20864572? ago

They're like PIGS at the TROUGH.

20859566? ago

Thanks OP. I Need to read all of this more carefully but two things immediately jump out.

  1. Been wondering for a long time how (((they))) are making money from the global warming hoax. Was sure it was something but carbon credits and shit like that didn’t seem to add up.

  2. The directed energy weapon thing. I am sciencefag. Am absolutely convinced the fires on west coast, particularly CA, were some kind of DE weapon but I couldn’t see how. Would have to be IR or microwave but major difficulties in keeping a beam focused. Not to mention the power requirements. But if you had a large array of mirrors and towers, you could focus and guide energy. Scary.

20864857? ago

Also, the beams could be focused up to mirrors [THINK MIRROR] in space, and transmitted/beamed down, to start fires or other havoc on the surface of the planet.

Telsa had a similar concept with his wireless transmission of power, reflected off the atmosphere (Ionosphere). I believe it IS possible.

What has SpaceX/Elon Musk, and Bezos Space business got to with launching Space Weapons Tech. and installing DEW systems? Lots. They are CONNECTED. Gotta be.

Hence why White Hats have been fucking with their launches, and are happy to take the rent money for the use of the launch facilities. Trump mentions it often.

Thanks.

NMBRFG.

20865816? ago

Also, the beams could be focused up to mirrors [THINK MIRROR] in space, and transmitted/beamed down, to start fires or other havoc on the surface of the planet.

Kinda what I was thinking. Or, the source could be on a satellite, beamed to the mirror(s) on the ground for re-focusing and then directed toward a target. Or they could bounce back and forth several times between the earth and the satellite while continuously feeding more energy to build up a very powerful beam. Not exactly, but kinda how a laser works. Set up a resonance condition. Whatever was used in the fires in Paradise was melting metal but not plastic. (Plastic playground equipment, trash cans intact). So it was something that set up a resonant condition with metal, which is why I was thinking microwave. The mirror material would have to be impervious to those wavelengths, whatever they are. Know that a mirror in the IR looks like clear glass in the visible, so if there is any info on the mirrors that would be a clue.

There have been a few posts (quickly buried) on qrv about that Russian sub incident, what six months ago now? Word is they shot down an Israeli satellite. The one that was being used to threaten Trump. (((They))) were, quite literally, holding it over his head. I think the fires were warning shots. Did you see how pissed off he was when he visited Paradise? Have you noticed no fires this year? I live in PNW. For the last 4 or 5 yrs we have had extremely hot and dry summers. There were horrible fires every August all over the west coast extending up to Canada. Smoke was terrible. None this year.

20866144? ago

Electro-Magnetic forces may play a big role in what these things do.

If it were me building the system, I would use not only light and heat, but also magnetic fields to solve the transmission and focus (coherence) problems.

I am just thinking about this out loud at the moment, but I can see how this might connect to a wireless power transmission network.

Maybe they already have all the wireless power Tesla invented in place, and it can also be used as a DEW, with the ground stations (Mirrors) acting as focus points and/or magnifyers (scaler tech.).

Could you imaging a future with these solar farms covering the entire Earth, and how destructive would be for Humanity and the Ecosystem?

We would ALL be dead AF pretty fast; maybe a few generations.

This is (((their))) ultimate plan you realize. The destruction of Humanity to spite GOD.

Population reduction down to c. 500 Million people. Just enough (and smart enough but not too smart) to run everything, and serve as slaves.

I can see it everywhere. Extinction Cults, Antifa, all of it. I can see clearly now, as the song goes. 'o-o' <

Much more coming here my Frien, I am just getting started on this research topic.

Peace.

If it were me building the system, I would use not only light and heat, but also magnetic fields to solve the transmission and focus (coherence) problems.

Cannot steer a beam with a magnetic field. Only mirrors, lenses, prisms and suchlike. All wavelength or frequency dependent. Short review of electromagnetic spectrum as follows:

Speed of light = frequency x wavelength. Shorter wavelength = higher frequency. In order of highest frequency (shortest wavelength): gamma rays, x-rays, UV, visible light (wavelength ~450-750 nm), IR (wavelength ~2-12 microns), microwave (frequency~300MHz-1GHz), radio, ELF. All are the same kind of animal: i.e. electromagnetic wave. But what will focus an x-ray will not focus a radio wave. Most mirrors and lenses have a fairly narrow “bandwidth” (the range of frequencies over which it responds).

20876214? ago

That's great thanks heaps.

20866449? ago

I just re-read the post (but not the additional comments) and went to some of the links. That mirror/tower thing in Israel looks like it could definitely be collecting energy from space (and I ain’t talkin solar). But it’s just a pic and a tweet with words in French. Each individual mirror can be moved to focus and correct the aberrations in a beam. Would like to know the material. One of the articles said 800 degrees F in the beam frying birds. See, the mirrors will only reflect over a fixed wavelength range. That is, visible mirrors won’t reflect IR (heat). Soooo....what are these mirrors? I’ll try later to go to the company website and see if there is any info.

20866655? ago

Thanks. I will be here. <

20876045? ago

Been doing some more digging. Went to website of Bright Source Energy. These are the pple who are building the giant mirrors with towers. They say the mirrors focus sunlight onto water tanks in the towers creating steam and the steam runs generators for power. Focused energy is up to 800 degrees F (427 degrees C). At that temperature, they would have to be pretty careful in their choices of building materials. (Table of melting point for metals: https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/melting-temperature-metals-d_860.html).

I wanted to know what the mirrors are made of but, as I thought, they don’t provide any real information (proprietary). They did show a video of building the mirrors and they definitely reflect in the visible as is clear from the videos on their various projects pages: http://www.brightsourceenergy.com/projects#.XZzy2IplChA

This puzzled me because if they are collecting HEAT from the sun, they would be using IR mirrors NOT visible light mirrors. IR mirrors are clear (like a piece of glass) in the visible frequency range. That is: a material that reflects IR will transmit visible. Mirrors generally have a fairly narrow bandwidth (frequency range). So, I wouldn’t expect a visible mirror to also reflect IR (heat). Wtf?

Then I stumbled on this: “M.I.T. Scientists Turn Simple Idea Into Perfect Mirror”

http://phys.lsu.edu/~jdowling/mit.html Basically the idea is this: in order to tune a mirror to the bandwidth (frequency range) you want, you layer two dielectric materials that give the desired reflectivity. But they will not reflect well at large angles of incidence (incoming radiation at a glancing angle). These pple at MIT apparently solved this problem by stacking multiple layers of dielectrics. I haven’t read their original papers but the next obvious step is: can we layer dielectrics to reflect over a wide bandwidth? Can it cover visible through IR? How about visible through microwave? I don’t know the answer. Would have to do more digging.

Suppose you could make such a mirror? These mirrors are HUGE. They have two in the Negev desert in Israel, one in China, one in the Mojave desert and one in Coalinga (280 miles South of Paradise CA). Suppose the towers are producing microwave radiation and beaming to the mirrors. G5 on steroids. In addition to collecting solar energy, they also collect microwave energy. The mirrors are a vast 2-D array of multiple mirrors that can be individually adjusted to focus the radiation. (Possible problem: IR won’t focus at same configuration as microwave—probably optimize somehow). This could be directed to a satellite that also has such a mirror, albeit smaller. The energy could then be directed back to Earth.

I said earlier that the plastics seemed to not be affected. I think now that is false. I think the beam is sweeping out a path, fairly rapidly, destroying everything in the path but nothing outside the path. It is “hot” enough to melt metal. The path (beam width) is about the width of a football field. I say this because I saw a picture of a clear line of blackened grass right beside green grass on an actual football field. I cannot now find that image. It was on 4chan/pol but I cannot find it there either. (Can’t figure out how to search the archives).

There is also something called a GWEN (Ground Wave Emergency Network) tower capable of emitting high power microwaves (along with low frequency—LF and extremely low frequency—ELF). https://worldtruth.tv/elf-gwen-towers-and-haarp-connection/ Possibly these could also be involved. There is one in Colorado and one in southern Washington.

Part 5 >

The timing of this meeting was also curious. It occurred just hours before Hunter Biden’s father, the vice president, met with Chinese President Hu in Washington as part of the Nuclear Security Summit.

In 2011, there was a second meeting between the Rosemont Seneca Partners and the same Chinese government fund managers:

There was a second known meeting with many of the same Chinese financial titans in Taiwan in May 2011. For a small firm like Rosemont Seneca with no track record, it was an impressive level of access to China’s largest financial players. And it was just two weeks after Joe Biden had opened up the US-China strategic dialogue with Chinese officials in Washington.

In December 2013, Hunter Biden flew with his father and Vice President Joe Biden aboard Air Force Two for the culmination of Rosemont’s joint venture investment fund with the Bank of China.

The new fund was named Bohai Harvest RST – or BHR. Bohai for China’s stake. RS for Rosemont Seneca. T for Thorton Group.

Of the known trips to China made by Hunter Biden, each one coincided with strategic foreign policy meetings between Vice President Joe Biden and the Chinese government.

Small wonder the Bank of China upped the final joint venture to $1.5 billion.

The Bank of China is an enormously powerful financial institution. But the Bank of China is very different from the Bank of America. The Bank of China is government-owned, which means that its role as a bank blurs into its role as a tool of the government. The Bank of China provides capital for “China’s economic statecraft,” as scholar James Reilly puts it. Bank loans and deals often occur within the context of a government goal.

The fund enjoyed an unusual and special status in China. BHR touted its “unique Sino-US shareholding structure” and “the global resources and network” that allowed it to secure investment “opportunities.” Funds were backed by the Chinese government.

In short, the Chinese government was literally funding a business that it co-owned along with the sons of two of America’s most powerful decision makers.

Schweizer notes some troubling transactions undertaken by the fund:

In 2015, BHR joined forces with the automotive subsidiary of the Chinese state-owned military aviation contractor Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) to buy American “dual-use” parts manufacturer Henniges.

AVIC is a major military contractor in China. It operates “under the direct control of the State Council” and produces a wide array of fighter and bomber aircraft, transports, and drones — primarily designed to compete with the United States.

The company also has a long history of stealing Western technology and applying it to military systems. The year before BHR joined with AVIC, the Wall Street Journal reported that the aviation company had stolen technologies related to the US F-35 stealth fighter and incorporated them in their own stealth fighter, the J-31. AVIC has also been accused of stealing US drone systems and using them to produce their own.

Due to dual-use (military) vibration technologies owned by Henniges, the deal required approval by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).

CFIUS is the same U.S. government entity that granted approval for the sale of Uranium One to Russia’s state atomic energy corporation, Rosatom, in October 2010.

You can find all the details behind Uranium One in, A Uranium One Primer – Clinton, Giustra & Kazakhstan’s Uranium Assets.

CFIUS approved the Bohai Harvest RST and AVIC acquisition of Henniges in 2015.

This transaction effectively gave the Chinese government a 76% ownership stake in Henniges (51% through AVIC and 25% through the Bank of China’s 50% stake in Bohai).

The timing of Schweizer’s new disclosures is interesting. By pure chance I recently wrote three pieces that included references to Hunter Biden:

Victoria Nuland, Alexandra Chalupa, Ukrainian Ties & the Steel Dossier – March 9, 2018.

Victor Pinchuk, the Clintons & Endless Connections – March 11, 2018.

New Details of Victoria Nuland’s Role in the Steele Dossier – March 14, 2018.

Victoria Nuland figures prominently in all three pieces, but Hunter and Joe Biden – along with the Atlantic Counsel – provided interesting roles as well.

From the March 11, 2018 article:

The Atlantic Counsel has been historically active in Ukraine through their Ukraine in Europe Initiative. More recently, on January 19, 2017, the Atlantic Counsel announced a partnership with Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Group.

Hunter Biden, former VP Joe Biden’s son, sits on Burisma’s board.

Biden was placed on Burisma’s board after Victoria Nuland and U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt held a phone conversation regarding installation of Arseniy Yatsenyuk in place of then-Ukrainian President Yanukovych. Need of support from VP Biden was noted (more here):

On or before February 4 2014 – Call between Pyatt and Nuland discussing removal of Yanukovych and installation of Yatsenyuk.

February 22, 2014 – Yanukovych was removed as President of Ukraine.

February 27 2014 – Yatsenyuk was installed as Prime Minister of Ukraine. Yatsenyuk would resign in April 2016 amidst corruption accusations.

April 18 2014 – Hunter Biden was appointed to the Board of Directors for Burisma – one of the largest natural gas companies in Ukraine.

April 22 2014 – VP Biden travels to Ukraine and offers support and $50 million in aid for Yatsenyuk’s shaky new government.

It appears that Hunter Biden had a habit of turning up in regions where his father, Vice President Joe Biden, was conducting foreign policy meetings.

Hunter Biden’s partner, Devon Archer, also sat on Burisma’s Board. Archer is also a “Premier Member” of the Atlantic Council – a designation obtained by anyone via donation.

The Atlantic Council has some notable participants:

Victor Pinchuk – a Ukrainian billionaire with long-standing ties to the Clinton Foundation is on the International Advisory Board of the Atlantic Counsel

Dimitry Alperovich – the CEO of Crowdstrike that “investigated” the hacking of the DNC’s servers is a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at Atlantic.

James Clapper – Obama’s Director of National Intelligence, serves on the Atlantic Council’s International Advisory Board.

Evelyn Farkas – who famously disclosed the plan to disseminate information gathered on President Trump, is a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at Atlantic.

The Atlantic Council, along with the Brookings Institute and the Center for Strategic and International Studies, were the subject of an unflattering portrayal in a New York Times article, Foreign Powers Buy Influence at Think Tanks:

More than a dozen prominent Washington research groups have received tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments in recent years while pushing United States government officials to adopt policies that often reflect the donors’ priorities.

The think tanks do not disclose the terms of the agreements they have reached with foreign governments. And they have not registered with the United States government as representatives of the donor countries.

As noted, the Atlantic Council has long been involved in the Ukraine.

Hunter Biden remains on the Board of Directors for Burisma. It appears that Archer is no longer a board member.

Both Hunter Biden and Devon Archer remain at Rosemont.

Rosemont is a private equity firm and is not required to report its dealing and holdings publicly. Obtaining specific details is difficult.

Based on the few details revealed thus far, I will be surprised if more overlaps between VP Biden’s foreign policy ventures and Hunter Biden’s investments don’t turn up soon.

Hunter Biden’s China Connections

March 16, 2018 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

My frustration is not that the reporting on Trump has been too tough, but that the reporting on the Obama administration has been way too soft or in some cases nonexistent. – Peter Schweizer

In December of 2013, Vice President Biden and his son Hunter Biden flew to China on Air Force Two.

Ten days after the trip, a subsidiary of the Bank of China signed a deal with Hunter Biden’s investment firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners, to form a $1 billion joint-venture investment fund called Bohai Harvest RST.

The deal was later increased to $1.5 billion.

Rosemont Seneca Partners is an investment LLC under the ownership umbrella of Rosemont Capital.

Unlike most financial firms, Rosemont is headquartered in Washington DC.

Rosemont Capital, formed in 2009, is controlled by Hunter Biden and Christopher Heinz, the stepson of former Secretary of State John Kerry.

Also involved is Devon Archer, a longtime Heinz and Kerry friend. Archer was a fundraiser for Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign.

A third partner in the China deal was the Thornton Group – headed by Whitey Bulger’s nephew, James Bulger.

The information was revealed in Peter Schweizer’s new book, Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends.

From an excerpt in the New York Post:

The American delegation was visiting Japan, China, and South Korea. But it was the visit to China that had the most potential to generate conflict and controversy. The Obama administration had instituted the “Asia Pivot” in its international strategy, shifting attention away from Europe and toward Asia, where China was flexing its muscles.

For Hunter Biden, the trip coincided with a major deal that Rosemont Seneca was striking with the state-owned Bank of China. From his perspective, the timing couldn’t have been better.

Vice President Biden, Hunter Biden arrived to a red carpet and a delegation of Chinese officials. The delegation was then whisked to a meeting with Vice President Li Yuanchao and talks with President Xi Jinping.

Hunter and Finnegan Biden joined the vice president for tea with US Ambassador Gary Locke at the Liu Xian Guan Teahouse in the Dongcheng District in Beijing. Where Hunter Biden spent the rest of his time on the trip remains largely a mystery.

What was not reported was the deal that Hunter was securing. Rosemont Seneca Partners had been negotiating an exclusive deal with Chinese officials, which they signed approximately 10 days after Hunter visited China with his father. The most powerful financial institution in China, the government’s Bank of China, was setting up a joint venture with Rosemont Seneca.

In 2009 Hunter Biden, Chris Heinz and Devon Archer formed Rosemont Capital – an alternative investment fund for the Heinz Family.

According to an email revealed as part of a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, Rosemont described themselves as “a $2.4 billion private equity firm co-owned by Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz,” with Devon Archer as “Managing Partner.”

Rosemont Capital contains several funds – Rosemont Seneca Partners, Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners, and Rosemont Realty – separate legal entities owned by Rosemont Capital.

Rosemont Seneca Partners formed the joint venture with China – along with the Thorton Group.

Thornton Group is run by James Bulger, the nephew of mob figure James “Whitey” Bulger.

From Schweizer’s book:

James Bulger’s father, Whitey’s younger brother, Billy Bulger, serves on the board of directors of the Thornton Group. He was the longtime leader of the Massachusetts state Senate and, with their long overlap by state and by party, a political ally of Massachusetts Senator John Kerry.

In 2010, Hunter Biden and Devon Archer traveled to China to “explore the possibility of commercial cooperation and opportunity.”

They apparently found opportunity aplenty.

Schweizer on the first series of Chinese meetings in 2010:

Thornton Group’s account of the meeting on their Chinese-language website was telling:

Chinese executives “extended their warm welcome” to the “Thornton Group, with its US partner Rosemont Seneca chairman Hunter Biden (second son of the now Vice President Joe Biden).”

According to the Thornton Group, the three Americans met with the largest and most powerful government fund leaders in China — even though Rosemont was both new and small.

Energy Department loan office under scrutiny

Risk division understaffed for months

By Jim McElhatton - The Washington Times - Wednesday, May 14, 2014

The Energy Department’s loan office — which came under fire for its handling of failed solar panel maker Solyndra — left a key oversight office understaffed for nearly a year, according to a recent government audit.

Launched in February 2012 following the Solyndra failure, the risk management division of the department’s loan office left 11 of its 16 positions unstaffed until late 2013, and operated without a director for much of last year, according to a Government Accountability Office report released this month.

The GAO’s findings of staffing shortfalls in the risk-management office happened despite the headline-making loan program failures that had embarrassed the Obama administration.

The loan office is tasked with evaluating risk for a program that had seen three of its loan recipients file for bankruptcy and others require restructuring deals. Even as some companies’ finances worsened, staffing troubles in the loan office resulted in a failure to prepare dozens of credit reports mostly in 2011, according to the GAO.

The congressional watchdog office also said “inconsistent adherence to policies and incomplete staffing” had limited the Energy Department’s ability to assure the public that it’s been effective in managing tens of billions of dollars in loans.

In a less critical report, the Energy Department’s inspector general said officials have made “substantial progress” in implementing recommendations from a White House ordered review issued in January 2012.

Still, despite the inspector general’s “generally favorable findings,” auditors found the loan office still hadn’t implemented eight of 12 recommendations from the 2012 review, such as improved public reporting, restructured internal oversight and establishing an external oversight board.

A department spokeswoman defended the loan office Wednesday.

“The department takes its responsibility to the American taxpayer very seriously. As noted in a previous GAO report, as well as in independent reports, the department’s due diligence is as rigorous — or more so — than that performed in the private sector,” spokeswoman Dawn Selak wrote in an email.

“In addition, this week’s IG report shows that the department’s Loan Programs Office has taken the Allison report seriously and addressed its recommendations.”

Another concern raised by auditors revealed a lack of a formal process to settle differences between the risk management division and other agency offices on loan deals.

After the 2012 collapse of Solyndra, the California solar panel maker that received a half-billion dollar federal loan and whose factory President Obama once toured, emails surfaced revealing red flags about the company’s finances long before it went broke.

Other documents revealed concerns about the company from inside the Office of Management and Budget as early as 2010.

While a grand jury was formed to investigate the company, no charges against Solyndra officials were ever filed.

END

So Obongo gutted The Department of Energy to make sure the loans got through.

This went to a grand Jury, but nothing happened APPARENTLY.

We'll see. <

Calif. art work emerges from Solyndra's bankruptcy

By TERENCE CHEA - Associated Press - Friday, September 14, 2012

BERKELEY, CALIF. (AP) - A small building tucked in the hills of Northern California shines with an unusual green glow from hundreds of glass tubes jutting out from one side toward nearby bushes.

Inside, the dark wooden shed contains an undulating wall filled with the translucent rods, each like a 3-foot-long drinking straw, sucking in a cool breeze and the rushing sounds from a nearby waterfall.

The work of experimental architecture is called the SOL Grotto _ and Republicans are making fun of it as a symbol of a $528 million federal boondoggle, calling it the most expensive art project ever built.

The newly opened installation owes its 1,368 distinctive glass rods, and its name, to Solyndra _ the failed solar company that received a hefty sum in federal loans before going bankrupt and becoming a favorite target for critics of President Barack Obama’s energy policy.

When the Fremont-based solar company went under, it left behind millions of 39-inch glass tubes custom-made for its signature solar panels.

Husband and wife design partners Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello got the rods from a storage company that ended up stuck with thousands of pallets of them and created the installation in the Botanical Garden at the University of California, Berkeley.

“We thought they glowed so beautifully, we had to use them in the grotto,” said San Fratello.

“These materials, instead of being disposed of, are being reused and recycled in a fantastic way,” she added.

Like Solyndra, the installation has become an object of ridicule for critics, especially with the presidential election only months away.

The Republican-controlled House Energy and Commerce Committee put out a news release titled, “UC Berkeley’s Solyndra Artwork Would Shatter Record for World’s Most Expensive Piece.”

Three years ago, the federal government made a $528 million loan guarantee to Solyndra as part of a stimulus program to promote renewable energy and create “green jobs.”
