Green governments are cracking down on chemical fertilizer. The result? Hunger.

The Greens’ New Target

In Sri Lanka people rioted when the country slipped into extreme poverty. Why did it happen? Here’s one big reason: the government banned chemical fertilizer.

Environmental activists say nitrogen fertilizers shouldn’t be used, and Sri Lanka’s president listened. As a result, farms produced much less food, and food prices have risen 80%. Have the “green” activists learned from this? No. They continue to push for a chemical free world.

“It’s out of control” says environmentalist Michael Shellenberger, “completely unnecessary.” In the video below, he explains how this green dogma would lead to mass starvation.

One Year, Big Results! How Javier Milei Freed Markets, and Reduced Inflation

Published on January 28, 2025

By John Stossel

One year ago, libertarian Javier Milei was elected president of Argentina. How has it worked out?

Amazingly well! In his first year, Milei has already cut government spending by 30%, eliminated entire ministries, fired thousands of government workers, slashed subsidies, and deregulated the economy.

Today, inflation is down, the federal budget is in surplus, and the country’s housing shortage crisis is over. “When Milei came into power,” says Ian Vasquez of the Cato Institute, “There was 40% poverty rate. There was an annual inflation of over 200%.

Now inflation is down. The economy started to recover… Milei is showing that his libertarian policies are working.” Years of big government had left Argentina in crisis.

Pundits and the media claimed Milei couldn’t fix any of that. They were wrong. Milei’s success shows that freedom works! Maybe our politicians will learn from him.

After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.

The ESG Collapse: Al Gore, Intel, BlackRock, and the Failed Promise of “Sustainable” Investing

Published on January 23, 2025

From StosselTV

For years, investment firms pressured companies to hire people of certain races and genders, and pushed “sustainability.” That has hurt returns.

Investments that claim to be “sustainable” have been underperforming. It’s because companies that embrace “ESG” woke investing end up prioritizing politics over innovation.

Intel, once a leader in the tech world, wasted millions on ESG goals. Now, it lags behind its competitors. Its stock is down more than 70%. “You have a company that’s absolutely failing!” Says Matt Cole, CEO of Strive investment managing.

Even BlackRock, which led the “ESG” push, now backs away from ESG investments. “What you’re seeing today,” says Cole, “is ESG funds shuttering at record speed.”

Our new video explains why.

After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.
