GOVERNORS’ ENERGY CHOICE COMPACT
This story was spotted and shared by W.G., with our profound gratitude, because it highlights a prediction I've been making for some time, and seems to indicate that the prediction may be coming true. Briefly, my prediction is that with the continuing and unabated federal overreach, not to mention the new weaponization of the Department of (In)Justice against political opponents in "lawfare", I've been predicting that states would push back. Indeed, I've been arguing that the moves in several states to remove sales tax from bullion, to open state bullion depositories, and so on, was but an initial reaction. This would be followed, I have said, by several states then forming regional compacts between several states for certain specified and limited objectives.
Well, according to the following article that W.G. shared, this has in fact just happened, and interestingly enough, it has happened with respect to "energy choice":
GOP governors form ‘energy choice’ group
Ten Republican governors have joined together this week to form a group they say will promote “energy choice” policies at the state level.
Members of the coalition are Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon.
The organization — the Governors Coalition for Energy Choice — said in a statement that it aims to “ensure continued energy choice, minimize permitting and other regulatory barriers, limit expensive energy mandates, focus on affordability and reliability of energy infrastructure, and coordinate to positively manage energy resources and the environment.”
I strongly suspect, however, that this rather informal and ad hoc "compact" is just the beginning, though an important one.
What it presages I think is something much more important: a growing willingness to coordinate action and policy at a state level. We've all seen a certain political party - I'm going to take Dr. Steve Turley's suggestion here and call it the Nirvana party, because it believes in, and stands for, Nothing - attempt to tie up its opposition in lawfare and rules and procedures. My warning has always been that be careful of what games you start to play, because two can play it, and I strongly suspect one can expect to see coordinated lawfare from the opposition originating from the states, particularly if the Nirvana Party continues to hold power this November.
With lawfare pushback, nothing will get done, and the Swamp will slip even further into vast irrelevancy and incompetence. More compacts will follow, and they will be of a more formal and binding nature, and reach out to embrace a much wider range of policy.
And there is one final, and very important, indeed, crucial thing to note about this compact regarding energy choice. As I've said before, all systems of energy are systems of physics and of finance. A system of "energy choice" implies a system of financial choice. So underlying this energy compact is something deeper, and that is a basic assumption about economies and finances. Not for nothing are many of the states listed as members of this energy choice compact also states that have passed, or are considering, state bullion depositories, or that have passed or are considering passing the end of sales tax on bullion, and thus opening the door to its remonetization. There's nothing new nor sinister here, for this country functioned with such a system before. It did so without a central bank, but only with state banks.
Needless to say, that was a chaotic system. So with these points in mind, one may advance to my next prediction: one may expect, as state governors and legislatures try to steer between the Scylla of 19th century state banking and currency chaos, and the Charybdis of central bank monopoly, more regional compacts between states dealing directly with bills of exchange and deposit, compacts that will by-pass the Swamp and the institutions of "its democracy" very clearly.
See you on the flip side...

The shaman journey – to the end of the world – is breaking the 7th seal:
Shamanism is so ancient, that it predates any spoken tongue, that the ego utters, and man’s ego has to die, for the spirit to rise.
This is, what happens, in the very moment, when Black Elk is defining his Six Grandfathers, while standing, in the centre of the compass.
It is the art of igniting the soul, in the dark night of the soul, when all hope is depleted, and self-sacrifice is required, as last resort.
World’s end is a journey, to the nether world, to rise again, which defines Odin.
SHAMAN PUTIN
Abram headed out into wilderness,
as he leapt into nothingness,
and, in fire at midnight,
rose chaos pilot,
with exploding sun, as mistress.
SHAMAN VERCINGETORIX
I rose sky-high, and trod amongst stars,
as I had come out of heaven, to stand still,
I was the mountain, in the middle of wars,
I was the will, with no will, against will.
I stood, against cold come of winter freezing,
while defying death, in shadow of nothingness,
and, when wrongdoers broke oak spelling,
the loss of forest made man’s child heartless.
Oh, what are we to do with those nasty people “fighting clean energy” as “The Hill” headline says!
As central power vies for more power;
states counter, with their own measures for more power.
What if Fusion Reactors were a scam from the beginning and the way forward was Plasma ala the Thunderbolts Project and maybe Thorium Reactors just who were and are the masterminds behind this con job?
China says it has enough Thorium to supply the energy needs of the PRC for the next 20,000 years and will have Thorium fueled power plants in the Gobi Dessert with 2 Megawatt prototype operations scheduled to start in 2025 and a 60 Megawatt commercial plant in 2029.
The Zero carbon emissions of Thorium Reactors are nice too. However while I know CO2 is not the driver for global warming, I understand that Thorium Reactors lack the meltdown potential that uranium only reactors face. Has anyone challenged the “Governors Coalition for Energy Choice ” with the idea of aping China’s lead in the quest for clean energy sources ?
all true about thorium, the challenge with it is its energy cycle. the thorium, as it upgrades into fissile uranium and then decays out to smaller elements, gets less and less efficient. so efforts center on a second cycle of repurifying the fuel and then submitting it to another run up. Europeans have done some solid work on that issue, but it remains to be seen if their work is enough.
if China. whom certainly has the money, brains. initiative, and “regulatory clarity” to make rapid gains,has solved this problem, it is absolutely a game change.
“States Rights” as a concept got a bad name in the 50s and 60s thanks to assholes like Faubus and Wallace,
but the concept is not only valid, it is crucial. The governors in the various states are the final leaders and are elected directly by their people, so that the states are the REAL power in the United States – not the federal government.
During the Civil Rights movement the states were in the wrong (at least, the racist states were wrong)… today, they have a morally strong argument and we have to support these regional movements to win back the power we have given up to crooked administrations in the past – of BOTH PARTIES and yeah I’m talking about Reagan and Clinton and ALL the Bushes
As troubled as he was, Kennedy was the last REAL president we had… Carter was not an evil man but his brother was a crook and he let the Rockefellers run his administration for him, the PUTZ
The question is: what kind of leadership model does people want, when browsing, through the millennia timeline, for a precedent?
The answer, to that riddle, is – of course – John Doe, who is nobody and everybody, and just an average Joe, amongst grassroots.
An update on the Runic project:
1. Britons fear Saxons, because of Odin, who is, and always was, a John Doe, who, in turn, is Elijah’s grassroots leadership.
2. Samuel’s nincompoop dynasty survived, through the female leg – as idolatry – in a doll’s house of peerage, pedigree and privileges, in Britain.
3. It means, that the conflict, between Britons and Saxons, goes back, to an unresolved dispute, between Samuel and Elijah.
4. It means, that the primary objective of the gospel hero was, to permanently resolve the court case of Elijah vs. Samuel.
5. The gospel hero’s endorsement of raven-Elijah, who is raven-Odin, does tip the scales, in favour of Saxon position.
6. It means, that Scandinavian claim, to the British throne, is confirmed, by the gospel hero himself, who was a John Doe.
7. The principle of upward mobility, endorsed by nonconformists – against an Act of Uniformity – is embodied in Odin, who is a John Doe.
8. Scythian Crimea, as headquarters of Elijah’s horse archers, is Asgard, from where the Assyrian empire was defeated.
9. Today, British peerage, pedigree and privileges are foaming at mouth, against the Russo-Scythian curse: Elijah’s horse archers.
Robin Hood is Green Man mushrooming, in the woods.

Harry Potter is, of course, extrapolating Scandinavian claim to the British throne, because Vatican Voldemort is a venomous viper, as the dark lord of imperial clandestine slithering, and quackcine snakebite.

BTW, the ideal leadership is someone, who is able, to step up, when needed, and step down, when not needed – which is not possible, when autism clings on to power, like a Swampington Gollum.
In that sense, John Doe is defined, as nobody and everybody, a mere Hobbit, which is the type of grassroots leadership model, that raven-Elijah would – predictably – have concocted, while mulling the [wine] brook.
