There is no climate emergency, there is no systemic racism in America, and the CCP virus is nowhere near as damaging as the supposed “solutions” (severe lockdowns, forced injection mandates, etc.). California does not need to abandon conventional forms of energy, but they are, just as they are abandoning constitutional freedoms in order to promote Critical Race Theory and control its citizenry against a poorly understood pandemic.

The remedies prescribed for these issues by California Governor Newsom and his allies in the press are extremely damaging and totally unnecessary.

Andy Caldwell heads a non-profit Coalition of Labor, Agriculture, and Business (COLAB) which acts as both a government watchdog and promoter of these sectors in Santa Barbara County, California. His monthly newsletter, COLAB MAGAZINE, is the source of much of this article.

Caldwell has a daily talk radio show, The Andy Caldwell Show, which broadcasts on AM 1440, KUHL, Santa Maria, and AM 1290, Santa Barbara, News-Press Radio. His program covers the entire central coast of California, and we have both been proud to appear as guests on the show. As a strong conservative in a very liberal county, Caldwell came close to winning the district’s seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2020 election. 

In Caldwell’s magazine, he outlines the growing problems of his once wealthy and beautiful state. They used to call it The Golden State, but no more. Its troubles mount daily with a loss of basic sanitation in cities and energy across its land. Yet, its citizens continue to elect a monolithic liberal government led by Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom, regardless of his complete ineptitude to manage a once great economy. On September 14, 2021, Newsom fought off a recall election because the state fears a conservative republican government more than the continued degradation of their once wonderful state.

In one of his newsletters, Caldwell quoted German-American theologian Paul Tilloch who asked, “is it a sign of patriotism or of confidence in one’s people, its institutions and its way of life, to be silent when the foundations are shaking? Is the expression of optimism more important than the expression of truth?”

The state of California is tumbling over three critical issues. 

• First, the human-caused climate change fraud promoting the end of life as we know it if will continue to burn fossil fuels and emit life-giving carbon dioxide, the only reason mankind can inhabit Earth. 
• Second, the Critical Race Theory that is turning citizen against citizen as either oppressed or oppressors.
• Third, the Covid Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus that has disrupted all normal life and many freedoms.

The threat presented by each of these to our social-economic and body politic are being grossly exaggerated for nefarious reasons by the liberal establishment throughout California, a nearly monolithic political state.  

In his Vol 9 Issue 8 newsletter, Caldwell says America is mortally threatened by these issues due to the “death of critical thinking skills, abandoned historical values, our compromised institutions of church and state, and an atrophied spirit of faith and freedom.”

Janet Levy writing in American Thinker, has outlined how the Marxist revolution in America has manipulated the nation’s culture and especially in sinking California. It is pitifully simple and effective on a population that has little critical thinking. 

1- remove principled leadership
2 – encourage the questioning of values and convictions of America
3 – present a revision of history
4 – cloud the distinction between right and wrong
5 – extoll consensus and collectivism while declaring individualism dangerous
6 – focus on emotions over facts
7 – foster anxiety, confusion, and social turbulence
8 – conceal the ultimate agenda
9 – use trusted individuals to enhance credibility if they can be conned
10 – use informants to spy on those who do not comply
11 – reward compliance and punish dissent
12 – win public trust by manufacturing chaos

Canadian rap star Tom MacDonald sums up the strategy well here.

This has been going on in California for decades, and the state has been in a downward spiral ever since. In light of it all, it should be surprising, but, sadly, is not, that Newsom held on to the Governorship in the recall election of September 14. A huge fortune came in from liberal interests all across the country to support his efforts to hang on.

In one of his newsletters prior to the recall, Caldwell outlined the details of the once, but no longer, great state in hopes of bringing more voters to their senses. He asked if citizens remembered:

1 – when the state had ample water supplies
2 – when the state had the best schools
3 – when the state had the most wealth
4 – when the state had the most beautiful parks, beaches, and downtowns
5 – when neighborhoods were generally safe to live in
6 – when the state had the best paying jobs
7 – when the state had affordable housing
8 – when gasoline was affordable
9 – when forest fires were under control
10 – when all businesses were considered essential
11 – when church attendance was promoted, and strip clubs were frowned upon
