The Great Failed Reset And Pandemic Puppet Show

On June 3, 2024, the U.S. Senate Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic heard the testimony of Dr. Anthony Fauci (“Fauci”), the retired head of the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases with respect to his management (or more properly, mismanagement) of the Covid-19 pandemic. Even though some of the Congressional questioning and criticism was incisive and targeted, Fauci, being a skilled bureaucratic swamp creature, darted and dodged through many questions and statements that were either weak or rather were glowing statements by many Democrats. In the final analysis, only time will tell if this hearing was a springboard leading to a more effective prosecution of the fraud and of the mismanagement of Covid-19.

Unfortunately, many critical observers were left wanting after the Fauci testimony with respect to the critical questions left unanswered after the hearing concluded. Due to a myriad of reasons unknown, Congressional representatives did not sufficiently press Fauci as to where the convoluted nonsensical policies and reasoning as to the “coronavirus response” in the United States originated. For example, how was “social distancing” developed? Why were the schools closed? Who developed “phased reopening's”? How about “positivity counts?” Why was there masking and limited capacity in venues? Who killed the restaurant business? Why were there continuing coercions to forced vaccination? What was the logic? What were the reasons? Why was there gross mismanagement and errors in judgment? As my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo said on his June 4, 2024 “Lee Elci Show” segment, the vast majority of political operatives and politicians do not have the mental capability nor vision in order to devise these masterplans, so something else must be afoot. However, it is unquestioned that Fauci held himself out as the living final authority on all things regarding Covid-19 as he arrogantly held the entire country under his authoritarian thumb.

If one watched and/or read the Fauci testimony, one may have become sickened that their tax monies supported these insane, unlawful, and draconian policies which led to many needless heartbreaking deaths and a massive economic loss that America has still yet to recover from. At least some of the legislative comments directed at Fauci from this hearing that are worthwhile: “A million Americans died from Covid-19, marking one of the darkest chapters in our nation’s history. Four years later, more than 10 million Americans are still suffering from long Covid. We continue to fight for accountability.” “(Fauci), in his role as chief medical adviser to the president, insisted upon mask and vaccine mandates, lockdowns, and overstated vaccine efficacy, often disregarding the public and private medical professional’s ability to assess the facts.” “Blocking FOIA requests: It’s also curious that after Dr. Fauci was questioned by our Senate HELP committee in May 2021, the Department of Health and Human Services shut down all Freedom of Information Act requests. Was (Fauci) involved in any discussions for this decision? Why was that decision made?” Many people also don’t know that (Fauci) received two government salaries simultaneously, making him the highest-paid federal employee ever. He was both the director of the NIAID and the director of civilian biodefense, which was operating with a $6 billion budget.(”https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/under-oath-fauci-must-answer-these-questions-5660314/)  This Senator was well justified in his comments that still are being ignored by the media and the incoherent and unserious Biden Administration. 

Did masks, plexiglass around dining room tables and bars, constant disinfecting of anything and everything, standing six feet away from people while checking out in grocery stores, lockdowns, walking in only one direction in store aisles and many other illogical and unproven medical theories forced us save lives? It is highly doubtful at best. For example, if you are reading this column now, you did not die of Covid-19. Amazing, isn't it?
Also, did Fauci have a brain trust in working his twisted magic?

Needless to say, Connecticut had its profit driven motives during the Covid-19 crisis. I have written about them numerous times since the pandemic resulted in deafening silence from all sides as a result. My good friend Tony De Angelo who initially started to unwind the corruption of these state Covid-19 policies several years ago, re-introduced many of the same unanswered questions in his segment this past week on the Lee Elci Show on 94.9 FM. Tony submitted to the listeners that the same dastardly Covid-19 masterplan was hatched in the minds of Ivy-League consultants and indoctrinated into the weaker political minds of elected officials largely serving as enablers to the festivities along with Fauci and his colleagues. Trendy buzzwords such as "The Great Reset", "The New Normal", "Mask Mandates" and more key word phrases such as “The Greater Good,” are now part of our permanent vocabulary through the efforts of the non-elected but politically tied McKinsey Corporation group. A group who mysteriously was drafting the Covid-19 protocols and manuals for the State of New Jersey in 2019 and released the same in 2020 while forgetting to change the header date. A group whose "Covid-19 Updates" were issued to many elected lemmings such as King Gov. Ned Lamont The Unaccountable and his legislative enablers that did incredible damage to our economy and country as a whole that were accepted as the gospel truth while making these same officials appear cool, calm, collected and in charge where all they were doing was acting by a script. A group that in the case of Connecticut was buried in a nonprofit organization so the public never even knew they were involved, up until the time of Tony’s radio segments. It is unquestionable that something on a much greater scale was involved in pulling the Covid-19 puppet strings, and McKinsey proudly served the governments, colleges, schools, and military in this failed fashioning of The Great Reset.

Of course, the Covid-19 pandemic was a fantastic opportunity for the Lamonts and several of their close cronies and investors to exploit the State of Connecticut for their own personal gain and profit. The Lamont owned Oak/HC Limited Partnership was a fund that made great strides and profits thanks to the no- bid contracts it was able to secure from Connecticut Taxpayers during the Covid-19 crisis marched its way to a bonanza IPO ina huge "pump and dump" litigated stock scheme, with such “economic activity” hidden in and blessed by nonprofit AdvanceCT. This organization was concurrently housing and paying the McKinsey Corporation for its services. Let us never forget that in the beginning of the crisis during June 2020, Lamont-owned equity Sema-4 entered into a no-bid State of Connecticut contract for Covid-19 testing at the opportune moment. And Oak HC/FT invested in Sema-4 which was a DBA (doing business as) of Mount Sinai Genomics. Never forget as well that the Lamont limited partnership through a complex maze of companies, (many of which received Connecticut Taxpayers monies through forgiven loans and state grants), made an enormous profit during this crisis. A profit that goes undisclosed with no reactions whatsoever from ostensibly dimwitted and unconcerned (if not corrupt) body of elected officials from either party. And somehow, the state-run media remains silent with regards to questioning these "deals".

As Tony said on June 2, 2024, this situation is highly worth revisiting since the lies of the Covid-19 are being proven for real four years later. Many did not realize that they were being governed by the McKinsey Consulting Corporation secretly by proxy, with their directives passed down through the Faucis, Cuomos, and Lamonts of the world. And after many businesses and individuals lost everything they had economically and socially to an elite power that was financed by you and me the American Taxpayer, they scored, and you, lost. With that all said and known, justice needs to be exacted upon them all, once, and for all.

 

The Economic Farcical Clown Show Commonly Known As Connecticut

This past week, the poor, beleaguered taxpaying citizens of Connecticut were treated to the public sham and spectacle of the state’s leading political brain trust cursing and condemning supermarket operators for “price gouging”. Since just about every single one of these people has never done anything whatsoever in the realm of private-sector gainful employment, or can tell the difference between a profit and loss statement and a kite, it does not dawn upon them (or just about anyone in the Connecticut Legislature) that bad and foolish energy policy is the root cause of the majority of economic problems. All products and services are affected by fuel. Fuel costs money. Fuel costs increase expenses. Expenses impact prices. And as my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo often says, it's as simple as that, and just as difficult. And unfortunately, these concepts are much too difficult to comprehend for just about every elected official in the state.
Welcome to the pie-in-the-sky fintech-wind powered-climate-change-terrified Economic woke-liberal universe, where simple economic facts understood by high school business students are difficult to comprehend for many of the liberals/Democrats and Socialists in our country. We can see this from the complete economic failures of the pathetic, inept, and corrupt Biden Administration featuring runaway inflation, a failed green energy plan, excessive taxation, and a crippling $34 trillion dollar National Debt. As apples do not follow far from trees, let us now focus on the vast economic wasteland with an omnipotent one party Democrat-ruled government known as Connecticut, with socialistic pressure on legitimate businesses, high taxation, a loss of jobs, a poor and uncoordinated infrastructure, an imperious administrative state, excessive state mandates on its cities and towns, and the excessive economic costs of rampant and unchecked crime that the state does not wish to control and frequently explains away in its state-run media broadcasts.
As just about no legacy–reward the loyal with government jobs media outlet in Connecticut can be trusted with any consistent objectivity, one is forced to look outside of the state to find honest and objective information as to what is actually happening. In this connection, these economic facts were presented in the "2024 Rich States, Poor States ALEC-Laffer State Economic Competitiveness Index © 2024 American Legislative Exchange Council report". (https://alec.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/2024-17th-RSPS-State-Pages_WEB.pdf). This report presents pure and objective economic facts for all 50 states. When reading the report, one can see the differences between "liberal Blue states" and "conservative Red states". As a spoiler alert, Connecticut did badly in this survey. According to the ALEC-Laffer State Economic Outlook Rankings, 2024, Connecticut is ranked 40th out of 50 states that is based upon equal-weighting of each state’s rank in 15 policy variables for this category. Connecticut ranked 48th out of 50 states for the ALEC-Laffer State Economic Performance Rankings, from 2012-2022 based on its State Gross Domestic Product that measures cumulative growth over this time frame, since it was only 33.59%, its non-farm payroll employment showed a .91% growth over the same time frame, and its absolute domestic move-out of state rate reflected a loss of 181,117 people over the same time frame (https://alec.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/2024-17th-RSPS-State-Pages_WEB.pdf page 12).
Also, there is one horrible elephant in the state-run media newsroom that this veritable Ministry of Information does not want for you to focus on...Illegal Immigration. Just how many illegal migrants are being transported into the state? Credible reports from real citizens tell us of squatters and break-ins happening in formerly safe neighborhoods. Every bordering Blue State to Connecticut unabashedly admits its mismanagement and incompetence in not being able to stem the tide of the Biden open-border policy. But we have none of those issues in the Land of King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable! He keeps Connecticut safe! Much like he mismanaged Covid-19 while busily figuring out how he could rip off Pandemic money. After all, it's simply the best state to be in!
Regardless of the state-run media spin that Connecticut residents pay for with their tax dollars, even an unobservant observer can tell what is happening in the state by just living here from day to day. Connecticut is graced with high state and local taxes, a high minimum wage, a high debt service as a share of tax revenue along with it also not being a right to work state. Connecticut is perpetually in a recession of its own making. Connecticut is always at the bottom of most business and economic categories. Connecticut still has over $100 to $150 billion dollars in short- and long-term debt along with unfunded liabilities. Economic facts are difficult to accept to the economically illiterate Democrat Party at any level of government. Tax more, spend more, promise more, demand more, rule as dictators never compromising on anything at all especially economic issues is their platform. It is a platform that has failed miserably but is endorsed at all costs to the point of economic ruin.
As the above-mentioned report is proof of the failures of Democrat led states such as Connecticut, one really does not need it. Just venture a little way into the state and draw your own conclusions.

 

 

Why on God’s Green Earth Is President Biden Running For Another Term? Why?

Are you kidding me?  President Joe Biden wants to run for another term for President?  Why?  His administration has failed our country daily since he has taken office.  The list is never ending with his failures as President.  Do you really think you are better off than you were in 2020? 

If we are accepting of the candidacy of Joe Biden, we must also accept the following achievements of his Presidency during his term:

We must accept an endless nightmare at our open borders with unchecked illegal immigration resulting in a massive uptick in human trafficking, illegal drug cartels running rampant, and a new drug crisis.

We must accept the horrific and humiliating withdrawal in Afghanistan with a massive loss of American lives, technology and military secrets/weapons being lost forever.

We must accept a new energy crisis with the contrived shutoff of plentiful American energy sources, resorting back to a foreign energy dependence with massive increases in energy prices, spot shortages and an economically incoherent new green energy manifesto that is being force fed upon the country.

We must accept and open our homes and personal property to unrelenting, unchecked, and unpunished crime, thefts, and murders, as allowing these horrors to persist will somehow reduce them.  This delusional approach will magically make crime go away with no more bonds needing to be posted, no prosecution for shoplifting that is costing retailers $95 billion dollars in 2022, and no more outstanding arrest warrants that are no longer being pursued by de-funded, demoralized, and hated police departments in our country.

We must accept runaway Democrat Party endorsed inflation that has stripped economic growth from our economy.  The loss of personal wealth, especially by retirees, has been great and painful and such is apparently embraced and condoned by the multi-millionaires who run the Democrat Party.  Prices for food are incredibly high, leaving the middle class hungry with dwindling if any personal savings.  Businesses still in some cases have not recovered from the heavily-hyped Covid crisis, and many citizens have lost their businesses and life savings due to economically incoherent Democrat economic policies.

We must accept the war on families, parents, and religion without question.  Why are the most sacred institutions in our country hated so much by these Democrat elitists and Marxists?  Aren't parents responsible for their children not an out-of-control liberal government?  I thought freedom of religion was one of the founding foundations of our country. Why are Catholics now "terrorists"?  

We must accept that Joe and Hunter Biden can profit off their selling of American influence, policies and American Taxpayers monies with no ramifications or guilt.  The constant unfolding influence peddling scandal in which the Biden's are involved is one of the greatest scandals in our nation's history and should be treated as such.  It reeks of treason and corruption, and a total disdain for the common American.  It should sicken Americans on both sides of the aisle for its deceit and deception of our country's principles.

We must accept the stereophonic incompetency of Biden-esque policies such as “Bidenomics”, unenforced crime, and sanctuary state status being parroted  in decaying and disintegrating Blue States, assisted by the mindless obedience of thoughtless political creatures such as Kathy Hochul in New York, Gavin Newsom in California, and our own King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable in Connecticut who “kept us all safe from Covid” while making Connecticut cities into war zones and promoting exploding electric buses for the sake of the god of climate change.

The time has come for a massive shift in the beliefs, creed, doctrine, ideology, and principles of American politics and American government if this country can survive at all.  Americans need to stop standing by idly hoping for this horror to end.  Americans must demand accountability with an end to this unscrupulousness and ineptitude called politics and government.  The Biden Administration needs to be stopped now and removed from power.  We see once again we have "Taxation without Representation".  This is truly the new 1776 moment in our country.  Enough is enough.

Ned's Covid-19 Un-Ethical "Conn-Job"

Connecticut Democrat Governor Ned Lamont is handled cleverly.  So cleverly that transparency does not exist nor can the common Connecticut Taxpayer ever get his or her questions answered especially with regard to the Lamont induced Covid-19 economic debacle taxpayers have lived with through for well over three years.  The Connecticut taxpayers who have survived this economic and socialist nightmare just can not get answers to any questions. 

Let us start at the beginning of this economic debacle and follow the orchestration of this deliberate plan of ethical deception.

To begin, we see an "Advisory Ethics Opinion" issued on May 16, 2019 that basically placed hazy restrictions upon Lamont as Governor and his family's hedge fund.  For example, quoting from Page 4 of this document (https://www.wtnh.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/100/2021/12/Lamont-Ethics-Opinion2.pdf) : "To better identify the need for any necessary recusal, the Governor would periodically arrange to provide his office with a list of individual investments held by himself, Mrs. Lamont or any associated business that have not already been made-subject to the exclusive control of an independent intermediary. The Governor's office would use that list as a checklist on a case-by-case basis to assist in identifying instances where recusal by the Governor or Mrs. Lamont would be necessary." When was this checklist created and where can it be found?  Was this a monthly case by case analysis?  Or was it completely ignored? Finally, after four years whatever happened to this "independent intermediary" that is supposed to ride hard on team Lamont  in order to stop them from any greedy desire it may have to trade with the State?

On Page 8 of this same document: I read that "the Governor and Mrs. Lamont wish to retain direct ownership and control of a handful of investments as to which they have special knowledge and background. All such investments would be listed on the schedule delivered to a designated official in the Governor’s office, which schedule would be periodically updated as necessary, in order that the Governor and his staff may better “police” whether any official action that either the Governor or Mrs. Lamont may contemplate could reasonably be expected to result in a direct financial benefit or harm to themselves or to an associated business to a degree that is different from or greater than the universe of individuals or businesses that would be affected generally by such official action and, therefore, require recusal by the Governor and Mrs. Lamont."  A poor and humble citizen might ask the following questions: What is the Lamont definition of "reasonable belief" in this case? How does the Governor get to first "contemplate" the issues to "police" himself upon? What does the word "police"even mean? Can this "policing" result in a consequent "arrest"?  Where are the reports issued with regards to the Sema-4 investment and the subsequent contracts with state? Identical questions also remain for Digital Currency Group and UNITE CT.

The report concluded on Page 16: "We conclude that the steps taken by Governor Lamont and Mrs. Lamont concerning their financial assets and associated businesses, as set forth in this opinion, are adequate to better ensure compliance with the Code, particularly its conflict-of-interests provisions and disclosure requirements."  Feeling somewhat better after reading that, we are never allowed to assume that this maze of legal gibberish cleared the way for a profit train for the Lamont family "legally" and with "no conflict of interest".  

If any of the sham language above holds true, why did the Oak HC/FT hedge fund set up investments in Sema-4 and $800 million dollars in investments in the Cayman Islands LP on August 1, 2019?  Why did the state authorize on June 1, 2020 a no bid Covid-19 contract with Sema-4?  Wouldn't this be a direct violation of this ethics ruling of May 16, 2019?  Where was the overview of the contract?  Where was the oversight by the well paid but functionally incompetent state agencies who were supposed to "police" the Governor's financial investments?  Wasn't the Governor's family hedge fund heavily invested in Sema-4 at this time?

The actual investigation has been done for three years now by Tony De Angelo on his weekly segment on the Lee Elci Show on 94.9FM radio.  He has been precise in his analysis and facts he has presented weekly.  Conversely we have never seen any analysis or investigation on this matter completed by the state.  Tony was the first to point out that this "Advisory Ethics Opinion" is nothing but a deceptive sham agreement cleverly designed to mislead the reader that an actual act of compliance and ethics is in fact taking place, where in fact there is none.

When a person runs for elected office, is a multi-millionaire, and basically buys his way into office it is a severe conflict of interest for the Taxpayers he is supposed to represent.  Ned Lamont is the poster man for this.  Please remember former Republican Governor John Rowland was forced to resign for basically having house repairs done on his weekend home by a contractor at no charge, a minimal amount of money involved.  That was and is illegal and unethical.  However when we fast forward to 2019, Democrat Ned Lamont is a shining example of creating a corrupted administration that services few in the state other than his hedge fund, friends of his family's hedge fund and the Democrat/Socialist based splinter fringe groups that have all had a hand in destroying the state and its communities with their radical demands and laws.  Democrat corruption in the opinion of many has been happening in the state since 2019.  The red-herring Advisory Board Opinion gave a green light to a no holds barred takeover of profits over people by the Lamont's.  A theme that seems to be the cornerstone of a Democrat Governor earning $54 million dollars a year that can not be revealed.  And four years later we are left only with dead silence by an obedient and self serving state run media on these issues. 

There is a great deal more to the story.  It really should be investigated and made public. A real working media would pepper Lamont with queries on this daily. Don't you think?  It is 1776 all over again.

Ned Lamont's "No Salary" For His Second Term. But He Made $54 Million Dollars in 2021?

Democrat Governor Ned Lamont is once again not taking a salary for being the ruling by decree Governor of Connecticut for his second term.  Connecticut Taxpayers paying one of the highest amounts of state and local taxes in the country can all rest easy tonight knowing their Governor has once again declined his salary for 2023-2026.  Lamont was scheduled to earn $226,711 next year but once again has declined it.  Lamont made $54,000,000 in income for 2021 according to his feeble and disguised representation of his income taxes.  One has to wonder how Lamont made so much money since Connecticut Taxpayers were not allowed to view his tax return, but were told most of his income was made through investments. 

Connecticut Taxpayers do not know how much Lamont paid in federal and state income taxes on this $54 million dollars in income for 2021 if any taxes were paid at all, since he has SEC documented ties to offshore tax havens.  A question that has to be asked by Connecticut Taxpayers since neither the Connecticut State run media nor the Legislature will ask, is through what investments is Ned Lamont earning this money, and where are these investments located?

Was this investment income made through the basically now worthless stock of Sema-4?  Was the investment income made through the multi-million dollar state loans given to Sema-4 that were forgiven by the state?  Was the investment income made through the loans and/or sweetheart deals made by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development to Lamont family hedge fund companies?  Was the investment income made through cryptocurrency companies such as Digital Currency group and its affiliates that were subsidized by the state?  Was the investment income made through the all new "non profit" ADVANCECT?  Was it made through the selling of citizen data via Boston Consulting Group, Mt. Sinai Genomics and/or McKinsey? Was the investment income made through the Lamont-based shell companies that were formed in the Cayman Islands and other tax havens? 

As usual it is business as usual for Democrat Governor Ned Lamont's various investments and companies that are just too plain hard and economically complex to be questioned or digested in any manner  by Connecticut's State run media.  Yet, we have seen a constant condemnation of all of Republican President Trump's companies and investments even though he has been audited yearly since 2009 with no issues found from these audits resulting in additional tax assessments.  So much for transparency in the Democrat Ned Lamont profit making Administration.  Will Democrat Governor Ned Lamont ever be audited?  Will Democrat Governor Ned Lamont come clean on his investments?   It is also comical to note that Connecticut still has $125 to $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities.  It is also comical to note that there is no plan whatsoever to pay down this debt.  I guess that $226,711 in salary saved by Lamont will go a long way in paying down $125 to $150 billion dollars in debt and unfunded liabilities.

 

Democrat Governor Ned Lamont may now enjoy four more years of unchecked and non-audited investment profits and income beginning on Sunday, January 1, 2023.  Democrat Governor Ned Lamont can use Connecticut Taxpayers for four more years as his personal piggy bank for complex, secretive financial companies, and byzantine schemes throughout the world for his personal financial gain with no oversight whatsoever.  Connecticut taxpayers of all political persuasions should take note of that, as they struggle to survive and live in the corrupted, inept, incompetent economic wasteland known as the "Constitution State" Connecticut. Some do realize that is truly is 1776 all over again.

How Much Taxpayer's Money Was Wasted During The Covid-19 Crisis?

 I really wonder how much of Connecticut Taxpayers' money was wasted during the Covid-19 crisis?  According to the covidmoneytracker.org website a mere $11 trillion dollars has been spent in various programs, loans, grants, direct aid and other programs to apparently save the country from this man-made virus.  I will point out immediately that America's National Debt is now well over $31 trillion dollars with no plan whatsoever forthcoming  to address it and or pay it down on the future.  Our National Debt at this time is at its highest level ever in nation's history and plays a role in the recessionary/inflationary economic nightmare of an energy crisis, runaway inflation, an open border crisis, an illegal drug crisis and unchecked crime that we live in from day to day.  Depending on how it is both reported and analyzed, Connecticut's short and long term debt along with its unfunded liabilities is between $100 and $150 billion dollars, and that is only the part that is not hidden from view. 

It is difficult to understand what America received for that $11 trillion dollars of Taxpayer's monies spent.  It is more difficult to understand how much Connecticut got and where it was spent in the state.  These facts and figures are difficult to find and understand from an economics viewpoint.  We do know that if states continue to declare "states of emergency" due to the Covid-19 crisis, they continue to receive financial support for certain programs as of today even though there is no more pandemic.  Connecticut initially received over $1.3 billion dollars in federal Taxpayer monies in 2020 for various relief programs.  Connecticut received funding from the CARES Act, and a host of other catchy named programs to offset the incredible economic damage that was forced upon the state during the pandemic by Connecticut's Ned Lamont's Democrat led state government/Kingdom.  Lamont's continual emergency powers granted to him by a non operational state legislature allowed for a steady stream of funding to go into the state while the state's economic productivity, viability and work force sat idle.  But where did all that money go?

Connecticut lost many businesses during the pandemic.  They shut down never to open again as many businesses that were deemed "non essential" by Ned Lamont (and/or his highly paid consulting group lackeys) were closed.  What was "essential" was the continuous operations of Ned Lamont's family hedge fund and several of their holdings especially Sema4.  One company that should have been investigated and still to this day needs to be investigated is Sema4.  This company received a 2% "sweetheart" state loan and funding. Recapping again what happened, $45,150,000 is what Sema4 has been able to obtain with little to no oversight in Covid-19 and Genomics testing from the State of Connecticut.  Further, there are loans and unknown billings and payments that in many cases continue not to be reconciled nor disclosed as of today. To date, Connecticut State-run media has never reported there was a Third Amendment to a state support agreement signed on April 14, 2021, between the State, the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development and Mount Sinai Genomics/Sema4 amending the original support agreement made between these parties back in 2018.  In the 2018 original agreement, Mount Sinai Genomics guaranteed payment of $9.5 million of the $15,000,000 state-funded loan to Sema4.  However, this Third Amendment releases Mount Sinai Genomics from the loan and its guarantee, leaving faltering Sema4 to pay its own debts, and if that does not work, the loan then becomes a casualty to taxpayers.   Sema4 shut down operations in the state and is on the verge of bankruptcy with its nearly worthless stock.  We still do not know how much in profits did Lamont and family gain off this deal and their dealings with the state.  We know that Connecticut taxpayers will foot the bill for this deal in the future.  My good friend Tony De Angelo on his weekly segment on the Lee Elci radio show on 94.9 WJJF New London, CT has been talking about these payments for over two years now and I have written about them on several occasions. Mr. De Angelo this past week stated there needs to be a complete audit of where this money went and where did all the pandemic funding go to.  I agree.  However, we do know one Democrat slightly fallen from grace is former State Representative Michael DiMassa who pleaded guilty to stealing $1.2 million dollars of Covid-19 relief funds from the Democrat-led city of West Haven.  How many more cases are still out there waiting to be uncovered in terms of theft of Covid-19 relief funds?  I guess Taxpayers do not really need to know.

I personally hate to see government at any level rip off Taxpayers.  However it seems to be happening on a daily basis.  To see the absolute destruction of state economies such as Connecticut due to their draconian and incoherent decrees in the name of saving lives due to Covid-19 is sickening.  We can look back since March, 2020 and see a ridiculous and frightening abuse of governmental power that profited some well connected elitists in our economy while bankrupting many hard working Americans.  Those who were most vulnerable to Covid-19 were discarded and made to die a lonely death in isolation from their loved ones, treated as some sort of social leper.  And we really need to know how much Taxpayer's monies were wasted in this man-made, abuse of governmental power, profit-mad crisis called the pandemic?  Our questions still do not get answered by "our" government as we continue our journey daily back to 1776. 

The Democrat Party Cryptocurrency Crisis

 To me it is fascinating to me see how much money was spent in this past 2022 Midterm election by political parties, special interest groups and a host of committees.  In my opinion all of this money can be viewed as both productive and non productive.  It is economically productive in the view of the printing companies who print signs, campaign literature and the like.  It is especially productive for media outlets and political consultants who sell advertising and "advise" candidates on what they should or should not do, regardless of the disastrous results in many cases.   It is non productive in my opinion because it seems that the candidates with the greatest amounts of cash and or personal wealth are now the perpetually elected officials that Taxpayers are stuck with each election.  A great example of this was the battle of the millionaires for Connecticut's Governor; Democrat millionaire Ned Lamont and Republican millionaire Bob Stefanowski with the incumbent millionaire winning.  Each candidate poured millions of their own cash into their campaigns to buy the office.  It is also non productive because it seems that people who are the remaining working middle class of America have little if any representation in any level of government due to the amount of cash that is being used to buy political offices since many offices are held by individuals with incredible wealth.  These same office holders have little if any concept of what it is like for the working middle class to raise a family, not have their children brainwashed in public schools, work hard for a living with few if any raises, and struggle to survive because of the incoherent economic and social policies these same paid-for millionaire elected officials dictate to them.

Even more troubling has been the recent disclosures of former cryptocurrency giant FTX and its founder Samuel Bankman-Fried who gave a mere $70.1 million dollars to mainly Democrat Party causes in the 2022 Midterm races.  FTX was the third largest campaign contributor in this election.  (opensecrets.org) FTX recently filed for bankruptcy losing an estimated $30 billion dollars plus of investors cryptocurrency.  For those who do not understand cryptocurrency (which are many) one must use a fiat currency such as the United States Dollar or Euro to buy this concept or digital currency that only has value by the non- governmental authority issuing it.  You may wonder as I do, why you would take a legitimate currency you use every day and give it to a centralized authority (that many have no idea who or what it is) to get this digital currency that has no assurances that it will be operational from day to day and has limited use in buying items and or services in our everyday economy.  My question is them how did Bankman-Fried lose all this digital currency?  Did some computer somewhere blow up and eliminate it?  How did he gain all of his wealth to spend on this past election cycle? It seems all this is happening out of thin air.  And since I am an economist who still does not buy into the concept of cryptocurrency, why are some governmental and state pension funds invested in it?  What happens to this money?  Do the same working middle class Taxpayers now get to bail out Bankman-Fried and his Democrat friends? 

Connecticut Democrat Governor Ned Lamont seems to be invested heavily in cryptocurrency.  The State of Connecticut was very generous with Connecticut taxpayers monies by giving $5 million dollars to Digital Currency Group to fictionally "move" 300 jobs to Stamford, CT.  The Digital Currency Group now has many issues to deal with due to the implosion of FTX.  In my opinion, they will be bankrupt very soon.  The Lamont family Hedge Fund (Oak HC/FT) was an early investor in Digital Currency Group but Lamont maintains they divested of the investment before this sweetheart deal took place, even after trade-source verified multi-million dollar investments were uncovered by said fund immediately after the election!  And why is Connecticut's state run pension invested in cryptocurrency in the first place?  Is this not an enormous risk now with the meltdowns of the cryptocurrency markets?  How many other elected Democrat officials are invested in FTX?  How many government run pension funds are invested in the cryptocurrency markets?  Once again Tony De Angelo in his weekly segment on the Lee Elci show on WJJF 94.9 was the first to disclose these most recent stunning Lamont connections to cryptocurrency.  

Regardless, since the crypto-fueled Democrat Party is now broke, it could have fundraising bake sales at the empty retail storefronts they helped to put out of business during their Covid-19 crisis?  Or maybe it could sell Dutch Tulip Bulbs at incredible prices like they did in the 1600's?  Or better yet maybe it could create something out of nothing, which is nothing and trade the nothing on a daily basis?  Or even better it can double down on pensioners and taxpayers stakes in cryptocurrency while it is collapsing?  One can argue they was a great deal of money wasted in this last election that could have been spent solving many of the issues the political system has created for our economy.  For example, how about helping people who are being bankrupted by excessive Affordable Care Act medical bills?  Or maybe helping the thousands of family run businesses bankrupted by incoherent and draconian decrees of the never ending Covid-19 crisis?  

Maybe the election of 2024 should be one of no more money spent for campaigns for any elected office.  Each candidate would need to publish at their own expense their stances on all issues that impact their district and or state.  That might help the serial fraud that seems to take place each election. The greater fraud in my opinion is what our political system has evolved into.  Buying of political power each election cycle.  It has reached a point of no return.  Sort of like the point of no return for cryptocurrency.  Oh well, no big thing.  Just make taxpayers pay for the financially elites ineptitude, incompetency, excesses and power.  Like in Connecticut, and so many other Democrat enclaves in our country.  The seeds of economic discontent are sown and are growing quickly for the taxpayers who must shoulder the economic burden of this political corruption.  And yet again the truths of 1776 resonate louder than ever in our country at this time. 

Good Bye To The Lost State Of Connecticut

 A majority of voters spoke this past Tuesday, November 8, 2022.  They told Connecticut that they are embracing and endorsing four more years of a future of an energy crisis especially for heating oil and diesel, food shortages, an illegal drug crisis, a public education crisis, runaway inflation,  mandatory vaccines for children, vaccine passports, personal data collection, massive uncontrollable crime and theft, higher taxes and tolls, and two different set of laws with one not applicable to the Democrat Party (especially Ned Lamont's family hedge fund) and another set that must be followed by the common working men and women of the state.  By the majority of voters' actions this past Tuesday it will be safe to say that Connecticut will be in the same state of emergency, economic despair and social crisis two and four years from now with a Governor and his never ending Covid-19 emergency powers, along with some of the highest tax rates in the country, poorest business rankings in the country and highest per person capita debt in the country.  It looks rather bleak for the state.

Connecticut's problems did not go away this past Tuesday.  Even though a majority of voters have embraced these same problems on Election Day, buyers remorse will set in.  Ned Lamont, whose Republican Candidate for Governor Bob Stefanowski omissively said was not corrupt, nor a "bad guy" (10/27/22 WFSB TV 3 "CT22: A conversation with the Republican candidate for Governor") is in my opinion corrupt and a "bad guy" by his many actions and lack of transparency in his Administration for the past four years.  From his dealings with Sema-4 and his suspicious non profit shell games, no answers to any questions came forth during the campaign which was a major failure to the citizens of Connecticut.  I am confident that these backroom dealings will be going into overdrive in the next few months with zero questioning by Connecticut's obedient state run media. Connecticut Taxpayers will be financing the Lamont's excesses with their tax monies.  You get what you vote for.

Coming out of this election is also the absolute helplessness of the Connecticut Republican Party in my opinion.  With the exception of a few principled Conservatives the party seems hopelessly split into different camps.  One side hates all things of former President Trump with a strong RINO influence almost like the old Rockefeller Republicans and the other side has working men and women who have strong libertarian and conservative principles. Looking at the two failed campaigns of Tom Foley and now two more losses by Bob Stefanowski maybe the next Republican Party candidate for Governor rather than being a multi-millionaire could be a homegrown candidate who is much more in tune with the party, the state and its people.  Maybe it could be a priority for the Republicans that in a state that has over 3.3 million people in it to field candidates in every elected office, every two years.  No more unopposed races.  Maybe they need to look at the efficiencies of the Florida Republican Party and their roadmap to success rather than the u-turns, cowardice, roadblocks and potholes they seem to embrace each campaign and election.  In my opinion there are many hard working members of the Connecticut Republican Party who never get heard year in and year out.  Maybe the party bosses could give them their say and promote their ideas for a change in the coming months.  If what you have been doing has not worked for 30 plus years now why not try something new?  If not, we can certainly look forward to more failures.

So what is next?  I know for me I am contemplating ending my chapter in all things Connecticut politics.   The Connecticut political system and its' state government to me is a deceptive, incoherent, labyrinth of false promises, lies, a "members only" club, and shameless ego gratification that does little to help the Taxpayers who must fund it and must never question it.  I have always been conservative and make no excuses for it.  I believe in personal freedoms and free markets. High taxes, rampant crime, horrific cities, omnipotent one party rule, poor government and suppression of personal freedoms led me to leave.  There are contrary to what the Connecticut Democrat Party wants you to believe, better, and less taxed states to live in throughout our great country.

Thus starting on Saturday November 26 "Swick Speak" will be revamped and will look at more than just Connecticut.  I will continue to write about governmental/political corruption since I despise it and also about how our political system influences our economy to the point that it hurts our economy and capitalism.  The blog will be on a more national level however I will still visit Connecticut's corruption which in my opinion will never end.  

The battle for freedom, transparency in government at all levels,  and the end of corruption in government seems never to end.  I personally will never give up the fight for what is right and just for all Americans.  Connecticut's elected officials, media and state government are examples of what is wrong with our political system and Taxpayer funded governments in 2022.  Never yield for it is truly 1776 all over again.

Where Are The Answers to Sema4 And Ned Lamont? Connecticut Taxpayers Would Like To Know

 Connecticut state government is a complex instrument that spends enormous amounts of Connecticut Taxpayers monies especially for a state as small as Connecticut.  An average citizen has a difficult time trying to see and understand how and where their monies get spent by our government.  To me, it is meant to be complex and confusing on purpose so that average citizens can not question government officials especially when transactions look suspicious and deceptive.  An example is the continuing saga of Sema4, Mount Sinai Genomics and their ties to Ned Lamont's family hedge fund, no bid state contracts for Covid-19 testing, no-bid Genomics testing and a $15 million dollar 2% interest only sweetheart loan made to them by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development.  My good friend Tony De Angelo on his weekly segment on the Lee Elci radio show on 94.9 WJJF New London, CT has been talking about these payments for over two years now and I have written about them on several occasions. 

With respect to the above, known to just a few is a Third Amendment to a state support agreement signed on April 14, 2021, between the State, the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development and Mount Sinai Genomics/Sema 4 amending the original support agreement made between these parties back in 2018.  In the 2018 original agreement, Mount Sinai Genomics guaranteed payment of $9.5 million of the $15,000,000 state funded loan to Sema4.  However, this Third Amendment releases Mount Sinai Genomics from the loan and its payment, leaving faltering Sema4 to pay its own debts, and if that does not work, the loan then becomes a casualty to taxpayers.  In case you have not been following in the news Sema4 is shutting down all operations in Connecticut, laying 250 employees off and moving now to Maryland in a huge "pump and dump" disappearing act well-known to Connecticut Taxpayers  What becomes even more hard to understand for common citizens is the relationship of Mount Sinai Genomics/Sema4 to Ned Lamont's family hedge fund, their investments in the company and profits they have earned.  And an even more troubling question is what is being done from the forced Genomics testing that they did on Connecticut citizens: why do they own this data, for what purpose and at what profit to the company?  But for Tony De Angelo wrestling these documents from the Connecticut Department of Health, no citizen would ever know this despicable practice had even occurred.

Is this a conflict of interest for Ned Lamont's family hedge fund, Mount Sinai Genomics/Sema4, the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development that a Governor in office can allow this type of agreement to be in effect and apparently loans can be forgiven while profits are made all during a "crisis" that still seems to be in effect in the state two years later?  Is this a conflict of interest for Ned Lamont's family hedge fund, Mount Sinai Genomics/Sema4, the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development that a Governor in office can allow Sema4 to shut down and move out of the state, and in essence default legally on its loan?  Is this a conflict of interest for Ned Lamont's family hedge fund, Mount Sinai Genomics/Sema4, the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development that a Governor in office can allow all of these agreements to be shrouded in secrecy and only be extricated by legal pressure?  

For two years the Ned Lamont and Connecticut Democrat Party Covid-19 crisis and debacle continues.  Apparently many questions go unanswered daily on this issue and many others that cost Connecticut Taxpayers millions upon millions of dollars.  Connecticut still has $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt and unfunded liabilities.  It is an economically bereft state with high taxes, poor infrastructure, economically incoherent state union labor agreements, high crime, theft and murders, rampant illegal drug trafficking and drug abuse, and a lack of ethics spewing out of its Governor's office.  This issue needs to be resolved and Connecticut Taxpayers need an answer now.  All state no bid Covid-19 contracts between Ned Lamont's family hedge fund companies and the state need to be reviewed and made public.  What is happening is an excellent example of how our state government has failed its citizens.  It can not be made to look like it is ethical because it is not and never was.  Connecticut taxpayers have been lied to since Ned Lamont took office.  Where are the answers?  Many want to know. 

And it is 1776 all over again.

Unmask Our Kids For The School Year Once And For All

Back to school in person?  That is an interesting concept.  But not with a few catches.  The mask seems to be back in certain cases and situations.  And the never ending Covid-19 testing seems to back.  My initial question is why can't our bodies natural immunity system become once again our best weapon against this flu virus?  And why is there such a rush to vaccinate our children who have the ability to fight off germs, disease and illness better than any other age groups?  And how much mental health damage has been done to our children over the past two years with not being able to have classes in person and when in person being forced to wear a mask in some cases over eight hours a day?  How healthy is that?

"test, mask, go" is the new catchy with it phrase that the Connecticut Department of Public Health  is using to apparently force schools to once again meet in person rather remotely.  Children who have a fever or test positive for Covid-19 are being asked to stay home.  However if a child exhibits mild respiratory symptoms you will need to test the child and if they test negative get a mask on them and send them to school.  What a difference two years make especially when it is an election year.  The Connecticut Public Health Department also wants all children to be vaccinated along with their Covid-19 booster shots.  Thus we see a great reversal of the draconian mandates of a two years ago.  Has a sufficient amount of damage been done to our children from the last two years, therefore these new suggestions?  Or how about parents have the common sense to keep a sick child home?  Why are children being forced to test and what about parents who refuse to test their children?  How does one define "mild respiratory symptoms"?  What happens when you have a normal cold?  You need a test for that now?  This health policy like any other Connecticut Department of Public Health policy makes little sense to me and I am sure many others.  And parents should be upset about it.

The last two school years of the never ending Covid-19 crisis has done a great deal of damage to our most precious resource; our children.  Our children have been forced to wear masks.  Our children have been forced to not be able to communicate with their classmates nor see their faces.  Our children have been forced to listen to gender identity propaganda. Our children have been forced to listen to sex change propaganda.  Our children have been forced to listen to critical race theory propaganda.  Our children have been forced to listen to politically correct history.  Our children have been forced to be subjected to concepts that defy rational thought.  For what reason?  And who is profiting from these decisions?  We still do not know how much in profits the Lamont's Family Hedge Fund made from Covid-19 testing for the past two years. Or how much they will make now with children having to be tested.

 Remember the damage that has been done to a generation of our children by the illogical, incoherent and daily changing mandates of the Lamont regime.  How many children are now drug addicts and or have committed suicide during these past two years of madness?  The concerns of a ruling political class was made a priority over the health and well being of our children.  Why did our children have to suffer?  Unmask Our Kids.  Today and every day.  There are not needed and do not work.  Remember this on Election Day.   And it is 1776 all over again. 

The Crime Spree Of Democrat Connecticut

 Crime, illegal drugs and murder should also be a campaign issue in the upcoming election in Connecticut.  Connecticut in the opinion of many is no longer safe.  A recent brazen robbery in broad daylight in front of a Greenwich downtown restaurant that was captured on video shows how bad crime has become in the state.  Car thefts including the theft of license plates are a daily ritual with gangs of thieves many juvenile delinquent, career criminals that have no respect for life, private property or the laws that we others must abide by.  Why has Connecticut descended into this cesspool of crime as a vocation for these criminals? 

The Connecticut Democrat Party embraces liberalism in all forms.  Crime, illegal drugs and murder seem to be a bump in the road of liberalism, thus the liberal theory becomes that these criminals should be treated with the utmost respect, and not be punished for their crimes and the victims of these crimes need to suck it up and accept they have greater privileges than the criminals and should be happy they are the victims of these crimes.  Sounds irrational?  It is irrational to see our legal system cater to criminals while victims of their crimes must suffer both emotional and financial loss.  Does anyone wonder why car insurance is very expensive in Connecticut?  Could it be the amount of car thefts/catalytic converter thefts that have taken place over the past few years?  The solution by the Connecticut Democrat Party is to let the car thieves roam free.  How does that address the problem?  Governor Lamont finally has signed legislation to somehow address car theft with his weak "Stolen Vehicle Bill Public Act 22-115"  Why does it take years of car thefts for the Governor in an election race for his political life to finally act?  What took him so long?  Fear of losing his rule by Executive Order Governorship?  The damage has been done, and this law is too little too late.

Murder in the state is no longer punishable by the death penalty.  How does help prevent murder in the state when the murderer knows he or she will be given a life sentence in jail and be taken care of until they die?  Why don't the victim's families have any rights in the murder of their loved one?  Why does murder continue to be an issue in the Democrat led cities of Bridgeport, Hartford and New Haven?  Things have not changed much over the years and the same social and economic problems plague these cities.  Connecticut Taxpayers have spent millions upon millions of dollars in these cities with little to no result to rectify this problem. 

Illegal drug use, deaths from drug overdoses are still a major issue in the state that has only gotten worse with the Connecticut Democrat Party and their draconian shutdowns during the never ending Covid-19 crisis.  Depression and suicides are rampant with our younger generations.  Now we have a  free flowing supply of harmful illegal drugs flowing into our country because of an open border that allows drug cartels to flourish once again.  Why is this happening?  

Legal law abiding Connecticut citizens should not have to live in the constant fear of having their cars stolen, being robbed at gun point in broad daylight, being mugged, and/or see the sheer volume of illegal drugs being sold on their neighborhood streets.  The Connecticut Democrat Party own these horrific issues and their misguided programs and liberal laws have nurtured an unsafe Connecticut.  Criminals need to pay for their illegal and inhumane actions not the victims of their actions.  Common sense and the respect for the rules and laws of society need to be enforced by a functional judicial system.  People are fed up with these ruthless violations of both their personal freedoms and safety that happen on a daily basis.  And it is 1776 all over again.

Connecticut's Race To Hit Economic Bottom. The Democrats Seem To Be Winning This One.

 Economic failures seem to be prevalent in Connecticut.  State government actions during the never ending Covid-19 crisis since March 2020 put many business permanently out of business and eliminated many jobs in the state.  The net result is a state that is firmly entrenched as a bottom five state in business development, high costs to operate a business, the high cost of living, a horrifically poor road and bridge system with non existent traffic enforcement, high insurance costs, excessive crime, excessive laws and regulations and incredibly high taxes.  It is in the top five for highest taxes in the country.  It has a net migration of its population moving out of the state.  Connecticut seems to be in a race to reach an economic bottom in our country.  To me and many others the Connecticut Democrat Party seems to be winning this race hands down. 

Coupled with these business and economic problems Connecticut government is very inept and overwhelmed when dealing with a basic service, problem and or crisis as we have seen during the never ending Covid-19 crisis.  A crisis that still exists until this day according to "businessman" Governor by decree Ned Lamont.  Lamont seems to be running for reelection viewing the state he has brought to its knees economically as a Utopia of the promised land where there is no crime, there are no murders, businesses flourish, people and  businesses can not wait to move into the state and the state is a place of abundance, caring, sharing and economic freedom.  Sadly it is a pipe dream compared to the distorted and horrific economic conditions that really exist of unchecked crime, drug abuse, murder, runaway inflation, excessive taxes and a lack of economic and personal freedoms especially in the inner cities of the state.  Many government agencies especially those that attempt to deal with social and or economic issues seem lost as to creating any coherent policies to resolve the issues that have plagued this state since the early 1990's.  It seems like every year is the same with the same social and economic problems that have only gotten worse year in and year out due to the complacency of a stale and inept politically correct government.  

How did Connecticut reach this bottom?  The blame is pointed by many in many different directions.  Democrats somehow blame the minority Republican Party and President Trump, the Republicans blame situations and some Democrats, Connecticut Taxpayers are blamed for not paying enough in taxes, public schools are blamed promoting/graduating students who lack basic skills to live in society, courts are to blame for not punishing criminals but somehow blaming victims, state agencies blame businesses for trying to operate in the state's command economy system rather than a free economic system that is seen in many other states, and it seems that those who are elected officials daily deflect blame for any of their unaccounted for actions and poor economic choices they make that have created this economic quagmire.  I really can not see those in power taking responsibility for their actions.  Just a constant victim blame game called state government.  It is comical to watch.

Thus when legal Connecticut voters go to the voting booth in November they face a troubling choice.  If they buy the gibberish of the Connecticut Democrat Party they confirm the harsh economic bottom they will be dug into with no way out.  If they vote Republican they are hoping and praying for some changes to take place so that their lives improve and that they end their economic slavery to an out of touch reality state government.  It is a stark choice.  Either to allow the Connecticut Democrat Party and Ned Lamont to win this illogical race to the economic bottom and economic ruin or hopefully restart the state on a path to social and economic freedom as it once was when the state was known as the "Constitution State".  What a decision to make.  And it is 1776 all over again.

 

The Moral Bankruptcy Of Democrat Led Connecticut

Full-blown moral bankruptcy is now here in Connecticut.  For all of its legal citizens and taxpayers to see and experience.  Compliments of the Connecticut Democrat Party.  My good friend Tony De Angelo recently discussed his thoughts on moral bankruptcy on his weekly segment this past Tuesday July 5th on the Lee Elci radio program heard on WJJF 94.9 FM, New London, CT.

Connecticut is a state where many non logical and incoherent concepts and ideas are force fed its citizens.  Murder for example can not be punishable by the death penalty since that is considered to be inhumane.  Was it inhumane for the person or persons to be murdered by an individual in the first place?  Why is murder allowed and is so prevalent in Connecticut?  The one who commits the murder is spared his or her life.  Why?  Drug overdoses and drug deaths are commonplace in the state as there is now a free flow of drug cartels operating out of the open Mexican borders to our country providing illegal drugs everywhere.  Is it essential that these borders are open to facilitate a drug cartel operation that kills and murders many of our teenagers and young adults in the state?  Marijuana and its derivatives have become legal in the state and the state has embarked upon a very complex licensing program that does not offer any logic as to who sells these "legal" drugs.  Legal drugs will be sold in the state, the state profits and more lives will be disrupted and more drug addicts created all for greater state tax revenue.  Is this the best economic stimulation that the state can come up with-illegal now legal drugs?  

What is next?  Heroin shooting galleries licensed by Connecticut's Department of Health?  Why is this allowed?  Children in schools rather than being taught essential skills to live and have careers are taught now instead about critical race theories, racism, a rewriting of American history, gender identification to the point of changing your sex before you are a teen without your parent's permission, how to wear a mask and the essential need to be vaccinated against a flu virus.  Why be a child today with the amount of depressing and incoherent political ideologies being force fed them?  Political ideologies that make our youth ill suited for any type of job or career or have an ability to raise a family?  Doesn't a child's parent have custody and are responsible for the child's well being and education from right versus wrong-not a failed, false narrative created by a liberal state government that is being jammed down their throats?  I can see why home schooling will be the norm for the future education of our children.  Education is not education in any sense of the word whatsoever in our schools today.

And why is abortion a guaranteed right of our state constitution that must be paid for by Connecticut Taxpayers up to a child that is considered full term when delivered?  Doesn't the unborn child have any rights when its heart starts beating?  Why are Christians in the state disrespected and vilified when they disagree with abortion?  Why isn't freedom of speech allowed when one disagrees with the concepts and morals of abortion?  If in theory it is your body and you have control over it why are we not allowed to reject an unproven vaccine for a flu virus and not lose your jobs, businesses and homes over it as has been seen with the never ending Covid-19 crisis?  Is abortion safer than the Covid-19 virus?  Don't both abortions and Covis-19 kill?  What about the 63 million deaths attributed to abortion since 1973?  Why would a state want to be known as an "abortion getaway'?  Why would a business want to move to such a morally bankrupt state such as Connecticut with the economic quagmire it is engulfed in of high taxes, high energy costs, excessive state short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities of $150 billion dollars, poor infrastructure, political corruption, absurd and senseless rules and laws along with a corrupted state government?  This is being "inclusive'?  

And Christians need not be afraid of speaking up.  I believe that the majority of Americans have strong moral religious beliefs and are sick and tired of this freak show called America that is displayed to them daily by an incomprehensible state run media of political correctness blabbering gibberish minute by minute, 24 hours a day, to advance their failed agenda of communism, socialism and totalitarianism in our free country.   

Moral bankruptcy has engulfed Democrat led Connecticut for years now.  Moral bankruptcy seems to the norm for the Democrat Party of America.  A lack of morals, a lack of ethics, a lack of truth and a lack of leadership has helped to trap its legal citizens into a morass of butchery, lies and deception.  It is a modern day trip through a Dante's like Inferno of a distorted and ill begotten path towards both economic and societal ruin.    It is Connecticut in 2022.  A Connecticut that is a living social and economic nightmare thanks to the Connecticut Democrat Party.   That is the reality of Connecticut.  And it is 1776 all over again.

Connecticut's Never Ending Democrat Party Crises

 Connecticut apparently now has never ending Democrat Party crises.  Connecticut Democrat Party crises sure look to be unusual to the casual observer.

Democrat/Communist United States Senator Richard Blumenthal has crises all of the time since he is a well known expert on everything and anything in our economy and society.  This allows for him to spew gibberish daily, in front of a camera like a bully and a true failed politician.  Just look how far Connecticut has declined over the years with him as both Attorney General and now as a Senator.

Democrat/Gun Control Fanatic/Geography expert United States Senator Chris Murphy has crises all of the time also since he must fund raise off of everything and anything in our economy and society.  Murphy who apparently is the Senate's expert on guns and gun control while not understanding the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. He also does not understand the minds of criminals and mentally impaired people who use guns.  Thus we have a gun crisis not a crime crisis nor a mental health crisis in our society.

Democrat/Socialist Governor Ned Lamont has crises all of the time since he is both the nation's Covid-19 expert and can amazingly earn massive profits from Connecticut Taxpayers monies through his family's hedge fund.  Remember  that these profits can never be revealed to the taxpaying public.   Although Covid-19 is no longer a health issue Connecticut still has a Covid-19 crisis so that it can continue to get Federal monies to battle it.  This crisis now lasts through December.  Connecticut is now going to be a vacation mecca for those seeking a legal up to full term abortion according to Lamont and his party.  At the same time those living children who have escaped a Connecticut induced abortion must continue to follow strict guidelines of getting vaccinations over their free will for Covid-19, keep wearing masks, be encouraged to change their sex/gender at any time while growing up and making sure they learn critical race theories rather than work/life skills for their future families and employment while attending Connecticut public schools.  

The real crises that should be looked at of runaway inflation, runaway state short/long term debt, unfunded liabilities, excessive crime, excessive murders, an out-of-control drug overdose/drug death problem, a high suicide rate, exorbitant home heating oil, gasoline, diesel prices, over taxation, the destruction of the family core and state government corruption seem never to be addressed by the Connecticut Democrat Party.  I wonder why?  And I wonder why the state run media in Connecticut has become an extension of the Connecticut Democrat Party along with state government labor unions?

Reality at some point in time will be cruel to everyone involved in this theater of the absurd call state government.  The reality that the real crises in Connecticut got ignored for too long and at the cost of many lives, ruined families, failed businesses, the depression based state economy and the unethical society that the state nurtures.  Failures in policies should not be viewed as successes as they are to the Connecticut Democrat Party.  The fools that masquerade as politicians are the cancer of Connecticut.  Their lies are noticeable.  Their lack of ethics is deplorable. The failure to call this out daily enables them. And it is 1776 all over again.

More Questions With No Answers On Connecticut's Genome Profit Testing

 My blog last week dealt with the costs and privacy issues of Sema-4's genome testing on Connecticut residents who have apparently been tested for Covid-19.  Last Tuesday Tony De Angelo who has a weekly radio spot with Lee Elci on WJJF 94.9 FM radio in New London, CT continued to question these issues with Ned Lamont, Sema-4,  payments to Sema-4, and genome testing.  Again this past week there has been deafening silence from the state run media and from both political parties on these severe breaches of continuing payments to Sema-4 and your medical privacy.  More payments were made this past week to Sema-4.  They include $2,905,575. on June 14, 2022 and $1,623,075 on June 15, 2022.  Prior to this $2.1 million dollars worth of payments were made to Sema-4 on April 30, 2022  after they supposedly quit all testing in the state in March 2022.  Sema-4 then received $6.6 million dollars in payments from April 30, 2022 to June 2, 2022.  Why all these payments?  Is Connecticut healthier now than before?  It does not seem so especially with all of the different Democrat Party related crisis Connecticut citizens must deal with such as infant formula shortages, rampant crime and theft, runaway inflation for food, businesses moving out of the state, a nursing shortage, runaway inflation for gasoline, diesel, and heating oil and high local/state taxes.

My questions that apparently will not get answered anytime soon are as follows as related to genome testing: How are all of these payments made possible with little evidence of purchase orders, work orders and why are the payments being made so quickly now?  One right after the other?  How many genome tests were done and to who in the state?  Were these state residents notified of these tests and in what manner?  How much were these tests costing Connecticut Taxpayers?  $250?  More?  Less? What do these tests prove and or disprove?  Again I thought a citizens medical information is private and was not being data mined to a company like Sema-4?  And why was this information so essential to the never ending Covid-19 crisis?  A crisis in which those who were most vulnerable were never protected by Governor Ned Lamont and his family's hedge fund workings or the state as seen by the amount of deaths in the states nursing and rehabilitation homes.  

Government actions need to be questioned.  Especially in the case of genome testing and payments. Personally I no longer believe our government has its common citizens best interests in mind with the unyielding and omnipotent power government at all levels exhibits on its citizens.  The same citizens who toil endlessly in a maze of governmental bureaucracy, corrupt non profits and "quasi-publics", and incoherent laws, rules and regulations to satisfy the false narratives that government dictates.  Washington and Hartford is a quagmire of theft and deception whose only concern is personal political gain and profit.  It is beyond being a swamp.

 I would again like to thank a common Connecticut citizen, Tony De Angelo, and the Lee Elci radio show for this investigative work in exposing this rape of personal freedoms in the state and rip off of Connecticut Taxpayers.

This issue will continue to be a defining issue on the Governors race.  Connecticut's government continues to be an unethical and incoherent debacle.  I guess lies are truth and truth are lies when it comes to genome testing and paying for them.  However one day truth will prevail again in our society.  It is 1776 all over again.

Democrat Connecticut-Where You Have No Medical Privacy Especially For Genome Testing

 Why isn't our medical information private? Why is this information allowed to be shared with a company that has direct ties to Ned Lamont's families hedge fund?  Where are the actual contracts that allowed this to happen?  How much is it costing Connecticut Taxpayers for this supposed legal theft of personal information?

Tony De Angelo who has a weekly radio spot with Lee Elci on WJJF 94.9 FM radio in New London, CT was the first individual in the state to bring these issues with Ned Lamont, Sema-4, payments to Sema-4, and genome testing to light for the public.  I like to expand and bring this issue back into the public view of Connecticut Taxpayers and voters.   When reading Connecticut's state run media news reports one finds little to no information on this issue.  Why is that?  Fraud seems to have taken place, payments have been made to Sema-4 with apparently no paperwork involved, and amazingly once again Ned Lamont's family hedge fund has profited off the backs of Connecticut Taxpayers.

Why did Sema-4 receive a second no bid state contract for genome testing on Connecticut's children and other Connecticut citizens?  If one looks closely at the contract one would see that genome testing was taking place on any individual no matter age who tested positive for Covid-19.  The information on this was apparently then kept by Sema-4 and then sent to a database in Munich, Germany (this is considered the subcontractor in the work order).  Two purchase orders were issued by the State Public Health Department one for $688,500 and one for $500,000.  The time frame for these two purchase orders was September 28, 2021 for payments.  If one looks at the Connecticut record of payments made to vendors you can see that $2.1 million dollars worth of payments were made to Sema-4 on April 30, 2022  after they supposedly quit all testing in the state in March 2022.  Sema-4 then received $3.6 million dollars in payments from April 30, 2022 to June 2, 2022.  What were these payments for?  Were any purchase orders and or contracts issued for these payments?  There seems to be a massive amount of errors, back tracking, breaking of the contract, not breaking of the contract, why they were paid, where data went, where data did not go, and damage control to justify the additional $3.6 million dollars worth of payments that were made to Sema-4 on April 30, 2022  after they supposedly quit all testing in the state in March 2022.   However in my opinion it is impossible to both understand and to justify these payments other than Ned Lamont's family hedge fund has a financial interest in Sema-4 that obviously runs much deeper than Connecticut Taxpayers interests and ethics.   

Also what happens when Ned Lamont loses the election for Governor?  How will Ned Lamont's family hedge fund continue to make money off of Connecticut Taxpayers?

The bigger question is why did this personal medical information on genome testing take place?  And why is this information now in some sort of database in Munich, Germany?  Who can see it and why must they see it?  Was the Covid-19 virus just a big experiment to gain profits for an elite few such as Sema-4 and Ned Lamont's family hedge fund?  I thought your personal medical information was private and not part of a vast socialist experiment by a ruthless political ruling class?  Sadly all of my questions and questions of many others continue to go unanswered.  I would like to thank a common Connecticut citizen, Tony De Angelo, and the Lee Elci radio show for this investigative work in exposing a horrific debacle of payments and testing that never should have happened nor been paid out.  

This issue will be a defining issue on the Governors race.  Connecticut's government is an unethical and incoherent debacle.  It is 1776 all over again.

Government Is The New Theater-A Bad Movie That You Are Forced To Watch

I have come to the conclusion that our government at all levels is our new theater.  It has replaced the works of writers and real actors who provided us with drama, mysteries, comedies and the like  years ago.  For our government today represents today a bad movie we can never get out of our head nor really want to watch any more.  But we are forced to watch it every day 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.  It is the new entertainment.  It is the show of all shows providing millions of legal Americans a glimpse of how far we have fallen as a society and as a country since our inception and formation in 1776.  It shows how inept our elected officials have become.  It shows how corrupted our elected officials have become.  It shows how selfish our elected officials have become.  It shows how economically illiterate our elected officials have become.  It shows how and why our elected officials want to strip us of our personal freedoms. It shows how our elected officials have become relentless in their quest to turn America into a new and failed Socialist and Communist state.  

Whatever the crisis the bad government theater has a new script, a new drama, a new quest to hurt America and its citizens.  Just look at the never ending Covid-19 crisis. Just look at the never ending deaths from drug overdoses crisis.  Just look at the never ending illegal immigration crisis.  Just look at the never ending human trafficking crisis.  Just look at the never ending abortion crisis.  Just look at the never ending children being murdered in school crisis. Just look at the never ending supply chain crisis.  Just look at the never ending young people suicide crisis.  Just look at the never ending crime crisis.  Just look at the never ending corrupted elected officials crisis.  Just look at the never ending politically correct crisis.  Just look at the never ending BLM/race/critical race theory crisis.  Just look at the never ending not enough spending on social welfare programs crisis.  Just look at the never ending jobs crisis.  Just look at the never ending housing crisis.  Just look at the never ending gender change crisis.  Just look at the never ending climate change crisis.  Just look at the never ending corrupted local government crisis.  Just look at the never ending corrupted state government crisis. Just look at the never ending gun crisis.  Just look at the never ending tax crisis.  Just look at the never ending education crisis. Crisis, catastrophe, emergency, disaster, calamity.  Pick one and act, create a theater of the absurd, a theater of pain and suffering, a theater of false promises and lies, a theater where right is wrong and lies are truth.  And preach it every day 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

America and Connecticut has superb actors and actresses that parade as our elected officials.  Watching Joe Biden,  Nancy Pelosi, Ned Lamont, Richard Blumenthal, Chris Murphy and others act daily is truly laughable.  Over 150 years plus of "government" experience has helped to bring both Connecticut and our country to the point of economic ruin, the destruction of our young children, the destruction of the middle class and most importantly the destruction of most personal freedoms in our lives.  

Government should have the best and the brightest of a society in it.  It should have people from all walks of life and ideologies in it.  It should be concerned with the people in the economy that they supposedly represent.  It should provide the essentials needed for economic growth, personal freedom and safety for all.  It has none of that at this time.  Instead our government at all levels has warped into a forced slavery of crime, murder, indoctrination, excessive taxation, corruption and theft.  Theft of freedom and ideas.  A political ruling class who shows daily the absurdity of their ideas.  This theater needs to end on November 8, 2022.  It is 1776 all over again.

Maybe The Democrat Party Remembers Stable Prices-No Inflation? Energy Independence? Freedom In Europe?

 Remember when the United States was a strong country back in 2017 to 2020?  Remember when the United States was energy independent in 2019 and 2020?  Remember when there was little to no inflation in our country from 2017 to 2020?  Remember when shelves in grocery stores were full back in 2017 to parts of 2020?   Remember how most of our country and world were going to die from Covid-19 from 2020 right up to a few weeks ago if we did not wear masks, stay six feet apart, and or avoid contact with other human beings?  Remember when there were a bunch of peace treaties signed in the Middle East back a few years ago?  Remember Afghanistan and all of the American soldiers who died there?  Remember all of the American allies still stuck in Afghanistan in 2022?  Remember when the Ukraine was a free country?  Remember how the media force fed us daily the bad news of former President Trump and his bad tweets/speeches/policies/decisions/economy/ on a daily basis from 2017 to 2020?  I do and you probably do also.

Now think about how bad the crisis is in the Ukraine with Russia.  Now think about the possibility of nuclear war in 2022. Now think about how fragile freedom is in many Eastern European countries today due to the murderous Russian regime ready to invade at any minute.  Now think about how bad it is that we are supporting Russia by buying their oil rather than being energy independent.  Now think about how bad energy prices have increased and how much gas, heating oil and natural gas is actually costing you.  Now think about all the shortages you are seeing in the stores with food products.  Now think about how bad inflation is overall and how much less money you have in 2022. Now think about how bad the lies of Covid-19 have been and how much in profits Ned Lamont's family hedge fund have made in it.  Now think about all of the elderly who died needlessly in Connecticut trapped in nursing homes from Covid-19.  I think about this daily and you probably do also.

A lot has changed under Democrat Party leadership (if you call it that) in 2022.  A lot has changed with a failed and frail Joe Biden being a puppet President that is dragged around by his nose by the Socialist/Communists who run the Democrat Party in 2022.  The same Socialist/Communists who run the Democrat Party who also hate freedom, free people, freedom of thought, the free enterprise system, and  stable prices.  The same Socialist/Communists who run the Democrat Party who embrace unchecked illegal immigration, child trafficking, the free flow of illegal drugs and illegal drug use/deaths,  runaway inflation and unchecked crime/career criminals free to roam anywhere and everywhere in 2022.  This is the reality of 2022 with the Socialist/Communists who run the Democrat Party.  This is the record that these same Socialist/Communists who run the Democrat Party are running for re election on in 2022.

It is not the Connecticut nor America you and or anyone else wants in 2022.  So why are we accepting it?  Most of us aren't accepting these lies contrary to what the state run media wants us to believe.  This to me seems to be the beginnings of the seeds of economic, social and political disconnect being sown and nurtured against the Socialist/Communists who run the Democrat Party in 2022.  The battle for the state and America is being fought daily.  And I am confident that the tremendous losses in power and policy that the Democrat Party will endure in the election of 2022 after their massive defeats on Election Day will put an end once and for all for to their brand of dictatorship that we as a country have always hated since the 1770's.  Are we back to 1776?  I wonder.  If we are it is the way it is supposed to be.  Free America from the Democrat Party. 

Why Does The Connecticut Democrat Party Like To Rip-Off Connecticut Taxpayers?

 I wonder why the Connecticut Democrat Party likes to rip-off Connecticut Taxpayers?  Scandal after scandal, time after time we see our elected officials especially in the Connecticut Democrat Party ripping Connecticut Taxpayers off for their advantage.  For over 30 years now.  Whether it is profits made off of no bid state Covid-19 contracts, a  lack of delivery for items paid for by these same non bid state Covid-19 contracts, profits made by Sema-4 tests and testing, the actual number of political patronage state jobs that were given to Connecticut Democrat Party friends, donors and family members since the Malloy/Lamont dictatorships began, and last but not least how much did the Director of the Connecticut office of School Construction Konstantijnos Diamantis receive for his strong arm tactics in his apparent steering of contracts for these same school projects he oversaw-how much did the Connecticut Taxpayer get ripped off in total?  How incompetent is Ned Lamont that he had no idea whatsoever what his good fried Diamantis was doing with these school building projects?  Are these examples a reason why Connecticut has a $62500 per person debt tax they are facing in the future?  Are these examples as to why Connecticut is last or near last in many economic categories and has one of the highest tax rates in the country?  Sadly the rip-offs, scandals and examples are never ending by the Connecticut Democrat Party.

The festive mood of ripping off the Connecticut Taxpayer by the Connecticut Democrat Party should sicken everyone in the state.  It should also bring about a daily condemnation by the Connecticut Republican Party leaders and leadership.  It should be questioned by law officials and organizations like the FBI and Department of Justice if they still are functional in upholding the rule of law (whatever that means today).  I thought Connecticut had a power hungry, ego driven and aggressive law enforcing Democrat State Attorney General who obviously has turned a blind eye to what has and is happening in the state that is illegal.  Does he understand what laws are or are they no longer applicable to the Connecticut Democrat Party?  He is no longer competent to serve in office and needs to resign.  Could it be the Connecticut Democrat Party is above the law and or the rule of law or the State Constitution does not apply to them so they can continue their racketeering and rip-off of Connecticut Taxpayers?

This is the record that the Connecticut Democrat Party is running for re-election on in 2022.  It is not the record that the record that the Connecticut Republican Party is running on.  How anyone in the state run media could confuse these records is beyond me.  Please spare Connecticut Taxpayers the lies and untruths that we will be force fed to voters day in and day out for the election.  They are all lies.  The Connecticut Democrat Party no matter how they wish to spin it have been ripping Connecticut Taxpayers off for years now.  Their failed policies have helped make Connecticut a state of little ethics, high crime, high debt, corruption and lies.  Is this really the state you wish to work and live in?  I would assume that it is not.  It is time for politicians and the Connecticut Democrat Party to stop ripping off Connecticut Taxpayers.  It is time for truth and the rule of law to be what Connecticut's Government is and will be after the supposed election in November, 2022.  It is time to say goodbye once and for all to the irrational and incompetent Connecticut Democrat Party and their hacks this election.
