1. Can you weigh in on the problems the United States is experiencing with regard to offshore mining?
Answer: There is a push to aggregate rare earths at the current time, and there is a feeling that, if they are not mined aggressively, they may fall into the wrong hands.
2. Can you be more specific with regard to the threats we are facing?
Answer: There has already been a fair degree of deep-sea mining of which the United States is aware.
There is a feeling that, if our coasts are not adequately defended in the future, other interests could aggregate our rare earth metals, rendering them unavailable for our own use.
3. So, either way, you are saying that the coasts will likely suffer extensive environmental damage.
Answer: This is the greatest likelihood with our current approach, unfortunately.
The best alternative would involve preserving our oceans as national parks or, in deeper waters, international parks. Environmentally, this would serve as a safeguard against destructive mining operations and allow us to place certain protections of the ocean within the ocean landscape.
4. What could those protections consist of?
Answer: Sonic safeguarding would represent an effective approach, but this would need to be implemented early, and with cooperative planning.
If we get into a contest to see who can despoil the earth of its resources the fastest, then we've entered into a losing paradigm. No one wins when the environment is ruined through rapacious mining.
5. You sound as if you feel the United States may suffer significant territorial losses at the coasts.
Answer: I think that's accurate, yes. There are those who believe that we may experience various environmental crises that would force evacuation of coastal areas, and, following that, that we may not be free to re-occupy those regions.
6. So, these areas may be viewed as uninhabitable?
Answer: Yes.
7. But in truth, there would be coastal mining and other fairly radical environmental changes to the landscape?
Answer: Yes, that's correct. And coastal mining that was not being conducted by the United States.
8. What are the ramifications for the health of the oceans?
Answer: I think they're highly significant. I think we could expect to see a substantive decline in coastal marine habitat, perhaps to irreversible degree.
9. You have said previously that there is an FBI allegation of evacuating Northern California on the basis of some manmade or "natural" disaster.
Answer: Yes, the agency appears to have extended repeated threats about this issue.
10. Is the FBI planning to claim a terrorist event connected to the war in Iran?
Answer: Apparently, this is front and center for the FBI, yes.
11. Is the Trump administration actively involved in this potential scenario?
Answer: You are asking an important question, and I hope that history asks it rigorously as well.
12. What is the responsibility of this administration to address the climate crisis with the public honestly?
Answer: There has been no indication that the severity of our climate crisis is going to be openly addressed at this time. What is the responsibility to do so? Well, I think it's a moral imperative.
It's extremely difficult for societies to re-align with the truth once the government starts to lie about the most major factors driving certain decision-making. It's not impossible, but there are many entrenched interests that support ongoing disinformation.
The public is not seen as capable of comprehending the truth, and the government ceases trying to extend it.
13. Will there come a time when the truth can be spoken about the most critical pressures we currently face?
Answer: That depends entirely on the character of our leaders, frankly.
Real leadership is not about hosting a cocktail party on the deck of the Titanic.
It's about preventing the disaster by captaining that ship with competence, foresight, communication, integrity, strategic capacity, preparation and adaptability.
14. What is happening to those who are trying to point out our greatest challenges?
Answer: They're certainly being identified by the FBI as "radicals" and "journalists." Behind the scenes, the FBI considers them "glitches in the matrix." In other words, the FBI is trying to silence these people, and as rapidly as possible.
15. What is the FBI's current position, given that it has been found to have committed high treason by deploying fades against the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, the Executive Branch, and others?
Answer: Significantly diminished. I don't know that anyone in our government will ever really extend trust to the FBI and its affiliates again. The breaches of United States sovereignty are too comprehensive and profound.
16. The FBI appears to allege that the agency has returned to its former narrative of trying to discredit you with false accusations of mental illness. Do you have any comment?
Answer: The FBI is becoming much more rapid in the agency's utilization of AI-generated audio and video to falsely depict honorable American citizens. So, the agency can create any dialogue it wants, any video it can imagine, in an effort to thoroughly discredit an agency critic.
I happen to be remarkably resilient and stable psychologically. much to the FBI's obvious consternation.
But lies and defamation are dangerous activities by the FBI, and make no mistake, they are intended to be.
17. Do you have any history of mental illness?
Answer: Never.
18. Do you suffer from delusions or auditory hallucinations?
Answer: Decidedly not.
19. Are you depressed or anxious?
Answer: Not at all.
20. How do you manage your equanimity in the face of ongoing crimes by the FBI?
Answer: I try to keep my focus on what I can do for others. This is a great anodyne to the FBI's selfishness and narcissistic deceit. In fact, on the basis of this conversation, I would like to think more about whether extending our national parks to include our coastal waters would be possible.
21. Will you please keep in close contact with us, given the FBI's apparent ongoing predation toward your family members and yourself?
Answer: I'm happy to do so.
22. Thank you for speaking with us this evening.
Answer: You are most welcome.
