Today’s constructive world cannot survive without crude oil – “Without crude oil, there would be nothing that needs electricity! The elephant in the room that no one wants to discuss is that crude oil is the foundation of our materialistic society as it is the basis of all products and fuels demanded by the 8 billion on this planet. As a reality check for those pursuing net-zero emissions, wind and solar do different things than crude oil. Unreliable renewables, like wind turbines and solar panels, only generate occasional electricity but manufacture no products for society. Crude oil is virtually never used to generate electricity but, when manufactured into petrochemicals, is the basis for virtually all the products that did not exist before the 1800s being used at these infrastructures like transportation, airports, hospitals, medical equipment, appliances, electronics, telecommunications, communications systems, space programs, heating and ventilating, and militaries.” – Ronald Stein

Moderna’s influence over the US and UK governments is more than most realise – “The sheer sprawl, corruption, influence and involvement of Moderna in politics and the wider medical industry is staggering. It is difficult to convey and harder to comprehend,” – Rhoda Wilson

The Corn Ethanol and Water Pollution Boondoggle – “Use land for food, not folly. The United States leads the world in biofuel production. Of the 92 million American acres planted to corn in 2023, approximately 40% will be processed into ethanol to meet subsidized mandates in Americans’ fuel blends.” – John Klar

Why are so Many Californians Dying? – “Covid has claimed about 105,000 lives in the state since 2020. In that same time period, 82,000 more Californians died from everything else than is typical. Adjusted for the decline in population, that non-Covid “excess death” figure becomes even more concerning as the state has seen its population drop to about the same it was in 2015. In 2015 – obviously there was no Covid – 260,000 of the then 39 million Californians died. In 2023, not including November and December, 240,000 people died not from Covid (6,000 additional people died of Covid.). In other words, the net “from Covid” deaths may not be terribly different from the “from the Covid response” death count. And that possibility is the most terrifying of all.” – Thomas Buckley

Even today, no college or pro athlete has died from Covid – “I’ve already established the mortality risk from Covid for healthy children is virtually zero, but the same statistic is true for healthy young adults.” – Bill Rice Jr.  – BUT THEY SURE DROPPED DEAD FROM THE JAB!!!!

Apocalypse Now: The Government’s Use of Controlled Chaos to Maintain Power – “Will 2024 be the year the Deep State’s exercise in controlled chaos finally gives way to an apocalyptic dismantling of our constitutional republic, or what’s left of it? All the signs seem to point in this direction. For years now, the government has been pushing us to the brink of a national nervous breakdown.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Nikki Haley, American History and Intellectual Honesty – “When Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley answered a question last week in which she stated that the American Civil War was fought over “government,” “rights” and “freedoms,” she was correct. Yet, like most politicians, when she realized that the popular answer should have been “slavery,” she modified her answer. She should have stood her ground. Hear me out. This column is hardly indifferent to slavery. Slavery is the most morally reprehensible institution in history.” – Andrew P. Napolitano

We Are Entirely Too Close To Another Major War In The Middle East – “There are entirely too many fronts along which a new horrific war in the middle east could potentially erupt, and things are entirely too close to the brink on all of them.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Julian Assange’s Trojan Wars With Mike Pompeo & Hillary Clinton – “Even though Pompeo, who owes his exalted position to the Koch brothers and some other colourful American billionaires, has called for Assange’s assassination, that is one of his less outrageously violent demands. Although Pompeo calls Assange “a fraud—a coward hiding behind a screen”, Assange has no Internet access in Stalag Belmarsh and it is a strange sort of coward, who rankles Empire and pays the price for it in the manner Assange did, just as it is for Pompeo, who never fired a shot in anger in his life, to shoot off his well fed mouth in this manner. And, as Pompeo believes Edward Snowden “should be brought back from Russia and given due process”, before being put to death, we can see that Pompeo does not have the best interests of dissidents like Assange or Snowden at heart. And nor, despite the better angels of her nature, will Hillary Clinton, who is more morally rudderless than Lady Macbeth and whose own impressive rap sheet is much too long to go into detail here.” – Declan Hayes

Iowa School Shooter Identified, Allegedly Part of the Transgender Movement – “a school shooting occurred in Iowa on Thursday morning. According to reports, the shooter opened fire before 8:00 AM, injuring at least three people before taking his own life. The incident happened at Perry High School in Dallas County, with police quickly securing the scene. Certainly, though, he does not fit the typical left-wing caricature of a mass-shooter, and because of that, you can expect this story to recede into the background very quickly. This is a developing story.” – Bonchie

Biden administration cleans up border for congressional visit: Nothing to see here, move along – “oe Biden’s keeping to his priorities in this presidential term he’s ‘serving’ and that means appearances are more important than reality. Which brings us to the border, where a Congressional delegation of 60 is expected to make an appearance in the migrant-surging Del Rio Border Patrol sector, and all of a sudden, the border’s empty, under control, almost nobody coming.” – Monica Showalter

The Free Money Has Run Out and it Shows in the Polls – “The third and largest round of fiscal stimulus was in March of 2021. That’s when Biden’s popularity peaked at 55.1 percent.” – Mish

We Have to Budget, But the US Government Doesn’t. They “Misplaced” $21 Trillion. – “There are two sets of books. One, the information available to the public is only loosely connected with real transactions. The second set of books, the real one, is kept by that small number of people who determine what is relevant to national security and funnel money where they see fit. In case this sounds far-fetched, I encourage you to explore the “Missing Money” videos on Solari.com.” – Marie Hawthorne

ISRAEL inciting WWIII to Deflect A BRICS Alliance RESET – “Israel has just picked WWIII attacking Iran and killing over 100 in the process. Two bombs were remotely detonated at an Iranian Holy grave site for martyrs. The perpetrators are believed to be the Mossad and possibly the CIA. The reason? The Western Cabal is losing. Losers tend to bomb without strategy.” – Helena Glass

Fifth Column State – “No one knows for sure who coined the term “fifth column” but it seems to have originated in Spain during the civil war. A fifth column is a group of people that conspire to undermine a larger group from within by disguising themselves as supporters. This is all relevant today as the client list of Jeffrey Epstein makes the rounds and is used by partisans in the usual partisan way. Lost in the usual bellowing is the fact that Epstein was an agent of a foreign state. Of course, the foreign state for whom Epstein worked was Israel. His long-time paramour was Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of Ian Robert Maxwell, whose real name was Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch. Maxwell was a high-level intelligence officer for Mossad his entire life. ” – The Z Man

Jeffrey Epstein and the neverending quest for evil – “Give it up, people – there is no secret sect of powerful paedophiles. Well, that was a nothingburger. The reality? The court docs contain the same old, same old. Epstein was friends with famous people, some of whom holidayed on his fancy island. Don’t hold the front page.Bill Clinton ‘likes them young’. Epstein allegedly said that to one of the women he exploited for sex. The president famous for ejaculating on the dress of his 22-year-old White House intern likes young women? Will the shocks never cease? ‘This isn’t the list some people expected’, said a Sky News analysis, ” – Brendan O’Neill  – THE LIST IS A DISTRACTION AS SOME HAVE SUGGESTED.

Plagiarism isn’t racism, but noticing it apparently is – “Gay reportedly committed plagiarism around 50 times in her academic career and that’s what she was attacked for. This was her professional ethics, not something she did as a teenager, but now it’s forbidden to delve into someone’s history? Now it’s racist to do it? What most of these people taking issue with the plagiarism discovery are missing is that none of them are claiming it didn’t happen, that the accusations aren’t valid. Absolutely none of them are arguing what Gay did was normal or acceptable. No, they’re just pissed that people on this side of the aisle discovered it. Well, too bad.” – Tom Knighton

ECONOMIC NEWS

America’s Empire Of Money Has Reached The Endgame – “Nations all over the globe are starting to move away from using the U.S. dollar in international trade, and they are becoming a lot more hesitant to buy our debt. You can only borrow and spend so much before the entire Ponzi scheme collapses, and at this moment we are more than 34 trillion dollars in debt…” – Michael Snyder

2024 Could Be Horrible For the Dollar (VIDEO) – “As long as the U.S. continues to run these deficits, the pressure on the dollar will persist. Meanwhile, investors are flocking to other safe haven assets, like the Swiss Franc. In 2023, the Franc was up a whopping 10%: That is a very negative sign for the dollar for 2024 and a positive sign for gold because people are buying the Swiss frank as a safe haven. Gold is an even safer haven than the Swiss franc, but the fact that the Swiss franc is gaining so much on the dollar is an indication that people are leery of the dollar.”” – Peter Schiff

What To Do in 2024?- “There has been a tremendous amount of change in our country, just in the past three years, not to mention the years and decades before. It’s as if, the worst of the worst scenarios have accelerated, and many of us feel it in our bones that things are going to get worse in our country (America). I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, and it was a wonderful childhood. But, as I look back, I can see how the gross inflation and economic problems of the 1970s affected my father, while he insulated us children from most of it. I remember times were leaner, much leaner. But, he always had a job, or found one, and kept us safe and warm. The reason I bring up those years is because economically it was a disastrous time. There were wars and a tremendous loss of life.” – SaraSue

How to ‘Neighbor-Proof’ Your Property – “OPSEC is an important part of prepping. None of us want people showing up at our door, after a disaster strikes, expecting us to feed and take care of them. It’s hard enough finding enough money to stockpile food and other essential supplies for our families, let alone thinking about how we’re going to feed others. While I believe in helping out those less fortunate than I, I’m not willing to risk shortening my children’s lives in order to do so. So, we practice OPSEC; trying to keep our activities secret from family, friends, and neighbors.” – Rich M.

VERSES FOR THE DAY (USE THIS ONE ABOUT EVERY 3-4 YEARS)

Proverbs 4:14-17    Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.  Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.  For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.  For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
