THE BIG PICTURE

Governments Start Calling For Price Controls – Rationing And CBDCs Come Next – “Inflation is not going away anytime soon, but the bigger issue at hand is who benefits most from inflation and rising prices? The answer might be obvious to some but many people are oblivious to the root cause of inflationary dysfunction and often see it as a consequence of random economic chaos rather than a product of clever engineering. The truth is, banking oligarchs and political authorities revel in the inflationary tidal wave because it is a perfect opportunity to institute far reaching socialist controls over resources.” – Brandon Smith

Beware of nations, states, corporations, or groups offering benefits that require digital ID: You are entering a ‘covenant with death’ – “The nation of Kazakhstan, one of Russia’s southern neighbors, has partnered with the United Nations Development Programme in rolling out a new digital ID that offers social welfare programs called the “Digital Family Card.” What’s this got to do with me, you ask? This is but one example of how the digital ID will come at you, regardless of where you live on Planet Earth in the 21st century.” – Leo Hohmann

Devastating risks of transitioning to ‘green’ energy: Mining for electric-powering minerals has left 23 million people exposed to toxic waste, 500,000km of rivers polluted and 16 million acres of farmland ruined – Matthew Phelan  – AND THEY’RE ONLY JUST BEGINNING. AND SPEAKING OF TOXIC POLLUTION AND WASTING WATER, SEE BELOW!!!

Sales of EVs are booming in Europe but are we equipped to tackle blazes caused by batteries? – “Unlike traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) cars, EVs and hybrid cars are powered by lithium-ion batteries which, according to experts, pose different challenges and risks. One of the known hazards in these kinds of batteries is “thermal runaway,” a rapid increase in temperature that leads to fires that are hard to extinguish. Fire in EVs can start a while after a crash, for example, and can spontaneously re-ignite. They also produce a toxic gas called hydrogen fluoride when burning. Exposure to hydrogen fluoride can be an additional risk even with protective clothing, experts say. Snuffing out fires caused by lithium batteries can take thousands of gallons of water, much more than the volume required to stop a gasoline car fire.” – Roselyne Min

Depopulation or Population Collapse? (VIDEO) – “Manufactured Famine, Plague and War and falsified science are already on the menu by those who Rule the World.”- Sage Hana

Russell Brand is not the main target, but a mere proxy for the censors’ global assault on free speech – “The political establishment wants to cut off all avenues of free speech. The forces for censorship are engaged in a much broader campaign to target our right to speak freely and earn a living by contributing value on the internet. And in CCP Social Credit Score-like fashion, they want to establish a Great Firewall of information and shut off the remaining popular “free speech zones” on the internet. Using Brand as a proxy is just another way to achieve their end game.” – Jordan Schachtel

‘Blobbery’ – “The new science of blobology informs us that political blobs blow up like dying stars gorging on runaway fusion.The blob expands beyond the viable limits of its internal contradictions and implodes in a spectacular vacuum of absurdity. The Washington DC blob’s dire pulsations lately signal that it’s about to blow its toxic endoplasm all over our nation’s capital, drowning many denizens in deadly slime. Did you catch Attorney General Merrick Garland’s performance Wednesday before the House Judiciary Committee? The absurdity ran pretty rank in the chamber as the AG artfully evaded explaining how it is he doesn’t know a darn thing about the consequential cases in process at his DOJ — and if he did happen to know, he wouldn’t be able to say because… reasons.” – James Howard Kunstler

‘Opinions Are Threats’—We Are Not Allowed To Have Them – “The 1st tactic of the elite was to cancel any criticism of what they saw as their mandate. The 2nd step was to quell any meaningful discussion of that mandate. Now we see the 3rd step: personal opinion is a threat that we’re not allowed to have. Contrary opinions need to be criminalized—but 1st, sharing of personal opinion needs to stop. For this they have a plan: Their dictates are framed in terms of ‘public health’. Guns need to go because they present a threat to public health. ‘Climate change’ must be fast-tracked’ (into impossible Net Zero), because the consequences for not acting threaten public health. mRNA—not taking untested experiments puts public health at risk. Now, for the sake of public health, they need to eradicate our personal opinions. ” – neverhadaboss.com  – ANOTHER GOOD READ FROM ERIK!!!!

Communism, Fascism, Globalism — What’s the Difference? – “At the end of the day, we are talking about a system of government in which centralized power belongs to a small group of elites who use their control over economic, military, and intelligence-collecting institutions to rule over everyone else. Whether it is a government run by Mussolini, a king, the self-described “proletariat,” or an international cabal of central banks and corporations — it is a dictatorship all the same. Let’s not pretend that raw “democracy” is significantly different.” – J.B. Shurk

With border surging, Biden cooks up new ways to make it worse – “The U.S. southern border is now a full-blown disaster. Illegal border crossings are hitting record highs now, and even the mainstream press is taking notice. The Border Patrol reported that 35,000 illegal migrants crossed into the U.S. into the Eagle Pass corridor in just four days. ” – Monica Showalter

In loco parentis – “Schools act in loco parentis, which means “in the place of the parents,” while kids are in school. This means they are granted a certain degree of authority over the students in their care. The problem of late has been that schools have taken that to a ridiculous degree. Many teachers and administrators believe their authority supersedes that of the parent, that they can make decisions for the child irrespective of the parents. We’ve seen this a lot surrounding the debate of gender transitioning children. Some schools are determined to facilitate this without even telling the parents. But this is spilling over elsewhere.” – Tom Knighton – A MUST READ FROM TOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything that’s wrong with America in one sentence – “Guess who’s exempt from a potential government shutdown?  Isn’t it nice to know that even if the U.S. federal government shuts down, Ukraine will still get all the weapons and related military aid they need to continue to fight and kill Russians? Americans may be furloughed from their jobs or have to work for no pay, but Ukraine will get paid. That one sentence shows you the priorities for “your” government. Guess what? You’re not a priority, but war overseas is. ” – Bill Astore

Rahm Emmanuel in Japan, goes rogue on China – “As one White House official put it, his trolling is “not in keeping with the message coming out of this building.” The Biden White House is reportedly trying to rein in the U.S. ambassador to Japan, Rahm Emanuel, whose social media trolling of the Chinese government in recent weeks has become increasingly combative. According to NBC News, Biden aides have asked Emanuel to stop mocking Xi Jinping online over China’s economic woes and the removal of several high-profile officials.” – Daniel Larison

Flying on a Wing and a Prayer – “The main essence, as we understand it, is that over the last 18 months the Federal Reserve has reduced its balance sheet by nearly $1 trillion. With less Fed credit available, market interest rates must go higher. As interest rates go up, asset prices (stocks, bonds, and real estate) will eventually go down. It is important to understand this. Because if you don’t, you may end up doing something you’ll regret. The consequences of which you’ll have to live with.” – MN Gordon

Properly Assessing Your Survival Zone – “When you suddenly find yourself thrust into a life-or-death survival situation, the experience can be overwhelming, sending shock waves through your mind and body. Panic can grip you in an instant, and it feels like your very existence is hanging in the balance. However, it’s entirely natural for most people to respond this way when confronted with the unknown and the fear of imminent danger. Yet, there’s a way to mitigate these instincts, and it begins with a well-thought-out game plan.” – Bob Rodgers

In many cases, water that you drink every day has radioactive materials in trace amounts, or low levels, that are harmless. However, higher levels of radioactive contaminants in water can be harmful or even fatal.” – Amy S
