7 billion on such initiatives, with over half going to “renewables” and a growing portion to CCUS hubs. Specific projects include Eni’s Ravenna CCS hub in Italy (which began injecting CO₂ in 2023) and the Northern Lights facility in Norway (a joint venture by Equinor, Shell, and TotalEnergies for offshore CO₂ storage).
As of 2025, NONE of these “carbon capture” projects have actually captured more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than the amount of carbon dioxide the projects released into the atmosphere to build them. (The same appears to be true regarding “biofuels” which convert corn and other grains into fuel.)
ExxonMobil is pursuing up to $30 billion in lower-emissions “investments” from 2025 through 2030, with about 65% aimed at helping other companies reduce their emissions through technologies like CCUS.
ExxonMobil launched its Low Carbon Solutions business in 2021, initially committing $3 billion over five years, and has captured over 120 million tonnes of CO₂ to date. Key projects include a proposed $100 billion Houston-area CCUS facility to remove 50 million tons of CO₂ annually from industrial sources, as well as “investments” in biofuels, algae-based fuels, and direct air capture (DAC) technologies.
Shell allocated $10-15 billion for low-carbon solutions between 2023 and 2025, emphasizing hydrogen, renewables, and clean tech. This includes investments in offshore wind, electric vehicle charging, and CCUS projects like the Northern Lights initiative. The company has also reduced its operational emissions through methane detection and flaring reductions as part of broader OGCI commitments.
Chevron has “invested” heavily in CCUS startups and projects, including leading a $45 million funding round for Ion Clean Energy (a carbon capture solvent developer) and acquiring a 50% stake in the Bayou Bend CCS project near Houston. Additional “investments” include Carbon Clean Solutions and Svante (carbon capture tech firms), as well as ventures in lithium and graphite for EV batteries. Chevron’s total low-carbon spending is part of broader industry trends, with acquisitions and R&D in clean tech.
Occidental Petroleum (Oxy) is now presenting itself as a leader in CCUS and enhanced oil recovery using captured CO₂. It has “invested” in startups like Carbon Engineering (for DAC tech), Cemvita (biotech for low-carbon fuels), Carbon Upcycling, and LanzaTech (carbon reuse). The company is building the world’s first large-scale DAC facility and has committed to carbon finance labs for emissions offsets.
BP “invested” $1.6 billion in low-carbon energy in 2024 (including renewables, biofuels, hydrogen, and CCUS), though it has scaled back some targets to focus more on oil and gas.
Globally, the oil and gas industry “invested” about $30 billion in clean energy in 2023, which accounts for roughly 4% of its total capital expenditures (capex). For the major oil companies, low-carbon investments typically range from 3-12% of annual capex, translating to $10-30 billion per year across the top firms.
The pro-government screed actually laid off almost half its workforce.
Washington, D.C. Feb. 10, 2026.
Last week, we reported that one of America’s most pro-government extremist newspapers, the Washington Post, had fired or laid off one-third of its workforce. The “news”paper loses more than a hundred million dollars annually spewing a steady stream of big-government, deep-state lies and propaganda.
Now, there is information that the Post actually shed FORTY-EIGHT PERCENT of its staff, including more than half of the Post’s “climate change reporters.”
“[T]he extent of the damage is actually greater than first reported . . . . an accounting by the Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild, the union that represents Post journalists, finds that the paper’s management eliminated closer to half of the journalists it used to employ.”
“According to guild steward Sarah Kaplan, a Post climate reporter, the paper is dropping between 350 and 375 journalists. With the newsroom’s pre-layoff strength at 790 people, that means between 44 percent and 47.5 percent of the newsroom has been axed…”
The public craves news and the convenience of around-the-clock information. But CNN has lost TWO-THIRDS of its viewers since 2016. People just won’t tune into pro-government propaganda and Democratic Party talking points.
The Gateway Pundit has collected numerous comments about the network’s loss of trust and credibility.
Washington, D.C., Feb. 4, 2026. In what can only be described as a great day for integrity in journalism, the Washington Post has announced that one-third of its staff is being laid off. People just won’t pay for pro-government propaganda. It may be that secret government support for the “newspaper” has been cut or temporarily stayed.
The Post was once considered one of America’s finest newspapers. But years as a government mouthpiece has cost the Post millions of dollars annually. See here.
D.C. January 28, 2026. The Washington Post’s endless stream of pro-government extremist content has caused the institution to lose thousands of readers along with credibility. The Post has been “bleeding cash,” possibly hundreds of millions of dollars annually in recent years. Readers simply won’t pay to read government and Democratic Party talking points.
Now the Post is notifying staff that as many as 300 more jobs are on the chopping block. Owner Jeff Bezos is trying to save the “newspaper” by switching its focus to “free markets” and personal liberties. Bezos’ tweet post sent mainstream “journalists” into fits of rage.
The Australian government recently banned internet use without ID. China long ago did so. In the EU efforts are also underway to ban all anonymous internet use. (The government of Ireland is leading the push in the EU to require that all internet users on the continent be known and identified to governments.)
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called for “an end to anonymity on social media.” As most observant critics know, this push is a major agenda plank of the World Economic Forum. WEF is currently pressuring governments and ‘thought leaders’ around the globe to increase censorship. Recently the Dallas Morning News came out in support of mandatory ID laws for internet log-ins.
In many ways this movement is reminiscent of the requirement that all printing presses be licensed in England between 1662 and 1695. Three centuries of progress for freedom of speech may be coming to an end.
This mass movement of globalists to ban anonymity of speech is consistent with general crackdowns on dissent. Swiss Colonel Jacques Baud used to do intelligence analysis with NATO, but he has reached unacceptable conclusions about the war in Ukraine. Therefore, he has been sanctioned by the EU and cannot access banks, cannot buy food etc.
The UK government is now arresting some 12,000 people per month for speaking online.
The EU recently issued a $150 million fine against X because X won’t increase censorship of anti-government thoughts.
The Trump US government is playing the role of global free speech protector.
Of course the US government itself has a long history of pushing censorship. US censorship reached its zenith during the previous (Biden) presidency when the US government was caught secretly funding the European-global censorship efforts. America First Legal revealed in March 2024 that Joe Biden was paying pro-government foreign operatives to target American websites like The Gateway Pundit which criticized governments. The Biden regime was funding Imran Ahmed and his UK-based censorship group, the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH).
Imran Ahmed’s group also targeted American news organizations like The Gateway Pundit, Zero Hedge, Breitbart, and several others. On June 15, 2021, Biden’s National Security Council published its first-ever National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism.
But presently, the Trump State Department (in a move obviously designed to protect US-based media platforms such as X and Meta) is imposing sanctions on the EU regarding the EU’s moves toward global censorship.
THE TRUMP/RUBIO DECEMBER 23, 2025 BAN OF FIVE EUROPEAN CENSORS
Recently, on December 23, 2025, the Trump/Rubio US State Department announced actions to “combat the global censorship-industrial complex” by banning five specific individuals “who have led organized efforts to coerce American platforms to censor, demonetize, and suppress American viewpoints they oppose. “
The five banned censors are Imran Ahmed, chief executive of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate; Josephine Ballon and Anna-Lena von Hodenberg, leaders of HateAid, a German organization; Clare Melford, who runs the Global Disinformation Index; and former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton.
Imran Ahmed is, ironically already in the US and is subject to deportation. However Ahmed recently petitioned a federal judge in the US Southern District of New York to halt deportation proceedings against Ahmed.
PBS recently broadcasted an overly friendly (almost fawning) interview with Ahmed in which PBS described the Trump Administration’s ban of Ahmed as ITSELF an act of censorship. PBS described Ahmed as merely a “researcher”–suggesting Ahmed was without any power or authority. Ahmed said he is simply trying to hold mega-corporations such as X and Meta “accountable” and to keep the corporations from evading “responsibility.”
California has some of the nation’s highest taxes and harshest regulations. But now, as California voters prepare to vote on a ballot initiative to impose a “one time” wealth tax of “five percent on the assets of California residents worth more than a billion,” several of California’s richest residents are preparing to flee the Golden State.
Writing for the Washington Post, Elizabeth Dwoskin and Caroline O’Donovan report that some of the world’s richest men, including tech investor David Sacks, Peter Thiel, Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, are all in preparations to relocate to either Florida or Texas.
The wealth tax proposal, report Dwoskin and O’Donovan, is “intended to offset federal budget cuts to social services.” (Note that there have been no federal budget cuts whatsoever.)
Creating yet another secret police unit.
The provision’s co-author, University of Missouri law professor, David Gamage, says the intention of the law is to tax roughly 200 identified billionaires in the state. The “one time tax” will create yet another secret police unit which will scour through assets of wealthy Californians to identify seizable properties. Gilbert Hyatt, an inventor who patented chip technology moved to Nevada from Silicone Valley in the early 1990s. The state of California so savagely investigated Hyatt’s move that it sent tax inspectors to his house to dig through his trash and peer through his windows.
“Andy Fang, the co-founder of the food delivery company DoorDash, which is public, posted that the provision “could wipe me out,” and that it would be “irresponsible for me not to plan [on] leaving the state.”
Caracus. Jan. 4, 2026. Venezuela was once one of the richest countries in Latin America. Then its people voted for socialism, “free healthcare,” and redistribution. The Venezuelan government seized oil companies, mines, newspapers, and businesses of every kind.
Today 82 percent of Venezuelans live in poverty according to recognized standards, including 53 percent in extreme poverty. More than 94 percent of the population lacks sufficient income to purchase basic goods and services. The Gini inequality coefficient has reached 0.603, making Venezuela one of the most unequal societies in the world.
Eighty-two percent of Venezuelans suffer from food insecurity, and 17 percent of children under five were malnourished as of 2018. Food production fell by 60 percent between 2014 and 2018. While the country cannot produce enough food domestically, most people also lack the income to purchase imported food. As a result, 84 percent of basic food basket items are unavailable in supermarkets.
The healthcare system has collapsed, with both maternal and infant mortality increasing by more than 30 percent since 2015. The maternal mortality rate stands at 98.87 deaths per 100,000 live births.
Roughly half of the country’s doctors have fled Venezuela. An estimated 70 percent of medical and nursing staff have abandoned their positions.
Venezuela ranked 156th out of 180 countries in Reporters Without Borders’ 2024 World Press Freedom Index. The government blocked websites, social media platforms, and foreign news outlets, and shut down at least 115 media organizations across print, radio, and television. So-called anti-hate laws, carrying prison sentences of up to 20 years, have been used to silence journalists and activists. Additional anti-fascism, anti-terrorism, cybercrime, and NGO surveillance laws created a rapid and comprehensive legal machinery for repression.
State-directed disinformation campaigns use paid troll accounts and fake websites to smear journalists and activists. Venezuelans have been detained simply for filming events on the street or for comments made in WhatsApp groups, creating widespread fear of discussing political or social issues online.
As of September 2024, Venezuela held 1,793 political prisoners, the highest number recorded in the 21st century. Following the July 2024 election, approximately 1,400 people were detained for protesting or expressing dissent, bringing the post-election total to 1,659 detainees, including children. Most were charged with terrorism and remain imprisoned without sentencing.
