Getting the truth out is important. This story has gotten more than 33,000 visits so far (yes, it was picked up by Citizen Free Press). I posted the same story on Facebook. I have 1500 followers. As of last check, the story has gotten two "likes." I don't think Facebook let 99 percent of my friends actually see or read this story. If you read the story, you'll see why. That's another thing. Facebook has algorithms and Artificial Intelligence that can and do read every story. Facebook fears the truth ... and so the company bans stories it fears or doesn't like. Or stories it knows the government won't like.
I know. I sometimes check my "number of reads." It went from 900 to 7,000 in about 10 minutes! It's now over 16,000. Mr. Kane has been very good to me.
Good... Maybe all the "environmentalists" will show up too!! You mean the "environmentalists" funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, that have been used to block renewable energy for over 120 years?

The simplest “Eureka! Moments” can produce the columns that resonate with the most people.
I’ve been writing for years about how if some entities can “control the narrative,” these organizations can “control the world.” But that maxim was probably too esoteric. What are these narratives of which I write? Well, there’s hundreds of them but they all share a common core - fear. We are being told: THIS is what we should all fear.
But that doesn’t even go far enough. What is the “policy” response to said fears? Answer: Let’s ban some more things (and some more activities).
Like the gas stove … or cheaper light bulbs that actually put out light … or true speech.
I could (and have) gone even further. The response to the policies is “work-arounds galore.” Those are the things and activities we all HAVE to do to try to get around the latest policies.
A while back, I wrote a piece identifying scores of “inflation work-arounds,” but the Climate Change work-around list would be just as long.
LED bulbs *can* be manufactured to last a very long time, but they aren't, because of the _Man In The White Suit_ phenomenon -- they're more profitable if they burn out often.
www.VirusTruth.NET im putting mini flyers on cars called LuckyDay until they ban paper and mano to mano info. join me. im calling the places that ban Cash and have surveilance and calling them out on it and boycotting. Not interested in being treated like a criminal to see a concert
I was an interior designer for 30 plus years....do NOT get me going on these light bulbs!! Never mind that no one disposes of them accordingly, they do not last anywhere as long as advertised (my husband has started writing the date on them) , they are not affordable and from my point of view, the lighting sucks!! And when you have put together a lovely cozy room for a client and it looks like an operating room .....”I can’t even”...why are people so cooperative? And Bill by the way, it’s not “natural gas” anymore, it’s “fossil gas.” 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I can’t stand the operating room look either, and despite LEDs being more energy efficient the don’t come close to the advertised lifespan. You need to try a lower temperature rating. All bulbs/ lamps have a “k” (kelvin) rating which determines the color of the light output. Incandescents range between 2300k-2800k. The OR look is caused by using (most likely) 5000k bulbs. Typical household LED bulb ratings are 2800k, 3200k,4000k,5000k. Low k rating = “warmer” light
Thanks! I ve fount the “warm” bulbs.. my real complaint is the cost… simply not affordable for many. Ceiling high hats average $9 a bulb…. The original argument for these new bulbs was not legit… no surprise
When they first started banning the old bulbs, I started stockpiling the old ones - especially the 100-watts. I wish I would have stockpiled a lot more. I could sell them at a nice mark-up and make some extra spending cash ... plus have some lights that would let me actually see what's going on in my study. Sigh.
And don't get me started on my new pendant lights...took 4 trips and the purchase of 18 lightbulbs until I found the old incandescents that didn't blind me or make my brain scream with the flickering....
That’s interesting, this cheapskate resisted for the same reason until a few years ago. Once I started to find the prices to be essentially the same, it seemed to be a no-brainer to convert. I’m sure the more expensive ones are the better 🇺🇸 made ones, most of mine are from China-thus the shorter life due to poor mfg., quality control etc.
I saw a video on YT about LED bulbs from one of the Arab countries where they were specially commissioned by a high ranking official who had enough money to make it happen. These bulbs contained several times as many LED elements within them, so they could run at lower temperatures to provide the same light. The electronic surgery necessary to accomplish this is trivial for a manufacturer, challenging for the average consumer.
The LED bulbs available in most countries are intentionally manufactured to fail soon, so replacements will have to be purchased. It's not a failure of LED technology, it's one more example of capitalists screwing the consumer.
Thank you, my suspicion from Day One... it pisses me off. There are many people in this country who struggle to pay rent, pay their utilities, cover basic needs... no one should have to pay these $$ light bulbs that do not last for eternity as advertised. And like Bill, I hoarded a huge stash of the contraband ones... Target had them on clearance, I cleared them out!
Incandescent bulbs are space heaters that happen to emit light. From that point of view they are wasteful of energy, which, unless you're on solar, wind, or hydro electricity, is inherently polluting.
That said, they are also one of the sources of Near InfraRed light that we used to have in our environments, along with regular-glass windows and walks outside on shady streets. NIR stimulates the production of mitochondrial melatonin, which is a significant contributor to the strength of the immune system. It *may* be that NIR is needed by the body to properly use vitamin D, whether produced by the sun or absorbed from the diet.
I was in Sweden for the winter of 2008-9. In November I began to notice I was sleeping about ten hours a day. I borrowed a blue-light box from someone and ran it one evening. Though I had been advised that running it more than about 20 minutes would make it hard for me to sleep, I ran it a lot longer than that, and it seemed that my brain started having more thoughts. I bought one for myself and used it quite a bit while I was there. When I left, I left the light box with my landlady, who had told me she always got depressed in the winter.
It became clear that in Sweden, you couldn't get daylight-colored bulbs, because they like the warm colored lights, even though they'd probably benefit from the blue end of the spectrum. A fellow who managed a lighting store said if he stocked them, they wouldn't sell. Also that apparently the full-spectrum bulbs were popular in Greece. Where it would seem they don't need them anywhere near as much.
Back when LED light bulbs were first available, I got some which actually did last a long time. Then the prices started going down, probably due to economies of scale, and the longevity stared getting worse and worse, so now they don't last any longer than the old incandescents, which fail because they eventually develop gaps due to heating and cooling and lose the non-oxygen gas they are filled with to prevent the filament from burning. So with incandescents, the failure is a (mostly) unavoidable consequence of the technology, but with LEDs, it's intentional (assuming the mfrs aren't *incredibly* stupid).
That's true of CFL bulbs, not of LED's, unless there's something I missed. CFLs contain a small amount of mercury (enough to be worth avoiding), LED's are pretty non-toxic, though I wouldn't propose to eat one.
They have to create new markets to keep the elite rich. Im holding on to my land line telephone until they disconnect it. I refuse the cell phonesmart surveilance phone.
when power goes out the old fashioned landline still works! Im sorry to admit I bought into this climate scam. I still have some old lightbulbs. and I wont buy the cold light led have to buy the warmest version possible. then they converted all our street lights to LED hasnt cut our taxes at all. if it was about climate they would be taking out street lights not adding surveilance cameras on them, and regarding viruses- the biggest scam directly harming humans with vaccines www.VirusTruth.NET just too many people for their comfort
Man, I can't keep up with my own writing! I have had many of the same ideas and Bill seems to be able to organize these themes into a clear narrative.
I lay awake sometimes thinking about all-digital programmable currency and the death of cash because it's the endgame for taking away freedom. If cash is programmable, people can be restricted to only buying food or clothing, but not a new car (that runs on gas!) or a handgun. Your basic economic freedom will be eliminated under the guise of helping irresponsible people manage their finances better. The drug dealers and such will find a way around it, of course. The influence of the cartels behind the scenes worldwide must be comprehensive, they have hundreds of billions to throw around at this point.
The other seamy aspect of digital currency is the ability to inflate at will and not suffer the consequences. Right now, pocket change is worthless. $1 bills, practically worthless. The $50 is the new $20 as I like to say. Those are in-your-face, undeniable matters of concern to the general public that can be hidden from view in an all-digital world without cash.
What the elite/plutocrats/Skynet/whatever the hell it is fear the most is mob justice. The Peasants' Revolt of 1381 scared the hell out of the monarchs.
Exactly. Those fake terrorists, staged wars for oil, and running dope in Afghanistan. R.I.P. The CIA no longer has a job... They're being renamed to the Central Ignoramus Agency.
No need for slaves anymore... You're electric lawn mower can mow the lawn all by itself. Nikola Tesla reported in 1896, that Niagara Falls would displace 3000 1MW Thomas Edison's Coal Generators, and at 5GW, would displace the need for 50 Million Slaves. The wholesale cost of that energy from Niagara Falls, given it was paid off in 1904... 2.67 cents per Kw/hr or 40 cents an electric gallon. Still 10X cheaper than gas. Lets not talk about China. They charge their 400,000 electric busses over night with their hydroelectric power at a cost of ... $0.00. Unless you want to add in the "maintenance" cost of .5c Kw/hr, still about 8 cents a gallon. 50X cheaper than gas.

I strongly recommend you do not consider crossing the porous border in a north-to-south manner. Mexico has zero tolerance of illegal aliens. The penalties are quite severe. Instead of being issued welfare cards, insurance cards, driver licenses, and cellphones, while being flown to cities of great opportunity, in Mexico an illegal alien is fined $250-$30,000 and jailed for 6 months to 2 years. Mexican jails are not fun, btw. “Jesus loves you” means something entirely different there.
I have a suggestion. 1 ounce silver coins cost about $27. Get some and carry a few around in your pocket for spending cash. If the cashier won't take them ask for the manager and negotiate. Let's all get in the habit of using gold and silver coins. No laws against that, yet.
Not only are they banning. but their suggested or required substitutes are not economical, not durable, not American products or resources, and worst of all, often unhealthy - for the planet AND the life that inhabits it, including mankind.
Breathing is next. Oh, wait! They already did that with COVID-19 mandates!

Dear Chief Justice of Nuremburg,
I wrote an article about Australia's Novavax contracts which demonstrates how the government (with the aid of the military) threw us all under the bus. https://vicparkpetition.substack.com/p/australias-novavax-contract
Please add to the evidence for when it comes time to do the needful. Thanking you in advance.
Sincerely,

Besides all that, those light bulbs are great.
Oh, I forgot ...if one breaks, best to put on your Hazmat suit to clean it up.....
That too!
That's true of CFL bulbs, not of LED's, unless there's something I missed. CFLs contain a small amount of mercury (enough to be worth avoiding), LED's are pretty non-toxic, though I wouldn't propose to eat one.
Bottom line for me is that the lighting is just not “pleasant.” But again, this comes from a pain in the neck designer!!
Nope, just from what you wrote you are a FABULOUS designer. Those light bulbs are perfectly awful. A way to ruin beauty.
Gas and oil is not from Dino bones. That is a lie to jump the price.

They have to create new markets to keep the elite rich. Im holding on to my land line telephone until they disconnect it. I refuse the cell phonesmart surveilance phone.
when power goes out the old fashioned landline still works! Im sorry to admit I bought into this climate scam. I still have some old lightbulbs. and I wont buy the cold light led have to buy the warmest version possible. then they converted all our street lights to LED hasnt cut our taxes at all. if it was about climate they would be taking out street lights not adding surveilance cameras on them, and regarding viruses- the biggest scam directly harming humans with vaccines www.VirusTruth.NET just too many people for their comfort
Hahaha, and my kids have no idea why we have so many "old-type" light bulbs! I guess next they'll ban the products those bulbs 💡 screw into!
YES!!!ME TOO I STAGE HOMES ! THESE LIGHT BULBS ARE HIDEOUS. Thank you. Everyone thinks I am a hysterical old lady.
critical thinking, debate, tolerance, respect for others
Next thing to be banned: Beef. Because cow farts cause Climate Change.
Climate Chains
Niiiice.
Man, I can't keep up with my own writing! I have had many of the same ideas and Bill seems to be able to organize these themes into a clear narrative.
I lay awake sometimes thinking about all-digital programmable currency and the death of cash because it's the endgame for taking away freedom. If cash is programmable, people can be restricted to only buying food or clothing, but not a new car (that runs on gas!) or a handgun. Your basic economic freedom will be eliminated under the guise of helping irresponsible people manage their finances better. The drug dealers and such will find a way around it, of course. The influence of the cartels behind the scenes worldwide must be comprehensive, they have hundreds of billions to throw around at this point.
The other seamy aspect of digital currency is the ability to inflate at will and not suffer the consequences. Right now, pocket change is worthless. $1 bills, practically worthless. The $50 is the new $20 as I like to say. Those are in-your-face, undeniable matters of concern to the general public that can be hidden from view in an all-digital world without cash.
What the elite/plutocrats/Skynet/whatever the hell it is fear the most is mob justice. The Peasants' Revolt of 1381 scared the hell out of the monarchs.

Exactly. Those fake terrorists, staged wars for oil, and running dope in Afghanistan. R.I.P. The CIA no longer has a job... They're being renamed to the Central Ignoramus Agency.

Good one. Thanks.
Gov Whitmer told us not to mow our own lawns, but we could hire a neighbor.
No need for slaves anymore... You're electric lawn mower can mow the lawn all by itself. Nikola Tesla reported in 1896, that Niagara Falls would displace 3000 1MW Thomas Edison's Coal Generators, and at 5GW, would displace the need for 50 Million Slaves. The wholesale cost of that energy from Niagara Falls, given it was paid off in 1904... 2.67 cents per Kw/hr or 40 cents an electric gallon. Still 10X cheaper than gas. Lets not talk about China. They charge their 400,000 electric busses over night with their hydroelectric power at a cost of ... $0.00. Unless you want to add in the "maintenance" cost of .5c Kw/hr, still about 8 cents a gallon. 50X cheaper than gas.
Environmentalists do not like Hydro power. You can see the dams in Oregon being removed. The same thing is happening in other locations.
Good... Maybe all the "environmentalists" will show up too!! You mean the "environmentalists" funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, that have been used to block renewable energy for over 120 years? Using the "Scenic Acts" etal of 1903? And "Flying Turtles"?? https://nurembergtrials.net/nuremberg-trials-2-0/f/environmentalist-green-party-scam-ft-chevron-flying-turtles Or the "Taliban", that is bombing Hydroelectric plants for the last 50 years? https://nurembergtrials.net/nuremberg-trials-2-0/f/blackwaters-heroin-in-vaccines-ft-taliban-hoax-ft-chief-justice Or do you mean Trump, The Federal Reserve, the IMF, and Tedros the Terrorist that sabotage the Grand Renaissance Dam in Ethiopia? https://nurembergtrials.net/nuremberg-trials-2-0/f/who-tedros-is-a-terrorist-who-runs-the-sabotage-the-ethiopian-dam Or was it just Alex Jones and The Bundy's that went to Nevada and Oregon to block a giant solar grid by ENN energy and Wind in the high desert of Oregon; just to "save 4 cattle" and some extinct shrubs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y84OO4-ZsPA Or was it the "Indian Spirits" used to block Niagara Falls? And "Indian Tools"; aka "A box of rocks" to block renewables just about anywhere? Have you seen the movie Poltergeist?? Or was it the "Butterflies" that Obama used to block the Wind Projects in the Wind Cooredore? Or was it the "Coral Reefs" Obama used to block all the Geothermal plants around Hawaii? Or was it Greenpeace etal that block Nuclear Power, but you never see them blocking a gas station?? Or was it their "Actors from Hollywood" they used to take over the Diablo Nuclear Power Plant? Or, maybe your thinking it was the Dinosaur Hoax, they used to block all hydroelectric power along the Colorado River. Or, maybe your thinking it's The Loch Ness Monster used to block a Monster Dam in the Land Locked Lake? There's so many... Did I forget the Aliens? No!! How about the scientist that found the "Alien Bacteria" they want to protect to block Geothermal power at Yosemite? That could power the U.S. 327X over! Or was it the "Friends of the Grand Canyon", used to block a giant dam at the Grand Canyon, since 1893, using the Lewis and Clark expedition?? Whew... I think I can write a good 1000 "environmentalists" right here! May 1st 2023 Surprise, surprise! Two Teslas become first vehicles climate activists blocked in anti-fossil fuel protest https://www.teslarati.com/two-tesla-blocked-climate-change-activists-anti-fossil-fuel-protest/ Or maybe your thinking "Biden" is the "environmentalist" who's family used to own a chevy dealership selling used cars, and snubs Tesla? https://www.bitchute.com/video/PKkmAFZFyE0V/ August 28th 2021 Biden snubs Tesla, bans "forever" solar panels, and now blocks Nuclear Power from Cop26.

Quite honestly, they don't even like themselves!
I strongly recommend you do not consider crossing the porous border in a north-to-south manner. Mexico has zero tolerance of illegal aliens. The penalties are quite severe. Instead of being issued welfare cards, insurance cards, driver licenses, and cellphones, while being flown to cities of great opportunity, in Mexico an illegal alien is fined $250-$30,000 and jailed for 6 months to 2 years. Mexican jails are not fun, btw. “Jesus loves you” means something entirely different there.
I have a suggestion. 1 ounce silver coins cost about $27. Get some and carry a few around in your pocket for spending cash. If the cashier won't take them ask for the manager and negotiate. Let's all get in the habit of using gold and silver coins. No laws against that, yet.
Plastic straws...
As tom macdonald sings..."instead of plastic straws wrapped in paper, you now have paper straws wrapped in plastic...Congratulations."
White men
A "like" ... from one white man.
Not only are they banning. but their suggested or required substitutes are not economical, not durable, not American products or resources, and worst of all, often unhealthy - for the planet AND the life that inhabits it, including mankind.
