Upstate NY mayor charged with crack possession after police pursuit

 

The mayor of a small upstate New York village was arrested Tuesday for allegedly possessing crack cocaine, cops said.

 

Massena Mayor Tim Currier was busted after a brief police pursuit through the village near the Canadian border at about 12:25 p.m., according to authorities.

 

Currier, 55, was targeted as part of an undercover investigation of drug sales and possession, the St. Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office said.

 

As Currier was fleeing police, he is accused of chucking one gram of crack out a passenger window.

 

He was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, tampering with physical evidence and failure to comply with a police officer.

 

The mayor was arraigned remotely on Tuesday and ordered by Morristown Town Justice James Phillips to reappear at a later date.

 

Currier has been Massena’s mayor since 2014. Before that, he was chief of the Massena Police Department.

AUDIO: CNN President Demanded Network Editorialize Trump as Crazy, Erratic, Using Steroids

 

"We need to not normalise that"

 

In leaked audio, CNN President Jeff Zucker can be heard instructing the network to editoralise President Trump as crazy, erratic, and using steroids.

 

Investigative journalist James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas gained access to the morning call conducted by CNN journalists for seemingly months before the presidential election in November, and have been able to leak audio from those calls with top CNN staff members.

 

In the morning call dated 9th October, CNN President Jeff Zucker can be heard telling staff that they must not “normalize” the crazy and “erratic” behavior of President Trump, who Zucker alleges may be suffering with symptoms related to steroids:

 

I just want to re-emphasize that, you know, I think we cannot normalize what has happened here in the last week with Trump and his behavior… This is a President who knows he’s losing, who knows he’s in trouble, is sick (with coronavirus), maybe is on, the after effects of steroids or not, I don’t know. But he is acting erratically and desperately, and we need to not normalize that… This is what we’ve come to expect for the last three and a half, four years, but it clearly is exacerbated by the time that we’re in and the issues that he’s dealing with. And I think we cannot just let it be normalized. He is all over the place and acting erratically, and I think we need to lean into that.

 

Zucker was also caught instructing his staff members to hype up every single scandal that President Trump faced in the run up to the election. “Each of these so called scandals for Trump. Each of these things, we should just once again be careful to say that this is the one that is going to undo him with his voters,” Zucker said.

 

“I don’t know why we would expect any of these politicians to have a conscience and/or expect the politics wouldn’t be completely hypocritical,” Zucker said in the call on the morning of 21st September. “And for us to expect anything else would be naive.” The context of this call is unclear, but with the timing, it may relate to the replacement of the late Justice Ginsburg on the Supreme Court by congressional Republicans.

 

Zucker can be further heard on various calls saying that they should not report news that favored President Trump such as Attorney General Bill Barr’s unmasking probe, as they are just “unsubstantiated smears,” and they need to go “well after” Senator Lindsey Graham for defending President Trump after the election.

In the first tape, Project Veritas revealed that CNN had been given their marching orders by the Democrat Party to cover up President Trump’s legal challenges on the legitimacy of the election. As National File reported:

 

In the Project Veritas audio, CNN Special Correspondent Jamie Gangel says, “I have been hearing the same thing both from Republicans who have not come out to congratulate Biden, but also to those who have and Democrats who have and the Democrats, and that is that we have to be, you know, news organizations have to be very careful and very responsible about not giving Trump too much of a platform on his not conceding because they feel the transition can go forward.”

 

“And you know, other than the national security briefings, which are critical to start now, they just don’t want us to exaggerate that Trump isn’t leaving office,” Gangel says in regards to the Democrat Party…

 

CNN Field Producer Stephanie Becker goes to recommend that the network craft a narrative that a Trump refusal to transition would be akin to letting the 9/11 terror attacks happen: “So, if you want a good, concrete example of what happens when you don’t have a good transition, well, look at the twin towers.”

Musk: Electric Cars Will Require a Lot More Electric Power Than We Currently Have

 

Tesla CEO Elon Musk says we’ll need more electricity to power cars like his. A lot more.

 

Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said on Tuesday that electricity consumption will double if the world’s car fleets are electrified, increasing the need to expand nuclear, solar, geothermal and wind energy generating sources.

 

Increasing the availability of sustainable energy is a major challenge as cars move from combustion engines to battery-driven electric motors, a shift which will take two decades, Musk said in a talk hosted by Berlin-based publisher Axel Springer.

 

There’s no unicorn energy source or free lunch. Currently, electric cars are primarily powered by coal, natural gas, and nuclear. Those are the sources we use to generate electricity, after all, according to the Energy Information Agency. Renewables are growing but still account for less than 20% of U.S. electricity.

 

There’s no free lunch when it comes to renewable energy source, which may not even be all that renewable. Wind and sun are free, but the means of generating power from them are not.

 

They require batteries, which requires extensive mining and the use of toxic chemicals.

 

Mining is a dirty business.

 

Weighing those trade-offs — between supporting mining in environmentally sensitive areas and sourcing metals needed to power renewables — is likely to become more common if countries continue generating more renewable energy. That’s according to a report out Wednesday from researchers at the Institute for Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology Sydney in Australia. The report, commissioned by the environmental organization Earthworks, finds that demand for metals such as copper, lithium and cobalt would skyrocket if countries around the world try to get their electric grids and transportation systems fully powered by renewable energy by 2050. Consequently, a rush to meet that demand could lead to more mining in countries with lax environmental and safety regulations and weak protections for workers.

 

“If not managed responsibly, this has the potential for new adverse environmental and social impacts,” the report says.

 

Musk is being a realist, which is refreshing. He recognizes the simple fact that more electric cars will require more electric generation. Electric cars are seen by too many as some escape from the ways we currently run our cars. But they’re not. At best, electric cars currently just transfer where the energy gets created, from burning dead dinosaurs the inside of the vehicle itself to burning them someplace else. But for the most part, something is still being burned somewhere to make Teslas move.
