WE DON'T DO IT ALL, BUT WE DO IT ALL "FOR GOOD"

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

Chuckleheads on Parade

As you may be aware, the 2023 climate summit was conducted in December in Dubai. As you may also be aware, it was hailed for milestone achievements such as … uh … well, one of the members called for … oh, what was that? … doggone it. Never mind. It was something about suckers and chumps. But it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that a gaggle of our unimaginably wealthy and utterly detached-from-reality betters got together to make decisions about redistributing the world’s wealth for their own benefit and at the expense of the world’s poor.

As Bloomberg reported on the summit’s monumental accomplishments:

Countries … are called to contribute to a global transition effort — rather than being outright compelled to make that shift on their own.

Translation: Since we haven’t been able to stuff this shit down your throats or even come close to spit-balling the cost of it, we’re going to offer some catastrophic suggestion and hope your respective governments have better luck strongarming you than we did.

They called their little gathering, COP28. COP, as you know, stands for Chuckleheads on Parade; although, most of the parading those Chuckleheads do takes place on the fossil-fueled, carbon-emitting private jets they’d have us believe were dooming the planet if we were flying on them. Oddly enough, none of them ever look terribly nervous about such an eventuality. Go figure.

Errors look so very ugly in persons of small means — one feels they are taking quite a liberty in going astray; whereas people of fortune may naturally indulge in a few delinquencies. (George Eliot, Janet’s Repentance)

Pay No Attention to the Man Behind the Curtain

In order to redistribute wealth, further enrich themselves, impoverish, freeze, starve, and subjugate as many countries and people as they can according to The Grand Global Plan, the Chuckleheads are pulling levers, pressing buttons, and stepping on pedals behind the curtain with the feverish desperation of Joe Biden trying to distance himself from complicity in Hunter’s guilt.

Why are the Chuckleheads so feverishly desperate? For the same reason all crooks are feverishly desperate: If the truth comes out, they’re cooked. What truth? For starters, here’s what Mark Mills wrote in Real Clear Markets:

Since Y2k we’ve seen over $5 trillion of global spending on wind and solar and similar efforts to avoid hydrocarbons. That did reduce hydrocarbons’ share of world energy, but by just two percentage points. And the quantity, not share, of hydrocarbons consumed globally has increased by an amount equal, in energy-equivalent terms, to adding six Saudi Arabia’s worth of oil output. Those two decades of spending has led to solar and wind combined supplying just under 4% of world energy. For context: burning wood still supplies 10%.

As Robin Williams famously said, “Reality. What a concept.”

What You Don’t Know Will Hurt You

My friend, Charlotte Wittenkamp, shared an insightful post from Experimental History called, “There are no statistics in the Kingdom of God”, by Adam Mastroianni. (Thank you, Charlotte.) In it, Mastroianni argues against the notion of things being random. Rather, he suggests, we dismiss things as random because we don’t know — or don’t care to explore — cause and effect. He writes this:

If you think it’s random, it’s because you have no idea what’s going on. And that’s fine, there’s no shame in not knowing stuff. But you shouldn’t assume that just because the conversation makes no sense to you, it must not make sense at all … The lesson here is things seem random until you understand ’em … your brain doesn’t just peek out through your eyes and behold the world as it is; it adds a lot of assumptions to make incoming visual information more meaningful.

And that, of course, brings us to climate (and every other globalist agenda). The absence of randomness, the failure to explore, the political determination to settle science, the contrivance of climate models (see Michael “Youda” Mann below), the manipulation of data, the lust for power, the lack of concern for humanity (starting with the least economically advantaged), and our lack of concern for our own sovereignty caused and continue to exacerbate the climate panic and the green energy schemes that are being shoved down our throats, emptying our wallets, and decimating our power grids.

What contrived models and manipulated data? Here’s a sample, derived from an examination of Youda Mann’s infamous Hockey Stick graph:

The “Hockey Stick” is the graph that took the world of climate science by storm … The authors claimed … to take a new statistical approach to reconstructing global patterns of annual temperature … based on the calibration of multiproxy data networks by the dominant patterns of temperature variability in the instrumental record … the “Hockey Stick” — that was the perfect icon to sell global warming fear to the public … The Medieval Warm period … had disappeared. The clear implication was that the earth had had a benign and unchanging climate for about a thousand years, and now humans had entered the picture with their fossil fuels and were rapidly destabilizing the situation … Mann’s [flatly refused] to share publicly the data and methodology by which he constructed the Hockey Stick graph … a very talented Canadian mathematician named Steve McIntyre began an effort to replicate the Mann/Bradley/Hughes work. McIntyre started with a request to Mann to provide the underlying data and methodologies (computer programming) that generated the graph. To his surprise, McIntyre was met not with prompt compliance (which would be the sine qua non of actual science) but rather with hostility and evasion … he gradually established that Mann et al. had adopted a complex methodology that selectively emphasized certain temperature proxies over others in order to reverse-engineer the “shaft” of the stick to get a pre-determined desired outcome.

Oh, well. Nothing to see here, kids. Let’s start building more wind turbines to tilt at.

The Next Wave

The Chuckleheads are about to be fully exposed on the climate/green-energy hoax. And the global power-grab that was COVID has been shown the light of day and the door. So, now, according to reports leaked from the World Health Organization (WHO?), the next planned … uh … possible pandemic is Acute Bonkus of the Konkus. But it’s not like any of the other conspiratorial hoaxes to which we’ve recently been subject. Uh uh. Not this one.

It’s not being developed in a lab. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is neither involved nor providing funding. Tony Fauci won’t be its Designated Liar (DL). Uncle Klaus’s World Economic Forum (WEF) won’t be overseeing the proliferation of its panic-inducing control. The IPCC won’t be republishing all the fictitious evidence from all the specious models it can find. And the International Monetary Fund (IMF) won’t be providing bail money for the Chuckleheads and all the other cabalistic crooks involved. That must be true because everyone one of them promised. Plus, they pinky swore.

Don’t fall for it. As long as we keep taking the bait, they’ll keep casting their lines.

We do our work so well that seven of the companies (brands) we’ve represented have been acquired by other companies. OCG is different because our business model is different. We don’t bill by the hour or the project. We don’t bill by time or materials. We don’t mark anything up. We don’t take media commissions. We pass through every expense incurred on behalf of our clients at net. We scope the work, price the work, put beginning and end dates on our engagements, and charge flat, consistent fees every month for the terms of the engagements. I’m also a writer by calling and an Irish storyteller by nature. In addition to writing posts for my company’s blog, I’m a frequent publisher on LinkedIn and Medium. And I’ve published three books for children, numerous short stories, and other works, all of which are available on Amazon under my full name, Mark Nelson O’Brien.
