Bigfoot has been ‘spotted’ more than 100 times in North Carolina, Bigfoot Field Researchers say by: Brayden Stamps Posted: Aug 24, 2022 / 04:44 PM EDT HIGH POINT, N.C. (WGHP) — Have you seen a 7-foot-tall, bipedal, ape-like creature walking around the Tar Heel State? Well, it may not be as far-fetched as it may sound relative to other places in the country. Can you pronounce the names of these North Carolina places? According to BetOhio.com, North Carolina ranks 17th among the lower 48 states in reported bigfoot sightings. However, those numbers could be on the rise as alleged Bigfoot sightings have been reported in both North and South Carolina within the last month. North Carolina also has more Bigfoot sightings than most of its neighboring states with the exception of Georgia. According to The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, there have been 107 reported sightings of Bigfoot in North Carolina. The most recent of which occurred in Orange County on July 1. The BFRO posted the following account of that sighting involving a father and daughter on their site: "My 17-year-old daughter was home alone with our five dogs on June 24. At dusk, she saw something very large on two feet standing at the edge of our woods. Dogs never barked. When she looked at it, it spun around and walked off fast. I thought she was seeing things until today, July 1, I began to walk up our driveway and heard a stick snap in the woods and looked to my right and about 30 feet away I saw a very large being walking away from me down a path in our woods. I stepped back and got one more glance of it. I immediately texted my 17-year-old and said I need to know where you saw what you saw and what it was. She came home and showed me. She said it was behind the basketball net and almost as tall as the bottom of the net. She saw it for a few seconds from behind as it walked back quickly into the woods and out of her view. Right after that, she heard what she thinks was the sound of it running away deeper into the woods. She described it as dark in color and on two legs. I drew what I saw and she said yes that is what I saw too. Gonna be honest I did not believe they existed until today. I archery hunt our woods all the time and have never seen anything like this." The county with the most bigfoot sightings in North Carolina is Montogomery County which has far and away has the most reports of Bigfoot with 15, according to the BRFO, most of them happening in the Uwharrie National Forest area. The five most likely states to spot Bigfoot are as follows: - Washington - California - Florida - Ohio - Illinois Please, sasquatch hunt responsibly.

Greenhouse Gas Pollution by Wind Turbines Posted on September 1, 2022 by Baron Bodissey The environmental damage (e.g. by the mining of lithium) caused by the push for electric vehicles is well-documented. The following article reports on another noxious side effect of “green” energy: pollution caused by the sulfur hexafluoride used in wind turbines. Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Der Wochenblick. The translator’s comments are in square brackets: Chemical substance in wind turbines worse than carbon dioxide Wind turbines are worse climate killers than domestic flights One of the long-known but little-noticed consequences of the expansion of wind turbines, which has been pushed by hook or by crook, is the fact that wind turbines contain the chemical compound sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as an insulator. This contributes more to the greenhouse effect than all German domestic flights, and is not called a massive “climate killer” for nothing. This connection is ignored or even hushed up by green wind power fetishists. SF6 is not only 22,800 times more effective than the same amount of carbon dioxide, it also remains in the atmosphere for over 3,000 years before it decomposes again. 25 years ago the Kyoto Protocol stipulated that SF6 emissions must be limited. However, there is still no legal basis for this, only a voluntary commitment by the industry to only use the substance in closed systems and to recycle or chemically neutralize it at the end of its life. In addition, the quantities used and recycled are to be recorded and reported. Much of the contamination is airborne However, scientific studies and the Federal Environment Agency came to the conclusion that more than 50 percent of the reported SF6 is in the air in Europe. So the data reported by the industry must be grossly wrong. Research by the ARD magazine “Panorama” — which is guaranteed to be harmless in terms of its political orientation — revealed that every owner of a wind turbine that is to be dismantled must take care of the SF6 recycling himself. Since there are no corresponding controls, it makes sense to simply let the substance escape into the air. The wind turbine manufacturers Nordex and Vestas claimed that there are currently no alternatives to SF6, minimal amounts of SF6 are released into the air during operation of wind turbines and proper end-of-life disposal of wind turbines is assured. [Will SF6 be the next gummi-bear flavour?] Alleged lack of alternatives only a result of the price war The alleged indispensability and lack of alternatives to the material is probably mainly due to the price war among the wind turbine manufacturers, which does not allow any expensive changes. In fact, both Siemens Energy and various suppliers of high-voltage switches used in small substations have developed climate-neutral alternatives to SF6. The EU is now aiming to restrict and then ban SF6. A transition period until 2030 is currently planned. However, it is again questionable whether the possibly extremely rising costs for wind turbines as a result will drive the desired expansion, which, however, will not be sufficient in any case to replace Germany’s loss of nuclear and coal energy. This adds another to the countless absurdities of German climate policy. Because with its wind power course, it remains the worst air polluter in Europe for the time being. Afterword from the translator: The green ideology (or should that be idiocy?) is clear cut. We also can’t confuse them with the facts; their little pea-brains would explode and then we really would have a serious environmental disaster on our hands. The biggest problem I can see for humanity and the planet as a whole is that this specific breed of “people” are heavily infested with an STED (Systemically Transmitted Educational Disease) called ACADEMENTIA. Only the complete eradication of the host itself can save us.

Biden Declares War on Those Who Want to Make America Great Again SEP 2, 2022 11:00 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER 6 COMMENTS Killing the republic in the name of saving “our democracy.” It was the worst Nuremberg Rally ever. Old Joe Biden has taken the old adage, variously attributed to Lenin, Goebbels, Saul Alinsky, or other enemies of freedom, to heart: “Accuse your enemy of what you’re guilty of doing.” In a dark, threatening speech Thursday night, he declared that “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” For the first time in American history, a president has declared that his primary political opposition is outside the bounds of acceptable political discourse. To drive his messaging home, Biden delivered his divisive and un-American speech in front of an ominous black and red backdrop, with two Marines standing behind him. The message couldn’t be clearer: the Left is intent on criminalizing opposition to its policies. Dissent from Old Joe’s agenda, and you could end up with the thought police breaking down your door at 4AM. “As I stand here tonight,” Biden in front of his ersatz Nazi background, “equality and democracy are under assault. We do ourselves no favor to pretend otherwise.” That’s right. Equality and democracy are under assault. And Biden proceeded to assault them. He said he intended to “speak as plainly as I can to the nation about the threats we face,” but he wasn’t referring to China, or Russia, or North Korea, or the Islamic State and al-Qaeda, and certainly not to the woke America-haters who infest our public schools, colleges, and universities. No, Old Joe’s big threat to the nation is Americans who dare to vote against him and reject his policies. The man has come closer to calling for war upon American citizens than any president since Jefferson Davis. “Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal,” Biden complained. “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” He immediately drew a distinction between them and the good Republicans: “Now, I want to be very clear — very clear up front: Not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans. Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology. I know because I’ve been able to work with these mainstream Republicans. But there is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country.” Get the picture? The Republicans who play ball with the globalist, socialist Democrats and allow them to implement their agenda with just a few quibbles here and there, Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney and Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski and Adam Kinzinger and all the rest, they’re the good Republicans. A good Republican is one who acts and speaks and votes just like a Democrat, but who has an “R” behind his name. A bad Republican is one who offers an actual alternative to the America-Last, bug-eating, open borders, Third World socialism that Joe and his henchmen are forcing upon us. After making this frankly authoritarian statement, the corrupt, senescent liar in the White House had the unspeakable audacity to add: “But I’m an American President — not the President of red America or blue America, but of all America.” No, that’s exactly what he isn’t, not any longer if he ever was. He effectively resigned from that position on Thursday night. He is not the president of Americans who want to see a strong, independent, self-sufficient America and a president who puts America and its citizens first. He is at war with those Americans, and God knows what is coming next. “MAGA Republicans have made their choice,” Biden declared. “They embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies.” This is the “accuse your enemy of what you’re doing” strategy to a T. He went on to claim that the MAGA Republicans refuse to accept the results of free elections (not a word, of course, about the increasing evidence not only of election fraud but of FBI interference in the 2020 election), and, with more of his trademark breathtaking dishonesty and audacity, proclaimed that political violence was unacceptable under any circumstances. Not a word about Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris and all the others cheering on the Left’s political violence in the summer of 2020. This wasn’t really about democracy and the rule of law at all. It was about criminalizing the legitimate political opposition, something that no president has ever dared to do. The destroyer of the republic delivered this disgraceful speech on September 1, 2022, the 83rd anniversary of the Nazi German invasion of Poland. As Biden’s handlers are witless miseducated Leftists, they likely didn’t know the historical resonance of this date, but it was a fitting choice, for fascism is once again on the rise, as it was in the darkest days of the 1930s. Biden’s speech embodied it.
