THE BIG PICTURE

Here We Go Again: Gretchen Whitmer admin issues emergency executive order over avian influenza – “Previous use of unilateral power resulted in lockdowns, business closures, mandated masks. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s administration has declared an “extraordinary animal health emergency” and imposed “the most comprehensive measures in the country” to combat highly pathogenic avian influenza.” – The Midwesterner Staff

The WHO’s plan for public-health tyranny – “Unelected officials want the power to drag us back into lockdown. The World Health Organisation’s proposal for a global ‘pandemic treaty’ has been a political and public-relations disaster. When elected representatives around the world highlighted that the plans pose a clear threat to national decision-making autonomy, the WHO director general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, went on the offensive. Using the global stage of the World Governments Summit in February this year, he accused those raising concerns of spreading a ‘litany of lies and conspiracy theories’.” – Molly Kingsley

Vets Co-Opted – “Our dog needs flea meds – so I went to the vet yesterday to get them. The vet would not sell me the flea meds he used to sell me unless I first brought our dog in for an “exam,” which is akin to the way (in most states) you’re effectively forced to bring in your car for an “exam” – styled “safety inspection” – before the government will continue to allow you to (legally) drive it. Our dog is fine. He needs an “exam” like our cars need an “inspection.” All being in good working order. What the vet – and the government – need is money. The “exam” – and “inspection” – being the pretext for coercing us to pay it.” – Eric Peters – I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT ERIC IS TALKING ABOUT AS WELL AS DO MOST PET OWNERS. MORE CONTROL OR OUR LIVES IN EVERYTHING WE DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The WaPo Sinks Even Lower, Falsely Reports On Southern Coastal Sea Level Rise – “The Washington Post (WaPo) ran a story recently saying that sea level rise has become unprecedented on the East and Southeast coasts of the United States. The story is extremely misleading when not outright false. WaPo fails to explain that the areas it highlights are naturally unstable with their shores waxing and waning regularly.” – Anthony Watts

The difficult conversation we need to have – “In the Covid debacle, all roads lead back to capital. “How can we have the virtues of capital (dynamism, growth, entrepreneurship, speed/efficiency, unbridled human creativity, and prosperity) without the corruption of capital (monopolies, slavery, war, genocide, oppression, and fascism)?” That’s what no one has figured out.” – Toby Rogers  – GOOD POINTS FROM TOBY AS USUAL!!!

NEWS

So That’s Who’s Screwing Everything Up – “Of the elites, by the elites, for the elites… The Elite 1%. They represent 1% of the population. They’re extremely influential. Most went to one of 12 elite schools, many of which have been in the news lately. The reason I bring that up is about half of the policy positions in government, and half of the corporate board positions in America are held by people who went to one of these schools. So their views play a large role in the country.” – John Rubino

It’s Not “Radical” to Oppose Genocide – “Apologists for the Israeli government and its genocidal policies are now warning us about “radicalized” college and university students. Apparently, it’s “radical” to protest genocide, famine, and ceaseless bombing. Contrariwise, it’s apparently “normal” to support mass murder, total destruction, and widespread starvation. Talk about a world turned upside down … Of course, it’s only “radical” to oppose genocide if you live in a totalitarian state that’s prosecuting that genocide or aiding others in prosecuting it.” – Bill Astore

The beast of ideology lifts the lid on transformation – “The police repression of student protests exposes sheer intolerance towards those voicing condemnation against the violence in Gaza.” – Alastair Crooke

Biden And Aides Laugh At Reporters Trying To Ask Questions – “Not even hiding it anymore” – Steve Watson

The Looming Chaos – “The main reason Trump continues to move toward the Republican nomination and a general election rematch is he is blessed with the best enemies. The two Federal court cases are now stalled indefinitely. In both cases, the reason for the delay is the chief inquisitor appointed by the Biden administration is proving to be an incompetent fanatic who cannot stop lying to the court. In the most recent example, he was forced to admit the FBI tampered with evidence and lied about it. …the deranged Jack Smith thought he could get into a street fight with a guy who prefers street fights. In the fullness of time, Jack Smith will be remembered as one of Trump’s dumbest adversaries. The guy has managed to turn the power of the Federal government into a liability.” – The Z Man

Stormy Daniels Day: Alvin Bragg Lights Dumpster Fire in Manhattan – “It was a dumpster fire that Judge Merchan watched burn for a full day and then said the jury may have to disregard much of what they saw and heard.” – Jonathan Turley

CNN Raises Alarm after Stormy Daniels Admits She ‘Hates’ Trump during Testimony: ‘Her Responses Were Disastrous!’ – “Daniels’ testimony is filled with inflammatory statements that are not relevant to the case.

Private US Firm With Special Forces Veterans To Take Control Of Rafah Border Crossing – “US defense contractors & boots on the ground?” – Tyler Durden

Putin Is Letting It Get Too Late to Turn Aside from Nuclear Armageddon – “The Russian government including President Putin now publicly acknowledges that Western provocations are increasing in scope and seriousness and are spinning the Ukrainian conflict out of control. The Russian government has stated that the American F-16 aircraft supplied to Ukraine by the idiotic governments of Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, and Belgium will “be treated as nuclear-capable weapons.” These developments confirm that I was correct that Putin’s never-ending conflict would permit ever increasing Western interventions until the situation spins out of control. As Putin has never enforced any of his many red lines that the West has crossed in Ukraine, the West no longer regards Russian warnings as meaningful.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Russia Has No Interest In Assassinating Zelensky – “It isn’t Russia that has an interest in assassinating Zelensky, but he himself who has an interest in making the West think that it does, to say nothing of the West’s most hawkish anti-Russian policymaking faction that understands the political importance of him being “martyred” in the present military-strategic context.” – Andrew Korybko

Crunching Numbers: Ukraine Munitions “Ramp-up” Buzz, Real or Hype? – Simplicius

The Insanity of the Regime Changers – “If the only way to “win” is regime change in two countries, that tells us that winning is not a realistic goal. Kasparov calls for more regime changes in The Wall Street Journal: The only way to win this long war is through regime change in Moscow and Tehran. Such change will be brought closer by isolating Russia and Iran politically and economically and by halting their foreign aggression. Kasparov’s argument is deranged, but it is useful in reminding us how extreme and dangerous this worldview is. If hardliners like Kasparov had their way, they would unleash chaos and instability unlike anything most of us have seen in our lifetimes.” – Daniel Larison

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

The “Soft Landing” Lie: A Global Economic Slowdown Is Already Underway – “If people have learned anything from the past few years of Ivy League elites and TV talking heads feeding them economic predictions, I hope they finally understand that the “experts” are usually wrong and that alternative analysts have a far better track record. Whenever establishment economists make a a call the opposite generally turns out to be true. By extension, alternative economic predictions are usually well ahead of the curve – What we talk about might be labeled “doom mongering” or “conspiracy theory” today. In three years or less it will be treated as common knowledge and the mainstream “experts” will claim that they “saw it coming all along” while taking credit for financial calls they never made. This has been a long running pattern and it’s something those of us in the alternative media have come to expect.” – Brandon Smith  – GOOD ONE FROM BRANDON AS ALWAYS!!
