First, there’s the Environmental Crimes Law, SB5360. Gives the State power to arrest Farmers for small “Environmental” infractions.

Washington State Democrats are preparing to pass Senate Bill 5360, The Environmental Crimes Bill

This will give Democrats the power to prosecute farmers for minor environmental crimes “The environmental crimes bill. This would give the Attorney General unprecedented power to investigate, prosecute and incarcerate farmers and ranchers, holding them personally liable for minor environmental crimes”

Then, once they get rid of all the pesky farmers, they go after the rest of us. Yes, that’s the rest of us (who haven’t moved out of the state yet).

The Dangers of Nick Brown’s “Agency Request” bills.

The Attorney General wants to assemble a secretive force of investigators, including foreign visa holders, with expanded powers and hidden identities. In Washington State, this dystopian scenario isn’t mere speculation—it’s the potential reality brewing under a suite of bills requested by Washington Attorney General Nick Brown. These proposals, cloaked in the language of efficiency and inclusivity, could fundamentally reshape the balance of power, tipping it toward an unaccountable executive branch at the expense of transparency and constitutional protections.

The four bills in question—SB-5068, HB-2156, HB-2096, and HB-2161/SB-5925—form a coordinated package, with most originating from requests by AG Brown. On the surface, they appear benign: expanding hiring pools, clarifying investigative authorities, providing identity protections for investigators, and granting tools to probe constitutional violations. But dig deeper, and a pattern emerges. SB-5068 opens law enforcement roles to foreign nationals on visas, HB-2156 grants new powers to AG investigators, HB-2096 shrouds them in secrecy, and HB-2161, with its Senate companion bill SB-5925, arms the AG with broad civil investigative mandates. Together, they risk creating a clandestine enforcement arm within the AG’s office; one that operates with minimal oversight and could be staffed by individuals whose allegiances are temporary, divided, or beholden.

These bills threaten core principles of limited government, citizen primacy, and transparent governance. Our founding documents emphasize that power derives from the people: U.S. citizens who swear undivided loyalty to the Constitution. Yet these measures could erode that foundation, introducing foreign influence into sensitive state operations while amplifying the opacity already plaguing Washington’s government. If passed by the legislature and signed by the Governor, they threaten not just administrative overreach, but the potential targeting of ideological or political opponents. In a state where one party holds dominant control, this suite of bills creates the framework for a powerful, potentially partisan secret force that could be weaponized against dissenters. Government should serve the people openly, not hide in the shadows while expanding its grasp.

This isn’t hyperbole. Recent Democrat history of secrecy controversies, particularly around “legislative privilege,” underscores the risks. Lawmakers have repeatedly invoked dubious legal shields to withhold public records, fostering a culture of non-transparency that could easily extend to the AG’s office under these bills. A 2024 opinion piece in the Tacoma News Tribune questioned, “Should Washington legislators be allowed to employ a dubious legal theory called ‘legislative privilege’ to withhold documents from the public?” This practice, rampant in the Democrat majority House and Senate, has drawn widespread criticism for complicating the state’s Public Records Act and evading accountability. AG Brown, a Democrat himself embroiled in a controversy over dismissing fraud allegations as “baseless” despite audits revealing millions in unaccounted funds, adds to the concern. The stage is set for these bills to exacerbate an already troubling trend.

This is truly horrifying. The Attorney General of Washington, who should be helping citizens with their problems, and supporting them when they have issues with businesses, or need legal advice, is heavily planning to spy on, persecute, and investigate citizens for opposing the tyrannical government apparatus that he is going about building. The primary activity of the AG in the last year has been suing the Trump administration for anything he can get his hands on, preventing our President for carrying out the mandate that the Citizens of America elected him for.

Now, the AG is turning his wrath on law-abiding farmers and ordinary citizens, just going about their daily tasks of earning a living and raising their children. The horrific bill SB5599, which authorizes schools and the State to literally kidnap children and “transition” them without parental notification or consent, has already put parents behind the 8-ball, teaching children to keep secrets from parents, and believe that they were “born in the wrong body”. Kids are sexualized from kindergarten, when they should be learning their words, colors, and numbers; their childhood is being taken from them by the many perverts disguised as teachers.

And this is how the all-powerful State helps drug-addicted citizens.

And to think, they call it “Harm-Reduction”!!

Where YOUR money is going:

Remember when British Columbia gave land title under citizens’ private property away to Indian tribes? Well, Washington State is doing the same. Here’s commentary on that.

Washington State Feb. 23, 2026 From my understanding of what is really going on in Washington State, this bill correlates with the “Cascadia Innovation Corridor,” which is part of their PLAN to SECEDE from the United States and join British Columbia, Canada, together with Oregon.

Next, the electricity crisis bearing down on Washington State that few people are aware of at all.

The Electric Plank Walk – How EV and AI Energy Requirements Will Ruin Your Livelihood

Washington state households should brace for $850 — $1,500+ in additional annual electricity costs per household in the coming years from the combined pressures of the EV mandate and surging AI/data center demand — no offsets considered.

This gross burden includes $520 — $900+ yearly for charging one typical EV (adding ~33% to household usage via ~325 extra kWh/month at rising rates), plus $300 — $600+ amortized share of the $17 — $25 billion in needed grid upgrades and maintenance. For PSE customers (the majority in the state), recent and projected rate hikes compound this: effective residential rates have climbed sharply, with forecasts pointing to 5 — 10%+ annual increases in kWh pricing through the late 2020s and into the 2030s (some analyses eye even steeper trajectories, like 10%+ in PSE territory amid clean-energy compliance and load growth). Cumulative hikes since 2023 already exceed 30% for many, with approved ~12% jumps in both 2025 and 2026 alone (adding $13 — $17/month per typical 800 kWh bill each year). Without major supply additions or strict cost allocation to big loads, per-kWh rates could push toward 20 — 25 ¢ by the mid-2030s, turning modest added usage into hundreds more dollars annually.

As of February 2026, Washington state residents face an unprecedented squeeze on their household energy budgets and grid reliability. The state’s aggressive zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate — requiring 100% of new light-duty vehicle sales to be electric or qualifying plug-in hybrids by model year 2035, with ramps hitting 35% in 2026 — combines with explosive AI-driven data center demand to create a perfect storm. Without fuel offsets, rebates, or credits, the result is clear: skyrocketing electricity rates that could price average families out of affordable home power, while a hyper-strained grid risks rolling blackouts that threaten the ability to heat homes in winter or cool them in summer.

The EV mandate alone forces massive infrastructure spending. State assessments from the Department of Commerce and ICF project $17.3 billion to $25 billion in distribution grid upgrades (transformers, substations, feeders) needed through 2035 — 2050 to support millions of EVs. This equates to 4 — 7 GW of additional local capacity across 1,200+ utility circuits. Even with optimistic “managed charging” (shifting plugs to off-peak hours), costs hit $17.3 billion. Unmanaged “nameplate” charging pushes it to $25 billion.

Washington has roughly 3.06 million households. Amortizing the midpoint $21 billion over 20 years means $340 — $410 per household annually in gross infrastructure costs recovered through rates — no exceptions for non-EV owners. For a typical home adding one EV (the +33% usage scenario: ~325 extra kWh/month for 13,000 annual miles at real-world efficiency), the picture worsens. At current effective residential rates of 14 — 16.5 ¢/kWh in Puget Sound Energy (PSE) territory — the state’s largest utility serving over a million customers — this adds $520 — $625/year in pure charging electricity. Layer on the infrastructure share and ongoing maintenance, and the per-household burden climbs to $850 — $1,200+ per year by the mid-2030s. That’s before any further rate hikes.

Rates are already exploding. PSE customers endured over 30% cumulative increases since 2023, including an 11.5 — 12% jump in 2025 (~$13/month added for 800 kWh use) and another ~12% effective January 1, 2026 (~$17/month more). For a 1,000 kWh household, bills have jumped from ~$115/month pre-surge to $170+/month today. Statewide averages sit at 13 — 14 ¢/kWh, but PSE-area effective rates feel far higher, with analysts forecasting 5 — 10%+ annual increases continuing through 2030 as utilities recover clean-energy compliance, wildfire hardening, and new capacity. By 2035, some projections eye 20 — 25 ¢/kWh. A +33% EV load at those rates turns the charging add-on into $790 — $900/year alone — pure added cost with no offsets.

Meanwhile, AI and data centers represent the faster, larger near-term threat. The Northwest Power and Conservation Council’s 2025 — 2026 load forecasts show tech loads (data centers + chip fabs) as the dominant driver of demand growth, potentially adding 2,200 — 4,800 average MW regionally by 2029 — equivalent to powering 2 — 4 cities the size of Seattle. High scenarios reach 6,500 aMW by 2046. Washington’s share is massive, concentrated in Grant and Chelan counties and Puget Sound. This surge has already contributed heavily to recent wholesale cost spikes (up 59% in some PSE metrics) and the rate hikes.

The combined EV + AI load growth collides with a supply crisis. A major E3 Consulting study (commissioned by regional utilities) projects a resource adequacy gap opening in 2026 at ~1.3 GW and exploding to nearly 9 GW by 2030 across the broader Pacific Northwest — roughly the entire load of Oregon. Washington’s portion is several gigawatts. In dry hydro years (the state’s dominant cheap source) plus multi-day winter cold snaps, the shortfall triggers rolling blackouts. Loss-of-load probability could more than double. Existing coal retirements, hydro variability, and slow new resource builds (only ~3 GW in active development against the 9 GW need) leave the grid hyper-vulnerable. Homes relying on electric heat pumps for heating or cooling — encouraged by the same clean-energy policies — face direct risk of outages precisely when they need power most.

For the average Washington household (already seeing $150 — $200+ extra annually from recent hikes alone), this “insanity” means hundreds to over a thousand dollars yearly in unavoidable gross cost increases, plus blackout anxiety. Lower- and fixed-income families, where energy burden already exceeds 5 — 10% of income, will be hit hardest — potentially forced to cut essentials or face service risks. The EV mandate doesn’t retire existing gas cars overnight, but the infrastructure bill arrives now. Data centers, meanwhile, get built with urgency while residential bills subsidize the upgrades.

Washington policymakers in Olympia live in a fantasy world, detached from the struggles of actual working families. They push aggressive mandates and policies without regard for the real-world harm inflicted—higher bills, strained budgets, and reliability risks—because they can simply tax and rate-hike residents as much as needed, facing little personal accountability for the fallout they cause.

The dual EV mandate and AI power-grab aren’t distant threats — they’re here, reshaping bills and blacking out futures in real time — courtesy of the tyrannical and totalitarian overlords who are pocketing the money and reapportioning your livelihood to special-interests and fringe-ideology benefactors.

Welcome to the Matrix, where your live-warm-bodies are the meal and everything you see around you is a mirage.

So they get you coming, going, and just sitting in your house or at your desk at work. It will be a wonder if anyone in Washington, not connected with the Government, will have any money left after taxes and energy bills. With businesses indicating that the income tax will prompt them to leave, jobs go first. Then people leave to follow the jobs. Soon, the only people left in Washington will be the homeless, drug addicts, Indians on their reservations, and government employees. Then, where will the Government get its money?
