Headline: Coal Barons Who Donated $1 Million to Trump’s Increasingly Suspicious Inauguration Fund May Get Huge Favor...

Bloomberg published an eyebrow-raising report Thursday night about a draft proposal being prepared by the Trump administration that would subsidize the coal industry in part by invoking a Cold War–era law intended for use in national security emergencies:

Trump administration officials are making plans to order grid operators to buy electricity from struggling coal and nuclear plants in an effort to extend their life, a move that could represent an unprecedented intervention into U.S. energy markets.
The Energy Department would exercise emergency authority under a pair of federal laws to direct the operators to purchase electricity or electric generation capacity from at-risk facilities, according to a memo obtained by Bloomberg News.

This would be a controversial move on a number of levels—for one, it is literal socialism, the thing that the right wing spent 2009–16 accusing Barack Obama of imposing on America—but let’s look in particular at the Bloomberg report’s aside about one of the industry groups that is involved:

The issue is a priority for some of the president’s top supporters, including coal moguls Robert E. Murray and Joseph Craft of Alliance Resource Partners, who donated a million dollars to the president’s inauguration. The move would be one of the most direct efforts by Trump to make good on campaign promises to revive the nation’s shrinking coal industry. “This action is essential in order to protect the resiliency and reliability of our nation’s electric power grids,” Murray said Friday in an email.

Dear Shakti Love Warriors, in this time of great polarity, we are being called to rise and model heart-centered awareness and leadership. What would love do? How would love treat ourselves and our fellow humans?

Please look over the Six Agreements of the WEvolution and see if you are in alignment with these understandings. These Six Agreements outline the core values and practices of our group.

Please use the agreements as a guiding light when you post and leave comments. Our mission is to create a kind, supportive and empowering space for people to meditate and grow together, as we share and celebrate our diverse beliefs, perceptions and ideas with each other. Are you all in?

The Six Agreements of the WEvolution:

Authored by Larisa Stow, with insightful contributions from Laurie Goldstein, and the beloved WEspace.

1. Plug daily into source: Meditation/mindfulness, breathwork, yoga, mantra, prayer and stillness are examples. Just as Olympic athletes rigorously train, so, too must we strengthen our spiritual muscles, deepening our connection to Source and expanding our energetic capacities. Daily spiritual practice is the practice of love.

2. Cultivate Courageous Vulnerability: Allow people to see your struggle, to see your humanity. Take off your social mask. Dare to be transparent. You allow others to contribute more to you when you do, creating deeper connection in your relationships.

3. Lead with Compassionate Curiosity: When you find yourself judging, defending your position, becoming critical, or self-righteous step back and observe. Put in the effort to see through another’s eyes. Get curious about how they came to be the person/personality they are today. What shaped their consciousness and perceptions? What informed their beliefs? What are the needs and values driving their unconscious behaviors and their conscious choices? The more you understand how a person came to be who they are, the more compassion and empathy you can hold for them. Genuinely care about their wellbeing.

4. Practice Radical Self-Acceptance: Compassionately witness your critical thoughts. How can you be even more kind to yourself? Even the inner judge needs compassion and kindness. Deeply listen to the inner voices of your wounding—seek to understand, allow, heal and transform. Practice accepting the parts of yourself that feel unlovable. Speak with as much kindness to these parts of self as you would to your beloved or a newborn baby. The more you accept disowned aspects of yourself, the easier it will be for you to have compassion for others.

5. Respect Each Other: You don’t have to agree with another’s beliefs to be thoughtful and considerate in your communication. Refrain from yelling, using words and body language that objectify, generalize, or dehumanize. Use language that creates connection, rather than black/white, right/wrong dialog. Before you engage in conversation, get clear on your own motivation in the exchange. Are you sharing to affirm how you think/feel, and to change someone’s opinion, or are you allowing the space to create deeper understanding and connection?

6. Play together: Get out there and play. Find the humor in life. Play improves relationships; it inspires deeper connection and bonding with others. Play creates rapport as you come into more sympathetic resonance with one another through fun and laughter. It teaches cooperation.

Five years ago I was supposed to fly to Maui to stay in Ram Dass' guest house for a week and hang out with him and his people.  Several days before I was to get on the plane I found out a hurricane of mass proportions was heading up the center of Florida.
Something clicked in me. It was weird. I asked myself "Why would I leave my family and travel across oceans to find the answers when everything I needed was here (now!), within me, within every person I met, in every situation I found myself in. I needed to stay and face the storm.
So I wrote Ram Dass and told him just this. I never got to meet this great teacher.
Five years since have passed. Ram Dass has left his body. I've gone through a divorce, I've bought and sold houses, wrote and published books, and cried more than I ever thought possible... In those five years I have faced more storms than I can count...but through all of the noise has been THIS!
THIS!
This grace, this moment, this golden truth that whispers in my ear every moment of every day "Isn't it grand?...isn't it grand?"
I've learned Ram Dass' lessons without meeting him because, in the end, it wasn't about him at all.  It was about letting go again and again and again, learning the fine and delicate art of diving in deep and allowing the swirling waters to take me straight to the center of the storm.  I needed to get tossed around, spit out, and then emerge right here where I am right at this moment...wet and wild...a creature of it all.

Elizabeth Warren has some GREAT Ideas: Tax the Rich... Prison for Corporate Executives that Break The Law... Legalize Voting for ALL... End Corporate Welfare for Oil, Gas and Coal AND DEFENSE Companies...

Elizabeth Warren Two Cent Wealth Tax -
It Just Makes Sense - Fund America

Instead of having two systems of Justice, One for the Rich and a Different One for the REST of US... Why not have Equality? The Executives at Wells Fargo might have NOT DONE the CRIME if they knew that Prison Awaited them... What about the Makers of Oxycontin? They caused thousands of deaths... What about Cigarettes? Millions Died...

FYI: Before she was elected to the Senate, Warren convinced congressional Democrats and President Obama to create the agency now known as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Warren supports the Buffett Rule, which would restore the Clinton tax rates on the top income bracket. She believes that the added revenues should be used to make college more affordable and help students pay off their student loans.

As part of her presidential campaign, Warren proposed an annual wealth tax ("ultra-millionaire tax") in January 2019. The proposal would levy a 2% annual tax on household net worth above $50M, and a 3% annual tax on net worth above $1bn.

Warren supports investing in renewable energy rather than "handing out massive tax breaks to [nonrenewable] energy companies that are among the most profitable corporations in the world." She says that "as long as we subsidize dirty sources like oil, gas, and coal, we threaten the air we breathe and the water we drink."

Warren claims to oppose continuing the war in Afghanistan and support withdrawing U.S. troops as quickly as possible...

It must be Horrible to Work at a Climate Change Denier Think Tank. Imagine going to work and writing false studies designed to make the world a worse place to live.

Headline: A MAJOR COAL COMPANY WENT BUST. ITS BANKRUPTCY FILING SHOWS THAT IT WAS FUNDING CLIMATE CHANGE DENIALISM. The documents in the court docket show that the coal giant gave contributions to leading think tanks that have attacked the link between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change, as well as to several conservative advocacy groups that have attempted to undermine policies intended to shift the economy toward renewable energy.

https://theintercept.com/2019/05/16/coal-industry-climate-change-denial-cloud-peak-energy/

A Friend of Mine Did Not Believe That Her Car Was On the Wrong Side of the Road and Heading for a Logging Truck... and then... She Went Through Her Windshield Head First! Wham! Reality DID Exist! But Climate Change Deniers Fail to Grasp That Simple Fact...

The document shows that Cloud Peak Energy helped fund the Institute of Energy Research, a Washington, D.C.-based group that has dismissed the “so-called scientific consensus” on climate change and regularly criticizes investments in renewable energy as a “waste” of resources.

Several of the groups that receive funding from Cloud Peak Energy have used aggressive tactics to attempt to discredit environmentalists. The Center for Consumer Freedom, one of the groups listed in the coal company’s filing, is part of a sprawling network of front groups set up by a lobbyist named Rick Berman geared toward attacking green groups such as the Sierra Club and Food & Water Watch as dangerous radicals.

Other organizations quietly bankrolled by Cloud Peak Energy have directly shaped state policy. The company provided funding to the American Legislative Exchange Council, a group that provides template legislation to state lawmakers. The model bills promote the fossil fuel agenda. One model bill declares that there is a “great deal of scientific uncertainty” around climate change; others are designed to repeal environmental regulations on coal-burning power plants.

The Montana Policy Institute — a local libertarian think tank that promotes a discredited claim that world temperatures are falling, not rising, and questions whether humans cause climate change — also received funding from the firm.

Cloud Peak Energy, the filing shows, funded Americans for Prosperity, the Koch brothers-backed group that mobilizes political opposition to Democratic politicians and climate regulations. The mining firm also financed Crossroads GPS, a “dark-money” group that funneled millions of undisclosed dollars into Senate races in support of GOP politicians during the 2010 and 2012 election cycles. The Western Caucus Foundation, which supports congressional efforts to deregulate the mining sector and sell off public lands for energy development, received funding as well.

Many of the political dollars listed in the filing appear routine among coal industry firms. The Wyoming coal firm provided financing to an array of trade groups, including the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, the National Mining Association, and the American Coal Council, that lobby legislators on mine industry priorities.
