Solar Company Manager Accused of Defrauding Seniors
Nevada authorities have arrested Derek Guadalupe Carbajal, the general manager of Lifetime Power Solar Company, on charges of allegedly scamming seniors out of approximately $250,000 for services he never rendered.
Carbajal, 43, was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on seven felony counts of theft and a misdemeanor and is detained without bail while scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Thursday, May 16.
Margi Grein, the executive officer of the contractors’ board, described the case as “egregious” and revealed that the board sought prosecution assistance from the Office of the Nevada Attorney General. And, while all allegations were not released, the board announced a “new specialized solar investigation unit” addressing such complaints.
The specialized unit aims to collaborate with various entities across Nevada, including prosecutorial agencies, to enhance consumer protections against solar scams, deceptive loans, and aggressive sales tactics. The board has seen an increase in complaints related to solar companies in recent years.
Of particular concern to the Nevada State Contractors Board are the down payments demanded from homeowners before work begins and the utilization of unlawful and predatory sales strategies by licensed and unlicensed contractors. Following an investigation, affected homeowners may be eligible for financial compensation through the Residential Recovery Fund, which provides up to $40,000 per validated claim.
Complaints can be made online at solar@nscb.state.nv.us.

The Crow’s Egg
Paiute Joe pointed to a crow’s nest perched atop a tree.
“Ya ever seen a crow’s egg, Max?” he asked, his voice gruff yet curious.
Max shook his head, adjusting his glasses. “Can’t say that I have, Cowboy. Why do you ask?”
Paiute Joe scratched his chin thoughtfully.
“Well, it’s just somethin’ I been wonderin’ about. Seems strange, don’t it? Somethin’ so dark and frightenin’ comin’ from somethin’ so delicate and small.”
Max nodded, a small smile playing on his lips.
“Indeed, Joe. It’s a curious paradox of nature, isn’t it? The juxtaposition of light and darkness, fragility and strength.”
They continued into town and the general store. Inside, they found themselves browsing the shelves, admiring the array of goods on display.
Paiute Joe suddenly spotted a display of crow-themed merchandise.
“Would ya look at that,” he exclaimed, pointing excitedly. “Crow figurines, crow feathers, even crow-themed mugs!”
Max chuckled, amused by Joe’s enthusiasm.
“Seems like crows are quite popular around here,” he remarked.
Paiute Joe grinned, picking up a ceramic crow figurine and examining it closely.
“Ya know, Max, I reckon we oughta find ourselves that crow’s nest and see one of them eggs for ourselves.”
Max raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the idea. “And how do you propose we do that, Joe?”
Paiute Joe tapped his hat thoughtfully.
Excitement coursed their veins as they cautiously approached the nest, mindful not to disturb its inhabitants.
Peering inside, they saw a sight that took their breath away. Nestled within the cozy confines of the nest were several small, speckled eggs, each a marvel of nature’s craftsmanship.
Paiute Joe and Max marveled at the delicate beauty of the eggs, their shells a mottled combination of dark hues and intricate patterns.
“It’s even more breathtaking than I imagined,” Max whispered, his voice filled with awe.
Paiute Joe nodded in agreement, his eyes fixed on the eggs. “Aye, it’s a sight to behold, that’s for sure. Makes ya appreciate the wonders of the natural world.”
Suddenly, with a loud caw, the mother crow swooped down from her perch, wings outstretched, feathers ruffled in agitation.
Startled, Paiute Joe and Max stumbled backward, their hearts racing with adrenaline. The crow, fiercely protective of her nest and eggs, eyed them warily, her beady eyes gleaming aggressively.
“Steady there, girl,” Paiute Joe said soothingly. “We mean no harm. We’re just admiring your beautiful nest.”
Max nodded in agreement, his voice calm and reassuring. “Yes, we’re just passing through. We won’t disturb you or your babies.”
The crow hovered in the air, sizing up the intruders with suspicion, and dived at the pair again. Paiute Joe and Max quickly backed away, exchanged glances, and silently acknowledged their close call.
“Ya know, Max,” Paiute Joe said suddenly, breaking the silence. “I reckon life’s a bit like them crow’s eggs. Full of darkness and light, strength and fragility. But it’s what we make of it that counts, ain’t it?”
Max nodded, a smile spreading across his face. “Indeed it is, Joe. Indeed it is.”
To Paiute Joe, it seemed inconsequential that he and Max shared a belief about the crow’s eggs, but upon reflection, it unsettled him. It felt like a disruption in the familiar rhythm of their friendship, akin to the discomfort of trying out a new saddle on a trusted old horse.

GOP’s Legal Maneuvering Gains Momentum Ahead of 2024 Election
As President Joe Biden and Donald Trump intensify their campaigning in key battleground states, a quieter battle unfolds in the legal arena, shaping the landscape for the upcoming 2024 election.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) has ramped up its litigation efforts, filing election-related lawsuits in nearly half of the states, signaling a strategic move to influence voting and election administration.
Recent lawsuits over voter roll maintenance in Michigan and Nevada highlight the RNC’s concerted effort to challenge various aspects of voting procedures.
With internal changes within the RNC, legal maneuvering has emerged as a pivotal strategy for the party, serving as a tool for campaign messaging, fundraising, and sowing doubts about the validity of election outcomes. Danielle Alvarez, a senior adviser to the RNC and the Trump campaign, emphasized the significance of these lawsuits, stating that they are a top priority for the organization and align with Trump’s vision for the RNC’s year-round activities.
However, Democrats and legal experts caution against the potential consequences of such litigation. They warn that the proliferation of lawsuits could overwhelm election officials and erode voter confidence in election results.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has responded with its legal strategy, investing resources in voter protection initiatives to counter the GOP’s efforts to restrict access to the polls.
Despite the unsuccessful legal challenges following the 2020 election, the surge in election-related lawsuits persists, indicating a trend expected to continue into the 2024 election cycle. Both parties seem to have embraced litigation as a staple of their political strategies, reflecting the increasingly contentious nature of electoral politics.
The RNC’s litigation targets include voter ID rules, mail ballots, and absentee voting procedures. Critics of these lawsuits argue that they rely on flawed data and risk disenfranchising legitimate voters, echoing concerns raised by legal experts and democracy advocates.
While most of the lawsuits are unlikely to succeed in court, they serve a dual purpose of fundraising and shaping public perception of election integrity. Moreover, they pose a potential threat to the smooth conduct of elections and the timely certification of results, raising fears of post-election chaos and uncertainty.

The Humbling of a Rancher’s Wife
As a rancher’s wife, Millie exuded confidence as she glided through the grocery store, her elegant demeanor catching the eye of those around her. As she approached the self-checkout, she selected a bottle of wine, a small indulgence to accompany her evening.
However, her peaceful shopping trip took an unexpected turn when the clerk said, “We have to check I.D.s of people buying alcohol if they appear under 30.”
“Well, I am flattered, but I am much older than 30,” Millie said. “I am in my 60s.”
The I.D. checker’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at her driver’s license.
She smiled as she left the store, her spirits buoyed by the unexpected compliment. Arriving home, she eagerly shared the incident with her husband of 37 years, reveling in the affirmation of her youthful appearance.
A few days later, Millie treated herself to a visit to the nail salon, hoping to enhance her already impeccable appearance. As she entered, she felt a sense of pride in her stylish winter coat, its design and faux fur trim exuding luxury.
Confidently, she removed her coat and hung it up, expecting admiring glances from the other patrons. Yet, as Millie settled into the spa chair, she noticed something that quickly humbled her.
Attached to the collar of her coat was a bright orange Goodwill tag.

Couple Face Multiple Charges for Mail Theft, Forgery
An illegal alien couple, previously deported in 2019, has resurfaced in Northern Nevada.
Keyli Escalante-Enamorado, 21, and Rudy Socop-Domingo, 23, were apprehended during a routine traffic stop in Minden, where authorities uncovered a cache of stolen mail, including personal and business checks totaling over $555,000.
Deputy District Attorney Bethany Towne, representing the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office, expressed concern over the couple’s alleged crimes.
“We are dealing with a case of significant magnitude,” Towne remarked. “The impact of their actions has reverberated across four states, affecting 330 victims, 21 of whom reside right here in Douglas County.”
During their appearance in East Fork Justice Court following their arrest, Towne asked for a higher bail, citing the potential flight risk posed by the couple.
“Their indication of traveling to Los Angeles after their time in Reno raises red flags,” she stated. “We must ensure they remain in custody to face the consequences of their actions.”
Attorney Max Stovall, representing the couple for the bail hearing, pointed to their circumstances in requesting a reasonable bail amount.
“My clients have a 3-month-old child at home,” Stovall emphasized. “Setting bail at $25,000 each would allow them to address their legal matters while ensuring their family remains intact.”
The discovery of nearly 300 pieces of stolen mail and homemade mail fishing devices shed light on the couple’s alleged modus operandi.
“These individuals were engaged in systematic theft and forgery,” said the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO). “Their actions pose a serious threat to the integrity of our community.”
Both Escalante-Enamorado and Socop-Domingo are allegedly in the U.S. illegally.
“We have alerted ICE and requested an immigration hold on the suspects,” the DCSO confirmed. “Furthermore, we have enlisted the assistance of federal agencies to ensure a thorough investigation into this matter.”
The stolen mail and checks were from Storey, Lyon, Carson City, and Washoe Counties, as well as several locations in California.

A Cowboy of Merit
A cowboy strolled up to the Pearly Gates where St. Peter stood, greeting arrivals with his usual question.
“Have you ever done anything of particular merit?” St. Peter inquired.
The cowboy tilted his hat back, considering.
“Well, I reckon there’s one thing,” he drawled.
He recounted a recent trip to the Black Hills in South Dakota. He had stumbled upon a gang of bikers who were menacing a young woman.
Despite their threats, he stepped forward and demanded they leave her alone. When they refused to heed his warning, he took matters into his own hands.
“I walked up to the biggest, meanest fella there, gave him a good smack to the side of his head, kicked over his bike, yanked out his nose ring, and tossed it on the ground,” the cowboy recounted proudly. “Then I warned them all to back off, or I’d give ’em a taste of cowboy justice.”
St. Peter raised an eyebrow, impressed by the cowboy’s bravado. “When did this happen?”
The cowboy grinned. “Oh, just a couple of minutes ago.”

Rosen’s Fundraising Trends Highlighted in Q1 2024 FEC Report
Senator Jacky Rosen’s latest Federal Election Commission (FEC) April Quarterly Report for Q1 2024 sheds light on the funding dynamics of her reelection campaign as out-of-state donors continue to play a significant role in bolstering her campaign coffers.
In the first quarter of 2024, Rosen’s fundraising efforts were primarily buoyed by contributions from California and New York, with Nevada lagging as the third top fundraising state. Strikingly, less than 10 percent of itemized individual contributions came from Nevada, while California and New York accounted for over 35 percent combined.
By contrast, Sam Brown emerged as a stark contrast, with Nevada ranking as his top fundraising state. Over 23 percent of Brown’s itemized individual contributions originated from within Nevada in Q1 2024.
The trend is not new. Previous reports have consistently highlighted a pattern wherein most of Rosen’s donations stem from out-of-state sources. In 2018, over 90 percent of her campaign contributions hailed from beyond Nevada’s borders, with metro areas such as New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., leading the charge.
The involvement of high-profile donors adds another dimension to Rosen’s fundraising narrative. In Q1 2024, she received maximum donations from notable figures like billionaire George Soros and his son Alexander Soros, who has taken the reins of the family’s philanthropic endeavors. Additionally, Rosen accepted a significant contribution from Seth Merrin, a billionaire accused of repeated sexual harassment—a factor that could potentially draw scrutiny.
Despite her fundraising, Rosen faces a challenging reelection battle. Recent polls suggest a tight race between Rosen and GOP frontrunner Sam Brown, with Rosen holding a slight lead within the margin of error.
Concerns over inflation and dissatisfaction with President Biden’s policies further compound the electoral landscape, potentially eroding support for Rosen among Nevada voters. As inflation continues to soar in the Silver State, reaching 21.6 percent since President Biden’s inauguration, constituents grapple with mounting household expenses.

Nevada Secretary of State’s Office Claims No Voter Fraud in Quarterly Report
Attempting to cut off incoming allegations of electoral misconduct ahead of the 2024 Presidential election, the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office has created a blatant cover-up disguised as transparency in its latest quarterly report on election violations.
Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar’s assertions denying widespread voter fraud in Nevada are just an attempt to obscure the reality of electoral malpractice. His statements and the report do nothing more than downplay legitimate concerns about the integrity of the state’s elections.
“There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in Nevada, at any point in our state’s history.,” Aguilar said. “That has not stopped the Secretary of State’s Office from receiving a major increase in questions about election fraud and integrity. We receive a large number of reports that did not consist of any actual violation of election law. This happens for several reasons; from a lack of understanding of the law to attempts to overwhelm our office during an election cycle with unfounded allegations. Regardless, we take every allegation seriously and investigate them to the full extent of the law.”
Despite claims to the contrary, the report reveals a disturbing trend of reported instances of “double voting” during the 2022 general election. While the Secretary of State acknowledges 146 cases of double voting, only a fraction—44 cases—were referred for investigation, raising suspicions about the thoroughness of the inquiry process.
Furthermore, the narrative of a negligible impact—0.0001 percent of ballots cast—fails to address that even an isolated incident of voter fraud undermines the integrity of the entire electoral process.
In a particularly damning revelation, the report highlights a case involving a father and son, both sharing the same name, who allegedly cast duplicate ballots. The Secretary of State’s Office portrays this incident as an isolated mistake.
The Secretary of State’s narrative of transparency is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to sweep legitimate concerns under the rug, as his office has once again failed to address the fraud witnessed during the 2020 Presidential election.

Climate Disaster or Upcoming False Flag?
As I researched information about the military horses galloping through London, I kept seeing stuff about massive worldwide weather events in the United States, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and China. Some information I ran across included threads referencing June 6, 2024, and other weather stories bordering on conspiracy.
With my interest piqued, I figured I would do more digging and see where these odd threads would lead.
Airbnb has updated its Major Disruptive Events policy beginning on June 6. The reasons behind the policy change remain unclear, but it indicates a proactive approach to potential disruptions affecting their services globally.
I’ll return to this in a bit.
On June 6, 2024, which adds up to 6+6+2+0+2+4=20, and 2+0=2, the number two means spiritual awakening and the importance of corroborating facts with witnesses. The day is also the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion of Europe via France, which adds up to 6+6+1+9+4+4=30, and 3+0=3, representing harmony, wisdom, and understanding.
Combining the numbers 2 and 3 gives us 5, which signifies life changes, individual freedom, and the grace of God. Breaking down 80 into eight represents the balance between the material and spiritual worlds.
Adding 8 and 5 gives us 13, which adds up to 1+3=4, associated with the fourth day of creation when God created the Sun, Moon, and Stars. It’s worth noting that there are not only four elements (air, earth, water, and fire) but also four seasons, which in Hebrew is called “moed,” or Appointment time.
Scientists at the Desert Research Institute (DRI) in Nevada have been developing cloud-seeding techniques for over 50 years. The practice has promising implications for water resource management, particularly in areas like Nevada, facing water scarcity issues due to drought.
Cloud seeding is a cost-effective solution to increase snowfall and augment water supplies. By introducing dust particles, specifically silver iodide, into clouds, cloud seeding enhances the formation of ice crystals necessary for precipitation. The process uses ground-based generators to release silver iodide aerosols into targeted storm cells.
Research dating back to the 1950s has demonstrated the success of cloud seeding, with modern studies indicating a significant increase in snowfall — up to 10 percent in cloud-seeded areas compared to non-seeded regions. Cloud seeding is an economical alternative to costly desalination projects at $10 per acre-foot compared to $2,000 for desalinated water.
In June 2023, Gov. Joe Lombardo signed Senate Bill 99, allocating $1.2 million to DRI for cloud seeding projects over the next two years. This funding will enable researchers to conduct further studies and expand cloud seeding efforts, ultimately increasing snowfall and runoff into Nevada’s river systems.
It is known that President Joe Biden wants to declare a National Climate Emergency this summer, as he is campaigning on the idea. There is a fear that it will result in lockdowns and limitations on travel, food, money, etc.
It is straight out of the playbook of the Committee of 300, a purported secret organization believed to be involved in global politics and economics. There is a lot of speculation and conspiracy theories about the Committee of 300, but nothing to prove its existence.
If bone fide, the Committee of 300 has engaged for years in a propaganda push to create the narrative that America is a leading cause of climate change and that the nation’s carbon footprint is disproportionate to the rest of the world. Meanwhile, China is approving new coal power projects at the equivalent of two plants every week — a rate energy watchdogs say is unsustainable if the country hopes to achieve its energy targets.
As this happens, the World Economic Forum is tightening a noose around America to remove the sovereignty threat the Constitution poses. Strategies they have deployed include the World Health Organization (WHO) with the International Health Regulations (IHR), a legally binding international agreement between 196 countries, including all WHO Member States, to collaborate and coordinate efforts to detect, prevent, and respond to International public health emergencies. Governed by the World Health Organization (WHO), the IHR includes provisions for surveillance, reporting, and response to public health emergencies, including pandemics.
The IHR was officially updated in 2005 to better address emerging infectious diseases and public health threats in a globalized world, however reading the treaty provides language that touches on DiseaseX; weather modification through HAARP, a high-frequency radio transmitter that consists of 180 antenna elements and directs energy into the ionosphere and space; the Paris Accords; cyber attacks on critical infrastructure; election interference; foreign money influence on Congress; members of Congress with dual citizenship; blackmailing from the Intelligence Community; endless wars; inflation to reduce purchasing power; and protests by ANTIFA and Palestinians, making the George Floyd protests look benign, pressing on subjects like global security, social justice, banking collapses and the limitations on access to cash; stock market index manipulation; fake numbers from agency government to give the illusion the economy is fine; food supply attacks leading to food insecurity and legacy media lying to the public.
In 2014, U.S. officials admitted that the High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, or HAARP, was genuine and could control the weather by injecting energy into the ionosphere to control and manage weather despite mainstream media and government officials calling it a “conspiracy theory.” During a 2016 Senate hearing, David Walker, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Science, Technology, and Engineering, claimed HAARP was in the process of being dismantled because it was no longer necessary.
Walker’s comments have fueled the belief that conspiracy theorists may be more accurate than previously believed.
It is not the first time public officials have acknowledged controlling the weather. Former Defense Secretary William Cohen stated in 1997 that terrorists could use electromagnetic waves to trigger earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and volcanic eruptions, revealing that weather control is a real threat.
Most recently, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) proposed research on weather modification techniques. Is it still a conspiracy theory if public officials and agencies admit it is true?
There are concerns that recent tornadoes in the United States are due to weather manipulation. Some suggest that Scalar Electromagnetics was used to charge the atmosphere.
Catherine Frompovich’s research on weather modification is interesting but makes for some rather dry reading. The late author proposed five essential components to manipulate the weather: advanced nonlinear modeling techniques, computational capability, information gathering and transmission, global sensor arrays, and weather intervention techniques.
There have also been reports of people experiencing a persistent cough after exposure to chemtrails, which are the visible trails left by airplanes that some people believe are used for weather manipulation.
Finally, there are the changes in Airbnb policies coming June 6. The online property rental company says it will provide cancellation and refund support for guests when unexpected events occur, including natural disasters, government travel restrictions, or weather events that could impact a renter’s ability to stay at a location.
It is also worth noting that Computex, the largest trade show in the world, is scheduled to take place in Taiwan during the same week.
On the other hand, June 6, 2024, will mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings during World War II. I bring this up because of the “10 Days of Darkness” scenario and the potential for World War III, where there will be a widespread blackout or internet shutdown for ten days, and during the period, the military will carry out mass arrests of high-profile individuals for their alleged involvement in corruption and other crimes.
Oddly, while there is no credible evidence to support this theory, it has been debunked by several sources, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which is responsible for coordinating the government’s response to disasters, stating that there is no evidence to suggest that such an event is imminent. Similarly, so-called fact-checking websites such as Snopes and PolitiFact have thoroughly researched and debunked the theory. Additionally, news organizations like the BBC, CNN, and The New York Times have reported on the theory and the lack of evidence to support it.
H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King’s horror stories are less frightening.
