Abraham Lincoln Might Not Be Who You Thought He Was – Andrew Speno

Friday, March 14th, former FOX 25 reporter and investigator Andrew Speno, joined us to talk about Abraham Lincoln – a man who research shows isn’t the man history has painted for us. You can find the whole interview on our YouTube and Rumble channels. I suggest you do and watch the entire video. It was fascinating – and unsettling, frankly! Definitely a must watch!

Andrew has been studying Lincoln – among other topics – for several years. He explained that Lincoln was not the abolitionist history paints him to be. Old Abe didn’t really care about freeing slaves as much as he didn’t want southern states succeeding from the Union. Yick. Definitely not a good look for ‘honest’ Abe…

Not only is that a pretty gross deal, but even worse was how Lincoln treated other people during the war! He was supposed to be a Republican, but, as Speno tells us, Lincoln was the guy who started the practice of ‘lawfare’ – siccing the law on your political enemies without a legal reason to do so!

Truly, this was a fascinating interview and one we don’t see very often. One that questions current political history. Speno has been doing research on a number of OTHER historically propagandized individuals – such as Hellen Keller – and we’ll be having him back on in upcoming months to give us a chance to allow new information to change our historical worldview, so STAY TUNED!

Citizens Of HD32 Effectively Taxed Without Representation As Representative Jim Shaw’s Bills Blocked From Hearings

Last year, political newcomer Jim Shaw, driven by the fact that he didn’t want to see wind turbines scattered all over the Oklahoma landscape, or deal with the after effects of having human sewage dumped on the fields around him, decided to run for the Oklahoma House against a very powerful, nearly-termed-out Representative, Kevin Wallace, then House Appropriations Chair.

In a surprising upset, Shaw – with an army of grassroots rural Oklahomans worried about all the same things – beat Wallace in the primary.

This was unheard of. No newcomer out of nowhere beats the House Appropriations Chair running for this 5th term. And so the RINO forces gathered.

Governor Stitt put out numerous messages urging voters in the district to vote for Wallace, including this video, where he called those advocating AGAINST Wallace “Political Animals”.

Everyone from the Speaker of the House Charles McCall, to the Speaker-Elect of the House, Kyle Hilbert, came out to little ‘ole District 32 to churn up support for House Appropriations Chair Wallace.

Speaker-Elect Kyle Hilbert stumps for Kevin Wallace in HD32

Here, you see Kevin Wallace in the background with then-Speaker-Elect Kyle Hilbert (foreground) stumping for Wallace at a campaign event in HD32.

Here is Wallace (L) with (in order), Speaker of the House Charles McCall, Governor Kevin Stitt, Thomas Tillison (broadband and other business owner/Wellston) and Grant Green, Senator for SD28, which includes Shaw’s.

With that much ammunition behind him, Wallace must not have been poling well. And then came the point where Wallace apparently got desperate, and doxed Shaw, toward the end of the campaign, posting pictures of his residence to his Facebook page.

Unfortunately for Wallace and his campaign – funded nearly 100% by special interests and business professionals – none of these measures helped. In the end Shaw prevailed in the general election by a wide margin (3,291 to 2,764).

But then came Shaw’s first day on the floor. Organizational Day, the day on which the House rules would be voted on by the House for the 2025 legislative session.

Shaw had read the rules and didn’t approve of the two-tiered Committee structure and other issues. He had studied the rules in the few days they were available to him and began to debate them on the floor, when he was tersely debated (bullied?) by Counselor to the Speaker (a new leadership position just added this year), Representative Chris Kannady – the same Chris Kannady who openly admitted to working to oust 12 Conservative Republicans from the House in 2018 for being too conservative. The same Chris Kannady attached to the Conservative Alliance PAC – used to fund the campaigns of the Conservative’s opponents – which was fined 45 thousand dollars for, among other things, not filing spending reports.

Here is the Kannady/Shaw exchange on the floor February 7th, 2025. You can find more here in the full live video on YouTube where everything that happened on the House floor during Organizational Day is broken down.

Can it be proven that leadership has blocked Shaw’s bills from hearings? No. However, a simple look at the history of the HD32 election in which Shaw challenged Wallace provides ample support of that contention. In fact, people may look at the clip of Wallace and Kannady on the floor and feel that Kannady was NOT trying to intimidate Shaw, but it is well known that Representative Kannady hates conservatives so much that he actively worked to remove 12 conservative Republicans from the House in 2018 using a PAC eventually fined for unethical actions.

In the end, it matters not the actual reasons Shaw’s bills weren’t heard in Committee because the end result will ALWAYS be the same – the people that voted Jim Shaw into office deserve to be heard. In point of fact, that concept is the MAINSTAY OF OUR REPUBLIC. One would think an attorney with the self-appointed Constitutional knowledge of Chris Kannady would know this. Even young kids know that taxation without representation is the reason colonists dressed as Native Americans and dumped tea into the Boston Harbor in December 1773.

And so it stands that because none of Representative Jim Shaw’s bills were heard in the Oklahoma House of Representatives, the effect is none other than that ALL of the citizens of HD32 have now been TAXED WITHOUT REPRESENTATION and that IS UNFORGIVEABLE.

If this is the way House leadership intends to act for the duration of the session, Oklahomans had better commit to removing each and every one of these individuals for impeding the Constitutional rights of an entire county’s worth of citizens. And just in case you don’t know who these individuals are, here is the list and the link to find them on the House website. It behooves all Oklahomans to get very familiar with these elected Representatives now and to start looking for their replacements as June 2026 looms on the horizon. Included next to the name is that Representative’s 2024 conservative index according to the Oklahoma Constitution. Without a Boston Harbor, removal and replacement will be the only way to get our point across.

Governor Kevin Stitt Continues To Sell Oklahoma Down The Green Energy River

I woke up this morning to an X post by Oklahoma’s Governor Kevin Stitt, happily seated at a table in the Governor’s mansion with Ambassador of Denmark to the United States Jesper Møller Sørensen, telling Oklahomans how he has “just signed a [sic] historic memorandum of understanding between Denmark and Oklahoma” for ‘reliable’ energy for both “communities”.

Denmark is a ‘community’ now? Did I miss a downgrade or something?

The preamble of the MOU says Oklahoma is being ‘leveraged’ – that Oklahoma will be transformed using cutting edge European green energy technologies, but what will this transformation look like for Oklahoma taxpayers and private land owners? What land will be ‘leveraged’ for these projects?

The official press release from the Governor’s office is even more fawning and grotesque, painting a picture of Oklahoma and Denmark as next door neighbors sharing a cup of sugar, only the real story isn’t sweet. It will end with thousands more acres of Oklahoma farmland lost to wind turbines and solar panels, the energy from which Oklahomans don’t even use.

See, Oklahoma produces almost 3 times more energy from oil and gas than we use every year. Though electricity from wind turbines generated 42% of our total energy profile in 2023, most of this ‘green’ energy is ‘shipped’ out to other states primarily through either the Southwest Power Pool or the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO).

Oklahoma simply doesn’t need solar or wind power, yet our Governor’s “‘more of everything’ approach to energy” is driving an ill-advised, unneeded, boom in green energy installations supported either by Oklahoma tax incentives or the 1.2 trillion dollars worth of green subsidies in the hilariously ill-named, Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

But Oklahoma isn’t investing only in wind and solar – the largest carbon capture plant in the United States opened in Shidler in August. Interestingly, County officials including the outgoing Sheriff, nor any of the citizens I spoke with knew anything about it. Why the secrecy? Does Governor Stitt know what happened in Satartia, Mississippi where a whole town exposed to CO2 from a ruptured pipe (something that can readily happen with CO2 pipelines because of the physics of the gas) hospitalized 45 people? Is he alright with that kind of thing happening to Oklahoma residents?

Probably the most insidious, if not insane, idea born of the World Economic Forum, is that atmospheric carbon can be removed and traded as a commodity. In fact, this must be so if the planet is to survive.

Once CO2 – the molecule completing the oxygen cycle and providing the ‘food’ for all photosynthetic plant life that, in turn, supplies oxygen breathers their necessary O2 – was demonized as a ‘greenhouse’ gas and the planet designated as a death trap as a result, the green light has shown brightly for the WEF carbon credit monopoly scheme.

Bantam, the name of Oklahoma’s plant, which opened to more fawning speechifying by Governor Stitt and other Oklahoma elected luminaries, uses a carbon capture technique created by a company called Heimdal.

The Co-Founder and CEO of Heimdal is Marcus Lima, a Norway native – recognized by Forbes 30 under 30 – whose young-man-short resume indicates that he earned a Master’s in Science from Oxford (2020) and created Heimdal through Y Combinator in 2021 specifically to take advantage of the IRA’s $180 per ton credit of CO2 that is captured and stored through at least 2032.

Bantam is Lima’s first business venture, yet Heimdal is currently valued at 63 million, financed in part by the likes of Sam Altman (Open AI) and Marc Beniof (cloud computing pioneer) and, of course, welcomed into Oklahoma by Governor Stitt’s open arms energy policy.

Why? Why would a Republican governor – especially the Republican governor of an energy self-sufficient state – want to facilitate the green agenda? What does it buy the people of our state when energy is created here only to be shipped to other states who need ‘green’ energy to meet their ‘climate’ policies while ranch and farm land disappears under wind turbines and solar panels?

Why for that matter, would Denmark be interested in Oklahoma? According to numerous sources, Scandanavia is leading the Green Revolution, producing 90% of its electrical power from renewables. For what do they need Oklahoma then? They seem to be doing quite fine on their own despite the issues with sea creatures, eagles and reindeer being bothered by the endless churning turbines.

Wind turbines explode, and when they do, they seed the land with fiberglass and concrete making it unusable for farming or ranching. Solar panels catch fire and when they heat up and explode, they litter the ground with glass, making it unusable for farming and ranching. Their batteries burn so long and so hot that it takes days and days to put them out, often depleting local water sources and rural, volunteer, fire fighters. So what are the advantages for Oklahomans again? Starving plants of CO2? Picking up millions in taxpayer subsidies? Handouts for political campaigns from green energy companies like NextEra?

The National Interest Electric Transmission Corridor – pushed by the Biden Administration through the Federal Power Act – is being developed as a way to transport Oklahoma wind and solar-generated electricity out of the state. Approximately 4–18 miles wide and 645 miles long, the Delta Plains leg of the NIETC would run right through farmlands in northern Oklahoma. It isn’t clear if the land for this corridor would be usurped by eminent domain, but it is clear that a drastic drop in real estate value for Oklahomans would accompany such an enormous project that doesn’t benefit them in any way.

In fact, the whole of Europe is exploding with unrest over green agenda goals as European governments attack farming – believed to contribute 1/3 of the world’s CO2 output – burdening farmers with excessive regulations and taxation, making it impossible for them to do their jobs. Or is that the point?

In Ireland, the Green Party lost every seat but one in last Friday’s elections, in part because voters blamed the Party for increasing fuel taxes resulting from the country’s plan to reach carbon neutrality by 2050.

The ‘green’ agenda is simple madness – all of it – because ‘free’ government money always leads to bigger government and problem policies that trickle down on the little guy. But it doesn’t matter how stupid anything is if investors find a way to make money from it. Once the investor class sees an avenue to returns, madness becomes monetized. The only thing the rest of us can do is to band together and throw the bums supporting the madness out. It’s the only way to – in the words of a people-elected Representative who took over a bum’s seat during our summer primary – save our land, livelihoods and legacies.
