WTF! World Technocracy Front Gathers Devil’s Spawn In Davos – “Sulfur levels in Swiss town surpass atmosphere of Venus as WTF! whores gather to accelerate humanity’s demise. It’s time to start calling the World Economic Forum by its true name—World Technocracy Front, or WTF! Upon listening to decades of dopey ideas that emanate from the megalomaniacs who make the annual winter pilgrimage to Davos, Switzerland one would be rightly excused for hearing such asinine proclamations of deliberate social engineering and manipulation of humanity and screaming: WHAT THE F**K!” – Good Citizen  – VERY GOOD READ AS USUAL FROM THE GOOD CITIZEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Davos 2023 – Whistling Past the Great Reset’s Graveyard – “So, where are we now? We’re well past the point of Peak Davos that’s for sure. When the guest list for this year was leaked I found it fascinating that many who’ve skipped it in the past would be there – US bank CEOs like JP Morgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon. There were just as many who have gone previously to plead for sanity – Putin and Xi Jinping — didn’t even phone it in. It has been a fascinating week of announcements and headlines that paint a very ugly picture for Davos’ future.” – Tom Luongo

WEF Calls for Destruction of America’s Middle Class – “Sociopath Chrystia Freeland argues middle class needs to embrace poverty. I dare entitled, no doubt wealthy (she’s in government, after all) Chrystia Freeland to walk the streets of Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland, and other cities destroyed by the global elite, and try to sell this recipe for poverty and misery. Freeland would not make it out alive in many neighborhoods. She would need the Schweizer Armee at her side. Instead, Freeland is safe behind a podium at the WEF. There are thousands of Swiss soldiers outside making sure outraged plebs don’t storm the castle. This “honorable” woman (government sociopaths are always honorable), a fixture of the state, is on her tenth careerist term as deputy prime minister of Canada and “serves” as the minister of finance. As minister of finance, there is no doubt she understands what a “pay cut” will do to the middle class.” – Kurt Nimmo

World Economic Forum Plots Misinformation Plan – “WEF operates via fearmongering — about disease and environmental catastrophes, for starters. When the population is controlled by fear, it welcomes authoritarian “protections” like increased censorship, surveillance and digital identity systems, introduced under the guise of safety, but which ultimately remove personal autonomy and freedom.” – Dr. Joseph Mercola

Nobody mentioned China at Davos – “The big problem is China and no one wants to say it. You can’t tackle the climate-change problem if no one wants to confront China directly and publicly.” – Silvio Canto, Jr.  -THAT’S BECAUSE THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT THE CLIMATE, THAT’S JUST THE EXCUSE THEY USE FOR CONTROL. AND THEY ADMIRE CHINA BECAUSE THEY ARE THE PRIME EXAMPLE OF CONTROL, AT LEAST AT THE MOMENT!!!!!

Expert Doctor confirms 50 Million Americans may have serious Heart Damage due to COVID-19 Vaccination – “Dr. Thomas Levy is an American cardiologist and an attorney-at-law. He is a contributing editor for the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service and serves as a consultant to LivOn Labs. During an interview with Steve Kirsch on Tuesday he discussed the effects the spike protein was having on the heart. He has recently published an essay titled ‘Myocarditis: Once Rare, Now Common’ which formed the basis of the discussion.” – Rhoda Wilson

Controlling the ‘Mark’ after a Con Trick – “Is this what we’re seeing in the MSM re vaccine injuries? I may just be too suspicious for my own good but some things have not felt right recently. Well things haven’t felt right for a long time but recently it has felt like things are being increasingly manipulated. More people coming out acknowledging vaccine harms is a good thing but is it all that it seems?” – The Naked Emperor

Ambulance calls for cardiac incidents have significantly increased in Scotland – Rhoda Wilson

Thinking Points, January 21, 2023 – “A series of thoughts at 4 in the morning.  Vaccination = choosing slavery and calling it freedom. Following the CDC childhood schedule = giving your kids to the cartel. Vaccination = slavery, chaining yourself to a lifetime of chronic illness, pain, and dependency on Pharma.” – Toby Rogers  – MORE GOOD POINTS FROM TOBY!!!!!!!!!!

Paradise of Madness – “It is said that the mad do not know they are mad. They live with a certainty of everything. They never doubt. They shuffle through common knowledge until they pick out their stance as if it were a pearl inside a sea-stained shell, neither understanding the thing that made that pearl nor that there are many shells with many pearls. We are living in a world breaking from the weight of its own suppositions. It argues out its future in its vast forgetting of the past until it has no here and now.” -Sylvia Shawcross  – A SHORT GOOD ONE FROM SYLVIA!!!!!!!!!!!

I Truly Miss the Clarity of the Great Robert Higgs: A Real Man of Freedom – “Robert Higgs, as far as I know, is retired and living somewhere in Mexico after deciding some years ago to leave the U.S. in favor of a “freer country that does not threaten the world.” This distinction is very important, in that it is not that there is an existing utopia, or perfectly free country, but that there are other countries that have some or more freedoms, or at least have a government that does not have the means to totally dominate the people. The U.S. however, does have the means. Professor Higgs spoke of this years ago from the U.S. military standpoint, explaining that the Pentagon has a term that it uses called “Full spectrum Dominance,” which means that the military are continuously researching and developing technology to control completely the air, land, sea, and space. In other words, the plot of total control; a one world government or total technocratic globalization, did not begin with the ‘covid’ fraud and scam, it began long ago.” – Gary D. Barnett

The Little Affronts – “The income tax is a terrible affront, of course. It is based on the odious idea that when you earn money, you owe it – to people who didn’t work for it but who have the power to take it. This being, fundamentally what “government” is all about. The power to tax being the power to take. And only government has the legal power to take – and call it not-stealing. Well, excepting the big insurance and pharmaceutical corporations that have acquired the power to use the government to take our money. But it’s the smaller affronts we often don’t even notice that bleed us whiter – because they are smaller and because most of them are unavoidable.” – Eric Peters

Crack Crime-Stopper Lori Lightfoot Offers ‘Concrete Solution’ to End Crime in Chicago – “Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s “concrete solution” to solve crime in Chicago: “Make sure that their money is secure, not use [cash] if at all possible, use other forms of transactions to take care of themselves.”” – Mike Miller  – BRILLIANT LORI!! WHAT’S NEXT?  TO PREVENT CAR-JACINGS DON’T DRIVE? TO PREVENT RETAIL THEFT, DON’T HAVE ANYTHING IN STORES? GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Illinois judge delivers win for gun owners, grants TRO in “assault weapons”, magazine ban – “One big caveat to Morrison’s ruling: it does NOT have the force of law throughout the entire state, or even all of Effingham County. The new law cannot be enforced against the 860-or-so plaintiffs at the moment, but that’s it.” – Cam Edwards

Illegal border crossings surge to highest of Biden’s term – AP

“I Have No Regrets”: President Biden Breaks Long Silence With Shattering Admission – “While Biden’s “corvette standard” for storing classified documents was baffling, his declaration of “no regrets” is downright infuriating. It is also remarkably moronic with a special counsel in the field. Either the President believes that Special Counsel Robert K. Hur will paper over the entire affair or he is doing his best to force his hand with a criminal charge.” – Jonathan Turley

Trump to Host First 2024 Campaign Event With Graham, McMaster in South Carolina – Lorenz Duchamps  – TRUMP ALREADY HAS TWO SERIOUS PROBLEMS. THE FIRST ONE IS HIS PART IN THE WARP SPEED VACCINATIONS AND GIVING FAUCI CONTROL OVER THE PANDEMIC. THE SECOND IS EVEN ASSOCIATING WITH AN ASS-KISSER AND WARMONGER LIKE LINDSEY GRAHAM!!!!!!!!

Germans remain adamantly opposed to sending any Leopard tanks to Ukraine – “The US and other allies pledged light vehicles and other weapons in Ramstein today. The US share is up to $25 billion.”- Anatol Lieven

Investigation: Ukraine buys huge amounts of Russian fuels from Bulgaria – Antonia Kotseva and Krassen Nikolov – LET ME SEE IF I CAN GET THIS ONE STRIGHT. THE U.S. SANCTIONS RUSSIA OIL PRODUCTS AND GIVES UKRAINE BILLIONS. BULGARIA USES RUSSIA OIL PRODUCTS AND UKRAINE BUYS IT FROM THEM PROBABLY USING THE MONEY THAT THE U.S HAS GIVEN THEM TO FIGHT RUSSIA. WHAT AM I MISSING HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

US sanctions on Chinese solar panels cripple its own green agenda and harm Americans – “Thanks to political games and the fossil fuel lobby, Washington is shooting itself in the foot on clean energy” – Bradley Blankenship

Russia Prepares for Nuclear War – “If news reports from the past few days are accurate, it appears that the conflict in Ukraine is about to go nuclear, as Russia prepares itself for nuclear attacks from NATO.” – Brian Shilhavy  – BRIAN LINKS SEVERAL ARTICLES THAT KIND OF MAKES IT LOOK THAT WAY!!!!!

Mexico Pulled Between Bright Multipolar Future and Feudal North America Union – “Last week’s meeting of Justin Trudeau, Joe Biden and Lopez Obrador in Mexico City saw several dynamics clashing. On the one hand, the oligarchist demands of global governance, population reduction (under the guise of “sustainable development”) were advanced with a declaration of North America. This declaration clearly sets the stage for an integrated North American Union founded upon a zero-growth ethos. On the other hand, the Mexican President took a stand demanding an end to the age of the Monroe Doctrine and a restoration of national sovereignty as the basis of international law.” – Matthew Ehret

Don’t Be Fooled: We Are In A Recession – “Things Are Getting Worse, Not Better” – Peter Nayland Kust

Gold Or Silver? – “You want both, obviously, but how much of each and why? At first glance, gold and silver seem pretty fungible. They’re both hypnotically pretty. Their prices tend to rise and fall according to the same financial/political forces. They’re both seen as real money by a tiny (very wise) fraction of the population and as atavistic relics by the vast, ignorant majority. And – most important – they will both preserve their owners’ purchasing power when today’s fiat currencies evaporate like the fever dreams they always were. So you definitely want some (and maybe a lot) of each. But gold and silver are not identical. They have different strengths and weaknesses in various “monetary reset” scenarios. And their prices don’t move in lockstep. Sometimes one is cheap relative to the other.” – John Rubino

Pandering to the New World Order: American politicians sell us out to an international criminal syndicate with blood on its hands – “U.S. politicians who receive invitations to the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, always seem to say stupid things, or stay silent when they could speak up for American values.” – Leo Hohmann

People – Would You Like Your DNA Imprinted in Your Digital ID? – “Is the idea far-fetched? Not so far. If WHO gets its ways with the “Pandemic Treaty” overruling this planet’s every country’s health sovereignty, you may soon be forced to get your most intimate ID, your DNA, “branded” onto your digital ID.” – Peter Koenig

Don’t Worry About Those Safety Signals…The “Experts” Say They Don’t Matter – “What’s A Heart Attack Here And There Among Friends?

WAKE UP  🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑!!!!!!

Why are they FINALLY “admitting” the Covid Vax could be harmful? – “The mainstream narrative spinners – from politicians to the CDC to the media – have started reporting “possible harms” due to Covid “vaccines”. This is a potentially seismic shift in the narrative, but as usual we need to ask the perennial questions – Why this? Why now?” – Kit Knightly

At Davos, conformity is required, and debate is a cancel-worthy sin – “Everyone agrees with each other on everything, and that’s why they stay in the WEF club.” – Jordan Schachtel

NEWS

A Page Turns – “Of course, the “Joe Biden” classified document scandal is less about the documents per se than it is about the Biden family business, which was accepting large sums of money from shady foreign interests for unspecified services rendered. “Joe Biden,” the brand, is owned, perhaps to the degree that he can be called “a sell-out.” Selling out your country is kind of serious. For instance, our country is right now deeply involved in a war between a Biden family client, Ukraine, and its angry relative, Russia. The USA has pumped more than $100-billion into Ukraine just this past year. That’s quite a return-on-investment for the million or so Hunter Biden grifted out of the Burisma gas company. It is alleged that Ukraine has operated as a gigantic international money laundry, especially since our State Department and Intel Community overthrew Ukraine’s government in 2014 and put in a series of errand boy presidents. Ukraine did not have to become a geopolitical hot-spot. We made it a problem on-purpose.” – James Howard Kunstler  – ANOTHER GOOD READ FROM MR. KUNSTLER!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Biden Did Nothing Wrong, Why Won’t He Answer Any Questions? – “I have no regrets. I’m following what the lawyers have told me they want me to do. It’s exactly what we’re doing. There’s no there, there.” – Larry O’Connor  – STILL WAITING FOR THE FBI RAID AT CAR-A-LAGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joe Biden’s scandal of leadership – “Every other federal employee must take pains to protect classified documents. I am a retired State Department official who held a Top Secret clearance without incident for some twenty-three years. Not once did I break the rules by violating my promise in return for access to the classified material I was privileged to see. I never left anything out on my desk, never took home a piece of paper, never brought a classified cable on the train to read during my commute. I still remember day one of my service at State, when some very serious people told us we had two jobs: protect classified materials and all our other tasks (economic reporting, passports issuance, run the motor pool, whatever). Notice the order: a mess-up on the job is usually correctable locally. A failure to protect classified material can have global implications.” – Peter Van Buren

The dog ate my classified documents – “I suppose it’s just a matter of time before we hear that excuse tripping off the tongues of our D.C. officials. It’s just as ludicrous as leaving classified documents in a box in your garage by your vintage sports car and expecting the rest of us to believe that that’s preferable to storing them properly.” – Stephan Helgesen

NYC Mayor Adams Calls for ‘National Czar’ to Manage Border Crisis, Despite VP Harris Already Holding Role – Samantha Flom

Kamala Harris Visits Arizona – But Not the Border – “For the Biden administration, a green energy event trumps the border any day. Vice President Kamala Harris winged her way to Arizona on the fossil fuel-powered Air Force Two on Jan. 19. Not to visit the border, of course, but for a green energy event in Tonopah. And so, the Border Czar continues her track record of ignoring the most significant humanitarian crisis of the last half a century to focus on “more important” business. Ms. Harris was in town to tout the accomplishments of her boss and take part in the groundbreaking ceremony of the latest foray into green energy infrastructure, Ten West Link.” – Sarah Cowgill

Kamala Harris’ Attempt at Explaining How Electricity Works Goes Downhill Fast – “Think about it. Every time you turn on a light, or charge a laptop, or plug in your air conditioner, or put leftovers on the fridge, you rely on the power delivered by our nation’s network of transmission lines.” – Sister Toldjah  – GOSH, WHO KNEW!!!!!!!

Biden Bucks and Gas Stoves – “The Biden administration itself has a long history of using this alarmism to try to control your life. Their most recent offense might just be their worst… They’re considering a nationwide ban on gas stoves — citing the harmful pollutants released by the appliances, In addition to 40% of homes, 76% of restaurants use gas stoves. That’s a lot of gas stoves to ban! Incidentally, or not, the research was led by RMI, an organization that pushes for carbon-free buildings and that “works to transform global energy systems across the real economy.” So there’s an agenda there. That itself doesn’t necessarily disqualify the research, but it should give you pause. The bottom line is the Biden administration and the unelected bureaucrats they enable are out of control. I’ve already told you how they want to control your life using Biden Bucks. That’s the term I use in reference to the coming digital dollar — the central bank digital currency.” – Jim Rickards

There’s only one question the prosecutor needs to ask Alec Baldwin – “I can only hope the prosecutor asks Baldwin one question. “Mr Baldwin, if the scene called for you to put the gun to your own head and pull the trigger, would you have accepted someone’s word that the gun was safe or, if your own life was on the line, would you have taken that one second to check it to make sure it was safe?”” – Pandra Selivanov  -GOOD READ, GREAT QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The pair usually trade in tandem but, so far in 2023, prices have been moving in opposite directions. And it’s not just price. As you’ll see in this post, it’s also sentiment and interest as measured by the total amount of silver contracts floating around on the COMEX. So, gold prices have surged and copper prices have rallied, as well. Therefore, COMEX silver prices are rallying, too, right? Right?? Nope.

To hit the proper emotional note where propaganda becomes effective, the new variant, XBB.1.5, was quickly dubbed the “Kraken,” which is a moniker referring to a legendary sea beast that could not be defeated.

Yet while the picture being painted is one of XBB.1.5 spreading rapidly throughout the United States. The picture painted by the actual data is far less bleak and far more hopeful. Even where XBB.1.5 is spreading rapidly, hospitalizations have peaked and are trending downward. This has been the case even two weeks ago, when the media was first starting to hype the “Kraken” as the latest deadly subvariant of the original SARS-CoV-2 virus.” – Peter Nayland Kust

360 Degree Surveillance: How Police Use Public-Private Partnerships to Spy on Americans – “In this age of ubiquitous surveillance, there are no private lives: everything is public. Surveillance cameras mounted on utility poles, traffic lights, businesses, and homes. License plate readers. Ring doorbells. GPS devices. Dash cameras. Drones. Store security cameras. Geofencing and geotracking. FitBits. Alexa. Internet-connected devices. There are roughly one billion surveillance cameras worldwide and that number continues to grow, thanks to their wholehearted adoption by governments (especially law enforcement and military agencies), businesses, and individual consumers. With every new surveillance device we welcome into our lives, the government gains yet another toehold into our private worlds.” – John & Nisha Whitehead  – ANOTHER GOOD READ FROM JOHN AND NISHA AS WELL AS THE ONE BELOW FROM JUDGE NAPOLITANO!!!!!!

The FBI and Personal Liberty – “Among the lesser-known holes in the Constitution cut by the Patriot Act of 2001 was the destruction of the “wall” between federal law enforcement and federal spies. The wall was erected in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, which statutorily limited all federal domestic spying to that which was authorized by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The wall was intended to prevent law enforcement from accessing and using data gathered by America’s domestic spying agencies. Those of us who monitor the government’s destruction of personal liberties have been warning for a generation that government spying is rampant in the U.S., and the feds regularly engage in it as part of law enforcement’s well-known antipathy to the Fourth Amendment. Last week, the FBI admitted as much. Here is the backstory.” – Andrew P. Napolitano

Rep. Matt Gaetz Introduces ‘Abolish the ATF Act’ After New Rule Turned Millions of Gun Owners Into Criminals – Jim Hoft

Mexico Is Not Really an American Friend – “One sure sign of historic national decline is the collective inability of a government and its people to defend their own borders and national sovereignty. Note that Mexico itself facilitates illegal transits across its own southern border—as long as such Central American and other global migrants keep heading northward into the United States. But when or if they pause, try to stay in Mexico, commit crimes, or expect Mexican social services, then almost immediately Mexico City sends thousands of troops to close its border with Guatemala, deports the illegal crossers, and revives talk of building a border wall of its own. Biden has demolished America’s southern border. His illegal nullification of U.S. immigration law is music to Obrador’s ears.” – Victor Davis Hanson

A classified document found in a garage is no accident, it is a crime – “People are missing the point and the media are purposely distorting the facts about the discovery of classified documents in Joe Biden’s possession. The unsecured classified documents found in Biden’s garage is not only a crime scene, it is evidence of espionage. Every pundit on the television continually demonstrates having little clue about the law or even the name of the security program that governs the safeguarding of classified materials.” – Mark Hewitt

Brother And Son – “One of the tricks the Clintons popularized for getting around rules and protocols was the sudden collapse in enforcement of the rules and protocols. Instead of violating one specific rule that was hindering them, they would violate all the rules. This way they could blame the system or just unintended errors. This made it hard to see the specific rule they were violating, which made it hard to see the caper. They hid their crimes in an avalanche of sloppiness. This seems to be what the Bidens were up to when Joe was Vice President.” – The Z Man

Hunter Biden Lived in Wilmington House with Classified Documents While Bagging Millions Linked to the Highest Levels of Chinese Intelligence – “While addicted to drugs, cavorting with prostitutes, and making deals with businessmen tied to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence, Hunter Biden lived in the house where Joe Biden stored classified documents.” – Seamus Bruner

‘Fragmented World’ Sleepwalks Into World War III – “Insufferable bores from that Divide and Rule island in northern Europe have just found out that “geopolitics”, alas, never really entered the tawdry “end of history” tunnel: much to their amazement it’s now centered – again – across the Heartland, as it’s been for most of recorded history. They complain about “threatening” geopolitics, which is code for Russia-China, with Iran attached. But the icing on the Alpine cake is arrogance/stupidity actually giving away the game: the City of London and its vassals are livid because the “world Davos made” is fast collapsing. Davos did not “make” any world apart from its own simulacrum. Davos never got anything right, because these “elites” were always busy eulogizing the Empire of Chaos and its lethal “adventures” across the Global South. Davos not only failed to foresee all recent, major economic crises but most of all the current “perfect storm”, linked to the neoliberalism-spawned deindustrialization of the Collective West. And, of course, Davos is clueless about the real Reset taking place towards multipolarity.” – Pepe Escobar

US May Help Ukraine Launch An Offensive On Crimea – “It’s hard to imagine a full-scale assault on geostrategically crucial territory long considered a part of the Russian homeland not causing a major escalation. It’s been widely accepted among foreign policy analysts that Crimea is among the reddest of all of Russia’s red lines in this standoff. Moscow considers Crimea to be Russian. Your disagreements with the Kremlin about Crimea will not protect you from nuclear fallout, and they will not protect anyone else. Nuclear warheads don’t care about your feelings. Any assertion that Russia will not use nukes under such-and-such a circumstance must squarely address this question: “Are you willing to gamble the life of every terrestrial organism on that claim being true?” If you can’t answer this question, your claim isn’t serious or valid.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Washington Has Resurrected the Threat of Nuclear Armageddon – “We owe this disaster to the neoconservatives. The neoconservatives were responsible for Iran-Contra and were fired and prosecuted by President Reagan. They were pardoned by Reagan’s successor, President George H.W. Bush and wormed their way into conservative ranks and into policy positions in government.” – Paul Craig Roberts

CIA Chief Warns Zelensky of Assassination (…by the CIA) – “So CIA boss William Burns made a secret trip to Kiev in January last year to warn Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky that his life was in danger from assassination. The clandestine meeting occurred only weeks before Russia launched its military operation in Ukraine. Western news media are gullibly spinning the claim that Burns warned Zelensky that the Russians were plotting to kill him. The impact of the top secret briefing was said to have had a “sobering effect” on the man in Kiev. In less polite terms, he crapped in his pants. That Burns had to meet Zelensky in person suggests that the American spymaster wanted to convey another, unreported message, a message that only Zelensky would hear and one that could not be taped at any cost.” – Finian Cunningham

Why the Fed Is Bankrupt and Why That Means More Inflation – “Why Is the Fed Insolvent Now? A sizable part of the reason that the Fed has become insolvent in recent months (and almost certainly will be in 2023 overall) stems from the fact that since 2008, the Fed has bought up trillions of dollars in Treasury debt and mortgage-backed securities (MBSs). The Fed has done this to prop up the prices of real estate and government bonds (i.e., to subsidize Wall Street, banks, and the real estate industry.) Yet it bought these fixed-rate assets when interest rates were very low, and most of those assets have a maturity of over a year. That means that even as interest rates have risen in the past year, the Fed’s income from these assets has not risen sizably.” – Ryan McMaken

The Next Major Threat to Your Portfolio Just Arrived – “The data is finally beginning to register that a recession is at hand. I’ve been forecasting that the U.S. economy was in recession back in November. Leading indicators and the bond market made this clear. The yield curve has accurately predicted every recession since 1982. And it was SCREAMING that a recession was about to hit in the U.S. since mid-2022. As you can see in the chart below, the yield curve was more inverted than at any point in the last 40 years.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Here We Go Again! It’s Time for Another Debt Ceiling Fight – “Here we go again. The clock is ticking down to another US debt ceiling fight. According to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, the US government will officially bump up against the debt ceiling Thursday (Jan. 19). Make no mistake, Congress will raise the debt limit. It will posture. It will bluster. It will play a dramatic game of chicken. We might even have to endure another fake government shutdown.

The Day the Music Died – ““You’ll own nothing, and be happy.” Ha ha. I wonder if Schwab regrets saying that. The phrase caught on and Schwab has been inextricably linked to the expression. Sounds like something just about any of those WEF Cretans would say. I am pretty certain Schwab’s Best Boy Harari adores the concept. You can obviously see how demented anyone who seriously utters this is. You would have to be demented if you are thinking people would nod their head and exclaim “can’t wait!” Of course most of the world couldn’t care less what Klaus Schwab thinks. Most of the world doesn’t even know who he is, or what the WEF have planned for all of us. Take computer software and music for example. You no longer own either one. So what? Well, music and software (which is also largely rented now) is nothing compared to renting your home, your car, your clothes, your furniture, and whatever else you can think of that you at one time actually owned. But it is a start, and it is basically the way things now are. Again, so what? Well, if you peel off just a few layers, you will clearly see the “so what”…owning property is the first tenet of freedom, for one. And owning nothing certainly puts control into the hands of whomever it is who owns the thing you rent.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP  – GOOD READ FROM TODD ON HOW THEY START OFF SLOW AND SLOWLY CREEP INTO ALL ASPECTS OF TOUR LIFE!!!!

It is a collection of territories of the Global American Empire run by provincial clodhoppers with no real power. Baiting the Russians into war served no European interests.

Geraldo Embarrasses Himself and Fox With What He Just Said About AR-15s – ““What does AR stand for?” Gutfeld asked him. “Automatic rifle,” Rivera responded, getting it just ridiculously wrong. “No, that’s not what it is,” Gutfeld said. “All I know is is AR-15s have no place in American society, other than sport clubs,” Geraldo insisted. All you know is nothing, Geraldo, so what you know isn’t worth much, given you think they’re machine guns. “AR” in AR-15 doesn’t stand for automatic rifle, it stands for “Armalite Rifle.” It isn’t a machine gun, it’s an ordinary semi-automatic rifle that fires one bullet per trigger pull. But Geraldo is showing the incredible ignorance that much of the liberal media shows — they have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to guns. All they know is what the current talking point is — that AR-15s are evil and machine guns. You would think that in 2023, they would have educated themselves more. But they can’t be bothered with the truth when they’re more occupied with pushing the talking points. Unfortunately, it’s not just the liberal media like Geraldo who don’t know what they’re talking about when it comes to guns, it’s politicians and people involved in making policy and passing laws who are also equally as ignorant.” – Nick Arama  – AND THIS IS THE MAIN PROBLEM.

These are the main planks of the shady platform of a shady NGO registered in Cologny, a tony Geneva suburb. The list of Davos attendees was duly leaked.

When the United States of America was a vessel to carry those rights and freedoms to every American, I was patriotic to it. When it became hostile to those rights and freedoms, I stopped being patriotic to it. When it became hostile to those rights and freedoms, I stopped being patriotic to it. Where the United States of America has embraced an ideology in contravention of those principles, reaching more and more into the surveillance state and seeking every means of control, i.e., food distribution, energy rationing, electrical grid manipulation, capturing and enslaving children in indoctrination centers, the mind control and even genocide that has lately been exposed, I reject it completely and in every way.” – T.L.

It cares not a bit for all the dead and suffering victims of its policies there and around the world. Because he so passionately denounced the warmakers and fought for racial and economic justice, MLK, Jr. was murdered by the same government that later gave him a national holiday to hide its guilt. Most people in the U.S.A. do not care that this is true but wish to live their small-world lives, not thinking about it. Indifference reigns.

The World Economic Forum & the World Health Organization Are Elevating Themselves Above the World’s Governments – “First, ask yourself how Klaus Schwab’s organization, WEF, and Rockefeller, Bill Gates, and Big Pharma’s organization, WHO, got the word “world” in their name. The only organization on a world level is the United Nations. As it name implies, it is an organization of independent nations. The nations speak, not the world, much less a private organization like the WEF and a privately funded organization like WHO. Globalists who speak in the name of the world have already pulled a fast one on us by appropriating a name that suggests that two private organizations speak for the world. Both of these organizations are in the process of acquiring this private authority over humanity.” – Paul Craig Roberts  – GOOD ARTICLE FROM DR. ROBERTS!!!!!

The Best Video On Climate Change That You Will Ever See – “If you only play one video this year, the video below is the one you should play.” – Mish

Too Wet? Too Dry? It’s All Climate Change! – “Climate change, as defined by the United Nations: “Refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, such as through variations in the solar cycle.” That’s actually a good definition. But not willing to leave well enough alone, the UN goes further, spoiling a simple and straightforward definition with: “But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.” It is amazing that before humans burned fossil fuels two centuries ago, it was only natural cycles that changed the climate, not backyard barbecues, gas stoves, and SUVs. ” – Brian C.

Fauci Knew Boosters Could Cause Immune Tolerance; Pushed for them Anyway – “Despite that documented knowledge, they inexplicably pushed to boost people repeatedly, ruining their immunity to Sars-Cov-2.The anti-Covid-vaccine circles are abuzz with posts discussing “IgG4 immune tolerance”. It describes mRNA-injected people developing so-called “IgG4 antibodies”, which make their immune systems “ignore” Covid infections instead of fighting them vigorously, leading to slow virus clearance, excessive replication of the virus, and “sudden deaths.” ” – Igor Chudov

It’s time we demanded to know why. the ostensible purpose of public agencies is to serve the public. But how is the public served by selective data use and outright data suppression? It’s enough to make one wonder about precisely for whom these purported public servants work.

Against the Tide – “So many calamities, quandaries, and mysteries swirl in the zeitgeist these days that life in the USA feels like swimming against a rising tide of poisoned guacamole. Nothing has been able to stop that green spewage from the political Left, especially as it desecrates our very language to turn everything up, down, and everything inside, outside. The outstanding feature of this political illness is the utter lack of accountability for gross insults against the public interest — that is, things that really matter. As Congresswoman Ilhan Omar once put it so obliquely, “some people did some things.” Former US attorney and chief-of-staff to the SecDef, Kash Patel, had a good idea: start with the latest insult to the country. Haul in the newly-appointed special counsel assigned to the “Joe Biden” purloined document scandal. His name is Robert Hur. He was a top aide to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein at the height of RussiaGate, and liaison to the Robert Mueller operation. He was not appointed to shed any light on the issue, but to bury it under a load of procedural horse-shit, in particular, the dodge that questions about “ongoing investigations” can’t be answered.” – James Howard Kunstler

Biden signs onto ‘Declaration of North America (DNA)’ with Canada and Mexico: Is the planned North American Union making a comeback? – “Joe Biden met last week in Mexico City with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador for the 10th North American Leaders’ Summit. The three leaders signed onto a document that appears to be a prelude to a North American Union, which the globalists talked a lot about during the George W. Bush presidency. It looks like the push toward a merger of the U.S., Canada and Mexico may be back on the front burner if this written declaration of intent is any indication. The document has attracted very little media attention since it was released on January 10, as the mainstream corporate press focuses instead on classified documents found in Biden’s office and home. When major news happens there’s almost always a misdirection play meant to divert our eyes. The North American leaders, dubbed the “Three Amigos,” committed their countries to six “pillars,” all of which were taken straight from United Nations documents Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030.” – Leo Hohmann

The Biden Scam Unravels – “Well now the classified document scandal has really blown up in Biden’s face. But even more-intriguing is that there is an apparent set of evidence of both hinky dealing and intentional cover-up to be found in Biden’s tax returns and the revelation that Hunter was paying Joe $50,000 a month to rent a house that was worth a couple of million. Hunter also claimed that said house was owned by him, but the tax and deed records say otherwise. That, however, is Hunter’s problem — not Joe’s. Joe’s tax return not only shows the property tax paid on the house it also deducts mortgage interest. It’s his house both by deed and by who’s covering the mandatory bills. Joe’s tax returns from the subject year shows business income from pass-throughs (two S corps) which is perfectly legal. The tax returns do not show income in that classification from other sources; ergo, said “rental” has to be inside one of those two corporations or there is a serious felony involved,” – Karl Denninger

Biden climate czar John Kerry gives the third world his ‘to do list – “John Kerry is his climate czar and he’s making all those slackadaisical third world countries out there an offer they can’t refuse. Go green, partner with some greenie billionaires and oligarchs, get carbon credits, convert it to some kind of dished-out foreign aid, and not just for companies but sovereigns. Going green is a horrible idea for the third world as it will drive energy prices up in the poorest countries. leading to job and investment loss and ultimately set their capitals on fire, as happened in Sri Lanka. But that’s a matter of no concern to Kerry. The important thing is that the third world gets those wind turbines whirring and never mind about providing jobs or rising living standards to their locals.” – Monica Showalter

Blumenthal released a statement he knew was not true: We are moving closer and closer to a nuclear showdown with Russia over Ukraine. For political gain the Democrats – and plenty of Republicans – have been pushing the “Russiagate” hoax and in so doing have fertilized the ground for the obsessive Russia hatred prevalent in the US today. I do not believe it is an exaggeration to say that if US/Russia relations had not been poisoned by the lie of “Russiagate” for pure political gain, we would not be anywhere near our current state of near-direct conflict with the largest nuclear power on earth, Russia.” – Ron Paul

Taxation=Theft – “Theft is defined as “the taking of another person’s property or services without that person’s permission or consent.” Almost invariably, governments pass tax laws and set tax rates without any consultation with the citizenry. Further, no final approval is sought by the citizenry that they consent to the tax or the rates. It is simply imposed. Most of us tend not to regard taxation as theft, yet, by definition, that’s exactly what it is. But some countries, notably the US, go further in disguising the theft, by stating that the payment of tax is “voluntary.” I personally am not aware of a single instance in which an individual or corporation decided not to pay a tax and, if discovered, was allowed to go unpunished.” – Jeff Thomas

The Elite’s Obsession with Achieving Total Financial Control – “Federal bureaucrats use proxies to stifle all kinds of activities they don’t like. The “Twitter Files” are revealing this tactic to a new wave of Americans, but it has been around a long time. If officials can replace the existing currencies with digital, programmable money, they will claim the power to dictate if, when, and where individuals can spend money as well as what they can spend it on. Those who question whether forces inside the federal government are actually pursuing such power may wish to review recent history around the Federal Reserve note “dollar.” The effort to control people by targeting their money escalated in 1970 with the Bank Secrecy Act. It targeted cash specifically by requiring banks to report transactions involving more than $10,000.” – Clint Siegner

Can Suing the Government, Pharmaceutical Industry, and Mainstream Media, End Tyranny? Absolutely Not! – “It should be obvious to most, but it is not, that all courts are in fact an arm of, and an integral part of the State. In fact, the courts are government, and therefore complicit in government crime. In order to gain redress from intentional or negligent harm due to government or government controlled, funded, or sponsored entities, the arbiter in every case against government is that same government. Could any more dangerous or discriminatory contradiction or conflict of interest exist? I think not, For all intent and purpose, the fake ‘covid’ fraud has not only left center stage, but has mostly been intentionally but temporarily disappeared. This does not mean that a return of this or another criminal false flag ‘pandemic’ plot will not be exploited in the future, as it probably will be, but currently, this fraud has been somewhat suspended. This particular part of the takeover plot has recently lost its luster, as more doubt the mainstream narrative. Suing the government or any government-protected fascist partners protected by state design, and in government courts, will not solve this tyrannical and totalitarian coup d’état being pursued by the technocratic ruling class and its puppets in government.” -Gary D.

They are dutifully ignoring the wave of sudden deaths among our youngsters, children and even middle aged adults.

A Manhattan Project For The Biomedical Security State: Part 1 – “Gates is the promoter, facilitator and profiteer-in-chief of the great vaccine Manhattan Project but he certainly isn’t the originator of it. The call for a biosecurity Manhattan Project dates back to the George W Bush administration. On July 11, 2019, a think tank called the Biodefence Commission held a panel discussion entitled A Manhattan Project for Biodefence: Taking Biological Threats off the Table.  Dr Robert Kadlec, the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) in the US Department of Health and Human Services (HSS) was a panellist.

Nancy Pelosi’s Other Legacy: A Mountain of Debt for Our Children – “Despite a surging national debt, the spending orgy continues in Washington. As far as political careers go, Pelosi’s has been a clear success. Yet as journalists write hagiographic portraits of her career, one aspect of Pelosi’s legacy has received little attention: the massive federal debt accumulated since she ascended to leadership in Washington. When Pelosi became minority leader in 2003, the national debt stood at $6.2 trillion. When she turned over the speaker’s gavel, the national debt stood at $31.5 trillion. In other words, about 80 percent of the debt accumulated in all of U.S. history was accrued since Pelosi ascended to a leadership position in Congress.” – Jon Miltimore

Biden in Mexico: We’re All North Americans Now – “‘Three Amigos’ summit goes far beyond cooperation in the name of a shared ‘DNA’. Lost amid the revelations of classified documents stored next to his Corvette and whatever gaffe he might have just uttered is that a sitting U.S. president has once again openly espoused trans-nationalism while abroad. Yet the unmistakable message these representatives of supposedly sovereign countries chose to articulate was wholly dedicated to the blurring of national identities.” – Joe Schaeffer

What’s going on here with Biden’s document mishandling? – “It has been a tough week for Joe Biden. We know the severity of the scandal and the perils to national security associated with it. The fact that the Biden family has a record of corruption and ties with U.S. adversaries such as China makes the scandal considerably worse. But there are many unusual occurrences surrounding this scandal.” – Rajan Laad

The Real Scandal Behind Joe Biden’s Classified Documents Scandal – “Things get a lot worse when Hunter Biden enters the picture, and with this classified documents scandal, he has now entered the picture like the Kool-Aid man. Here, we have a probable criminal in Hunter Biden claiming on a background form that he owned Joe Biden’s house at the time when it was doubling as illegal storage for classified documents. But when you look at the form, things go from bad to worse. For some reason, Hunter Biden claimed that he was paying $49,910 in rent for Joe Biden’s Delaware residence. The house itself is only worth $2,000,000 in today’s market (and was built for a fraction of that). Why was Hunter Biden paying $49,910 in rent to his father? Where did all that money go? There’s been a lot of speculation about how Biden’s son, who is currently facing a criminal investigation for tax fraud, may have funneled cash to his father. That speculation picked up several years ago after a mention of “10 percent for the Big Guy” was found in one of Hunter Biden’s emails. Paying a comically large amount of “rent” to Joe Biden would seem to be a little suspicious, would it not?” – Bonchie

Why Didn’t Biden Just Burn Those Classified Documents? – “Or is there something else that we do not yet know about? Something that led to the judgment that the current limit hangout of some dirty linen is better than to have a real scandal come to the public’s knowledge. The whole thing is puzzling.” – Moon of Alabama

For Biden Supporters, No Lie Is Too Much To Break The Faith – “Media members and Biden supporters, even seeing the lies they’ve been told completely exposed, does not stop the blind love affair.

Through it all, media members and other Biden supporters keep getting played for fools, but they always come back for more.” – Jeff M. Lewis

Innocence Doesn’t Matter When the Government Wants to Steal Your Money – “There’s a fault line permeating America’s criminal justice system—a built-in defect that the government can use to steal your property, even if you’re innocent. And many Americans don’t even know about it. In fact, federal, state, and local governments seize countless Americans’ property using a law called civil asset forfeiture, which allows government agencies to take, keep, and profit from someone’s money and other possessions without even charging them with a crime, much less convicting them of one. ” – Joe Setyon  – JOHN WHITEHEAD HAS WRITTEN ABOUT THIS A FEW TIMES,.

Default Tsunami – “After about seven years, the average new car is worth less than half what it sold for new. As of the third quarter of last year, says the credit reporting apparat Experian, almost 20 percent of all new car loans issued were for seven years – and 11 percent of all used car loans. The latter being the more interesting of the two data points since the value of a used car after seven years is probably less than balance still due on the loan by then. And probably sooner. This means there are apt to be a lot defaults on used car loans coming since it’s not economically rational to continue making payments on something that’s not worth making payments on.” – Eric Peters

We are simply too comfortable inside it. We refer specifically and unequivocally to the warming water of the American fiscal setting. The nation is spending itself into hot water. “Entitlement” spending — the quote marks are necessary — account for much of the warming. $101 billion more than even last year! Can you believe it? What do the American people receive for the extra $101 billion? Additional debt and an increase of the debt-to-GDP ratio. Beyond that, very little we suspect.” – Brian Maher

THE BIG PICTURE NEWS

The Gas Stove Scare Is A Fraud Created By Climate Change Authoritarians – “In the past I have often tried to take a big picture approach to the issues facing the American public and how there is almost always a deeper connection between a variety of political and economic events. And, what has become increasingly clear to me is that in order to understand government actions and geopolitics, you must always ask yourself “Who benefits?” The bottom line is this – At the heart of nearly every conflict and every crisis the same group of power mongers usually benefits, and they have taken a keen interest in the climate change narrative in particular.” – Brandon Smith

We Must Have The Truth – “On April 2, 2020, a paddle boarder was chased by authorities and taken into custody. This event should have caused unanimous outrage over the absurdity of what happened – law enforcement arrested a lone paddle boarder on Santa Monica Bay for the crime of “flouting coronavirus closures.” The paddler’s arrest was an early indication that something had changed in our country. A “new normal” was spawning from the chaotic, unscientific, politicized pandemic messaging mainly coming from biased news media and the once venerable Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Dr. Anthony Fauci.” – Pat Fidopiastis

Red Alert: Pharma Plots to Inject Livestock With mRNA ‘Vaccines,’ Likely to End up in Food Supply – Ben Bartee

Right or Wrong, I am Sticking with What I Believe – “What is it with this oddly stoic response from the “sheep side” of this debate? I am hearing more and more sentiments such as: “I don’t care if you are right, I am sticking with my stance.” What is that all about? Like a captain of a ship, defeated in battle, ship sinking, standing at the bridge, sword drawn, “damn you bastards! I am going down with my ship!” And sure enough he does. Shark food. The sheep are not the enemy. They may have had weaknesses that make them responsible for this shite show, but they didn’t create it, and they got nothing for being loyal to their puppet masters, that’s for sure. These poor folks are our brothers and our sisters. We are ready to welcome them back to the human race with open arms, but that is impossible if they continue to swear their allegiance to the enemy.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Sic Transit Gloria COVID – “Will The HHS Finally End The Public Health Emergency? With little fanfare, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra extended yet again the Public Health Emergency Declaration regarding COVID-19. By now, the renewals are almost by rote—and appear to be driven at this point more by the commitment made by the Biden Regime to inform the healthcare industry at least 60 days in advance should the declaration not be renewed.” – Peter Nayland Kust

How Many Sudden Deaths Are too Many? – “Jabbed individuals comprise the vast majority of deaths attributed to flu/covid. The unjabbed are profoundly safer. Claims that dispute the above reality are false. Likely with ties to Pharma, sources making them are lying. Since kill shots were rolled out over two years ago, everyone jabbed was irreparably harmed. Millions died, some suddenly, others later on. NFL player Damar Hamlin’s collapse from cardiac arrest after making a routine tackle was viewed by millions on national television as it happened. It was, or should have been, a wake-up call for everyone aware of what happened about the health-destroying hazards of kill shots. Most all NFL players were jabbed for flu/covid. Hamlin was reportedly booster-jabbed in December. There’s no ambiguity about the cause of his collapse — despite all-out efforts to suppress it. Home recuperating, he survived a near-death experience.” – Stephen Lendman

“The American people want a solemn ass as a President.” – “It was late in the evening on August 2, 1923 when Vice President Calvin Coolidge heard a knock on the door. He was visiting his family home in Vermont, where there was no phone service, or even electricity. So the White House had sent an official messenger to relay the news that President Warren Harding had suddenly died of a heart attack. The next morning he returned to Washington, DC to survey the mess. The Interior Secretary had been taking bribes. A Veterans Bureau director was embezzling funds. A close friend of Harding had been selling access to the White House, but was later found dead. Corrupt FBI agents were on the payroll of illegal bootleggers. People were disgusted. And the public’s trust in government plummeted to levels not seen since the Civil War. To complicate matters even more, Congress was coming apart at the seams with plenty of infighting among the parties. Coolidge, nevertheless, got to work and tried to repair the damage. He methodically dealt with his predecessor’s scandals, fired all those involved, and assisted in prosecuting them.” – Simon Black – SOUNDS KIND OF LIKE NOW, DOESN’T IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Top 20 Most Cringeworthy Zelensky PR Moments – “The US empire’s proxy war in Ukraine has had many jaw-dropping instances of imperialist sociopathy, propagandistic audacity and brazen journalistic malpractice that we’ve discussed in this space many times, but one of the most cringeworthy and degrading aspects of the globe-spanning narrative control campaign surrounding this war has been the way the nation’s president Volodymyr Zelensky has been turned into an ever-present corporate mascot for the most aggressive ad campaign ever devised.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Is Biden Being Blackmailed to Send US Combat Troops to Ukraine? – “Biden previously rejected the idea of sending troops to Ukraine acknowledging that it would be tantamount to launching a Third World War. But as the ‘classified documents’ scandal gains momentum, the malleable president will likely fall-in-line and do whatever the hawkish foreign policy establishment demands of him. In short, the documents flap is being used by behind-the-scenes powerbrokers who are blackmailing the president to pursue their own narrow interests. They have Brandon over-a-barrel.” – Mike Whitney

Guido Goldman, the CFR and the German Marshall Fund – “As Kissinger’s International Seminar was revealed to be a CIA-funded program, the elites of the CFR hatched a plan to create a new organization to train young global leaders.

Will China Force the U.S. to Restore Gold as Money? – “In response to the U.S. government’s weaponization of the dollar through such measures as sanctions and trade wars, China, along with Russia and other nations, are making efforts to dethrone the dollar as the world’s international reserve currency. For example, Russia and China are now using the Chinese yuan, rather than the dollar, for payment for Russian oil. Saudi Arabia is now talking about doing the same thing. One of the interesting aspects of this process involves gold.” – Jacob G. Hornberger

By the numbers: The de-dollarization of global trade – “Data suggests that US dollar reserves in central banks are dwindling, as is the influence of the US on the world economy. This presents a unique opportunity for regional currencies and alternative payment systems to enter the vacuum.” -By F.M. Shakil

This is taxpayer money that is not buying anything or investing in anything of value. It is just money to finance the debt.” – Schiff Gold

Standard of Living vs. Quality of Life – “If we search the roots of conflicts, social collapses, and even many non-natural disasters, we’ll find an economic distortion or bust. Economic, monetary, and financial downturns and crashes are the mother and father of almost every other man-made SHTF. That’s because the systems supporting a complex civilization are based on economy, finance, and trading. When those crack or stumble, everything else follows.” – Fabian Ommar

I’m not only a prepper, but I’ve bought and sold silver countless times over the years, so while I am no coin expert, I know enough about silver to navigate the market and know where to buy it, what to buy, and what sells best should you need to offload it. In my opinion, the best silver for preppers to buy is a mix of both junk silver coins and silver eagles.” – Derrick James – GOOD ARTICLE FROM DERRICK ON THE DIFFERENT WAYS TO BUY SILVER.

Looks like the ship of the Deep State got some holes ripped in its hull and may be fixing to go down sometime in 2023. The fun-and-games about voting for Speaker of the House are over. Time to get down to bidness and compel some folks to do some ‘splainin’ under oath. Forget about Fauci for the moment. First, subpoena the various deputies working under him going back as far as the twentieth century and see what they know about the twisted path that gain-of-function research on corona viruses traveled from the DOD’s DARPA to the labs of Dr. Ralph Baric at the U of North Carolina, to labs in Canada, Ukraine, and finally to Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. Time for FBI Director Christopher Wray to ‘splain’ how come he sat silently in possession of the Hunter Biden laptop — stuffed as it was with deal memoranda about payoffs from Ukraine and other foreign lands..

Responding to the question, “Will ARPA-H focus on specific diseases?” they respond: No. Our aim is to provide dynamic, transformative health solutions for all people across a broad range of diseases.

Joe Biden and the idiot elites – “What Biden’s stash of secret documents tells us about the dimwitted establishment. So, is Joe Biden a threat to national security? Is he, in fact, a ‘national security risk unlike any the United States has ever faced’? Does he pose a ‘severe danger’ to the American people? Is he a ‘potent’ threat to the republic itself? All those things were said in the legacy media, in tones of apocalyptic fury, when it was discovered that Donald Trump had classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. So I trust the same will be said now that Top Secret docs have been found in the building that houses Joe Biden’s think-tank and even in Biden’s own garage. Of course they won’t. ” – Brendan O’Neill

Will You Beat Uncle Sam’s Relentless Pursuit of Your Wealth? – “The United States is lurching towards an epic financial catastrophe. This isn’t a novel insight. The great tragedy has been in the works for decades. Anyone with a mild inkling of curiosity knows what’s going on. Presently, the U.S. national debt is over $31.4 trillion. Factor in unfunded liabilities – such as social security, Medicare parts A, B, and D, federal debt held by the public, and federal employee and veteran benefits – and the number jumps to $173.5 trillion. That comes to over $519,000 per citizen. These debts won’t magically disappear. However, they won’t be directly paid either. Simple arithmetic doesn’t allow it. But they will be paid, nonetheless. You’ll pay with your time and your talents. You’ll pay with a declining standard of living. In fact, you already are.” – MN Gordon

The Mother of All Limited Hangouts – “The Mother of All Limited Hangouts has begun. Yes, I’m talking about the “Covid Twitter Files,” which are finally being released to the public, in almost textbook limited-hangout fashion. The part you release is the “limited hangout.” It’s not a lie. It’s just not the whole story. You “hang it out” so that it will become the whole story, and thus stop people from pursuing the whole story. All right, so, you’re probably asking, if the “Covid Twitter Files” are a limited hangout, what’s the whole story that they’re distracting us from? Let me try to refresh your memory. All right, so … the “Covid Twitter Files,” or the “Fauci Files,” or whatever we’re calling them. If you wanted to bury the actual story with a limited hangout and discredit those of us who have been trying to report it for nearly three years, you couldn’t do any better than Elon Musk is doing. Instead of a story about how the entire global-capitalist power apparatus coordinated with global IT corporations like Twitter, Facebook, Google, et al., to conduct a global Gleichschaltung op the scale of which Goebbels could have never dreamed of, censoring and visibility-filtering dissent and enforcing the official pandemic narrative, not just in the USA, but in countries all throughout the world … instead of that monumental story, we are getting The Alex Berenson Show!” – CJ Hopkins

‘Always check your assumptions’ – “Regarding my Covid “early spread” hypothesis, I keep trying to point out that an important assumption of the alleged experts has been wrong all along. Because of one false assumption, experts have ignored the most important evidence.

Unfortunately, if there is any spirit left, it is being manipulated through deceit and deception. But are Americans and Canadians really suffering all that much due to Covid? I think the unvaxxed are suffering quite a bit more. But what about the sheep? I think they think they are going with the flow and taking it all on the chin. And although Covid may be terrifying to them in many ways, I think they feel they are doing a good job rolling with the punches. And now, after their great Herculean effort wearing masks, staying away from people in the grocery store, getting jabbed five times (actually, I don’t think the jabbing was ever difficult for sheep), struggling through business closures (not for the actual business owners, THAT was a real struggle) they believe they are being rewarded for their efforts—Covid has left the building—mostly.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Don’t Trust the Government with Your Privacy, Property or Your Freedoms – “Don’t trust the government with your privacy, digital or otherwise. In the two decades since 9/11, the military-security industrial complex has operated under a permanent state of emergency that, in turn, has given rise to a digital prison that grows more confining and inescapable by the day. Wall-to wall surveillance, monitored by AI software and fed to a growing network of fusion centers, render the twin concepts of privacy and anonymity almost void.

With the reported discovery of a second batch of highly classified documents connected to President Biden, the decisions of Attorney General Merrick Garland are fast moving from the inexplicable to incomprehensible. Garland was presumably briefed that classified documents were discovered in Joe Biden’s old office on Nov. 2. He also presumably knew about the Biden documents when he appointed a special counsel to investigate the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago 16 days later. President Biden, meanwhile, is feigning ignorance, simply saying he was “surprised” the documents were there. By not discussing the content of the documents, Biden minimizes his vulnerability to charges of obstruction or false statements. He can simply declare “surprise,” knowing that many in the media will welcome his silence as they spin the scandal.” – Jonathan Turley
