World Wildlife Federation Paid $70,000 to Activists who Set Fire to Amazon Forest
Remember those Amazon Forest Fires that dominated the news until Hurricane Dorian broke the second seal of the apocalypse? It turns out that “man” was responsible for at least a few of those fires after all. Well, the four men who set the fire.
Now That Dorian is Only CAT 3 are We Talking About the Burning Amazon Again?
The media crisis narrative is on a climate swivel. For days all we heard about were cataclysmic fires in the Amazon that were nothing special. When Dorian showed up the Amazon “problem” disappeared. I’m serious. The best search results were several days old.

Are San Francisco Liberals Creating Problems Where They Don’t Exist?
Do you have a right to commerce? If you did, what would that mean? You must sell this or that? You must buy this or that? You need to accept credit cards or checks? How about, you need to take cash?

San Francisco – Hey, Let’s Ban Amazon’s Cashless Retail Stores Because of How Unfair they Are

HQ2 – Amazon Ditches New York Because of Ocasio-Cortez and ‘Never Amazon’
The contradictions of Socialism live and breathe in the youthful-energetic person of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Her utopian future requires lots of other people’s money. At the same time, she’s ensuring that there isn’t any money to take. That’s socialism. And we’ve got a recent example. Ocasio-COrtz’ ‘Never Amazon’ campaign.
What You Didn’t Know About National Defense, Obama, and Amazon.com
Maybe you know this; perhaps you do not. But before Mr. Obama retired from the Oval Office, he had a deal cooking to give Amazon.com a sole-source one-vendor contract to manage and control the entire US Defense Department Cloud. One ring to rule them all.
No redundancy. No backups. Just Amazon. Arranged by a guy named Deap Ubhi, hired by Obama, and planted in a serpentine new department of techs doing progressive techie things from their techie swamp, for their former employers. Ubhi spun the Amazon deal. Ubhi’s last job was Amazon Web Services, the Cloud Storage arm.
Seattle Passes ‘Head-Count’ Tax On Job Creators
Back in March Skip reported on a discussion underway in the city that never stops taxing, Seattle. The city council debate over a new tax based on how many people a company employs. At the time the issue was not so much if but how. The “how” has been decided and their latest act of plunder approved.
The result is the so-called head tax on Seattle businesses that gross at least $20 million annually. According to The Seattle Times, 585 businesses in the city will be subject to the tax. Not surprisingly, the tech giant Amazon is expected to pay the most under the tax. The initial proposal was for a $500 tax per employee, which, in Amazon’s case, would have meant an added $20 million in labor costs. Thanks to a veto threat from the mayor, the council reduced its tax grab to $275 per employee.
