“They will CONTROL everything you do very soon.” (VIDEO) with Whitney Webb – Redacted  – VERY GOOD LISTEN WITH WHITNEY AS USUAL. A MUST WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marxist Health Officials Want You Committed – “One of the more insidious features of Marxism’s manipulation of language is its stigmatization of opposing points of view as some form of mental disorder. Opposition to “gay marriage” is said to be a “sign” of homophobia. Distrusting Islamic terrorists who celebrate 9/11 and shout, “Death to America,” is a “symptom” of Islamophobia. Wanting the federal government to secure our borders and enforce existing immigration law “reveals” underlying xenophobia. Not wanting biological men to force their way into ladies’ locker-rooms and showers suggests that a person “suffers” from dreaded transphobia. Notice that all these purported psychiatric disorders are categorized as “phobias,” or more plainly, as “irrational fears.”” – J.B. Shurk  – ANOTHER FORM OF CONTROL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From Bird Flu to Climate Snakes – “Seasoned veterinarians and livestock producers alike have been scratching their heads trying to understand the media’s response to the avian flu. Headlines across every major news outlet warn of humans becoming infected with the “deadly” bird flu after one reported case of pink-eye in a human. The entire narrative is predicated upon a long-disputed claim that Covid-19 was the result of a zoonotic jump—the famed Wuhan bat wet-market theory.” – Breeauna Sagdal

Emergency-O-Rama – ” The tiny glowing diode deep in “Joe Biden’s” brain dims a bit more each day (pause) while low men and women in high places trifle with the fate of the nation. Everyone dreads what’s coming. Which, judging by events of the week just past, looks like a worse summer of civil chaos than 2020 was. Some entity — say, the checkbook of George and Alex Soros, maybe? — has funded the spring mustering of student mobs in support of Hamas seeking to drive wicked Israel into the choppy Mediterranean. What you’re seeing, though, is probably not what you think you are seeing in all that. The kids are mere digits in a cultural algorithm playing out as New Age dumbshow.” – James Howard Kunstler

George Soros-Connected Groups Paying for Antisemitic Campus Protests, Calling for Revolution – “George Soros, through his veritable octopus of activist groups, has never seen a leftist, anti-American cause that he wouldn’t support, no matter how vile, hateful, or loathsome. So it doesn’t come as a terrible surprise to learn that Soros-funded groups are sticking their finger in the witch’s brew of antisemitic campus “protests” by paying organizers who are openly calling for violent revolution. (Is there any other kind of revolution?)” – Ward Clark – FUNNY HOW MR SOROS ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE CONNECTED TO VIOLENT RIOTS AND PROTESTS, YET HE IS NEVER CHARGED WITH ANYTHING. EVER WONDER WHY. PERHAPS IT’S ALL PRE-PLANNED!!!

ANTI-WAR Protests Ignite across University Campuses – “WILD and WOOLY! Campus anti-War protesters are erupting – and Biden just lost another demographic big time! State governors getting into the fray was a YUGE mistake – and will cost a loss of voting demographics. Strategic ERROR in an election year. Word is that Netanyahu gave the orders for the police and National Guard to go full fascist on university protests a ross the globe as the youth market demands an END to Israel’s Genocide. Bibi’s PR Campaign has been a complete bungled blunder since he took office – again – and this is more evidence of a Cartel pushed to the edge.” – Helena Glass!

Tin Soldiers and Nixon Coming… – “Student action on university campuses against US involvement in Israel’s slaughter of Gaza has exploded across the country. Suddenly there is the distinct feel in the air of the anti-Vietnam war protests once they finally caught on in 1968 and soon thereafter changed the course of US history. Both protest movements were fully demonized by the same forces of the mainstream Left/Right regime and what libertarian writer Jacob Hornberger rightly calls the “National Security State.” ” – Daniel McAdams

The American Sunlight Project, a new dark money org led by Biden ‘disinformation czar,’ hides in the darkness about funding sources – “The American Sunlight Project is the opposite of what its namesake suggests. The newly-announced Jankowicz-led American Sunlight project claims a mission statement of exposing “the infrastructure and funding behind the disinformation campaigns that are attempting to undermine American democracy.”” – Jordan Schachtel

Four More Years–Pause – “Biden Flubs Teleprompter Prompt–Again. Four more years—that does give me pause. Yes, Biden stepped on his own applause line. He accidentally read a prompt to the audience to chant “four more years,” then added the “pause” direction that was included to remind him to allow the audience time for the “spontaneous” chant. This isn’t the first (or second) time Biden has flubbed teleprompter directions. It does make you wonder how aware he is of what he’s saying.” – Bill Astore  – THE BIDEN FLUB COMES A LITTLE BIT BEFORE THE 1:30 MARK IN THE EMBEDDED VIDEO!!!

The Burning Platform Merch Children & Firearms: Definitions and Demographics Make all the Difference – “We’ve all read the headlines, “Guns are the number one killer of kids in America.” Unfortunately, that headline is grossly misleading. To better understand children and firearms, we must first understand the definitions of adolescents and exactly what gun violence is. Looking at data with clearly defined terminology is the first step to having an effective conversation on this topic — otherwise, we will never get to the root of the problem.” – Sam Jacobs

Rittenhouse ‘Victim’ Keeps Leaving Out Important Part of Their Story – “Then we have Prediger, nee Grosskreutz. Rittenhouse didn’t do anything to him until he pointed his Glock handgun at him, at which point Rittenhouse shot him. Prediger–he apparently has changed his name legally for some reason–is really just upset that Rittenhouse is speaking at different places and not slinking off into obscurity and feels like he has to follow him around to call him out. And let’s understand that Prediger admitted on the stand that he pointed a gun at Rittenhouse. Why isn’t he acknowledging it here? Because that goes against the narrative that Kyle Rittenhouse is a bad person.  Prediger can change his name, but we know who he is and what he tried to do. He got shot for it because he and his buddies couldn’t murder a 17-year-old kid. His opinions on what Rittenhouse does from here are irrelevant unless he owns up to the fact that if they hadn’t attacked him, Rittenhouse wouldn’t be on that campus as a speaker.” – Tom Knighton |

Waving the Ukrainian Flag of Surrender – “Hitting another new low. The other day, to celebrate one more atrocious piece of legislation that slapped average Americans in their already battered faces, members of your Congress waved a flag in celebration. But they didn’t wave the American flag. Old Glory. The Stars and Stripes. The one that once still waved over the land of the free and the home of the brave. No, our “representatives” were waving the Ukrainian flag. It’s the most popular flag out there. Well, the LGBQT+ model is pretty chic as well. The last known Americans to be waving an American flag in the Capitol are now sitting in prison, victims of the draconian January 6 political prosecutions. Don’t even ask what happens to anyone daring to wave a Confederate flag.” – Donald Jeffries

ECONOMIC NEWS

Is Something Starting To Break? Stocks Plummet And Bonds Go Nuts As Economic Data Disappoints – ” There was quite a bit of panic on Wall Street on Thursday after more bad economic numbers were released. But honestly I simply do not understand why the financial markets responded with such surprise. By now it should be apparent to everyone that we have a “Weekend at Bernie’s economy” that is being propped up by unprecedented levels of government spending. If we actually tried to live within our means, we would immediately plunge into a depression. ” – Michael Snyder

Destination TEOTWAWKI – “Financing the U.S. government’s mega budget deficit – the gap between government spending and tax revenue – has become an act of madness. Just this week, the U.S. Treasury flooded the market with $180 billion of new debt. Did you buy some? Washington’s spending is completely out of control. Even the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is speaking up. We are living in an era where something that cannot go on forever, doesn’t stop. Remarkably, it continues. Year after year. Decade after decade. The debt piles up. And all the while, it piles up at a much faster rate than GDP growth. ” – MN Gordon

If climate change were deemed to be caused by the use of pharmaceuticals, not by combustion of fossil fuels, would our leaders seek to ban prescription drugs by 2050? – “If climate change were deemed to be caused by the use of pharmaceuticals, not by combustion of fossil fuels, would our leaders seek to ban prescription drugs by 2050?

Lately, I’ve been reading speeches, One of which was was made in the summer of 1963 by JFK. In it, he expressed a shared humanity for Russians and Americans. The madness had to end—negotiate for peace with Russia. Instead of peace, he was murdered that fall. If you are hoping for a white knight to ride in this November—forget about it. A Trump win gets rid of an arrogant, ignorantly dangerous, ‘cold warrior’, Biden (and Co.), to wander off into pages of history. But have no illusions about what we get in return.

So, when I now speak in a way that could be seen as in favor of Trump, just know it is not out of partiality to Trump.

Immanuel Kant goes to war – “Though Kant is as undeniably German as the Nord Stream pipeline, Putin (and anyone else anywhere) has a right to quote him morning, noon and night. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has lashed out at Russian President Vladimir Putin for quoting iconic German philosopher Immanuel Kant. Because Putin cited the philosopher at an event marking the 300th anniversary of Kant’s birth, Scholz accused Putin of trying to “poach” the great thinker as well as misrepresenting his ideas. As Putin delivered his talk in Kant’s famous birth place, it was, of course, entirely appropriate that Putin should quote the great philosopher and Scholz, if he was not an ignoramus, should have used that to his advantage, rather than coming across as the obvious baboon that he is.” – Declan Hayes

Holocaust denial can be insulting – but when did an ‘insult’ become a crime?. Some states have declared even the trivialization of the Holocaust is also a criminal offense. Yesterday, Antony Blinken gave the world his version of human rights amidst the Gaza genocide: “Countries that respect human rights are more likely to be peaceful, prosperous, stable.

Iran’s drone program may be useful in helping to even the playing field against Israeli fighter jets, but then again, the technology gap could be extensive. The Israeli public position will be that their strikes are focused on taking down any existing Iranian nuclear labs. There is no solid evidence that Iran has made much headway in developing nukes … The Strait of Hormuz would be at the top of the list of primary targets for Iran.

I guess the US Empire figures that’s just a good start, and a great deal. Half a million Ukies dead, hundreds of billions in profits, cha-ching! How about those congresscritters standing up in our nation’s capitol to celebrate funding a neo-Nazi kleptocracy in a foreign country instead of their fellow Americans?” – Ohio Barbarian

Sending US Military Advisers to Ukraine Is a Slippery Slope – “Haven’t we seen this movie before?” – Dave Patterson

Ukraine: US Doubles Down, Russia is Cool – “Senate approval is expected as soon as Tuesday. President Biden has promised, “I will immediately sign this law to send a signal to the whole world: we support our friends and will not allow Iran or Russia to succeed,” On the other hand, the Russian foreign ministry reaction has been rather polemical — as if Moscow was anticipating the development. What seems to perturb Moscow most in the US aid bill is the thinking favouring the confiscation of frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine, which, the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov singled out “because this is essentially the destruction of all the foundations of the economic system.” – M. K. Bhadrakumar

Is a Volcker-like series of rate hikes in the cards? – Richard Mills

Crossing the U.S. Dollar Rubicon – “Of course you’ll recall the Russian invasion of Ukraine in late February of 2022. This was the most important geopolitical event of that year, and the ramifications continue to metastasize in 2024. However, the most important financial event of 2022 occurred in early March of that year when the United States and the European Union combined forces to: Freeze Russia’s non-domestic foreign currency reserves. Expel Russia from the SWIFT international payment system. The ramifications of these moves continue to metastasize today too. Why?” – Craig Hemke

Grey Man Secrets You Should Learn Before SHTF – “In scenarios where resources become scarce and the social order has broken down, drawing unwanted attention to yourself, your assets, and your operations could potentially make you the target of violence or even get you killed.

Artificial Intelligence and the Grim Future of a Divided Humanity (VIDEO)- “If it’s going to become a threat to humanity, then we have a moral obligation to murder it immediately. The Corrupt U.S. government is bankrupting the economy and igniting a third world war while flooding the border with single military aged men. The media continues to divide us along party lines with another rigged election, while Hollywood tries to goad the people into a second Civil War. And while this is all happening, humanity is being slow killed with technologies that only serve to isolate and track us. Nine years ago, hundreds of scientists were warning us of the dangers of Cell phones and 5G radiation.” – Greg Reese.  – ANOTHER MUST WATCH FROM GREG!!!!

These federal fiefdoms ignore every rule in the book, color way outside the lines, move the the hotwiring of viruses offshore when it gets too dicey to do it in the US, and then lie about every last bit of what was done in a festival of gaslighting that would have made Geobbels blush. and nothing happens to them.” – El Gato Malo

With Tree Rings On Their Fingers (VIDEO and TRANSCRIPT – “There’s a lot of apparently confident talk about how current temperatures compare with those in the past, including claims of 2023 being the “hottest year ever” or at least in the last 125,000. But how do we actually know, and how much do we actually know, about historic and prehistoric temperatures? In this Climate Discussion Nexus “Backgrounder” video John Robson examines the uses, and abuses, of various temperature proxies. If a pattern found in a tree core is truly a climate signal, it should be seen in cores taken from at least 10 to 20 trees in an area, because a single tree can suffer storm damage or be attacked by pests. So whenever you see a tree-ring-based reconstruction, the first question you need to ask is how many trees were sampled. But good luck finding out.” – CDN ( The Climate Discussion Nexus ) via Charles Rotter

Final Nail in America’s Coffin? – “When future historians go searching for the final nail in the US coffin, they may well settle on the date April 20, 2024. On that day Congress passed legislation to fund two and a half wars, hand what’s left of our privacy over to the CIA and NSA, and give the US president the power to shut down whatever part of the Internet he disagrees with. The nearly $100 billion grossly misnamed “National Security Supplemental” guarantees that Ukrainians will continue to die in that country’s unwinnable war with Russia, that Palestinian civilians will continue to be slaughtered in Gaza with US weapons, and that the neocons will continue to push us toward a war with China.” – Ron Paul

Burning Down the House – “America’s house is being consumed by a raging hot fire of Marxist-Maoist, Islamofascist, anti-American Democrat Paty radicalism and Republican cowardly fecklessness and, too often, complicity. America can’t be “built back better”, when everything the Biden regime currently supports is damaging some part of Her infrastructure; and, the country sure as hell can’t be built back better or “made great again”, when a Republican Speaker, with the purse strings in hand, refuses to put America first over Ukraine and Israel, ” – Justin Smith

Israel Is Turning Hospitals Into Mass Graves While The West Fixates On ‘Antisemitism’ – “The IDF are just attacking hospitals and mowing down civilians and trying to bury the evidence of their crimes, so naturally we’re seeing the western political-media class focus very hard on the problem of antisemitism allegations on college campuses.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion Die in America: Zionism is Now the Only Religion Allowed in the U.S. – “In the eyes of Zionists, if you do not support the Jews and modern-day Israel, then you must support their annihilation and “right to exist”. There is no middle ground for them, and to not accept their position is to be labeled “antisemitic”, deserving of losing your job, or being arrested if you voice your opinions in public. How in the world did we get to this point, where the U.S. Constitution clearly protects the right to “Freedom of Speech” and “Freedom of Religion”, and yet lawmakers in Washington D.C. today only allow one opinion and one religion?? There is only one answer to this question: Zionist Evangelical Christianity.” – Brian Shilhavy

Enabling Genocide Is OK, Hush Money Not OK – “What a country!

Some crimes can’t be forgiven!” – Bill Astore

An Unsustainable America Must Fall – Before It Can Rise – “James O’Keefe has given us the second in command at the White House – but not the head honcho. For the past three years I have put my bet on Bloomberg, a Zionist, a failed presidential campaigner, and hordes of money to assist in maintaining the Illusion. Having failed to incite a World War with Iran, the US and Israel were intent on bombing Iraq last week. Even while the Iraqi Premier was in Washington negotiating the removal of US troops in Iraq. A stiff slap in the face to the Premier – and the White House reaction to any pullback. Retaliation has been swift – yesterday, a trove of rockets were launched from Iraq’s border into a US military base in Syria. There are three US bases in Syria. They remain for the sole purpose of stealing Syria’s oil for cash profits that do not get deposited into the US Treasury.” – Helena Glass

A Gold Standard Is Coming—Whether We Like It Or Not – “We are living inside a mythos that is not based in reality—a 2-fold mythos of oil and credit. Oil made it possible for there to be 8 billion souls on a planet that prior to oil could maintain something closer to 1 billion. And credit, especially in the US, made for a false mythos wherein we assumed we could live far beyond any historical mean. A gold standard is best when 1 oz. of gold provides for 1 oz. of credit. A gold standard is most sustainable when gold, for all forms of money and credit instruments, is exchangeable for gold itself. Will that be our future—or will we adopt something lesser?” – neverhadaboss.com

How the Founding Fathers Predicted the Economic Problems of Today – “No, they didn’t have a crystal ball. They didn’t need one. All they needed was an understanding of money and human nature. The founders recognized the “evils” of paper money. And they knew that if the U.S. went down the paper money path, it would cause all kinds of problems. Thomas Paine put it bluntly: “The evils of paper money have no end.” The founding generation knew this because they learned history. They also experienced the problems of paper money in their own day.” – Mike Maharrey

Mystery Gold Buyers Want It All for Themselves – “Even before it was trendy, we noted over and over how gold’s moves up are seemingly happening without obvious causes. (The fundamentals are there, of course – but based on them, gold price should have been much higher long ago.) Gold has historically surged in the wake of black swans. But this time is different… The mainstream media, in a curious turn of events, has gone from ignoring this story to now asserting that gold has a “mystery buyer.” It makes sense, since a mystery buyer would explain a lot of gold’s price rise since the start of the year – and explain the invisible force that’s supporting gold’s all-time high prices. See, people hate mysteries without a satisfying conclusion.” – Peter Reagan

The “partnership” is being led by several of Microsoft co-founder Gates’s groups.

Dermatology’s Disastrous War Against The Sun – “The forgotten side of skin health and the necessity of sunlight. Skin cancers are by far the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States, so to prevent them, the public is constantly told to avoid the sun. However, while the relatively benign skin cancers are caused by sun exposure, the ones responsible for most skin cancer deaths are due to a lack of sunlight. A strong case can be made that this dynamic was a result of the dermatology profession (with the help of a top PR firm) rebranding themselves to skin cancer fighters, something which allowed them to become one of the highest paying medical specialities in existence. Unfortunately, despite the billions that is put into fighting it each year, there has been no substantial change in the number of skin cancer deaths.” – A Midwestern Doctor

But it was at least the American flag. How about this business of the people who supposedly represent Americans – in Congress – holding and waving the flag of Keeeeeeeeeeeev? We can see where their allegiance lies. As has been observed by many – and you can observe it yourself by going to the downtown area of any major city – America is disintegrating. But there is always money for Keeeeeeeeeeeeeev. And Israel, too. Who runs Bartertown? (per Mad Max in the Thunderdome.) And isn’t “Bartertown” exactly apt? It is the place where things of value are traded. Washington, DC having long been the epicenter of that.

Now it is clear who is represented – and by both political parties, which have always represented themselves.” – Eric Peters  – GOOD ONE FROM ERIC!!!!

The rest of the dough enters the recursive shell-game between US weapons-makers and the very hometown folks in Congress waving those blue and yellow flags, who will receive great greasy gobs of fresh “campaign donations” from the grateful bomb and missile producers.

And we do mean zero, as in nothing, nichts, nada, nyet and nugatory,.. What Johnson’s impending Waterloo means, therefore, is not merely the prospect of another wild and wooly succession battle, but actually that there is no point at all in the preservation of a Republican majority and GOP House Speaker. Afer all, the Washington GOP has become so infected with neocon warmongers and careerist pols who spend a lifetime basking in the imperial projects and pretensions of the world’s War Capital that apparently the best the House GOP caucus could do when it ejected the previous careerist deep stater from the Speaker’s chair was to tap the dim-witted nincompoop who currently occupies it.

Democrats have slammed the impeachment as a political stunt, saying that Republicans had no valid basis for the move and that policy disagreements are not a justification for the rarely used constitutional impeachment of a Cabinet official. The impeachment of Mayorkas has nothing to do with “policy disagreements”; it is first, last and only about a Cabinet official’s deliberate refusal to enforce laws as written, including 8 USC §1324.” – Karl Denninger

Give Me Liberty or Give Me Debt – “As we all know, the American people gained their independence and, after a fair bit of stumbling, set forth on a course of prosperity, based upon excellent natural resources and an excellent work ethic. In the middle of the nineteenth century, a war was fought, not over slavery, but over who would control the economy of the future – the northern industrialists or the southern plantation owners. The north won and the latter half of the nineteenth century saw the greatest expansion the world had ever seen. This was done without income tax or a Federal Reserve, confirming that these factors are not necessary for progress and prosperity. Then in 1913, the pigs rewrote the sign on the barn.” – Jeff Thomas

Oil prices are not a cause of inflation but a consequence.” – Daniel Lacalle

It stays fresh for a long time, holds up well even if it gets banged around a bit, and is kept safe from harmful bacteria. But here’s the real question: how long can you really rely on your canned goods? It’s not just a matter of picking up some cans from the store or even canning your own without knowing exactly how long they’ll stay good.

UN Plans Tyrannical Future for You (VIDEO) with Alex Newman – “The Secretary General of the UN (António Guterres) has put out briefs where he is calling for the UN to be the one world global dictatorship with him at the helm. In emergencies, the UN would have all power in emergencies and have all power to oversee emergency response. . . . They say the crisis could be a climate crisis, an economic crisis, environmental crisis, pandemic crisis, black swan crisis or maybe something from outer space. So, basically, anything could be a crisis, and when the Secretary General declares a crisis, all power and authority would go to the UN. This is like a blank check on the wealth and liberty on every person on the planet” – Greg Hunter

Why is the WHO Asking Doctors to Lie to Promote Climate Alarm? – Ben Pile

Mandating social changes to achieve Net Zero is a fool’s game – “Before we accuse big oil of not having a zero-emission society, we need to ask ourselves: “How dare WE in the wealthier countries continue to increase our demand for the products and fuels manufactured from crude oil that make OUR lives more comfortable?” Without a replacement for those petrochemical derivatives manufactured from crude oil, phasing out oil would phase out the medical industry, militaries, transportation, communications, and electrical power industries, none of which existed before the 1800s. Climate change may impact millions, but without fossil fuels and the infrastructures and products we have today that did not exist before the 1800s, we may lose billions from diseases, malnutrition, and weather-related deaths” – Ronald Stein

Idolatry in a World of Diminishing Faith – “No human is an idol. Narcissism is really a form of idolatry. Self-idolatry. Which is a logical extension of this. But idols require non-idols to idolize them. Someone has to cheer from the stands. So not everyone can be an idol. And no one should be. We can treat each other with kindness and respect, without engaging in idolatry. We should save the idolatry for He who gave us life, and continues to give us hope.” – Donald Jeffries

Race, Religion or Politics? Or all of the above? – “It could be said that the scientists of today are the guardians of certain narratives, be they mythology or true to actual historic fact. One of these narratives, now very much in the spotlight, has to do with the Jews, their origins, identity and influence on the global stage. A taboo topic if you stray outside certain rules, if you ask the wrong questions. This seems important to me because there’s a lot of rhetoric on racial grounds about the Jews, which seem to me to be more about religion and politics (mostly politics) than race. I’ve always wondered how the Jewish diaspora could possibly be genetically homogeneous after a few thousand years. I’m all for people groups to express an ethnicity, you can have a mixed genetic pool expressing a certain ethnicity, and for them to present arguments and narratives based on that ethnicity. But the tenuous assumption of a pure genetic lineage of a large diaspora should not be the grounds for either attacking an entire people group nor supporting them on that basis.” – Winston Smith  – A LITTLE LONG AND DETAILED, BUT VERY INTERSTING!!!!

Congressional Extortion: Aid Funds, TikTok, & X – Leveraging Censorship – “EXTORTION – the practice of obtaining something through force or threats. Obtaining benefit through coercion. Intimidation Tactics. Housed within the Aid funding Bill passed in Congress were two less advertised agendas: 1. Tik Tok’s Chinese founders are now required to sell their interest in the company to an American investor approved by Congress – within six months. 2. Frozen Russian assets will earn interest (at an undisclosed rate) which will be used to fund Ukraine’s reconstruction after the war. Legally, both of these Governmental Acts are contestable and unConstitutional, but the fact that our government would even consider them as justifiable is ‘insane’. Despite these 535 Lawyers in Congress attesting that any of this is remotely legal, they gleefully celebrate their win!” – Helena Glass

The US’ Long-Delayed Aid To Ukraine Might Prevent Its Collapse But Won’t Push Russia Back – Andrew Korybko

The Whore Media, Like “Our” Government, Always Misleads – “Washington Post reports that the Republican Speaker of the House got a bipartisan $95 billion dollar “foreign aid bill” passed. The huge sum goes to Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine. It is completely obvious that this is not foreign aid. It is an aid bill for the US armaments industries. It is the use of American taxpayers’ incomes to give to these three countries the money with which to pay the US armaments industries for the weapons they receive. In other words the American taxpayers are paying for these countries to get America into wars with Iran, China, and Russia. This is how the Rino Speaker of the House and the Republicans serve us.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Did Israel Even Attack Iran?? – “The next morning, more details began to emerge, and it was reported that the alleged attacks were in the city of Isfahan, where Iran reportedly had nuclear facilities. As more and more details emerged, the U.S. media was reporting that the “attacks” actually came from within Iran, and were not in fact “missiles”, but “drones.” So I went to the Iranian English News site, TasnimNews.com, and they were reporting that there were no airstrikes at all. Next, I decided to check the Israeli English News websites to get the Israeli side. Unfortunately, there was none. Every single Israeli English News site I went to was only reporting what the U.S. media was reporting, such as CBS, the New York Times, etc. There was literally nothing reported from Israeli military officials or politicians. I wish I had taken some screenshots yesterday, as the corporate media is quickly scrambling to seemingly try to explain all this, with many of the initial news reports seeming to disappear, but here is one:” – Brian Shilhavy – DOESN’T REALLY MATTER AS IT WILL BE SPINNED HOWEVER THE U.S. MEDIA WANTS TO SPIN IT.

We need ‘high capacity’ magazines – “Democrats/socialists/communists (D/s/cs) are masters at warping the English language to their political ends. There is no such thing as an “assault weapon.” Indeed, D/s/cs have invented that term and used it in proposed and passed legislation, but it appears nowhere in firearm nomenclature. “Gun violence” is equally deceptive. Only human beings are capable of violence, not inanimate objects. But by D/s/c logic, we ought to be banning fist violence, foot violence, baseball bat violence, knife violence and all manner of similar violence, because all of those types of “violence” account for far more damage than “gun violence” as represented by AR-15-like firearms, or any sort of rifle for that matter. ” – Mike McDaniel

However, the even more shocking number may have to do with violent crimes, which soared to record levels in 2023.” – Ben Bartee

Anti-West sentiment has been on the rise across Africa, with Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso also recently scrapping military deals with France. ” – RT

Perpetual Motion Machine Finance – “President Biden – a conniving politician – is fond of blaming corporate greed for rising prices. This has proved to be a simple and effective answer for why consumer prices are so high. In one simple statement he shifts the focus away from the government’s failed policies. In doing so, he also points to a boogeyman which the broad populace can direct its anger toward. Biden’s logic is simple. Prices are increasing; therefore, corporations are greedy. But if corporations are greedy because prices are rising, isn’t the government also greedy because prices are rising?” – MN Gordon

It became not a revolutionary challenge to the corrupt monetary system we all live under, but just another way to make money.

Social Security Isn’t As Secure As You Think – “Back in March 2021, we explored why you’d be wise to look elsewhere if the Social Security trust were a private investment you’d chosen to invest in, rather than a government program you were obligated to participate in. The upshot? If Social Security were run like any other investment, there would be lawsuits everywhere.

What Used to be Just Caught a Cold – “I caught a cold about two weeks ago. Something as noteworthy – once – as forgetting your keys. Just something that happens to pretty much everyone, every now and then. No big deal. You might mention it in passing to a friend. It didn’t move the needle much, because it was a normal part of life, like gray hairs. Then it became something to Freak Out about. Because people were encouraged to Freak Out about it. It became almost a badge of honor to announce that one had caught a cold. It became de rigueur to Get Tested! And then make sure to announce to everyone that you had done so – and what the results (always “positive”) were.” – Eric Peters

An Immolationist in Chapel Perilous – “Please don’t burn yourself alive. As this is written, a few hours ago a man stood outside the Manhattan courthouse where Trump’s trial is proceeding, threw an armful of pamphlets in the air, and set himself on fire. Everyone’s first thought, of course, was to wonder why he did it, what it means, who takes the blame, how does this affect my affinity group. Was this a leftist, furious that Trump had not yet been locked up for colluding with Russia to destroy Our Democracy and usher in a dark new era of theocratic Christian fascism? Was this a MAGA-hat wearing QAnon lunatic, enraged at the political prosecution of his tribal chieftain by the illegitimate crypto-communists who stole the election on behalf of their paymasters in the Chinese Communist Party? The immolationist was soon identified as Maxwell Azzarello, a Florida native who’d travelled to NYC a week before, without telling his family. The most disquieting thing about Azzarello’s worldview is not that it is crazy, but that it is not so very thematically different from the way that I, and many others, see the world.” – John Carter  – ANOTHER GOOD LONG READ FROM JOHN!!!

Climate Worries Are Non-Credible, Luxury Beliefs That Harm Civilization Itself – “I live in a small village at the edge of lands surrounded by very harsh nature. Many of my fellow villagers entertain all these global ideas—melting glaciers and parts per million–numbers, floods and ethical dilemmas about us vulgar humans making earth inhospitable or uninhabitable. It’s a strange thing to worry about obsessively, while the vicious storm raging outside the double-glazed windows affect nothing about our food supply, electricity use, heating, or ability to participate in the global division of labor—whether in our offices or remotely via high-speed internet. It somehow seems contradictory to passionately rally against capitalism from the comforts of very capitalistically built and maintained houses, hotels, and pubs; to inveigh against the burning of fossil fuels that literally keeps one alive.” – Joakim Book

One of the most effective tools of this “cabal” has historically been war and conflict, and it appears to be back on the docket for ushering in that long-planned one-world government. The wars of today, are not the conflicts of civilizations past.

A risk-free life is not worth living. To abdicate responsibility is also to abdicate power.

Democrat House reps stop just short of explicitly calling for Trump’s assassination – “Rep. Bennie Thompson (D. Miss.), who chaired the House J6 Committee, introduced legislation that calls for President Donald Trump to lose his Secret Service protection if he’s convicted and sent to prison. Thompson fully understands that there is a strong likelihood that the current Manhattan hush money trial or the upcoming Georgia RICO trial, both of which are open partisan lawfare rather than justice, will see at least one felony conviction and prison sentence for Trump. In other words, this legislation is an almost explicit call for Trump’s assassination. It’s been apparent since the get-go that the myriad criminal actions against Trump are a form of election interference. Each case has no basis in law or fact.” – Andrea Widburg

Simply put, it’s a tacit renunciation of their religion’s fundamental tenet that Jesus is the Son of God Whose teachings are divine.” – Andrew Korybko  – WELL SAID BY ANDREW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nanobots That Release Toxins And Harvest Energy From the Body (VIDEO) – “Humans being turned into batteries to fuel digital A.I. prison. The 248 page patent for the Moderna technology that was administered to people in the COVID shots was filed in 2020. The patent lists several embodiments, or variations, of this technology. And while we don’t know who got what embodiment, we know that several different batch numbers were deployed. And some were far more deadly than others. According to the Moderna patent, this technology contains self-assembled nanoparticles. And in certain variations these nanoparticles can be used for the controlled release of compounds once they are in the human body.

It’s as if all these ‘liberal’ leaders are saying: ‘You think Humza Yousaf is the West’s foremost opponent of free speech? Hold my beer.’ The Canadian proposal is, by some distance, the worst. It’s so dystopian, even George Orwell and Philip K. Dick failed to anticipate it.

Batshit Crazy America – ” Of course, much of that archetypal psychodrama is only played out in the batshit crazy mind of batshit crazy women; for the sake of decorum it is never acted-out.

Proof of Mr. Trump’s rapey-ness has been finally and formally declared in the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial. It’s certified, you see, though the trial itself was a joke of performative pretense. All you really need is a cast of characters, including the judge, Lewis Kaplan, who are sufficiently deranged and degenerate to carry out the performance.

After the Missiles Fall on Israel Things Get Real for the West – “Too many people are trying to downplay last weekend’s response from Iran to Israel’s attack on their consulate in Damascus as some kind of “Wag the Dog” event. While I do agree there was a certain level of theatrics in the entire scene, to think this wasn’t a major geopolitical event is the worst kind of cynical cope. Iran’s strike on Israel, as others have pointed out quite effectively, was designed to show the Israeli people who support Benjamin Netanyahu’s unhinged, in my opinion, response to the October 7th attack that they can be gotten to.” – Tom Luongo

My first-ever Cannibal Story … – “Joe Biden sets the record for whoppers delivered in one paragraph. At some point, these events stopped being funny …. For a while, the President’s daily “gaffes” were no doubt viewed as wonderful entertainment for many members of the public who otherwise would be bored by presidential politics. Alas, by now, such stories have transcended into the territory of the surreal as increasing numbers of Americans realize this is the man with the nuclear codes. As for what presidential “gaffe” is coming next, nobody knows. We just know it will happen in the next two to 24 hours.” – Bill Rice Jr.

The Biden Regime Is Showing America What Fascism Truly Is – The Question Now Is Whether They Will Get Us Into A Nuclear World War Before Or After Creating A Hot Civil War – Susan Duclos

Advocates for Gun Rights and Gun Control Descend Upon Illinois State Capitol – “My hope is that, in time, we can see Illinois abandon this anti-gun jihad they’ve been on for so many years and embrace the fact that gun rights aren’t just constitutionally protected but they save lives.” – Tom Knighton

The Right to Assembly – “The right to taunt the tyrant — whether the tyrant be a king or a president or local police — is among the natural rights of expression integral to all persons. Your rights to think as you wish, to say what you think, to read what you choose, to publish what you say, and to do this alone or in concert with others — without a government permission slip or fear of government reprisal — are natural human rights possessed by all persons above the age of reason.” – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

So if the government claims inflation is two, it’s four. And when they claimed it was nine, it was probably 18. People are struggling. The entire banking system is insolvent.

Are You Prepared for Life with No Internet? – “Y2K  The issue was that many computers only used two digits for the year (e.g. 1/1/97 for January 1, 1997.), the last two digits. So 1998 was 98, 1999 was 99, etc. But what was going to happen in the year 2000, where the last two digits would be 00? Would the computers interpret that as 1900, and if so, what was going to happen? The U.S. spent about $100 billion in fixing the date code errors on computers in the late 1990s, and a disaster was averted, although the issue is still highly debated today as to whether or not all that money spent was worth it. Here in 2024, the U.S., and the World, depend upon the Internet and technology so much that it makes the year 2000 look like it was in the dark ages. Most people cannot even imagine or fathom what life would be like today without the Internet.” – Brian Shilhavy

Most folks carry a multitool, but that usually confines them to the tools that come with the multitool.

Dysfunctional and Dangerous – “The party of democracy in America is the Democrat party, because they believe in democracy. The Republican party believes in the republic. This is the image, the belief, we’re all supposed to have. The Democrat party right now is working as hard as possible to deny the majority its say in politics. It will lie, cheat and steal votes to appear as a majority. Everyone should vote, even though only American citizens are allowed to vote. When they say “everyone” they mean, everyone, citizen, non-citizen, tourist, alive or dead is irrelevant, if a ballot can be produced, it should be counted; absentee ballots from Palestine should be counted, as long as they vote Democrat. It’s not like one would get anything different from voting Republican, though. Look at the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, if you want to verify that statement.

Assuming he doesn’t get removed by a leadership coup before voters sink the leaking Tory battleship, Sunak will be gone by January of 2025 at the latest. That just leaves Humza Yousuf,  a post-ideological, apolitical opportunist interested purely in power for its own sake and quite happy to use the absurd public morality of the despised rubes that he rules over to keep the wretches in their place. And boy, does he despise them. Whether or not the era of Britain’s Brown Ministers will prove to be short-lived is, of course, open. Certainly the current crop are not long for office. Perhaps more will replace them. Throwing them out in front of the public has the added benefit of discouraging criticism: it’s one thing to mock a Prime Minister, but to make light of a Brown Minister is by definition hate speech. Just ask Humza. And hate speech is taken very seriously in Britain these days.” – John Carter

Silly me – I thought our Federal Government needed money to make munitions for America – according to Justifiable – Mike Johnson. So where are all these munitions? The US claims its stockpile inventory is depleted… so where did the annual $50 billion go? Since American Taxpayers are funding them – why don’t we get the entirety of their Net Profits? Have all these munitions been sent to Ukraine? Shouldn’t we be kept apprised given we are defacto shareholders This is what Mike Johnson is pushing for – more money from taxpayers to give to the Military Industrial Complex to produce weapons for Ukraine and Israel.

IMO, that’s upholding their oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, because if there’s World War III there will be no more Constitution.

A Lesson In Managerial Imbecility – “Now that the West has imposed every conceivable sanction on Russia, the Russia are free to act in ways that they never would have considered five years ago. Of course, the fact that sanctions failed to dent the Russian economy has made the threat of sanctions into a barking chihuahua. The Chinese have been transferring technology to Russia, despite the threat of sanctions. The reason is they see how the Russians got around those sanctions. This also means the Chinese could be helping the Iranians with their missile program as well. All of this is the result of mismanagement by Washington. The sanctions war on Russia was poorly conceived and executed, but the biggest mistake was not considering the downstream consequences” – The Z Man

Government offices assist foreign nationals in skirting existing work rules, identification requirements, and other domestic laws.

When the FISA Act was passed, surveillance state boosters promised that 702 warrantless surveillances would never be used against American citizens.

In this regard, economics is very similar to politics. Establishment media sources lie incessantly about our financial conditions, and when they are finally cornered and forced to admit how bad things are, they then lie about the causes. That said, I find that these lies are usually designed to do one of two things: Over-complicate the problem so that people give up thinking about it, or, distract from the problem so that people blame a scapegoat.
