[Never Forgotten @onlythedeadknow]

I’m impressed @MeatEaterTV @CameronHanes @joerogan @jockowillink @Montanaknifeco @braxton_mccoy @DaleStarkA10 are bringing it.

Very smart lady below. This isn’t their first try at selling or “leasing off” lands to NGOs and it won’t be their last. They are obsessed with taking control of our lands and it’s going to get worse very soon for AI and technology goals.

The people got wind of the SEC/NAC and stopped it but then:

April 18, 2024
Biden-Harris Administration Finalizes Strategy to Guide Balanced Management, Conservation of Public Lands
(The rule from the Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management — which oversees more than 380,000 square miles (990,000 square kilometers) of land, primarily in the U.S. West — will allow public property to be leased for restoration in the same way that oil companies lease land for drilling.) I assumed another full SEC/NAC push woukd follow. But their term was cut short by We The People. Giving them more ability to “monetize” land and assets to a Blockchain type of system.

BACKGROUND ON THE SEC NAC DEAL: (the difference between the above action and this is monitization of the lands and assets not just access)

•Lots of United Nations policies and regulations cited. Environmental economic accounting, Force for good, Transformation required to limit global warming, global sustainable investment alliance,

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change To Amend the NYSE Listed Company Manual To Adopt Listing Standards for Natural Asset Companies

“The Exchange proposes to amend the NYSE Listed Company Manual (“Manual”) to adopt a new listing standard for the listing of Natural Asset Companies.”

“These and other benefits derived from ecosystems are called ecosystem services, and in aggregate, economists estimate their value at more than US$100 trillion dollars per year.”

“Ending the overconsumption of and underinvestment in nature requires bringing natural assets into the financial mainstream. To that end, the Exchange proposes to adopt listing standards to introduce a new type of public company called a NAC, a new concept pioneered by Intrinsic Exchange Group Inc. (“IEG”). Founded in 2017, IEG is a private company structured as a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware that advises public sector and private landowners on the creation of NAC structures and strategies.”

“NACs will be corporations that hold the rights to the ecological performance (i.e., the value of natural assets and production of ecosystem services) produced by natural or working areas, such as national reserves or large-scale farmlands, and have the authority to manage the areas for conservation, restoration, or sustainable management. These rights can be licensed like other rights, including “run with the land” rights (such as mineral rights, water rights, or air rights), and NACs are expected to license these rights from sovereign nations or private landowners.”

“The Exchange and IEG have entered into an agreement pursuant to which IEG has granted the Exchange an exclusive license in the United States to use the Reporting Framework in connection with the listing of NACs on the Exchange (although the Reporting Framework will remain proprietary to IEG). Under the terms of the agreement, the Exchange has acquired a small minority interest in IEG and one seat on IEG's board of directors. IEG has agreed to seek to identify and develop NACs for listing on the Exchange, in addition to marketing the listing and trading of NACs on the Exchange and providing training with respect to the NAC structure and the Reporting Framework to NYSE personnel and currently listed and potential listed NACs. IEG will be entitled to a share of the revenues generated by the Exchange from the listing and trading of NACs on the NYSE.”

@Kiel_Samsing 🤔 Mixed messages for sure, and I don't disagree. But isn't it the choice of the individual adult to turn to alcohol to cope? Why should the conference turn down the willing sponsor? Aren't those sponsorship funds being used for the betterment of firefighters? Food for thought.

[Firesponge @stdntofthecrft]

@SecDef I heard that GNC is owned by the CCP. And that there are GNC on 80+ military bases. Is this being addressed???

Never underestimate the impact of telling your crew, 'Great job today.'

“Lazy workers flourish in organizational fuzziness and darkness. The last person an indolent slug wants to be around is a leader with a clear vision—especially if the other team members buy into the leader’s vision.”

3 Essential Elements of Leadership:

1) Taking responsibility without blaming or complaining.

2) Maintaining poise and professionalism in all circumstances.

3) Combining intelligence to solve problems and wisdom to avoid creating them.

We have come a long way in recognizing the cancer-causing activities in the fire service. The onus is now on us to implement measures to reduce our exposure. Full video on our YouTube Channel at https://t.co/2W1KxnTDY9 Credit Tyler Harrison.

What’s the key to being decisive on the fireground? Corley Moore offers a surface skim on decision making for firefighters.

What was the temperature of the last hallway we crawled?

If we judge the thermal severity behind the protection of firefighter PPE, the victim would beg to differ with us about our definition of heat. And clozed nozzles don't support victim survivability or extinguishment.

Early and continuous water application in superheated environments provides cooling and gas contraction.

Fire service: Do you feel that comics and sayings take on a life of their own and then become gospel when repeated and shared? They add to the disdain for how things are supposedly and how they used to be. It's up to you to make your place have the culture you want.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

A key to lifelong learning is to see everyone you meet as a potential teacher.

No one has a monopoly on wisdom. Each interaction is a chance to question old assumptions and gain new perspectives.

Collecting lessons from others is the fastest way to fill gaps in your experience.
