Remembering 9/11, Parental Rights in Schools, and the Net Zero Threat to Human Flourishing

On this Wednesday broadcast, Kim Monson welcomed three guests who each brought urgent messages about learning from history to protect the future. Claire Carter, longtime media host and Good For You Network director, shared her deeply personal 9/11 remembrance. Jefferson County School Board candidate Amara Hildebrand made the case for parental rights and educational transparency. Farmer and rancher Trent Loos connected alarming dots between net carbon zero policies and threats to human flourishing. Net Carbon Zero and the War on Human Flourishing Start listening at 72:46 – Hour 2 Trent Loos, sixth-generation farmer and rancher, connected alarming dots between net carbon zero policies, earthquake risks, and what he sees as a deliberate agenda against human flourishing. He broke down how the World Economic Forum’s net zero scheme works: companies emit greenhouse gases, then buy credits from those who claim to sequester carbon. “We put people in prison for that,” Loos observed of the Ponzi-scheme mechanics. The discussion turned to Trinidad, Colorado, where natural gas production correlates with increased earthquake activity. Between 1973 and 2008, the U.S. saw 24 earthquakes. Between 2009 and 2014, that jumped to 193. The U.S. Geological Survey attributes this not to fracking itself, but to wastewater injection into fault lines. Now the government plans to inject compressed CO2, a substance Cornell University recently confirmed causes volcanic activity, into these same fault regions. Loos spent 57 days traveling to 37 states educating people about Executive Order 14008, the 30 by 30 initiative signed January 27, 2021. Of its 57 pages, 56 focus on ending fossil fuel utilization. The human body is 18% carbon, Loos noted, making net carbon zero’s implications clear. With diesel fuel prices spiking 50 cents in a single day during harvest season, the squeeze on farmers and food production is deliberate. When people suggest reducing world population from 8 billion to 2 billion by 2030, these policies start looking like the mechanism. “One gallon of diesel fuel actually replaces 500 man hours of food labor production.” Trent Loos, Sixth-Generation Farmer and Rancher Remembering 9/11 and the Call to Never Forget Start listening at 34:00 – Hour 1 Claire Carter lived in downtown New York on September 11, 2001, breathing the toxic air that flooded her apartment as the towers fell. She walked through a war zone to attend a sermon titled “Making Sense of the Senseless,” where the message that day was clear: we cannot allow these people to die in vain. Carter created the video “Never Again Should There Be a 9-11,” now available on YouTube through the Good For You Network. The piece opens with a man’s phone call to his wife, knowing he wasn’t coming home, saying “I love you. Save this message your whole life.” It closes with the new World Trade Center dissolving into phantom lights and the faces of those who never made it home. What struck Carter most was hearing children at the annual reading of names, kids who never knew a parent or grandparent lost that day, yet speak with such love and devotion. One man named Jimmy, just four years old when his uncle died, reminded politicians it should not take a tragedy to unite us. Carter emphasized that prevention must be the priority, questioning building codes that allowed the towers to be built with only three stairwells and environmental agencies that told residents the toxic air was safe. “We cannot allow these people to die in vain, and we’ve got to do good in their name.”
