In this episode I am going to review the work of Alex Epstein, an energy expert and the author of two fabulous books on fossil fuels – The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels and Fossil Future. Using his exhaustive research and writings, I make the case for more fossil fuel usage. . . NOT less!!!

The truth about "climate change" is it is being used as a vehicle - a means to an end. That being the further centralization of power and control in the hands of the few. Essentially a tool for authoritarians to gather and amass more power and control without saying it out loud.

WARNING: What I share with you in this episode is something that, once you see it, you can never unsee it!

Have you ever watched a nightly newscast from an alphabet soup, conspiracy media outlet and really paid close attention? Have you noticed the one-sided nature of their coverage or how they leave out pertinent facts? What about the loaded language and dog whistles?

In this episode, I pick apart a recent broadcast of the CBS Evening News with Norah O'Donnell pointing out the biases while taking you on a truth quest.

Russian President, Vladimir Putin, recently called the West an “Empire of Lies.” The more I reflected on this claim, the more I realized how true it is.

In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane from Abraham Lincoln to the present day revisiting dozens of flat-out lies, lies by omission as well as gaslighting and propaganda all pushed by our own government and the media that, rather than exposing these lies, often conceives and perpetuates them.

Back in 2010 conservative talk show host Michael Savage published a book titled, “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.” Over the years as I digested, dissected and analyzed the political arena and evaluated the policy prescriptions of the Left, I often remembered the title of his book and reflected that Savage might have been on to something.

In this episode, we examine several public policy prescriptions while asking the question, "what else besides politically-induced mental illness explains why people support and endorse these policies?"

We discuss: abortion, gender, energy, the environment, fiat currency, guns, law enforcement, the welfare state, immigration and much more.

If ever a topic was ripe for The Truth Quest Podcast, it is the Paris Climate Accord. What makes it so perfect is the amount of virtue-signaling that it evokes which results in people breathlessly applauding its birth, raging over its death and celebrating its resurrection! All this joy and angst while basking in ignorance by ignoring the most important part of the story. . . the actual agreement and its consequences.

Have you seen the latest virtue-signaling craze? The yard sign that reads: “In this house, we believe: Black Lives Matter; No Human is Illegal; Love is Love; Women’s Rights Are Human Rights; Science is Real; Water is Life; Injustice Anywhere Is a Threat to Justice Everywhere."

In this episode we unpack this type of semantically overloaded political sloganeering and ask quite a few relevant questions.

Going forward, I hope that you consume the news with this information in mind. Identify the schemes deployed by these folks for what they are and understand their motivations.

Do you know how you can tell it's Fall, bordering on Winter? California is on fire! This annual event seems to fall on the heels of Oktoberfest and, we are being led to believe, that the problem is getting worse! Why? Well, of course, the sole reason for this repetitive event is . . . . climate change!

In this episode, we examine the validity of that claim and try to arrive at the truth about the California wildfires.

I don't know about you but sometimes I get tired of discussing all the areas where we disagree politically or on public policy issues. In this episode I attempt to focus on things that most of us agree on such as government spending, right-to-try laws, the surveillance state, sound money, war, tort reform, term limits, the War on Drugs and the War on Poverty.

Does it not make sense to first focus on the few things in which we agree and then circle back to the numerous head-butting issues that divide us?

It bothers me immensely when politicians and talking heads propose intellectually lazy and dishonest policies that they know will do more harm than good. Then your friends, family and the faceless, and often nameless, folks on social media jump on the bandwagon. Their prescriptions are not based on principles (or so I thought) rather, they appear to be based on party (or group think).

I am no longer willing to cut these folks any slack because they can easily spend a few minutes on an Internet search and read multiple sides of any argument or policy. They can easily spend a few minutes trying to determine what the truth is.

Why then does this phenomenon exist? Why do those who subscribe to this form of public policy advocacy resort to low-ball tactics when it comes to the treatment of their ideological foes? You know: name-calling, violence, vilification, shutting down the speech of dissenters, mocking, de-platforming, boycotting, and censorship!

After much reflection and study, I believe these people are, indeed, principle-driven. That principle is winning - - - winning at all costs. Nothing else explains this behavior.

In this episode we examine the historical record of the national Democratic Party and then fast-forward to present day and uncover the real motivations behind their radical agenda.

Why do they take such hard line positions on policies like abortion, illegal immigration, welfare, gay marriage, socialized medicine, guns control, climate change, minimum wage and higher taxes? Why do they advocate for socialism? None of these policies have the support of the majority of Americans yet they are all a prominent fixture in the platform that the national Democratic Party.

This episode will tackle the issue of climate change or global cooling or global warming (depending on what decade in which the issue is being pushed). Specifically we are going to review this topic from the perspective of the propaganda, lies, and deception that surround the topic.

The list is long but I tackle five instances:

1. The Hockey Stick Temperature Chart.
2. The claim that 97% of climate scientists are in agreement.
3. The University of East Anglia scandal.
4. Al Gore's movie, The Inconvenient Truth
5. The ridiculous claim that "the debate is settled" and "there is consensus".

The bottom line is, with such a prolific history of data manipulation, lies, and propaganda, why is there a lack of healthy skeptism around the claims made by climate change alarmist?

Show Notes:

• Canadian statisticians, Steven McIntyre and Ross McKitrick (hockey stick)
• PragerU - 97% Claim
• Debunking the 97% Claim
• FriendsofScience.com - 97% Claim
• The Moral Case for Fossil Fuel - Alex Epstein
