From Frontieras North America:

Over a century ago, John D. Rockefeller transformed oil into one of the world’s most valuable industries. Now, thousands of investors believe something similar could be happening with coal.

Frontieras North America has developed patented technology that refines coal into fuels and materials like diesel, jet fuel, hydrogen, and fertilizer, serving markets worth $2.1 Trillion globally.

With a Nasdaq ticker (FASF) reserved and land secured in West Virginia for its $850M flagship facility, Frontieras is inviting investors to participate while the company remains private. Shares are currently $7.77 until April 9.

It’s true that John D. Rockefeller became one of the wealthiest people in world history via the petroleum boom a century ago.

Now, if it’s true that “thousands of investors believe something similar could be happening with coal,” they’re some extremely stupid people.

Fossil fuels did humankind a great service in the 20th Century, but now, a few things have changed, chiefly: a) our recognition that their consumption is rapidly destroying our planet’s environment, and b) the development of inexpensive low-carbon sources of energy.

Of all the fossil fuels, coal is unarguably the worst, with its high greenhouse gas emissions, its heavy metals (mercury, cadmium, selenium, lead, and arsenic), and its vast array of toxic radioactive isotopes.

If you want to lose a fortune and put the demise of the planet on steroids, this may be for you.

Yes, the call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger could have been the end.

But what about his attempted overthrow of the U.S. federal government on January 6th? His 34 felony convictions? His adjudication as a rapist? His profiting billions of dollars from his office? His accepting bribes for pardoning his wealthy donors convicted of fraud or those who beat cops at the U.S. Capitol?

Most failed democracies didn’t have dozens of different opportunities to prevent their demise.

We have no one to blame but ourselves.

It’s weird that no one talks about this anymore (did we talk about it at all?), but how likely is it that the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in which he was supposedly hit in the ear by a round from an AR-15 didn’t leave a scar? Not even a scratch?

Why can’t some teenage cub reporter follow this down and show that the likelihood of this actually happening is like rolling a six on a die 1000 times in a row?

Fascism Has Come to America–Or Has It?

According to Trump’s head of Homeland Security, we, the American people, have two choices: stay silent against ICE agents’ grossly illegal and sometimes lethal violence against innocent people, or face “more bloodshed.”

This is what fascism looks like.

Yet, too many Americans are children or grandchildren of our brave ancestors who risked (or gave) their lives to defeat Hitler. I’m betting against Trump and the despicable people he’s nominated to top positions in his administration.
