Sucharit Bhakdi & the prosecution of “thought crime” – “Eminent and influential “covid” skeptic Dr Sucharit Bhakdi is about to be prosecuted tomorrow, May 23, under German law: Now you may or may not agree with Bhakdi’s statements regarding the Jews and Israel. It’s your free right to do either. You might think he doesn’t go far enough in condemning Israel, or you might think he goes too far. You might think he expressed himself clumsily and without due regard for the difference between Jewish people and the arguably criminal Israeli state. You might think it’s a stretch to describe modern Israel as “worse” than the Nazis, or you might think it’s more than accurate. But all of that is missing the real point, which is – Bhakdi is being prosecuted for expressing an opinion. That’s all.The real question here isn’t do you agree with him, it’s do you, or any of us, want to live in a world in which a person can be penalized by the state, fined or put in prison, for the thoughts in their head? For thought crime? This is why Bhakdi deserves your support.” – Off Guardian

The ESG agenda is marching across Russia – “Herman Gref’s ESG evangelism is paying dividends. Herman Gref is plowing ahead with his Davos-inspired “client path” for Russia. As part of his never-ending campaign to make life intolerable, the CEO of Russia’s largest vax-shilling bank has been methodically spreading the ESG Gospel.” – Edward Slavsquat / Riley Waggaman

NEWS 

Most Americans still waiting for that white knight to swoop in and save us from our insane government – “The date of November 5, 2024, is less than 18 months away and I dread it. Why? Because Americans waste a lot of energy every four years focusing on presidential elections, and many still hold the dream of there being one man out there who will swoop in and magically return us to that shining city on a hill. Mr. Fix It is waiting in the wings. This has become a four-year cycle of distraction. An exercise in theater. I have no time for it. There are many reasons why one man or woman is incapable of turning America around but first among them is that our system was not designed to be ruined or fixed by a single person.” – Leo Hohmann

Rein in the FBI: Put an End to the FBI’s Gestapo Tactics – “”Power corrupts. We know this. In fact, we know this from experience learned the hard way at the hands of our own government. So why is anyone surprised to learn that the FBI, one of the most power-hungry and corrupt agencies within the police state’s vast complex of power-hungry and corrupt agencies, misused a massive government surveillance database more than 300,000 times in order to target American citizens? This is how the government operates, after all. – John & Nisha Whitehead

Our Biggest Threat – “Both liberals and conservatives are convinced that the biggest threat to our freedom and well-being lies with Russia and China. And, well, also the terrorists, Muslims, drug dealers, illegal immigrants, North Koreans, Cubans, Syrians, Vietnamese, communists, Reds, and others. They are wrong. The biggest threat to our freedom and well-being is our very own federal government, especially the national-security branch of the federal government. The Framers clearly understood this. That’s why the Constitution strictly limited the powers of federal officials. Our American ancestors also clearly understood this. That’s why they demanded the enactment of the Bill of Rights. They knew that the federal government would inevitably attract people who would destroy their fundamental, God-given rights of life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness. With the Bill of Rights, they wanted to make it clear to all those future little federal power-mongers that they lacked the powers to engage in such destruction.” – Jacob G. Hornberger

Harry Truman’s Salvo Against the CIA Following JFK Assassination – “There is something about the way the CIA has been functioning that is casting a shadow over our historic position and I feel that we need to correct it. For some time I have been disturbed by the way CIA has been diverted from its original assignment. It has become an operational and at times a policy-making arm of the Government. This has led to trouble and may have compounded our difficulties in several explosive areas. I never had any thought that when I set up the CIA that it would be injected into peacetime cloak and dagger operations. ” – Jon Miltimore

Bakhmut/Artyomovsk Falls To Russia—Media Blackout on CNN, MSNBC; Zelensky, From Outside Ukraine, Flatly Denies Russian Victory: “Bakhmut Is Not Occupied By The Russian Federation As Of Today.” – Celia Farber  – GUESS IT DEPENDS WHO YOU BELIEVE. I THINK WE KNOW!!!

War – “In Bakhmut/Artyomovsk, all of NATO, all 31 member nations, were defeated by a restaurant owner and a bunch of convicts, is how I saw someone describe it. That of course caricatures the situation somewhat (Wagner is well-organized), but it’s not that far off. And that spells a serious problem for NATO. All of those 31 members may have lots of control over their media, but in the end you can’t endlessly deny being defeated. So what will NATO do now? They will double down, and then again. And at the end of the “doubling down road” lie nuclear weapons. Not Russian nukes, because as my friend Wayne wrote the other day, their high-precision hypersonic missiles make nukes look crude and primitive, Middle Ages territory. But NATO/US never developed such weapons. They spent 10+ times as much money on weapons, still do, and -comparatively – ended up with bows and arrows. Nuclear bombs are good only to create widespread panic and destruction. But that includes your own destruction, because of Mutually Assured Destruction protocols. Which also go back almost as far as the bow and arrow. If you fire a nuclear missile, one very much like it will land on your head a few minutes later. End of story, end of you.” – Raúl Ilargi Meijer  – RAUL HASN’T WRITTEN MUCH LATELY. HE’S BACK AND HASN’T LOST HIS TOUCH!!!

The Ever Widening War – ““No tanks for Ukraine.” Now tanks for Ukraine. “No long range missiles for Ukraine.” Now long range missiles for Ukraine. “No F-16s for Ukraine.” Now F-16s for Ukraine. “No attacks on Russian soil.” Now attacks on Russian soil. As I have emphasized, Putin’s unwillingness to use sufficient force to bring the conflict to an end is escalating the war.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Pope Francis Allies With That Zelensky Creep to Wage War on the Civilised World – “This article primarily looks at how Pope Francis has traded Europe’s rich Catholic heritage for a mess of NATO pottage. The proximate catalyst for this critique is the Pope allowing that coke-snorting Ukrainian con-man Zelensky to deliberately defile the Vatican and the office of Christ’s Vicar on Earth by strutting about in his Nazi branded gear and thereby shred every thread of protocol there is. Because Zelensky’s presence in the Vatican has defiled not only the Eternal City but all of Europe, my own little cabbage patch included, the article also serves as a form of catharsis, of cleaning the stench that vulgar slug leaves in his wake” – Declan Hayes

Trump SuperPAC has already spent more money attacking DeSantis than spent on backing GOP candidates in the 2022 midterms – “I wonder how many others who would happily vote for another term for Trump in November 2024 are disturbed by the barrage of outright nasty ads attacking Florida’s outstandingly successful governor? A man who hasn’t even declared his candidacy for president yet.” – Thomas Lifson

Watch: Joe Biden Accidentally Insults Nancy Pelosi, Brings Major 2024 Issue to Forefront in One Fell Swoop – “Biden – “with Nancy leading the way, you never had to worry about whether the bill would pass. If she said she had the votes, she had the votes every time. And she had to vote so many lifechanging pieces of legislation. She helped rescue the economy in the Great Depression…”” – Sister Toldjah

France to Confiscate All Private Land by 2025 – “The Lagleize law proposes to separate the ownership of the building from the land on which it is built. This means that a buyer could become the owner of his home without owning the land on which the property is built. In exchange for occupying the land, the owner of the building would pay rent to a freehold land agency (FLO).” – Martin Armstrong

Mobsters of the Mind – “Of “Legal” Drug Ads and Anti-Russia Messaging. Mobsters are known for breaking kneecaps to bend people to their will. Marketers break into heads with repetitive and manipulative advertising, images, and narratives. Mobsters of the mind, they are. I thought of this after watching all those repetitive (and largely interchangeable) ads for “legal” prescription drugs.” – Bill Astore

Elites launch all-out war on free speech – ““Election denier.” “Science denier.” “Climate-change denier.” “Conspiracy theorist.” “Hate speech.” “Fake news.” “Disinformation.” “Misinformation.” “Malinformation.” A bizarre new lexicon has been conjured up by America’s elites, the sole purpose of which is to discredit and ridicule – and if at all possible, censor entirely – speech that doesn’t support their increasingly dark and deranged agenda. In the greatest of ironies, the nation once boasting the most robust culture of freedom of speech and the press, undergirded by the strongest constitutional protections for those rights, is now ground zero for a total war on free expression. How could this happen in the United States of America?” – WND Staff

Russia Issues Dire Warning After US Approves Ukrainian Strikes On Crimea – “”Strikes on this territory are considered by us as an attack on any other region of the Russian Federation. It is important that the United States is fully aware of the Russian response,” Moscow’s ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, warned Sunday.” – Tyler Durden

ECONOMIC NEWS

Lifting the debt ceiling is not a social policy – “Since 1960, Congress has raised the debt ceiling 78 times, according to Bloomberg. The process of increasing the debt limit has become so regular that markets barely worry about it. Politicians believe that raising the debt ceiling is a social policy and that debt does not matter. Until it does. United States debt to GDP is now 123.4% and the risk of losing confidence on U.S. treasuries as the lowest risk asset is exceedingly high.” – Daniel Lacalle

Preppers’ Promised Land (Just Found) – “If you’re currently living in a densely populated area but considering building a rural homestead, maybe one that’s off-the-grid, you must also think about which state is the best choice for building that homestead in. Truth be told, you can find rural land to build a homestead and live a self-sufficient lifestyle in literally any of the fifty states. Yes, even Hawaii. But there’s also no denying that some states have a serious advantage in this regard over others. The one state that might have the most advantages over any other is a state that many people have not even heard of: Idaho.” – Nicholas Oetken – KEEP IN MIND THIS IS JUST THE AUTHOR’S OPINION.
