The Myriad Permutations of Socialism. Democrats in 2026

I have followed with interest the continuing drama of Conservative Talk Show Host (and friend to us all) Lee Elci in his bid for the Connecticut State Senate Seat of the 20th District against Democrat incumbent Martha (“Wire Cutter”) Marx.

As was quite predictable to me, once Elci announced his candidacy, Marx pressed her right to the statutory benefits of “equal time,” in other words, being allowed to broadcast to the 94.9 News and Stimulating Talk audience that follows Elci at comparable times of the day. As the station works out the details of the demand, Marx was bold and glib to state her intentions to “The Day” of New London. https://theday.com/news/916512/democrat-marx-considers-sharing-airwaves-with-conservative-talk-show-hosts/

As stated in the article: “Marx said she has no shortage of topics she would address if she goes on air — tenant rights, LGBTQ issues, health care, immigration — many of them will come with a view from the left and will be a contrast to the themes, advertisements, and callers on Elci’s show.

“I don’t know how many listeners Lee Elci has, and I don’t know that his listeners would care about hearing what I’m talking about,” Marx said. “I would be able to elevate and give a voice to so many of the causes that are so important to me.


“The first day, I might have representatives from Planned Parenthood, OutCT and Moms Demand Action,” Marx said. “I would have my Democratic colleagues and candidates on, and listeners would be able to hear their real voices instead of the lies they usually hear on that station,” Marx said.”

While being a First Amendment absolutist and a strong believer in the law of equal time, I beg to differ with Senator Marx in that perhaps not everything spoken on station 94.9 is a lie. For example, Senator Marx inexplicably cut wires under her legislative seat in 2024 causing multiple thousands of dollars in damage and neither political party called for censure, expulsion, or even an investigation. https://ctexaminer.com/2024/08/08/state-senator-cuts-voting-box-wires-damages-could-reach-15k-sources-say/ . However, my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo did, only to be rebuffed by the ostensibly cowardly Capitol Police. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUehKZTrxpA&t=2s However Tony is not bothered, as he will sure to ask Martha as to her reasons for doing what she did with the wires when the floor is hers, and 200,000 ears will listen for the answer.


Some may find all the foregoing entertaining. Others may find it vengeful. But my reasons of recounting the foregoing are only for the purposes of showing the First Amendment of the United States Constitution at work and showing that Freedom of Speech is a blessing to us all and is indeed a two-way street, much to the chagrin and uncomfortableness awaiting Martha Marx in the future.

But even that premise pales in comparison to the most critical issue: Because we live in a free society where all can throw stones and duck stones thrown at them, both Marx and Elci have the right to say whatever they wish within the limits of actual malice and threat. Marx may now have difficulty, fear, and trembling coming to grips with that reality, which may be why her and her ilk run to the marvelous umbrella of Socialism as the elixir that heals all ills. What these misguided souls do not comprehend is that in Socialism and Marxism one’s right to dissent is often met with ostracization, imprisonment, beatings and yes, even death.

You see in Socialism, Marx thinks she is safe being on the side of the oppressor, for now. But oh, how little does she really understand?

 Imagine being tortured to death because you were forced to believe the lies your government was claiming and disagreed with them. Imagine you were a firm believer in Freedom-Freedom of thought, economic and personal freedom, freedom to live your life without governmental control.

Imagine reading about and believing that the Holocaust existed and that over eleven million were tortured to death by a variety of means especially those of Jewish faith and of Polish ancestry.

Imagine reading about and believing that the around twelve million died during the peaceful Russian Revolution of Communism and Marxism.

Imagine reading about and believing that in Cuba, the Castro Brothers were responsible for over 12,000 deaths by various means including firing squads and their murder of Oswaldo Payá.

Look him up if you dare.

Imagine reading about and believing that in China under Mao Zedong's rule that 30 to 45 million died under his tortures and starvation.

Imagine reading about and believing that in North Korea since 1948 over ten million have died from torture and or starvation.

Imagine reading about and believing that in Cambodia, Pol Pot killed over two million of its own citizens through a variety of means. 

Yet these bothersome facts are ignored. Forgotten by enthusiastic and brainwashed Democrat Socialists of America and their paid protestors continually forgetting the 100 million people who have been murdered in one way or another over past 100 years by Socialist/Communist regimes in our world.  Somehow, in 2026 too many young people have no idea of the destruction brought about by communist regimes throughout our world history. I personally will never forget my ancestors in Poland were murdered in cold blood by both the Germans and Russians during World War II and many years afterwards. As far as they have been told, Socialism is the land of Milk and Honey and they will all be standing at the end of a plenteous conveyor belt amply supplied by government and the working taxpayers.

Thus in 2026, I am forced to write this column in support of freedom and our free United States of America with the Marx-Elci race as a perfect example of what all of this means. An America that we are somehow led to believe that freedom is bad because of irrational, incomprehensible, and illogical arguments by a propaganda machine of liberal wealthy elitists (or brainless “useful idiots” like Marx). One must wonder why our political system is being hijacked by these domestic terrorists better known as liberal Democrats who have intense hatred of President Trump and no coherent or conclusive solutions to any critical issue.

Facts do not lie. Millions of innocent people have died because of Socialism and Communism and continue to die today. It is nothing new. One can twist and distort the evils of Socialism and Communism to suit their hatred of our country and our free way of life. The new age Democrat Socialists of America are just as bad as their ancestors, arguably worse in that they do not know the world of horror upon which they tread.  We do not need this kind of evil being spread in our country and in our upcoming election. The atrocities of Socialism and Communism are on full display today with the Democrat Party and their lies. The great silent majority has had enough of their wokeness, pomposity, and waste of human life.

 

Therefore, in closing, does Senator Marx understand or comprehend any of this? My guess is no. However, she would be made to understand quite readily when a much  more dastardly and purposed far leftist wishes to take her to far more treacherous places that even she could tolerate. By then, the usefulness of her idiocy will have expired and she will “get the bullet” just like multiple thousands before her. Because the only way one like Marx can ever get to address our views and redress our grievances in a society free allowing life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness through the resources God has provided and the elimination of government micromanagement.

Whatever goes around, comes around.  If only these delusional Democrats understood that before it becomes too late.

The Attorney General. An Advocate For The People. (But, For Which People?)

 Willam Tong (commonly known as “Bill Tong” before he assumed office in 2019), is the Attorney General of the State of Connecticut.

Many people often inquire about the role of the Attorney General, and in this connection, State of Connecticut manuals provide a clear description of his role.

 “The Attorney General is the chief civil legal officer of the State of Connecticut. The Attorney General's Office (“AGO”) serves as legal counsel to all state agencies and acts to protect the public interest for the people of the State of Connecticut. Among the critical missions of the AGO are to represent and advocate the interests of the state and its citizens as vigorously as possible, to ensure that state government acts within the letter and spirit of the law, to ensure that public resources are protected for present and future generations, to ensure that the quality of life of all our citizens is preserved and enhanced, and to ensure that the rights of our most vulnerable citizens are safeguarded.

The Attorney General represents the state government, its elected officers, and state boards, commissions, and agencies in suits and other civil proceedings in which the state has an interest. The Attorney General also provides opinions to the agencies of state government, state officers, and the General Assembly upon questions of law submitted to him by such parties. The Attorney General also acts as counsel for state officials in matters pertaining to their official duties. The Attorney General has a role in screening regulations of state agencies, state contracts, and extradition papers.

By virtue of this statutory responsibility to provide legal direction to state government, the Attorney General is in a critical position to advise all segments of the government so that they can carry out their responsibilities in accordance with the law.

In addition, the Attorney General possesses extensive statutory powers that enable him to represent the public interest more generally.

The Attorney General is elected by the people to a term of four years, is committed by law to serving full-time, and must be an attorney-at-law who has been admitted to practice in Connecticut for at least ten years. The Attorney General receives an annual salary of $110,000."

However, like the Ford Motor Company said in advertisements of days long past, William Tong “Has a Better Idea” as to what the Attorney General’s role should be. At a December 5, 2024 anti-Donald Trump meeting at the Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services ("IRIS") meeting in New Haven, CT, William Tong tossed out the policy manual of the State of Connecticut and provided the following statements regarding his official function when it comes to defending the priority of rights of illegal aliens:

"But look, America runs on Dunkin and undocumented workers," said AG Tong. "And we need to remind everybody, okay, they're coming. Right? And one of the ways we can stop them as best we can is to speak out... and to remind everybody if you like strawberries and avocados, or hamburgers, right? Then, likely those strawberries, avocados and hamburger meat likely was packed not just by immigrant workers, but undocumented immigrant workers."

"Fifty percent. Fully half of farm workers and meat packing workers in this country are undocumented," continued AG Tong. "If you won't eat anything touched by an immigrant or undocumented workers' hand, you'll be pretty hungry." (https://connecticutcentinal.com/ct-ag-tong-says-america-runs-on-dunkin-and-undocumented-immigrants-claims-ct-would-be-toast-without-illegals-at-eye-opening-iris-event/).

Now to be fair, William Tong was joined at this meeting by several other like-minded officials such as Dr. Madeline Negron, Superintendent of New Haven Public Schools, Mayor Justin Elicker, and Chief of Police Kurt Jacobsen all promoting a sense of wariness, false hope, and comfort to those within the city illegally. But of particular interest is the Attorney General who tosses off a “fifty percent” of farm workers figure for justifying his support for lawbreaking. I wonder where he got the fifty percent figure? It is published somewhere that the Connecticut and American Taxpayers can read about it? Does this figure include also food produced and harvested in Connecticut? Does this publicly-funded employee or his family have financial interests in Dunkin Donuts? My good friend Tony De Angelo also discussed this meeting at length this past Tuesday 12/9 on the Lee Elci Show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2k-3zjT34Y) and on the 12/11 THIRTY WITH TONY video show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUaEO7ZKTw0&ab_channel=TonyDeAngelo%27sP.M.CoasttoCoast

In Tony’s segments, he asks the following question (in paraphrase): “I thought the job of the Attorney General was to protect tax compliant dopes like me from people operating illegally, paying no taxes, and abusing their workers.” And good question, indeed. Many are wondering how does this "defense" of illegal immigrants fit into the legality of Tong’s office according to his job description?  Doesn't Attorney General Tong have more pressing problems in the state? But his attacks echo the spirit of a liberal activist Democrat Attorney General who somehow creates new law expositions and evaluations that will coincide with the twisted and wretched Democrat Party narrative. 

Another such episode can be seen in Tong's absurd and inane lawsuit  where in 2020, he filed a lawsuit against Exxon/Mobil alleging that "ExxonMobil has orchestrated an ongoing, systematic campaign of lies and deception” to hide from the public that burning fossil fuels contributes to climate change. (https://www.manifest.co.uk/exxonmobil-to-go-to-court-over-climate-deception-lawsuit/). From that same article he also stated: ExxonMobil “knew decades ago that the release of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, when fossil fuels are combusted, was a substantial factor in causing global warming.” Tong claimed ExxonMobil knew as early as the 1950s and 1960s that the company’s activities were contributing to climate change and said by the early 1980s it was able to predict “the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the corresponding temperature increase for the year 2020”.

I am curious that Attorney General Tong knew that much about "global warming" before he was born and where his facts came from? But tossing unsupported statistics is how he rolls, much like many of his state peers. He is merely following the blueprint as to how to financially shake down a company for political purposes (just like Senator Blumenthal did for almost 20 years as Attorney General). I wonder what would happen if Exxon/Mobil agreed to close their over 40 gas/diesel stations in Connecticut to settle this malicious suit?  What would the economic impact to the state in lost taxes, jobs and the like be? Could people shop for groceries, go to medical appointments, and go to school and to work to pay exorbitant Connecticut taxes without using these evil fossil fuels? And why does Attorney General Tong since his birth continue to use these evil fossil fuels?  But of course, there is zero-accountability in Connecticut where its not about what is compliant and coherent, but rather it is about what is convenient and confused at this moment in order to establish an Alinsky-esque twisted political goal.

But wait! There's More! Another critical issue that Connecticut Taxpayers will be funding thanks to Attorney General Tong is an "abortion hotline". This was created with no public consent by the State legislature with the Reproductive Equity Now Foundation. "Connecticut has seen firsthand what happens when we mobilize and organize at the state level: electing pro-choice majorities in the State House and State Senate, passing laws that expand access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care, and most recently, implementing the Reproductive Freedom Defense Act, one of the first shield laws successfully passed post-Dobbs to protect providers and those seeking care in Connecticut. Reproductive Equity Now is excited to expand the capacity of advocates in Connecticut and build a regional powerhouse for abortion access. We strongly believe that Connecticut is key to making New England a regional block for abortion access. With protection for providers on the books, in addition to digital privacy laws to protect the location and information of people accessing care in the state, Connecticut is a place where people can feel safe and protected when traveling to access compassionate care. But there is still work to do to break down barriers to reproductive health care, especially for Black, brown, LGBTQ+, and young people. We’re growing our team and we’re expanding our capacity to think even bigger and bolder when it comes to passing reproductive equity legislation in the state. (https://reproequitynow.org/connecticut)

If you read this organizations legislative agenda, it falls into line with what the liberal Connecticut Democrat Party agenda on abortion on demand, health care for immigrants through the "Husky 4 Immigrants Coalition and more. (https://reproequitynow.org/connecticut-legislative-agenda)

In review of the three stated crusades above, the operative question then becomes: who does Connecticut's Democrat Attorney General William Tong really represent and work for? Illegals? Tax cheating businesses? Irrational Green New Deal idealogues? Pro-abortion advocates wanting innocent taxpayers to consistently pay for their bad choices? In review of the above, William Tong certainly does not represent the legal Connecticut Citizens and Taxpayers who are forced to foot the bill for his liberal, self-driven, narrow-minded and twisted political agenda. He threw away the mission statement in his approach to the OAG. He seems to a big part of the Omnipotent One-Party Connecticut Democrat Party rule which is vital to propping up the last gasps of socialism that have made Connecticut an economic failure and disaster over the past thirty years. Connecticut's Democrat Attorney General William Tong is yet another extreme failure in his misguided gibberish that defines a political manifesto that does not work or is wanted any more. Once again, honest, compliant, and taxpaying citizen, be damned.

Does Government For The People Exist Any More?

I wonder what has happened to our government.  Does our government represent you and I, the common taxpayers in our society? The past four years at the Federal and Connecticut level have seen an enormous amount of governing by fiat; executive orders on anything and everything that can buy votes and or satisfy a political donor base.  We have seen a continual disregard of law through numerous dictates from the Biden-Harris and King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable administrations including (but not limited to) energy independence, an open and unchecked border, an elimination of student loan debt, runaway inflation, a deadly illegal drug crisis, rampant homelessness due to governmental incompetence, a $35 trillion dollar National Debt crisis, a failed and costly green energy at all costs policy, dilution of personal rights, attempted assassinations of a Presidential candidate, national security blunders, and much, much more.  This is not the latest news to anyone.  Bad and incoherent decisions at the national level by a President who is a shell of his former self along with an unprepared, speech stumbling (and possibly impaired) Vice President has placed our country in danger and vulnerable to a loss of personal freedoms and war with communist/totalitarian countries.  We are in great peril at this time in our nation's history at about every level of our government.  

Again, I still wonder what happened to our government.  Many taxpayers and legal citizens feel a total disconnect with their government and questionable actions.  They feel they have been lied to by politicians who were elected to represent all people in their district, town and or city.  That is no longer the case except for certain exceptions.  Many politicians today have a clear-cut agenda that if you disagree with it, you are treated a leper to society.  One excellent example of this is the unchecked hatred by many in our government against a free Israel and the freedom of religion for those of the Jewish faith.  Another example was the severe economic destruction forced by Connecticut's government during the Covid-19 debacle.  How many lives and businesses were destroyed by the draconian executive orders issued by The Unaccountable?   To this day no one knows how much profit was made through no bid contracts by the state with companies that were owned by his family's hedge fund Oak HC/FT.  How much was it?  Who else in the political universe cashed in? And why does no elected official whatsoever join my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo who has doggedly and continually pursued these questions since the onset.

As is the usual part for the Connecticut course, no constructive differences are seen anywhere as compared to the sad and sick National scene. Last week, a labor action at the New Haven Omni became a Connecticut political celebrity show as vain and exploitative Democrat politicians were photographed on the picket line until they were embarrassed and shamed on radio and Twitter. This forced the picket to be dissolved and moved inside, thus having the laborers lose momentum and credibility as they suffered by the the self-gratifying gluttony of the state masters. As Tony pointed out on the September 17 “Lee Elci Show” on 94.9, this conduct violates every ethical premise whatsoever of the role of an elected official in a labor matter which is not to take sides. Also, there was a visit ten miles off of the state border by President Trump at a Long Island rally on September 18 that drew interest from over 60,000 people. Yet, no mention of this was made on Channels 8, 3, 30, or 61. Nor was there any disclosure of this significant event from either state political party. Why? Is Donald Trump not the GOP Presidential Candidate? If you are a Democrat, is Donald Trump not an existential threat to you, and now he would be so (so) close to you that you need to call the police you diluted and defunded to protect you from him? But chances are, you never knew about the rally as your political betters felt you did not need to know and they controlled the state run news outlets accordingly. Why? Because you do not matter. They know better. You are a citizen.  And citizen, be damned.

But wait, this all gets better for you. Taxpayers must also hear the daily unhinged rhetoric of Connecticut’s State Senator Duff and United States Senator Chris Murphy as they continually spew ignominious hatred of President Trump and all who disagree with them.  Senator Murphy is one of the prime hit men for the Democrat Party in his incoherent gibberish he spurts and spouts about President Trump and the Republican party.  One needs to remind the Senator that his party has been in charge over the past four years and owns the problems we have in 2024.  Do both Senators not realize that they may have legal voters and taxpayers who support President Trump of whom they have a duty to represent?  And don't these same legal voters and taxpayers have a right to freedom of speech and belief in their support of President Trump?  Or is that not allowed any more especially with two assassination attempts on President Trump's life?  I no longer see the Democrat Party especially with puppets like Murphy and Duff representing legal voters and taxpayers, as the conduct of fine and responsible Democratic leaders of the past like Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy is probably on the way to be excised from the revisionist history books.

Politicians can never take responsibility for their incoherent and hurtful actions as taxpayers serve our political class especially in Connecticut and other blue states.  Our government is crumbling before us with a constant stream of disjointed and muddled pomposity that we are force fed daily by our elected officials and an obedient state-run media. Your government exists now only for a ruling elite, a similar ruling elite that we broke away from England from in 1776.  The mental beating up of taxpayers is tiring and unjustifiable by its government.  That is the situation we are in 2024.  A government where the citizen is damned while the elected official reigns unchecked and authoritarian in its omnipotent rule.  We have a massive disconnect in our society with our government and its citizens.  The time is now to put an end to this disgrace of democracy.  Because enough is indeed, enough.

 

Philanthropic Hypocrisy- The Lamont’s’ Innovative New Profit-Making Game.

Money is made in Connecticut.  Especially if you are His Royal-Con-Man King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable, and his wife Annie Lamont. Especially when you know you will never be questioned nor investigated by the Legislature nor from your state-supported “journalists” about what you have done, how your profits were made, how much of Connecticut Taxpayers monies have been invested in companies you own, and as to why your income tax statements are forever hidden from Connecticut Taxpayers. You take comfort in the fact that there are still no state media questions to your issues and involvements with Sema-4, Digital Currency Group, and its affiliates, ADVANCECT, 4-CT, Boston Consulting Group, Digital Currency Group, UNITE US, Mt. Sinai Genomics, “The Horsebarn Hill Investment Fund”, McKinsey and the Lamont-based Cayman Islands shell companies.  Ned and Annie Lamont need not be transparent to Connecticut as they own Connecticut, and they are continually held to be unaccountable by all for whatsoever they may do.

Con artists and grifters are continually in search of new marks. The new mark and obvious profit-making machine are Annie Lamont and her new “Tidal River Fund”.  The Tidal River Fund is yet another new state-driven startup for women and minorities for financing “early-stage startups of businesses”.  How and why this fund/program is any different than the myriad of State of Connecticut programs for women and minorities no one can explain.  However, the branding on the Tidal River Fund is that Annie Lamont founded it along with former Democrat Governor Dan Malloy's niece Alison Malloy, who just happens to be also the managing director of the state’s questionable secretive venture capital arm, “Connecticut Innovations”.  The spin on Tidal River is also that there are 21 (twenty-one) first time investors who have invested $25,000 in the fund.  It is important to note that there has already been a $100,000 investment by another cloistered state entity named “CTNext” to this fund.  Both Connecticut Innovations and CTNext are supposedly investing heavily in Tidal River but many fund investments will show little (if any) results once the “winners” are segregated from “losers” and the “winners” are picked for funding.    Possibly one reason the new Tidal River Fund is different than other investments is that is has the Democrat pedigree of the relatives of two of the worse Governors in the state's history, Malloy, and Lamont The Unaccountable. But by these people appearing magnanimous, this endeavor will never come to full transparency with respect to its reason for existence, and its benefit to the state as a whole.

Investments by the many state/private nonprofits for job creation and business formation are vast in the state and are intentionally made difficult to follow.  The Lamonts’ plea of ignorance as to the number of investments made with Connecticut taxpayer's monies into Oak HC/FT hedge fund companies would be funny if it were not so ridiculous and sick.  One should be reminded of the atrocious economic record of Connecticut even though billions of dollars of Connecticut Taxpayer's monies are dumped yearly to prop up the economic ventures and failures of Democrat Connecticut political operatives. Even so, Connecticut continues to rank last and or near last in many business categories and ranks at the top of the highest taxes in the country.  Do keep in mind that Connecticut has $100 to $150 billion dollars in unfunded liabilities along with short- and long-term debt, with no endgame in sight nor any plan to satisfy the debt.

In addition, please keep in mind that Connecticut is a state without any ethics or firewalls operating in a continual state of moral bankruptcy. My friend and colleague Tony De Angelo from the Lee Elci Show (WJJF 94.9 and THIRTY WITH TONY) took one look at this arrangement and said “Bob, this is a wonderful way for the Lamont family to scout companies with potential and invest in what they want and/or direct others to invest under a cloak of philanthropy. What is even better is that they and their cronies get to be observant “venture capitalists” without “venturing” one red cent. There is no written agreement against self-dealing in these start-ups. Nothing whatsoever prevents them from doing whatever they want, especially as they know they will never be questioned, and given their past track record it is shameful and sick that no one is questioning them”. Tony’s observations are barometer as to how business gets done by the politically connected in the once proud Nutmeg State

So, it is another year, and it is another innovative and racket-style Lamont Family economic plan for personal profit while inane marketing gimmicks like the "Make It Here" campaign (if you are not taxed out of business, robbed at gun point, or have your vehicles stolen), are to suffice for the rest of us.  More of the same rhetoric and more of the same results by the profit driven team that leads Connecticut. 

 The power-hungry Democrat Governor and his wife are the first couple of their kingdom in so many ways. This should sicken the state-but never will.  It’s profit (and now philanthropic hypocrisy) over people, especially in Connecticut.

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. 

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.

The $45,150,000 Ned Lamont Sema-4 Debacle For Connecticut Taxpayers

 What's another $45,150,000 to Connecticut Taxpayers who are already in debt for roughly $150 billion dollars of short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities at this time?  The $45,150,000 is what Sema 4 has been able to obtain with little to no oversight in Covid-19 and Genomics testing from the State of Connecticut.  Loans and unknown billings and payments that in many cases continue not to be reconciled nor disclosed as of today.  This is all public information as found on the website: (/opencheckbook.ct.gov/#!/year/All%20Years/explore/0-/vendor/SEMA4+GENOMICS/1/service).  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.  Incredibly Sema 4 is now laying people off.  250 Connecticut employees were laid off and the Branford location will be closing at the end of the year.  They apparently are moving to Maryland.

But wait! What about the State of Connecticut loan of $15 million dollars to this politically connected company?  Will that be repaid?  Or was it a typical Connecticut Democrat Party loan that does not need to be paid back nor accounted for in the corrupted political world of Connecticut since it apparently was approved in secret?   Why are many of the invoices that Sema 4 was paid for still not reconciled in the state ledger?  What did Sema 4 do with the State of Connecticut loan money?  What was the role of the Lamont's family hedge fund with Sema 4 and how was there no conflict of interest seen between the Governor and this company?  Is there any accountability for it and or questioning by any state oversight agency as to the money spent?  We still do not have answers from two years ago as to the companies that have had investments made in them by Oak HC/FT Partners relating to the Covid-19 crisis include "Thermo Fisher Scientific", "Sema 4", " Core Infomatics", "Ocrulus", "Urjanet", "1life Healthcare", "Galileo Health", "Castlight Health", "Paladina Health", and "VillageMD" to name a few.   They seem to all have ties to Connecticut also in the form of contracts to do business with the State of Connecticut, its non profits, or surrounding states via no bid contracts.  Connecticut Taxpayers still do not how much profit was made by Oak HC/FT Partners and the Lamont family  from these contracts and or companies.  What about a securities fraud law firm, asking for an investigation of Sema4 Holdings Corp. on behalf of its investors this past week?  Again why is this not an issue in the current campaign for Governor?  Why can't Connecticut Taxpayers get answers?

Why does corporate welfare continue in Connecticut?  Do Connecticut Taxpayers and the economy gain anything other than lies and smoke screens from corporate welfare?  What purpose and economic value did the $45,150,000 worth of payments provide Connecticut Taxpayers?  Why was Sema 4 given a $15, 000,000 loan only to have their business decline, lay workers off and basically move out of state?  No questions asked by any elected official in the state about this.  

Truth continues to be in short supply with Ned Lamont, his family's hedge fund and the Connecticut Democrat Party.  Ned Lamont really needs to come clean with the secret web he has woven around his financial interests financed by the Connecticut Taxpayers.  The Connecticut Democrat party lead by  Ned Lamont apparently feels that Connecticut Taxpayers need to be enslaved by them and their financial interests.  The Connecticut Democrat party led by Ned Lamont created a great deal  of economic damage because of their Covid-19 restrictions, decrees and ruthless shutdowns of the states economy.  They decided  it was OK for for those elderly and ill trapped in homes and rehab centers due to their incoherent "health and safety" guidelines to die a slow death from Covid-19.  It is sickening what this state has gone through because of these policies.  The failures of Ned Lamont can not be seen nor spoken about by the state run media as his only concern has been making a buck off Connecticut Taxpayers.  Enough is enough.

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.

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.
