Follow up on the story about an arrogant TV host calling landowners who oppose new transmission "d*cks." New information has surfaced today that points to the source of the misinformation and probably the creatively edited video as well.
Did you think that the writers on the John Oliver show actually researched and wrote a story about "our power grid?" Of course they didn't. The show was fed a bunch of misinformation which it arranged and then added the dirty jokes. Sorry, but that's the illusion of TV. It's all a giant fake, just like John Oliver. He's just an actor with great timing to deliver the dirty jokes his producers feed him. Yay, you, John Oliver, funny little puppet!
The source of the misinformation about transmission and nasty attack on a Pennsylvania farmer is Americans for a Clean Energy Grid. They just couldn't help bragging about it.

Featuring "contributions" made by ACEG's Rob Gramlich. Gee, which part do you think he "contributed?" Do you really think HBO went on a hunt for a landowner video, watched the whole 40-minute film, and then harvested a clip of one landowner who fit their presumption that landowners "sound like d*cks?" Of course they didn't. What I want to know now is who edited the video to make the landowner "sound like a d*ck?" Was it HBO, or was it Rob Gramlich? Will HBO take the hit and protect Gramlich when the lawyers show up? Or will they throw him under the bus, sort of like how Gramlich threw that landowner under the bus to suit his own purposes? When you play dirty games, they always catch up to you. You've got to get up pretty early in the morning to fool a farmer.
So, what is Americans for a Clean Energy Grid? It started out as a group of dingbats pretending to be a grassroots group. But it was nothing but astroturf. Use of the word "Americans" in their name is a dead giveaway. All the best astroturf groups are "Americans" for something or other. I could delve into the long and interesting history of astroturf groups here, but I won't belabor this post. Really interesting reading, if you want to go down that rabbit hole. I attended one of ACEG's first little forums, and it was hard to keep from laughing at them. It reminded me of a bunch of junior highschoolers playing "business", not a slick, professional organization. Guess they didn't have a lot of money in those days. The best part is where several of the invited speakers pooped all over their "clean grid" agenda. And I think there was like free food or something. Made a fun little jaunt. But somewhere down the line in more recent times, this front group got bought up by something called The MacroGrid Initiative, and Rob Gramlich was installed as its figurehead. This guy has more personalities than a Chinese spy. He's the "Executive Director" of ACEG. He's founder and president of a company called "Grid Strategies LLC." His name shows up affiliated with the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) and the WATT Coalition. Go ahead, google him.... he's everywhere. He also stumps for The MacroGrid Initiative, a joint effort of the American Council on Renewable Energy and Americans for a Clean Energy Grid (ACORE and ACEG). Rob's a really busy guy who seems to have his dirty fingers in every "clean" pie currently being baked.
What's The MacroGrid Initiative? I did a little research on that earlier this year. In a nutshell, it's a front funded by Bill Gates and his rich globalist pals who want to invest and make a bundle building "clean" energy infrastructure. Read more about that here.
So why the vicious attack on a Pennsylvania farmer? The media has been full of transmission opposition success stories lately. First there was the citizens' victory over the Transource project in Pennsylvania when it was denied by the PA PUC. There was a great story featuring one of the landowners that was run in numerous outlets around the country. Then there was the successful citizens' referendum in Maine that will stop the New England Clean Energy Connect transmission project, designed to cut though Maine to deliver Canadian hydro power to Massachusetts. Big headlines nationwide from that. Then there was the court injunction to stop the building of the Cardinal-Hickory Creek transmission project in Wisconsin. That also made national news. And then the "clean" bandits began to worry... transmission opponents were winning and they had no good ideas to stop transmission opposition in its tracks. I guess someone must have had a brilliant idea. Make the landowners "sound like d*cks" so that the headline reading keyboard warriors would continue the assault until the landowners were just "d*cks" that everyone hated.
Because of a pair of sunglasses? It seems like someone got stuck on that farmer's sunglasses. Did you know that amber colored sunglasses are best for outdoor activities that require depth perception, contrast, and judging distance? You know, things like driving a combine as big as John Oliver's NYC apartment (and probably more costly) through a standing crop that covers obstructions until just about the time you run over them? But for some reason the urban keyboard warriors think wearing such sunglasses make you a d*ck. Actually, they make you a hard-working farmer producing the food these ungrateful idiots shove in their pie holes.
Is this the first volley of our coming culture war? Rob Gramlich has certainly showed his true colors by viciously and falsely attacking one Pennsylvania farmer. "Clean" he isn't. He's made himself our enemy.
My money's with the farmers in this culture war. Hunger happens pretty quickly. No more sh*tty casseroles for you, Rob Gramlich. If he hates farmers so much, perhaps he should begin growing his own food?
