@Bigcitylib2 @wattsupwiththat @HeartlandInst in conversation, video footage coming. Jim Lakely filmed it--ask him!This has long been suspected, but apparently has been confirmed. Barre is this guy, a reclusive billionaire known for funding right-wing causes. It will be interesting now to see if any pressure is brought to bear upon him and his holdings. General Motors, for example, was eventually convinced to end their funding of HI.

His company makes surge protectors. Which would be more needed than ever in an excessively stormy world! Coincidence?
