										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img width="300" height="169" src="https://www.hopegirlblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/connecticut_diquat_pesticide-678x381-1-300x169.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="connecticut_diquat_pesticide-678x381" style="display: block; margin: auto; margin-bottom: 5px;max-width: 100%;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /><p><strong>Just days after the Fourth of July, lakes and rivers in Connecticut are scheduled to be sprayed with Diquat, a highly toxic chemical banned in Europe — and concerned citizens are sounding the alarm about what they are describing as </strong><em><strong>“coordinated ecological sabotage</strong>.”</em></p>
<p>The state has approved the use of the chemical under the pretense of targeting <em>hydrilla</em>, an invasive aquatic plant. But critics warn that the spraying campaign, backed by public funds and shadowed by financial interests, is a cover for something much more destructive.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p><em>“Connecticut is about to poison its own lakes and rivers with a highly toxic chemical called Diquat. And it seems like no one knows about it. It’s actually a coordinated plan that they’re about to roll out in states all over the country,”</em> said one source.</p>
<p>Carl Higbie on Newsmax was able to do more research and found Connecticut Democrats will begin spraying our lakes and rivers with the toxic chemical Diquat on Monday. He also found the company is owned by ChemChina.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">On Monday July 7th the government will spray toxic pesticides into our rivers and lakes in CT… and they are doing it in your state too, your just haven’t heard about it yet… SHOCKING:<a href="https://t.co/juqlnIBld6">pic.twitter.com/juqlnIBld6</a></p>
<p>— Carl Higbie (@CarlHigbie) <a href="https://twitter.com/CarlHigbie/status/1940544010617327911?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 2, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Diquat has a documented history of devastation. Video evidence from prior applications shows entire aquatic ecosystems dying within hours of exposure. Fish, plant life, and other organisms perish en masse — leaving behind what witnesses describe as <em>“dead water.”</em></p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p><em>“This particular chemical is banned in Europe and highly toxic to humans and wildlife alike. I’ve even heard landscapers refer to Diquat as the nuclear option,”</em> the source added.</p></blockquote>
<p>The public has not been widely informed. Notices of spraying have appeared quietly on government websites, with little media coverage and virtually no debate.</p>
<div class="code-block code-block-9">
<hr />
</div>
<p>According to concerned residents, state agencies claim Diquat is necessary to manage hydrilla, but there is growing suspicion that the invasive plant narrative is being used to justify a lucrative contract. Diquat spraying programs are often funded by environmental agencies with federal or state grants — and those involved reportedly stand to profit significantly.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p><em>“Of course, when you start to follow the money, you see how this plan has huge state funding and therefore is lining a whole lot of pockets. There’s quite a few players involved, and they really don’t want us to know who they are and what their involvement is.”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Critics have compiled names and contact information for individuals and agencies they believe are behind the initiative — an effort to bring transparency to a plan they describe as <em>“coordinated ecological sabotage.”</em></p>
<p>Environmental experts have warned of Diquat’s severe toxicity. The herbicide is known to cause neurological, liver, and kidney damage in humans and is particularly lethal to fish, amphibians, and waterfowl. Residue can linger in sediment and drinking water sources.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“This is not a partisan issue. It’s downright evil,” said the whistleblower. “If you kill the water, you kill everything.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Despite warnings, the spraying schedule remains in place, with Connecticut serving as the starting point for what many fear will become a nationwide program.</p>
<p>Activists are urging immediate public opposition, calling on residents to contact state legislators, local environmental boards, and media outlets before the plan goes into effect.</p>
<p>The question remains: Who benefits from poisoning America’s waterways — and will the public stop it in time?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img width="300" height="159" src="https://www.hopegirlblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/deutsche-run-on-banks-hopegirl-blog-300x159.png" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="deutsche-run-on-banks-hopegirl-blog" style="display: block; margin: auto; margin-bottom: 5px;max-width: 100%;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /><p>As the <em>Free Thought Project</em> reported Thursday, the most prominent bank in Germany is at risk of failure, with potentially profound effects for the EU, the United States and likely the rest of the world. This risk of failure has now gotten so threatening that a number of funds that clear derivatives trades with Deutsche Bank AG have withdrawn excess cash and positions held at the lender, according to <em>Bloomberg</em>.</p>
<p>While the vast majority of the bank’s more than 200 derivatives-clearing clients have made no changes, the hedge funds run on cash highlights serious concern. The paranoia of an imminent collapse spread to the US on Thursday as 10 hedge funds that are Deutsche Bank clients have decided to withdraw cash and listed derivatives positions from the bank, according to a <em>Bloomberg News</em> report.</p>
<p>Millennium Partners, Capula Investment Management and Rokos Capital Management are among about 10 hedge funds that have cut their exposure, said a person familiar with the situation who declined to be identified talking about confidential client matters.</p>
<p>The hedge funds use Deutsche Bank to clear their listed derivatives transactions because they are not members of clearinghouses. Millennium, Capula and Rokos declined to comment when contacted by phone or e-mail.</p>
<p>These funds use Deutsche Bank’s prime brokerage to clear their derivatives trades, reports <em>Bloomberg.</em> They post collateral as a sort of insurance in case they run into trouble — but now they appear to worry that Deutsche Bank is the one in trouble. So they are withdrawing some of their derivatives holdings and excess collateral above what Deutsche Bank requires them to hold.</p>
<p>As <em>Zero Hedge</em> points out, this massive withdrawal of cash has led to a sharp increase in short-term CDS.</p>
<p>“Our trading clients are amongst the world’s most sophisticated investors,” Michael Golden, a spokesman for Deutsche Bank, said in an e-mailed statement.</p>
<p>“We are confident that the vast majority of them have a full understanding of our stable financial position, the current macroeconomic environment, the litigation process in the U.S. and the progress we are making with our strategy.”</p>
<p>But this is simply not true. Deutsche Bank is anything but stable as their shares have fallen sharply on the news that German Chancellor Angela Merkel won’t bail them out. Its shares fell by as much as six percent in early Monday trading, making it the worst performance since 1992. Since January, the bank’s shares have lost over 52 percent of their value.</p>
<p>As news of the bank run spread on Thursday, the ‘stable’ bank’s shares declined below 10 euros for the first time. The lender’s 1.75 billion euros ($2 billion) of 6 percent additional Tier 1 bonds, the first notes to take losses in a crisis, fell as much as five cents on the euro to 69 cents, a record low, according to data compiled by <em>Bloomberg.</em></p>
<p>“The issue here is now one of confidence,” said Chris Wheeler, a financial analyst with Atlantic Equities LLP in London. “That’s what’s going on here. The thinking is ‘Deutsche Bank is fine, but there’s a slim chance it might not be, so why leave my money in there?’”</p>
<p>The possibility of depositors having their funds taken from them as the bank collapses is not at all isolated as it has happened before. As we pointed out, to keep the bank solvent, the Bank of Cyprus took almost 40% of depositors’ funds – leaving customers with essentially nothing they could do about having their money stolen. Assets were frozen and ATM machines were not refilled.</p>
<p>As Jay Syrmopoulos points out, the collapse of Deutsche Bank would most likely begin a cascade of Western banking institutions falling like dominoes (which could include Barclays in London and CitiGroup in the U.S.). According to same expert who valued Lehman’s worth at its collapse, Deutsche Bank’s current value of $1 trillion dollars is significantly more than Lehman Brothers’ valuation during their collapse in 2008.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>The Hopegirl Fix the World (FTW) Australia tour was a smashing success! Though my intention was to blog from the road, the trip was absolutely jam packed with activities and it was difficult to find the time. To follow up, this is one post in a series of blog posts intended to give a full reporting of the amazing discoveries that were made on our trip to help fix our world. FTW Council member Peppi Meikle from New Zealand and Hopegirl from America spent three amazing weeks traveling the East Coast of Australia. We met over 200 people in person, slept in 7 peoples homes, held 4 community meetings, met with business advisors, discovered and met with amazing planet changing project managers and made deep connections with some new important partners. Our biggest heartfelt thanks goes out to all of the people who funded us on our crowdfunding campaign. If it wasn’t for all of you, this trip and all of the planet changing discoveries that will affect all of us and help fix our world would have not been possible. The full series of blog post links can be found at the bottom of the page (once fully updated).</em></p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><em>HopeGirl and Peppi Meikle of the Fix the World Organization Tour Australia to uncover planet changing projects for the people. </em></p>
<p>On our tour we held 4 Fix the World Community meetings in different locations throughout the East Coast of Australia. They ranged in size and the people that attended all created a different energy in the group. Our format was rather simple. Peppi and I presented the story of the Fix the World Organization and gave a good overview of the tools that we have made available to help the people turn their ideas into a reality. We then conducted a fun team building exercise where we split into groups to work together and plan a mock project camping trip to one of three exotic locations: the Amazon, Mt. Everest, or Morocco. This project management activity was a quick way to break the ice, allow people to get to know each other and discover what its like to work together to accomplish a common goal.  Everyone had a lot of fun and there were plenty of laughs to go around.</p>

<p><em>Left to right: FTW meeting in Melbourne group with 20 attendees from the local community. Groups discussing their project plans and learning to work together. Roxanne brought some handmade gift fairies to give away as part of her project idea to combine recycling materials with the therapy of arts and crafts for people in the community.</em></p>
<p>What followed next was indeed our favorite part of the meetings. We created a space and went around the room allowing each person to speak about their passions, visions and ideas. What happened next was magic. People starting meeting other people that shared the same passion and ideas, phone numbers were exchanged, meetings between them occurred later on and major collaboration began to take place with people that lived in the same communities whom had never met each other before. And the best part of all of this was the caliber of the ideas that were flying around the room. Many of the people there had extensive background and knowledge in some pretty big arena’s. Future leaders in sustainable healthy non- industrial food supply met and teamed up. Builders of a new sustainable society came with blueprints of villages and eco-friendly design. Future leaders in alternative education methods found each other at last. Musicians that all studied the healing frequencies of music all ended up in the same meeting… I see a future healing concert in our future! The ideas spread so quickly with little effort at all. Every person at this meeting was ready to take their vision to the next level.</p>

<p><em>Left to Right: FTW meeting in Paramatta held at the business of our beautiful Maori host Turikatuku Gumada. HopeGirl and Turikatuku Gumada. Brainstorming in action. Peppi Meikle, HopeGirl and two respected elders of the Maori people Dave Eden and Chaz Horpi. </em></p>
<p>When  you stood in those rooms and observed what was taking place in front of you, you could see plain as day that the global evolution was beginning right here, right now in that room. When our full planetary transition takes place and we read about it in our new history books, these meetings will be at the beginning of our paradigm shifting story. Every person there was awake. Every person there was aware of the corrupt crumbling system and had a solution ready to go. Every person there was a planet changer who stood up when the call came.</p>
