Here is the full documentary, "Thrown to the Wind." It contains and explains all of the scientific evidence. The government agencies have refused to conduct the necessary research and are working with the media, paid off by the industry, to spread disinformation.

The science is clear. The increased wind industry boat traffic is behind the whale deaths. Scientists have also documented illegal, high-decibel noise, which separates mothers from babies. The Biden administration is covering up the evidence for money.

The media is ridiculing Trump for saying that wind turbines are killing the whales. But they are. There were 12 whale deaths off the East Coast in December alone. The North Atlantic right whale species will go extinct unless the Trump administration acts to end the slaughter.

The statement accuses the wind industry and media of spreading disinformation about whale deaths, suggesting corruption and lack of proper research by government agencies. It presents a strong, accusatory tone and claims to provide proof of these allegations.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement could potentially cause harm by spreading unverified claims, which may influence public opinion negatively against the wind industry and media. [-2]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    It accuses media and government agencies of corruption without providing concrete evidence, potentially disrespecting their privacy and dignity. [-2]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding or empathy, as it focuses on blame rather than constructive dialogue. [-1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement lacks constructive criticism and engages in personal attacks, particularly towards media and government agencies. [-2]
