The Hidden Link Between EV, Tariffs, Wind Energy, Greenland, Venezuela, and Oil Imperialism

The debate around electric vehicles, windmills, Greenland, Venezuela, oil, and tariffs often appears fragmented, as if each issue exists in its own policy silo. That illusion serves power well. When examined together, these issues reveal a coherent and troubling strategy rooted in protecting entrenched corporate interests—particularly fossil fuels—through coercion, misinformation, and state intervention. The common thread between EVs, … Tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles offer the first clue. Classical capitalism argues for efficiency: if another country produces a superior product at lower cost, markets should reward that efficiency. Instead, punitive tariffs block affordable EVs while U.S. automakers scale back production. This is not market correction; it is market distortion. The private sector failed to invest aggressively in EVs when it had the chance, and now the state shields that failure rather than confronting it. That choice delays climate progress and leaves working families paying more for fewer options. The same logic explains the hostility toward wind energy. Offshore wind projects—many led by Danish firms like Ørsted—represent large-scale threats to oil’s dominance. Claims that turbines threaten national security collapse under basic physics and radar science. Modern militaries already distinguish complex signal environments. What truly alarms fossil interests is that wind power reduces dependence on oil, shrinking profits and geopolitical leverage. Tha

Middle Class Power: The Truth About Who Really Builds America

“The survey results do suggest that progressives may gain more traction with voters in key swing states if they work harder to find and center policies that speak both to voters’ anger at elite misconduct and their desperate need for economic relief, while also recognizing that many of the same voters have genuine economic concerns around the role of government and inflation.”

Reeves's budget is a shift towards social democracy, but sustainable growth is uncertain. Labour needs to secure public patience for a path full of bold moves, steadying hands, & maybe… a few mistakes. Can they? #BudgetAnalysis #FutureofLabour #PublicTrust #Budget2024 #Labour https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/nov/01/reeves-budget-labour-revolution-public-trust

When President Ronald Reagan took office in 1981, the marginal tax rate for the highest income bracket was 70 percent, but that fell to just 28 percent by the time he left office. Middle-out policies, which combat inequality and strengthen the middle class through a progressive economic agenda, have the promise to bring about a new era of shared prosperity in our nation. #ProgressiveEconomics #Inequality #WealthGap https://www.americanprogress.org/article/trickle-down-economics-and-broken-promises/
