THE BIG PICTURE 

2024 & the Inevitable Rise of Biometrics – “Have you noticed a lot of two-factor authentication prompts lately? Are you getting emailed verification codes that take forever to arrive, so you have to request another? Perhaps you are asked to do captchas to “prove you’re human” and they seem to be getting more complex all the time or simply not working at all? Why do you think that might be? We’ll come back to that. Did you know we’re in a “breakthrough year” for biometric payment systems?” – Kit Knightly

Klaus Schwab Steps Down As World Economic Forum Executive Chairman – “…but do not fear, Schwab has seeded his organisation with various family members to take up the tyrannical new world order torch. ‘You’ll own nothing in retirement and be happy’… Wit the organization he founded 50 years ago bringing in nearly $500 million in revenue in the year ending March 2023 (and sitting on a neat pile of 200 million Swiss francs cash), Klaus Schwab will own some things as he reportedly steps back from his role running the World Economic Forum has has headed since 1971.” – Tyler durden

U.S. Bankrolling Creation of Deadlier, More Contagious Bird Flu Strains – “Under the guise of creating bird flu vaccines, U.S. government agencies and private funders like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are bankrolling gain-of-function research to make bird flu viruses more lethal and transmissible among mammals.” – John-Michael Dumais  – THEY JUST DON’T QUIT, DO THEY!!!!

Could Carbon Dioxide Be Convicted In A Criminal Court? – “Showing that there are no loons quite like global warming loons, Jim Dale, founder of the British Weather Services, recently “​​demanded” that “climate denial” should be “criminalized.” According to news from the “United Kingdom’s News Channel,” Dale “likened climate denial to flat earth conspiracy theories, arguing they are too dangerous for public discourse.” As our favorite Looney Tunes character would say, “what a maroon.” Yet it makes us wonder: If carbon dioxide were put on trial, charged with overheating our only planet, would it be convicted? Not if the trial were fair.” – I & I Editorial Board

A “State of Devolution” – “What are styled “conspiracy theories” are often compelling because they seem at least plausible – and when you combine that with the hope that they might be factual you have what is styled a “state of devolution.” This is the conspiracy theory that Trump is in fact still president (never mind he’s running for president) and that everything that’s happened since the 2020 election has been part of a carefully orchestrated script by the “white hats” to “expose” the corruption and treason of those who stole the election . . . by letting them steal it. What the devolutionists don’t see, of course, is objective reality. That Mark Miley (if a fart had a face, it’d be his) is indeed the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and does not work for Trump. He works for the hair-plugged grifter who took the job from Trump. ” – Eric Peters  – VERY GOOD READ FROM ERIC AS USUAL!!!

Sinking the Republic – “It’s the small businesses that drive employment, not multi-national corporations who easily shift their manufacturing to places with much lower labor costs. Authoritarian rule is needed to drive small businesses out of business. To what extent the federal government has been able to control small businesses through the EPA, OHSA and the like, is due to an inherent communism built into the bureaucratic dictatorship that has developed in the Untied States under the current constitution. Though it is unconstitutional and has even been ruled as such at times, the EPA and now the ATF have been able to institute their own regulations, without the approval of congress, that gives them extraordinary power. That’s the unconstitutional part of what they’ve been able to implement.” – T.L. Davis

Why our educational system needs to be fixed – “Most people understand the broad strokes of the idiocy that permeates our public schools—and yes, far too many of our private schools as well. If you click that little search icon and look up “teacher” or “school” and you’ll find a plethora of examples of how the woke mind virus has infested schools. Teachers openly and proudly announce they’re trying to indoctrinate our children in whatever leftist claptrap they hold dear, We all know this. Yet here’s the thing. That’s only part of the problem. In fact, our educational system was in shambles for quite a while before it got to that. Teachers might well have leaned leftward, but most felt obligated to at least try and hide it to some degree or another. They weren’t so brazen about it. But before that, we still had issues. A piece from 2015 at Education Week makes some horrific observations.” – Tom Knighton

Comparing Putin’s & Netanyahu’s Arrest Warrants – “The International Criminal Court asks for warrant against Netanyahu for war crimes.Only a year ago, the West were applauding the ICC’s decision to issue an arrest warrant for Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Now however, the arrest warrant against Netanyahu is “outrageous,” according to US President Joe Biden. Anthony Blinken said Washington “fundamentally rejects” the move. In reality, the ICC is a bit of a joke with many countries, including Russia, Israel and the US not recognising the court. Other countries, such as South Africa, just ignore the arrest warrants when it pleases them. It’s all just theatre to make one side cheer Putin’s warrant one minute and boo Netanyahu’s the next, with the other side doing the exact opposite. ” – The Naked Emperor

Biden’s Outrageous Double Standard -“The prosecutor’s application once again reminds us of how indefensible Israel’s conduct of this war has been. Everyone remembers how Biden cooperated with the ICC by providing evidence to help document Russian war crimes, and the president welcomed the warrant issued for Putin in 2023. Just a little over a year later, officials from a U.S. client state are credibly accused of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity and the president condemns the prosecutor when he applies the same standard to Israel.” – Daniel Larison

ECONOMIC NEWS

Blood Sucker Economy – “Last week brought news that the iconic restaurant chain Red Lobster has filed for bankruptcy protection and has started closing locations. The joke online is that Red Lobster’s all you can eat shrimp deal cost them millions because diversity would sit there for hours eating shrimp. but the real reason the chain has failed is that it was taken over by gangsters who made it into a bust-out. The gangsters in this case are private equity investors who bought up the chain. This bankruptcy is part of fleecing the dumb money that still remains trapped in the enterprise. As Peter Theil explained in his book, the path to wealth is finding a way to game the system. You find a flim-flam like the Red Lobster scam or you game government to let you make electric cars that no one needs or wants. The blood sucker economy is not about making things, fixing things, and inventing things. It is about robbing the people who do those things.” – The Z Man

All That Glitters Isn’t Gold: Silver Has Outperformed Gold During This Gold Bull Run – Mike Maharrey

The China Syndrome – “Are we witnessing an epochal shift? Are the COMEX and LBMA losing their roles as precious metal market price maker for the entire world as influence and control shift to China? Maybe. Frankly, it’s too soon to know. But things certainly appear to be trending in that direction. And what would a shift in the balance of pricing power to China mean? The western Fractional Reserve and Digital Derivative Pricing Scheme has persisted for nearly 50 years. If the price begins to be driven by eastern physical demand instead of western paper supply, what might be the impact? Perhaps we’re already seeing that. Over the past week alone, the price of physical silver in Shanghai has risen by nearly 15% from $30/ounce to $35/ounce, closing Monday, May 20 at $35.30. The London/NY bullion banks risk losing copious amounts of metal in a physical arbitrage if they don’t allow the COMEX price to keep pace. ‘ – Craig Hemke

   THE BIG PICTURE 

Fugazy Land – “Really, you must agree: just about anything can happen now, and probably will, and possibly all at the same time — war, sickness, a disordered economy, chaos in money and finance, savages pouring across the open borders, assassination, mayhem in the streets, systems failure, mental illness everywhere you look. You have a sinister, blob-infested government acting like a desperate, cornered animal, fronted by a venal phantasm trailing a personal history of crime. What could go wrong? All of it. Fugazy finance is finally hitting the wall it has been seeking. Wealth based on pretense eventually runs out of hallucinatory mojo. Zooming gold and silver prices signal that the US dollar is in distress. The eagle is flying upside down. Fugazy war isn’t working either. When did Ukraine become a problem for Western Civ? When Victoria Nuland & Company in the US State Department decided to make it a problem in 2014. Before that, going back into the mists of history, Ukraine was not a problem. Fugazy pandemic sponsored by a Globalist pharmaceutical cabal has shot its wad. It has already accomplished a great deal in the way of bringing death and injury to millions. Dim as the people have become in their fog of TikTok mind-fuckery, they have started to notice the dead and dying around them. And the people who stupidly or maliciously caused it to happen — Deborah Birx, Robert Redfield, all the treasonous news-readers like Chris Cuomo and Andy Cooper — have commenced their modified-limited-hangouts to try to escape culpability.” – James Howard Kunstler  – GREAT SUMMATION OF THE BIG PICTURE FROM MR.

The Financial Incentive to Murder and Poison American Children (VIDEO ) – “There are more deaths from vaccines than from the diseases they are said to prevent. SIDs is sudden infant death syndrome. When you hear the word syndrome, it means we don’t know what it is. We don’t know what causes it. Well, we actually have a pretty good clue because there are six data sets. Studies that looked at SIDs when that infant died, relative to when they got a vaccine. In one data set, 97% were in the first ten days after the vaccine. We’ve known this for decades. The countries that have the most infant vaccines have the highest infant mortality. Guess where the US stands? We are number one in infant vaccines. We are number one in industrial countries for infant mortality.”- Greg Reese

An Empire Self-Destructs – “Fast-forward to the post-millennium era and we see that America, like the previous empires, ended its acquisition of gold after World War II, yet its people became spoiled by political leaders who promised ever-increasing bread and circuses. The productivity that led to its initial strength was dying off, and it was spending more than it was bringing in. Finally, it sought to maintain its hegemony through warfare, thereby creating a dramatic drain to its wealth. Like other empires before it, the US is now on the verge of relinquishing the crown of empire. If there’s any difference this time around, it’s that its collapse will very likely be far more spectacular than that of previous empires.” – Jeff Thomas

Assange Wins High Court Victory In Temporary Reprieve From Extradition To US – Tyler Durden

Guilty as Charged – “I think it is time that I copped to a few things that I am not necessarily proud of. First on my mind is the issue of privacy. I recall being at the bank recently attempting to turn four 50-dollar bills into two 100-dollar bills—a simple enough transaction at a bank. You would think that process would be a no-brainer. But no, not in today’s Gestapo environment. “Did you get these bills from another bank?” the teller asked. “What?” I responded, I honestly thought I misunderstood her. “Where did you get this money?” she reiterated. With my recently found chutzpah (since Covid), I retorted, “Why is that any business of yours? I backed off a bit, “I mean, why is that important to know?” I rephrased my question. She replied, “We need to know where this cash comes from, it’s a rule.” I said, “It comes from my pocket, I guess. It is money that I have at home I just keep as cash, don’t worry, I’ve paid my portion to King and Country.” Kindly, she let it go,” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

The Left’s Funny Definition of Fascism – “Hysterical warnings about Trumpussolini are all the rage again, only they are more hysterical than before as it dawns on the left that maybe renominating a corrupt, desiccated old pervert publicly sundowning his way to Senility City even as he wrecks the economy, betrays our allies, kills our soldiers, prosecutes political opponents, and invites the entire Third World to camp out on our collective lawn makes for a president whose popularity going into the election is comparable to that of colon polyps and lung cheese. Leading the way is The New Republic, with a typically subtle illustration of Trump glowering with a Hitler mustache because the parallels between the genocidal Bavarian house painter and the Playboy bunny-tapping Queens playboy are obvious to anyone with an agenda or a brain defect, or both. ” – Kurt Schlichter

Biden’s Handlers Impose Massive Destructive Tariffs – “When enacting tariffs, the loser in this scenario is American consumers who will now experience inflation ranging from 25% to 100%. The hardest hit will be everything electronic; cars, electric vehicles, appliances, cell phones, electricity, and Renewable Energy! Everything green will now be unaffordable. Simultaneously, the Intel chip making plant in Ohio has announced they are behind schedule and the plant may not be up and working until – 2030.” – Helema Glass

The Vietnamization of Ukraine – “As Ukraine’s defeat in the war moves closer, the neocons are desperate to draw the US further into the fight. Over the weekend, former US State Department official Victoria Nuland told ABC News that the US must help facilitate Ukrainian missile attacks deep inside Russian territory. The Biden Administration has to this point avoided involvement in such attacks, likely because Russian president Vladimir Putin has warned that Russia will strike any facility that supplies or facilitates strikes inside of Russia, wherever they may be. It’s a clear warning from a nuclear power, but as Nuland and her fellow neocons see their Ukraine project failing, they demand escalation.” – Ron Paul

Demonic Globalist Elite Starting World War III (VIDEO) with Steve Quayle – “Never in the history of the United States and Russia have we had multiple submarines, strategic missile submarines doing tests in international waters warning the US government, especially the FAA and the Pentagon, that they are going to be using dummy warheads. . . . Here is the striking thing about this. The United States, Western Europe and the NATO confederation have declared in the next 10 days they are going to be moving up to 90,000 men onto the border in Ukraine. We have declared that F-16’s (that can carry nuclear missiles) are going into Ukraine. . . . or around Ukraine. Russia has said that when they touch down, they will hit them on the ground. What is more astonishing is the time period for this test missile launch is also 10 days. It syncs up totally with NATO’s time frame to deploy troops and F-16’s. . . .Russia is the leading nuclear power in the world, and they have advanced technology, such as hypersonic missiles we, the United States, do not possess. . . . We are talking about somebody making the wrong decision, and at that point, it’s WWIII from then on. This is not a military exercise.”” – Greg Hunter  – STEVE CAN GET A LITTLE DRAMATIC AT TIMES, BUT HE IS USUALLY ON TOP OF THINGS.

‘Nobody cared’: Biden holds a re-election rally in Atlanta for sparse crowds – “By contrast, Trump packs them in. Biden’s crowds have always been small, of course, dating from the 2020 election. This time, though, they can’t blame COVID. What’s their excuse? They aren’t saying, but crowds like this suggest that Biden is even less popular than he was in 2016. And if this is what goes on in blue cities with reliable Democrat voter bases, what is going on in red ones?” – Monica Showalter  – WHICH SHOULD TELL ANYONE WITH A BRAIN THAT THERE IS NO WAY HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN THE NUMBER OF VOTES HE SUPPOSEDLY GOT LAST ELECTION!!!

What the hell is he talking about? ” – Steve Watson

Proof That Net Neutrality Was Never about ‘Saving the Internet’- “Net Neutrality has been sold to the public as a policy that will prevent Internet providers “from blocking certain websites or slowing down your data.” Once one realizes that Net Neutrality isn’t so much about creating a better Internet as much as a key step toward an Internet under government control, the push to revive the policy makes a whole lot more sense.” – Jon Miltimore

Maybe We’re Closer to “You’ll Own Nothing” Than We Realize – “Maybe we should rephrase the slogan to “you’ll appear to own things you don’t actually control and be happy.” The World Economic Forum’s catchphrase you’ll own nothing and be happy was widely mocked as an eyebrow-raising vision of a “sharing economy” future without the implicit agency granted by full ownership. Renting stuff that one needed only for one-time use has long been a market, and car-sharing makes sense for urban dwellers who only need a vehicle on occasion. But to own nothing still implies powerlessness and poverty, not happiness, which continues to be associated with owning income streams and nice things, i.e. wealth.” – Charles Hugh Smith

Mass propaganda disguised as medical expertise (remember when Joe Biden and his CDC army of Goebbels clones demanded that we wear three or more masks outside?) and mass censorship of social media conversations (because, we were frequently told, disinformation kills!) proved that — when push comes to shove — Western governments will quickly dispense with protections for free speech.

I forgot. Not only is democracy being destroyed in all of our previously democratic countries, but it is being destroyed in countries that never had democracy, or haven’t had it before recently acquiring it. All of us democratic countries also have to be the ones responsible for maintaining democracy everywhere else in the world—like the lack of democracy, or lost democracy, will somehow rub off on us, or it will spread to us like some sort of infectious disease.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Maybe better than we did – “There are those who say, “Oh heavens, we raised a bunch of entitled snowflakes.” I wouldn’t say that though. I would say they have been born for a world we have not yet made and it will be their life challenge to create it. They may be the generation that will not compromise. They will not be debt slaves. They will not act out repressed emotions. They will stop wars. They will value feelings and nurture nature. They will value music and art far beyond the idea of money. They will re-remember history and the lessons learned. They will put reason and logic where reason and logic belong. They will treasure compassion and hope and children. They will never tolerate deliberate divisiveness again and they will demand leaders of the highest integrity.” – Sylvia Shawcross

White Ethnicities Are Being Replaced The Western Tower of Babel Continues Its Collapse – “What is happening in the US is happening everywhere in the Western world. “- Paul Craig Roberts

Why Washington DC is the War Capital Of The World – “Ultimately, there is no mystery as to why the Forever Wars go on endlessly. Or why at a time when Uncle Sam is hemorrhaging red ink a large bipartisan majority saw fit to authorize $95 billion of foreign aid boondoggles that do absolutely nothing for America’s homeland security. To wit, Washington has morphed into a freak of world history—a planetary War Capital dominated by a panoptic complex of arms merchants, paladins of foreign intervention and adventure and Warfare State nomenklatura. Never before has there been assembled and concentrated under a single state authority a hegemonic force possessing such unprecedented levels of economic resources, advanced technology and military wherewithal.” – David Stockman

She even had the audacity to lead a Pledge of Allegiance in the building before a nonviolent casual strolling through it.” – Ben Bartee

‘Biden Crime Cabal’ Hunting, Torturing & Murdering Christians & Conservatives Expect America Won’t Fight Back – Already ‘Removed’ America’s ‘Front Line Of Defense’ From ‘Battlefield’ – “With a perfect example of that what happened on January 6th of 2021, when America’s ‘Front Line of Defense’ went to Washington DC to simply ‘protest against’ what was quite obviously a ‘stolen election,’ only for that entire group of men and women to have their Civil Rights stripped away from them by that ‘crime cabal’ who clearly had ‘carried out a coup’ upon America only months prior, then thrown into very real ‘Gulags’ in Washington DC with their Rights to a speedy trial denied to this day, 4 years without a trial for protesting against filth and scum!

Threatening China when they are the largest holder of US debt is braindead.

Gasoline prices are up 47%. The cost of shelter 20%, and electricity almost 30%. American workers cannot keep up. Since President Biden took office, average hourly earnings after inflation have fallen over 2.5%. A typical American family must pay $12,000 more per year simply to maintain the standard of living that it enjoyed when President Biden took office.” – J.

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

In the howlin’ wind
Comes a stingin’ rain
See it drivin’ nails
Into the souls on the tree of pain

From the firefly
A red orange glow
See the face of fear
Runnin’ scared in the valley below

Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue

In the locust wind
Comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel
And the angel was overcome

You plant a demon seed
You raise a flower of fire
We see them burnin’ crosses
See the flames, higher and higher

Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue

Suit and tie comes up to me
His face red like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colours of a royal flush
And he’s peelin’ off those dollar bills
(Slappin’ ’em down)
One hundred, two hundred

And I can see those fighter planes
And I can see those fighter planes
Across the mud huts as children sleep
Through the alleys of a quiet city street
And take the staircase to the first floor
Turn the key and slowly unlock the door
As a man breathes into his saxophone
And through the walls you hear the city groan
Outside, it’s America
Outside, it’s America
America

See across the field
See the sky ripped open
See the rain comin’ through the gapin’ wound
Pelting the women and children
Who run into the arms
Of America

( Bullet The Blue Sky by U2 )

    THE BIG PICTURE 

Proof – “The Biden Thing revealed the truth about both the pushing of battery powered vehicles and the putative reason for the pushing of them the other day – when he mumble-barked the other day that he would impose a “100 percent” tariff on battery powered devices made in China (as well as a heavy tariff on batteries for devices made in China). We are told – we are harangued – that there is a looming “climate crisis” of apocalyptic scope that is headed our way on account of a fractional, almost unmeasurable increase in the fraction of the Earth’s naturally-existing CO2 (about 0.04 percent) and that it is absolutely necessary to reduce the fraction of a fraction generated by the driving of cars with engines by getting rid of cars with engines. These must be urgently replaced by “zero emissions” (of C02) at the tailpipe battery powered. Because it’s a “crisis.” Well, if it is, then why would those pushing this narrative – and pushing battery powered vehicles by pushing those that aren’t out of production – not want to encourage the distribution of inexpensive battery powered vehicles that most people could afford and never mind whether they were made in China? If you are on a ship that is sinking, does it matter who made the lifeboats?” – Eric Peters – GREAT POINT FROM ERIC AS USUAL!!!!

Startup raises $26.5 million for vaccine to stop cow farts and burps – “ArkeaBio, a Boston developer of a vaccine to reduce livestock methane emissions, raised a $26.5 million in venture capital funding led by an investment fund founded by Bill Gates. Why it matters: Caring about cow farts (or burps) has become a political punchline, but they’re estimated to create more than 5% of global greenhouse gasses.” – Dan Primack and Ben Geman  – AND JUST HOW DID THEY COME UP WITH THIS 5% FIGURE. DID THEY STRAP METERS ON COW ASSES!!!!!!!!

Enough With These Dangerous Calculations – “What precise metric are we going to use to determine costs and benefits population-wide? Many millions were forced to take experimental injections that they did not want nor need. Many were injured and with no chance of compensation. This is gravely unjust. You don’t need to take recourse to fancy philosophical conjectures (The Trolley Problem, The Lifeboat Dilemma, The Fat Man on the Bridge, etc.) to do the utilitarian calculation. And yet, such calculations are precisely what the defenders of society-wide pandemic interventions are citing as evidence that we can and should do it again. The costs are high, they now admit, but worth the benefit. We forged our societies to have laws and guaranteed liberties that can never be taken away, not even during a pandemic. It is never worth using the power of the state to ruin lives to fulfill anyone’s abstract vision of what constitutes the greater good.” – Jeffrey A. Tucker

Understanding Smart Cities, 15-Minute Cities, and How We Win – “What exactly is a “Smart City” and how does it relate to a “15-minute city”? And what does any of this have to do with individual liberty and freedom of movement?” – Derrick Broze  – GOOD PRIMER FOR THOSE THAT DON’T KNOW ABOUT THIS YET!!!

Ex-NIH Director Confirms ‘No Science’ Behind 6-Foot Distancing Rules – “Which is of course why schools remained closed, ruining actual childhoods… Newly released testimony from former NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins confirms that Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx did not base the pandemic-era six-foot social distancing rule on science, and instead were making things up as they went along.” – Tyler Durden – EXCUSE ME, BUT I BELIEVE MR. COLLINS HIMSELF WAS JUST AS MUCH A PART OF THE PROCESS AS WELL!!

Compulsory smart meters crucial to fight ‘real and growing risk’ of drought, experts warn – Paul Homewood

The Carbon Capture Con – “Carbon-capture-and-underground-storage “(CCUS)” tops the list of silly schemes “to reduce man-made global warming.” The idea is to capture exhaust gases from power stations or cement plants, separate the CO2 from the other gases, compress it, pump it to the chosen burial site and force it underground into permeable rock formations. Then hope it never escapes. Engineers with buckets of easy money may base a whole career on Carbon Capture and Underground Storage. But only stupid green zealots would support the sacrifice of billions of investment dollars and scads of energy to bury this harmless, invisible, life-supporting gas in the hope of appeasing the high priests of global warming.” – Viv Forbes

Is the Pope Catholic? A joke question becomes a serious one *UPDATED* – “Pope Francis represents the Catholic Church, its doctrine, and its storied almost two-thousand-year history. However, Pope Francis has consistently derided Catholic teachings on climate change and sexuality. In both cases, he speaks like a social Marxist, not the head of the Catholic Church. The Church’s strength, always, has been two-fold: Its fealty to its core religious doctrines and the glacial slowness with which it changes. Its teachings are meant to be primary and eternal, rather than to move with the fads of the moment. Changing those teachings is an enormously consequential act because each change raises doubts about the church’s prior infallibility. You’re not a spiritual or cultural bulwark if you change policies according to the polls and the whims of the crowd.” – Andrea Widburg

Russia & China — Two Against One – “Xi Jinping’s reception of Putin yesterday in Beijing sealed the increasingly formidable strategic relationship, fundamentally misunderstood in Washington. If NATO country hotheads send “trainers” to Ukraine, the prospect of a military dust-up is ever present. What Biden needs to know is that, if it comes to open hostilities between Russia and the West, he is likely to face more than just saber rattling in the South China Sea — and the specter of a two-front war. The Chinese know they are next in line for the ministrations of NATO/East. Indeed, it is no secret that the Pentagon sees China as enemy No. 1. ” – Ray McGovern

Closer to Nuclear War – “I can’t help but wonder what proponents of America’s participation in the old Cold War dinosaur known as NATO are thinking about NATO officials who are contemplating sending NATO military personnel into Ukraine to train Ukrainian troops in their war against Russia. Those who relish the idea of nuclear war between the United States and Russia undoubtedly must be ecstatic over the possibility of such a move. It has been clear for some time that Ukraine is losing its war with Russia.” – Jacob G. Hornberger

Biden Depression Syndrome: It’s the Economy, Stupid – “Bidenomics is taking a dangerous mental toll on America.

An Urgent Matter – “While our country sleepwalks through the deadly aftermath of the evil Covid-19 operation, the World Health Organization (WHO) puts the final touches on a nice bit of fuckery called its Pandemic Treaty on International Health Regulations (IHR) or “One Health” initiative, a Globalist power grab disguised in the saintly white robes of public health medicine. The agreement, to be finalized at the end of this month, will cede what’s left of your liberty to this unelected bureaucracy for the sake of global “equity and inclusivity,” meaning more lockdowns, constant surveillance, forced “vaccinations,” restrictions on medications, and censorship of anyone who voices a contrary opinion of these actions. Sound familiar? Yeah, it’s Covid-19 all over again, a second crack at controlling everything you do and every choice you might make by a cabal of governments and corporations, in other words, an international gang of fascists.” – James Howard Kunstler  – GOOD READ FROM MR. KUNSTLER!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, I will not eat the bug – “I grew up camping, hiking, hunting, and fishing. I was an outdoors kid, to say the least. Even when I wasn’t able to be in the woods, I’d find ways to feel like I was. That was what freedom felt like. One thing I never liked was bugs. I understand the role they play in the ecosystem, but I’d rather they do it away from me. So you can imagine that when our self-appointed betters talk about us eating them, I’m not particularly on board. But that doesn’t mean those elites aren’t working overtime to push them anyway. What’s at stake is our ability to choose.” – Tom Knighton

The Pathetic Want of Rule, Authority, and Collectivism, Has Led to the Tortured Enslavement of Man – “Every aspect of government, every moronic vote for any master, every atrocity, every war, every form of censorship, every genocide, every economic disaster, and every form of totalitarianism, is fully dependent on the lack of self-ownership by any and all in the collective herd of those who voluntarily allow themselves to be enslaved by any ruling State. Any acceptance of rule, any rule, is the antithesis of freedom. The very idea of rule runs counter to any sanity, and no one who accepts rule without active and forceful dissent, deserves his lot in life as a slave.” – Gary D. Barnett

This Inflation Script Won’t Last – “As the U.S. economy slows into summer, and inflation remains elevated, there’s an increasing likelihood we could find ourselves in a period of stagflation. Where the economy is characterized by both rising unemployment and rising consumer price inflation. With stocks at extreme valuations, a slowing economy and associated credit crisis could be the pin that finally pricks the bubble. Perhaps stocks decline 20 to 30 percent to close out the year. Maybe more. Regardless, the actual loss will be masked by inflation. Still, the central planners pretend they don’t see it…” – MN Gordon

The West Has an Illiterate Financial Press – “The entire the financial press has zero understanding of basic economics. The financial “journalists” just print press releases. The US debt has never mattered, because the US dollar is the world reserve currency. That means US debt is the reserves of the world’s central banks. If US debt rises, so does the reserves of the world banking system. The problem arrives when the dollar is deserted as world reserve currency. The morons who comprise the Biden regime are scaring central banks away from the dollar as their reserves because of sanctions against Russia, Iran, China, Venezuela, and others.” – Paul Craig Roberts

For Biden’s re-election, WHO’s on first – “There is a World Health Organization meeting at the end of this month in Geneva. As a result of that meeting, Joe Biden is expected to relinquish U.S. pandemic sovereignty to the WHO and its director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, through executive order, thereby bypassing the two-thirds vote in the Senate needed for treaties. This brings us to Joe Biden’s re-election campaign. Let’s say that in return for Biden’s consent to the WHO agreement, at some time in the next several months the WHO announces there is a new pandemic ” – W.A. Eliot – NEW PANDEMIC, NEW LOCKDOWNS, ONLY VOTES BY MAIL POSSIBLE, BIDEN WINS. HOW CONVENIENT. IF BIDEN BY-PASSES CONGRESS ON THIS THROUGH EXECUTIVE ORDER THEN HE SHOULD BE TRIED FOR TREASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Al Gore Said the Ice Caps would be Gone by 2014 – Yes 2014! – “The Press REFUSES to hold all of these failed Climate Change forecasts to test. All they do is keep moving the date for our doom, all due to CO2.” – Martin Armstrong

Menace on the Menu: The Financialisation of Farmland and the War on Food and Farming – Between 2008 and 2022, land prices nearly doubled throughout the world and tripled in Central-Eastern Europe. In the UK, an influx of investment from pension funds and private wealth contributed to a doubling of farmland prices from 2010-2015. Land prices in the US agricultural heartlands of Iowa quadrupled between 2002 and 2020. Top-down ‘green grabs’ now account for 20% of large-scale land deals. Government pledges for land-based carbon removals alone add up to almost 1.2 billion hectares, equivalent to total global cropland. Carbon offset markets are expected to quadruple in the next seven years..” – Colin Todhunter

Bill Gates Pushes Vaccinations in Food Supply to ‘Fight Climate Change’ – “The Microsoft co-founder has been quietly funneling vast sums of cash into a firm seeking to vaccinate all cows in cattle herds around the world that are destined for the food supply.” – Frank Bergman

DEATHVAX™ BLOWBACK: Pastors, Nurses & Other “Vaccine” Pushers Receiving DEATH THREATS – “For all but the most brainwashed, it is becoming painfully clear that there is a global bioterror eugenics program underway, and so the death threats have commenced: Every single entity, org, agency, “nonprofit,” Mockingbird MSM outlet, and any and every single individual that pushed these deadly Modified mRNA “vaccines” must be held accountable: no one gets off for this transhumanist globopedo bioterrorism depopulation scheme,” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World   – HELD ACCOUNTABLE, HOWEVER , SHOULDN’T MEAN DEATH THREATS!!!

Debunking the Cheap Renewables Myth – “In the U.K., renewables are subsidised by three different schemes. Feed-in-Tariffs (FiTs) fund mostly solar power. Contracts for Difference (CfDs) fund a range of technologies, but most of the subsidy goes to offshore wind. By far the biggest subsidy scheme is Renewables Obligations Certificates, costing over £7bn per year. This scheme awards certificates for each MWh generated, a different number depending upon technology.” – David Turner

Wrong, Mainstream Media, Tree Rings Aren’t Reliable Indicators of Past Temperatures – “Dozens of media outlets such as ABC News, The BBC, The New York Times, and many more, hyped a study that claims summer temperatures in 2023 were unprecedented over the past 2000 years. This claim, in fact, can’t be verified by tree ring data, which isn’t that precise. Researchers are falsely assuming tree rings are reliable temperature indicators when in fact tree rings can indicate a multitude of different conditions, not just temperature.” – Anthony Watts

Biden To Ruin Thousands Of Miles Of Land For Green Energy Scheme – “The Biden administration has announced plans to despoil thousands of miles of land throughout the United States with new corridors for wind and solar transmission lines. In addition to stretching across thousands of miles of land in length, the Department of Energy reports the transmission-line projects may be up to 100 miles wide. The transmission lines, which are necessary to deliver wind and solar power from rural wind and solar projects to distant population centers, will destroy an enormous amount of open spaces and wildlife habitats. The Energy Department is tapping into $4.5 billion to make the project happen.” – James Taylor

Free Speech For Me But Not For Thee – “Can an idea be dangerous? Can a dangerous idea be expressed? Can the government punish ideas it deems to be dangerous? These are not questions one regularly asks in America because of our rich tradition of protecting the freedom of speech from infringement by the government. Yet, we appear to be on the cusp of the mass suppression of public speech. Nothing would be more unnatural and un-American than the prohibition of the expressions of ideas.” – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

Whistling Past the National Train Wreck – “Pointlessly rearranging the deck chairs. There are only so many ways one can say that America is collapsing. That the Fat Lady is nearing the end of her song. That we’re running on fumes. Having watched enough of those Investigation Discovery shows, and cops gone wild videos, I often wonder just how many actual criminals are in prison. The system devotes so much effort to framing innocent people, that they may no longer be capable of convicting truly guilty ones. I could have titled this Substack Whistling Past the American Graveyard. Maybe I should have. But America 2.0 isn’t literally dead yet. On life support? Yes. With an almost certain terminal prognosis? Yes. I used the train wreck analogy because everywhere we look, things are wrecked.” – Donald Jeffries

Greener Pastures – “Many people from Western countries notice something intangibly alluring when they excurse to the ‘third world’. Something they can’t quite put their finger on, a quality of life that isn’t “better” on the surface—in the classical sense—but increasingly tugs at the hem, like an unruly child who may seem annoying at first, but quickly turns quaintly adorable. What is this indescribable magnetism which seems to draw people to countries stitched ostensibly of chaos and disorder?” – Simplicius  –  A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT READ FROM SIMPLICIUS THAN NORMAL.

Joe Biden Invokes Executive Privilege Over Special Counsel Recordings – “After the DOJ stonewalled over surrendering an audio recording of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with President Joe Biden over his handling of classified documents, the White House has invoked executive privilege to block House Republicans from obtaining it.” – Tyler Durden

A Former Ukrainian MP Blew The Whistle On Burisma’s Connections To Terrorism – “Former Ukrainian MP Andrey Derkach, who’s reviled by the Biden Administration for sharing dirt about Hunter Biden’s Burisma corruption scandal with Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani ahead of the 2020 elections, just gave a very important interview to Belarus’ BelTA where be blew the whistle even louder.” – Andrew Korybko

Two Sham Debates Between Biden and Trump – “Prediction: Shitshow. The moderators can’t be worse: Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, both corporate tools. Apparently the real debate has been over how to cut Trump’s microphone if and when he abuses the rules. Naturally, third-party candidates aren’t invited, obviously for the “benefit” of the voters. Who knows: Maybe this is a good thing for RFK Jr., Marianne Williamson, and similar candidates. Would you want to lower yourself to participate in this sham, this mockery of a debate, this shitshow?” – Bill Astore

Nancy Pelosi’s Corpse Rolled Out at Oxford Union to Denounce Populism – “Nancy Pelosi’s cryptkeepers down in the cryogenic bunker where she is kept on ice got the call. They dolled its face up and dutifully summoned a witch doctor/Dr. Feelgood or whatever satanic pharmaceutical rite they have to perform to get its eyes open and its gums flapping. All of this was in the service of presenting the Pelosi entity to the prestigious Oxford Union — that “People’s House,” as it’s known, where cockney accents abound, widely regarded as a bastion of populism — to decry populism as a “threat to democracy.”” – Ben Bartee

Leader of Slovakia Shot After Demanding Investigation Into COVID Vaccines – “Slovakia, a nice country in the heart of Europe, is unique in one important respect: it is the only country, out of the whole world, whose leader denounced COVID vaccines and announced a COVID inquiry into excess deaths, corrupt influence of Pfizer, and ill effects of COVID vaccines. Many of us were wondering what would the outcome of this investigation be. Will excess deaths be finally correctly attributed? Will the cozy relationships between Pfizer and the media it sponsored be disclosed? What answers can we finally get, when a government is led by an honest man wanting to get to the bottom of the “pandemic response”? Today, we have the answer.” – Igor Chudov

ECONOMIC NEWS

The Economist – The Western ZION BANKING System Has Failed – “The Federal government can print money any time it wants – which is how we have a $35-$40 Trillion deficit for WAR funding. An interesting question arises… if the government can print whatever money it likes, why do citizens pay taxes? The only reason would then be that the government’s power is infinite and taxing citizen’s has the sole purpose of defunding Taxpayers. Like a Sanction. How does the government issue more money – via debt notes. Assuming there is a market. Japan is the largest holder of American debt today. What are T-Bills backed by? Nothing. And any country that buys said T-Bills is a fool. How will the Federal Government pay its bills? It has no intention of such a task. Hence the consistent ‘cooking of the books’. ” – Helena Glass  – GOOD ONE FROM HELENA!!!

How Powell Destroyed His Inflation War and Eats the Poor. – “So, while the Fed is having a hard time figuring out what everyone is complaining about, given that the caviar economy is still booming, it’s not hard to figure at all, really. The roaring twenties are pumping money into the barons who have enough expendable cash to keep pumping money into stocks, and that leaves out the larger portion of the population.” – David Haggith

Precarious: One Misfortune Away from Insolvency – “As a result, a significant percentage of households that are considered middle-class are one misfortune away from insolvency. We can summarize the changes in our economy over the past two generations with one word: precarity, as life for the bottom 90% of American households has become far more precarious over the past 40 years, despite the rising GDP and “wealth” as measured in phantom capital.” – Charles Hugh Smith

Is The Fed Manipulating the Market? – “We cannot just look at the Fed’s target rate to determine whether it is manipulating the market. We must consider its target rate relative to the natural rate. The Fed’s track record leaves much to be desired. The solution, however, is not for the Fed to “do nothing,” as that is impossible in a fiat system: even inaction can be manipulation. Instead, the solution lies in institution reforms that promote monetary stability by ensuring the real rate tracks the natural rate as closely as possible.’ – Bryan Cutsinger

Top 13 First Aid Skills Every Prepper And Survivalist Should Learn – Part I – “In an ideal scenario, the need for first aid skills would be minimal. However, reality often proves otherwise. Accidents happen, emergencies arise, and being equipped with the knowledge of basic medical care becomes paramount. When traditional avenues of healthcare falter, the ability to provide immediate assistance can mean the difference between life and death. Thus, fostering proficiency in various first aid techniques becomes not just advantageous but indispensable in navigating the uncertainties of a collapsing medical infrastructure.” – Bob Rodgers

If I were a parent I wouldn’t vaccinate my child… – “I recently took a look at the CDC childhood vaccine schedule. I found the tables confusing. But I did note the two lists of vaccines they want kids to take between birth and 15 months, and then between 18 months and 18 years old. This isn’t the number of injections; it’s the number of vaccines. Between birth and 15 months: 20 vaccines. Between 18 months and 18 years old: 20 vaccines. 40 vaccines.

A Nanny State Idiocracy: A Tale of Too Many Laws and Too Little Freedom – “We are caught in a vicious cycle of too many laws, too many cops, and too little freedom. It’s hard to say whether we’re dealing with a kleptocracy (a government ruled by thieves), a kakistocracy (a government run by unprincipled career politicians, corporations and thieves that panders to the worst vices in our nature and has little regard for the rights of American citizens), or a Nanny State Idiocracy. Whatever the label, this overbearing despotism is what happens when government representatives (those elected and appointed to work for us) adopt the authoritarian notion that the government knows best and therefore must control, regulate and dictate almost everything about the citizenry’s public, private and professional lives.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Russia Is About To Overrun Ukraine’s Defenses – Why Are There No Peace Negotiations? – “There are two classic propaganda narratives used by governments when it comes to keeping the public invested in any war campaign that does nothing to advance their national interests: First, there’s the “commitment” lie, which says that once you step in to support a war effort you then must stay exponentially committed, even if that war effort is exposed as pointless. Second, there’s the “domino effect” lie, which says that if you allow a particular “enemy” to win in one conflict, they will automatically be emboldened to invade other countries until they own the entire planet. It’s the same claim used to trick the American populace into supporting the war in Vietnam and it rarely turns out to be true. In fact, nations that engage in regional wars tend to be so weakened by the fighting that they don’t have the means to move on to another country even if they wanted to.” – Brandon Smith

Unrepentant Man – “If someone errs in a way that causes immense damage and does not admit he erred – much less apologize for the harms his erring caused – what basis is there for believing he understands he erred, regrets it – and would not commit the same error again? That’s putting it nicely, of course. The most egregious error that Trump has yet to admit he made – much less apologize for having made – and by dint of his error, caused immense harm to millions of people – was the pushing of mRNA drugs people were maliciously and deliberately lied to by the people pushing them. Including Trump, who continues to this day to pretend the “beautiful” drugs pushed on all those millions were “safe and effective.” Even after it became clear they were neither. Even to this very day. So – what reason is there to believe Trump would not push drugs again, if he is re-elected? If there is another “case” of weaponized hypochondria?” – Eric Peters

The Pope, The Vatican, & The ‘Creation’ of History – 11th Century – “How DO we know how much is real and how much is the Matrix? History has been rewritten or modified on a continuum loop. How much of the present is also rewired? Over two years ago we were told Pope Francis (Bergoglio) wouldn’t live beyond Christmas. Yet he continues to reign over the Vatican having been instructed to ‘stack the deck’ as it were with ideological clones. Bergoglio was chosen as the successor of Pope Benedict when Benedict suddenly resigned in 2013 claiming declining health. But he lived 9 more years. Benedict was the first Pope to resign since 1415. Yet this anomaly was overlooked and considered his choice. Benedict died in 2022 “after declining health for several days”. So why did Pope Benedict really resign? It is parlayed that Soros, Clinton and Obama conspired to insert Pope Francis whose time in Argentina was mired in his collaboration with the 2001 riots wherein he was asserted to have sacrificed 2 Jesuit Priests to the guerillas in order to save himself. They were tortured. Thus Bergoglio became the perfect candidate for The Cartel. Regaining the Vatican. Benedict was forced out and Francis moved in to initiate the decline of The Church and Catholicism. The purpose? Religion and faith interfere with Control.” – Helena Glass

How a neoconservative thinks: the Victoria Nuland example – “One of the leading (if not the top) neoconservatives is Victoria Nuland, whom U.S. President Obama selected to plan and run the U.S. coup that in February 2014 started the war in Ukraine by overthrowing the internationally neutralist and democratically elected President of Ukraine and installing into power Yatsenyuk, who immediately appointed a rabidly pro-U.S.-Government and anti-Russian junta,” – Eric Zuesse  – GOOD INSIGHTS FROM ERIC!!!

KJP Says Violent Crime Is Historically Low Thanks to Biden. Let’s Look at the Data. – “White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed that violent crime is historically low nationwide thanks to the Biden administration supposedly making the U.S. safer. “The truth is that violent crime is substantially elevated in major cities […] compared to pre-2020 levels,” the researchers wrote. There’s “a series of caveats attached to the FBI data that the FBI doesn’t make as clear as they should, Several police departments have redefined how crimes are categorized and transitioned away from a decades-old recording system, Kennedy told Fox News. “If you classify something as an aggravated assault, it’s a violent crime or a felony, but if you classify it as a simple assault, it’s then a misdemeanor and a non-violent crime,” he explained. ” – Mia Cathell

Another ‘historic first’ from Kamala Harris: Spewing the ‘f bomb’ at rallies – “In her quest to appear ‘authentic’ to voters, Kamala Harris has come up with her best solution: Spewing the ‘f bomb’ at campaign events. Naturally, it was followed by her trademark hyena laugh and all were in for a good time. But to the rest of us, it represents quite a slide downward in matters of civility.” – Monica Showalter

He knew at the Camp David Summit of 2000 that if he signed the deal offered to him – 92 percent of Gaza and 100 percent of West Bank – of a new Palestinian state, that in a matter of only hours the Israelis would have cheated him and invaded, given that the most controversial point of the deal was that they would both have to be demilitarized.

RED ALERT: WHO Pandemic “Treaty” is now an “Agreement” – “This makes all the difference in the world! We’ve been fooled. I’ll give you the bottom line. A TREATY needs the signature of the US President plus a 2/3 vote of approval in the Senate. An AGREEMENT only needs the President’s signature, and America is committed to go along with the document. I’ve been communicating with a media person at the World Health Organization (WHO). It took several exchanges to clarify what’s going on here. What we’ve been told is the WHO Pandemic Treaty is actually labeled an Agreement. This is dire. When Biden signs it, American sovereignty is suddenly placed under the WHO.” – Jon Rappoport

Monster Mash-up – “Did you notice that it took just a little bit of internal chaos to alert the Party of Chaos that maybe chaos wasn’t the greatest thing to be the party of? And so, over the weekend every big dog in the Democratic Party’s doghouse came out barking against the current direction of the Democratic Party — that is, over an electoral cliff, lemming-style. James Carville had a veritable nervous breakdown on X: “It’s going the wrong way, it’s not working. Everything we’re throwing is spaghetti at a wall, and none of it is sticking, me included.” Fareed Zakaria over on CNN confessed that “None of this is playing out the way I thought it would.” Gee, really? None of them could bring themselves to actually name the doddering donkey in the room, “Joe Biden.” Nor did they dare call out the stage manager behind the old Joe-from-Scranton show, Barack Obama, not exactly coasting into his fourth term, as expected.

The Great Panic – “Ever since the Hamas attacks on October 7th, 2023, the American empire has been convulsed by increasingly deranged tremors. The Israelis adopted a policy that on the surface makes little sense. All it has done is poison relations with the Arabs and much of the world. In America, both political parties have gone nuts in response to the attacks, Israel’s response, and the reaction to that response. Peak madness may be Lindsey Graham suggesting Israel uses nukes on Gaza. Graham, of course, is trying to show he is the most Zionist of Zionists in a party that makes Likud look dovish. Elected Republicans are obsessed with Israel to the point where even pro-Israel supporters are suffering from severe cringe. One reason for this, of course, is the power of AIPAC.” – The Z Man

So wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were rebranded as “overseas contingency operations.” Talk about the banality of evil! Showing that he too could learn from America’s folly, Vladimir Putin termed his invasion of Ukraine a “special military operation.” U.S. leaders laughed at this, criticizing Putin for his propagandistic euphemism, even as they persisted in using terms like “overseas contingency operation” for America’s “kinetic” military actions.

There are plenty of angles from which to cover this, but let’s take a few of the most important.” – Simplicius

Shoigu’s Promotion Makes Perfect Sense If Seen From Putin’s Perspective – “Shoigu is neither the military hero nor the incompetent villain that some have made him out to be, but simply a loyal technocrat whom President Putin trusts in spite of the special operation’s twists and turns, which he doesn’t personally blame him for.” – Andrew Korybko

In the real world, in terms of class status it doesn’t matter whether the household income is $30,000 or $130,000; what matters is 1) ownership of assets that have bubbled higher in the Everything Bubble which then provide a buffer of wealth that can be tapped when misfortune strikes, and 2) a cost of living that is consistently and significantly lower than net income, enabling regular savings.” – Charles Hugh Smith

Not long ago, we would have called my condition good old-fashioned patriotism — a healthy affliction that tugs at the heart and soul like any other meaningful kind of love.

Most Americans, on the other hand, don’t get it.
