JOHNNY VEDMORE: it’s natural for there to be an ever-present human desire for drama and controversy. Blackmail and extortion have always been activities which have caused a social stir among the spectating public who are often found baying for the blood of those in society who have been deemed as lacking ‘virtue’.

Video was published on March 3, 2021. 

The topic today is "What does Joe Biden get wrong about unions?"  

Joe Biden came out late last week with a short video supporting unions.  It appears it was related to a vote at an Amazon warehouse distribution center where they're in the process, over the next few days, of voting on whether they should have a union.  Biden came out, he didn't mention Amazon specifically but it appeared that he had that in mind, and he talked about how positive unions were.  And here was the shocker: he said that "Unions built the middle class."  That's nonsense. Here is what really happens unions as they are structured in the United States are backed up by the United States government if the United States government did not back them up with regulations and rules and and then naturally that means the police force is behind the union's enforcement of a labor contract, you wouldn't have the type of unions you have now it would be questionable whether you would have any unions but at this point if the workers at a company or location decide to unionize if 50% of the workers vote in favor of a union then the business is forced to negotiate and collect the bargaining with the Union even if there are some employees that would rather work without the Union now this is what Joe Biden claims cause the middle class to grow, this confrontation type of work between businesses, business negotiations, and labor unions.

WHAT REALLY BUILT THE COUNTRY?  

This is what really built the country.  The country was really built by entrepreneurs who put together land, which includes raw materials, labor, labor is important, unions are not important, but labor is important, and capital.  You put land, labor, and capital together, you can produce products, you can produce services, and that's what makes the country grow.

Now, in a free market where you wouldn't have union interference, the market would set the wages based on supply and demand.  But when a union gets in the picture and they're really backed up by the government telling the business that you have to negotiate, you have to collect a bargain with the Union, things are different because unions can cause trouble.  They can call a strike in some cases.  Depending upon exactly the reason for the strike it might prevent the business from hiring replacement workers.  But they'll set up picket lines.  They will cause people, other workers from other unions, not to cross the picket line.  So there's all kinds of trouble with the Union for a business.  So they will negotiate with the Union just to get them off their back, and this will mean higher wages.  But if it's a wage above a free market wage what's going to happen is the business May over time lay off people not higher as many people maybe close a division do all sorts of things that are not obvious and not clear so with the business is doing this that's shrinking productivity it's producing and causing fewer Goods to be produced fewer services to be provided that's what happens it's just not known very well it's not obvious to see but I'll give you a good example here in the United States in San Francisco, California or I'm coming to you from I'm friends with the general manager at a major Hotel here and he was telling me at one time that he had very very good relationships with his Union and he seemed to be proud of that then at another time before covid covid change the picture a little bit before covid he told me that they were closing down and no longer providing room service to guests in this major luxury hotel

California says they don’t have enough firefighters to fight the Los Angeles wildfires, here’s some facts about California firefighters California has spent more than $30 billion on fire services since 2017, yet still - 30% of all of California's firefighters are incarcerated - The prisoners are typically felons - Prisoners make $2 per day and $2 an hour when they’re on a fire line - They're not eligible for worker protections - They are not eligible for worker compensation if they are injured while fighting these fires Another fun fact “As California reforms its prison system and more low-level offenders are sent home sooner, the state may have to entertain the idea of including more violent offenders in the firefighting ranks.”

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?? 

FREE PRESS: Over the next few weeks, you're going to see people behind podiums Downtown being like "These are our city's heroes," and I just want you to know the moment they step away from that podium, they're okay with their heroes being treated like dogs

We’re in Late Stage Empire.

Hallmark of which is a refusing to invest tax revenue at home leading to crumbling infrastructure as we wallow in corruption & bankrupt the treasury by funding endless war & military expansion.

WOAH Pacific Palisades fires update The Free Press just completed an investigation into Los Angeles Fire Department. He went to over 20 fire departments, they’re all falling apart, and “If LAFD finds out you've made any of your own repairs, you're punished” “Fire stations are falling apart and there are some that are even dangerous. Over the past few days, I've probably been to 20 firehouses and what I've seen has been absolutely infuriating.” “Most of the firemen I've talked to this week do the repairs at the stations themselves — If LAFD finds out you've made any of your own repairs, you're punished” It’s so bad “The mold infestation at Los Angeles Fire Station 112 was so bad it sent its fire chief to the hospital. He was on life support for three weeks. His leg turned black and they had to amputate his thumb.”

Look at this footage, WHAT IS GOING ON?? 

ERIC HUNLEY: It was called "Operation Midnight Climax" - and it's one of the darkest chapters in CIA history.

The prostitutes were told to:
• Slip LSD into clients' drinks
• Engage them in specific conversations
• Report their behavior
• Test how easily they could be manipulated

from Eric Hunley,

The operation ran until 1966. 

But the most disturbing part? 

White had no regrets. Before his death, he wrote:

"It was fun, fun, fun. Where else could a red-blooded American boy lie, kill, cheat, steal, deceive, rape and pillage with official blessing?"
