Global Britain and King Charles’ Great Reset – “From managing a global empire of economic enslavement and having invaded nearly every nation on Earth at one time or another, Britain continues to exert vast control over the mining concessions of Africa with over $1 trillion of direct mining interests controlled by British and/or British Commonwealth-based corporations. From the standpoint of global intelligence operations, Britain is the creator and central command structure of the Five Eyes intelligence apparatus and has also been dubbed “Londonistan” for having provided safe havens for international terrorist groups” – Matthew Ehret

‘Horrible Idea’: First Vaccine for Birth Control Now in Clinical Trials – Rather than disrupt the menstrual cycle, as hormonal forms of birth control do, the vaccine uses the immune system to prevent pregnancy by blocking fertilization.” – Brenda Baletti, Ph.D.

Viewers Noticed Something Strange About John Kerry at King Charles’ Coronation – “Amid the fanfare of King Charles’ coronation over the weekend, it was easy to miss President Biden’s climate czar John Kerry — who flew to the U.K. without regard for the emissions his travel necessitated — sitting in attendance at the official ceremony. There were some, however, who did pick Kerry out in the crowd and noted something interesting about his appearance. Dressed in a suit, the former Secretary of State was weighed down with service medals from the United States military…the medals he previously was publicly proud to discard as a show of his allegedly strongly held convictions.” – Spencer Brown  – DOES ANYONE ELSE GET TIRED OF THIS SANCTIMONIOUS BULLSHIT. KERRY LIES ABOUT HIS MEDALS, THEN FLIES ONCE AGAIN SPEWING CARBON, TO BE THERE TO TRY AND IMPRESS KING JUG EARS, ANOTHER CLIMATE ZEALOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Walensky’s Dishonorable Acts – “There’s a nearly endless number of possibilities to make Walensky’s list of shame. But here’s a few favorites.” – Ian Miller

‘The Big Catch-up’: Chelsea Clinton Partners With WHO, Gates Foundation on ‘Largest Childhood Immunization Effort Ever’ – ““The Big Catch-up” initiative, described by the World Health Organization as a “targeted global effort to boost vaccination among children following declines driven by the COVID-19 pandemic,” will last 18 months. “The Big Catch-up” also aims to promote other vaccines that are not part of childhood immunization schedules.” – Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.

Texas Targets Big Pharma Over COVID Vaccines – “Did the government subsidize a defective product? Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will launch an investigation into Big Pharma, determining if pharmaceutical giants – Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, and Pfizer – misrepresented their COVID vaccines to the government and the consuming public. Paxton also will determine if these corporations participated in gain-of-function research – an experiment to bolster the transmissibility and virulence of pathogens – and misled the people. Paxton’s efforts, if successful, could turn out to have significant consequences for COVID vaccine manufacturers, especially since they had been granted legal immunity.” – Andrew Moran

The Next Big Thing – “Now that the charm has worn off the transsexual craze — the idea that a person’s emotional distress can be cured by identifying as the opposite sex — we await the next ploy out of the Woke Transhumanist game-plan to destabilize the human project on earth. People-of-color, brown, indigenous, Pacific Islander, gay, lesbian, plus-size, differently-abled, all women (of course), have taken their turn in the batting order of intersectional oppressed minority groups, and each has walked off with a participation trophy. Who’s left now? The dead! Numerically, through human history, they are by far the largest demographic. Yet, they are routinely ignored, overlooked, disrespected. Obviously, more and more Americans have come to identify as the walking dead. (And, judging by the behavior in our land, a lot of people’s brains have been eaten.) Even our businesses and banks have a walking dead kind of look to them. Perhaps in anticipation of this, America elected (so they say) a president in mid-transition to being dead.” – James Howard Kunstler

Official Madness – “Fast forward to the present and the media is insane. Right now, they are claiming a Mexican immigrant, who shot up a Texas mall, is a white supremacist. Here is the Washington Post version of this whopper. Here is Rolling Stone. Here is the Daily Bleat hyperventilating over it. Of course, the volunteer army of regime toadies is uncritically posting this on social media. The thing missing from all of these stories is a picture of the shooter, Mauricio Garcia. Of course, by the time they get around to showing a picture of the shooter, someone will have doctored the photo to make him look like a German. The previous Texas spree killer, also a migrant from Mexico, was whitewashed so he could look the part, but the real photo was soon on the internet” – The ZMan  – MAYBE THE NEWS MEDIA SHOULD COME UP WITH A NEW TERM LIKE “HISPANIC SUPREMACIST”… NAH, THAT WOULD BE RACIST. BETTER JUST STICK TO PUTTING DOWN THE EVIL “WHITE” PERSON. DOESN’T MATTER IF THAT’S RACIST!!!!!!

Federal Government Burns the Whole House Down – “An evil Deep State that abuses the law to lock up its critics promises Americans no prospect of future reconciliation. The Department of (in)Justice secured more J6 wrongthink convictions last week — this time netting four Americans for “seditious conspiracy” because they were not members of Black Lives Matter or Antifa. Regime thugs Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, and Lisa Monaco (the titular heads of America’s Gestapo forces) actually took a victory lap and stood solemnly together while warning Americans that this is what happens to those who dissent from the federal government’s enforced truth. (If you squinted, you could almost see the Imperial Eagle flags draped behind them.)” – J.B. Shurk

The Impending Thermidor Reaction in Jacobin America – “At peak woke, our reign of terror is beginning to lose momentum because its continuation would destroy all the work of 247 years of American progress and sacrifice.” – Victor Davis Hanson

We Must Defend Self-Defense – “There’s a war going on against our sacred right to self-defense, and we need to defend that right, ruthlessly and vigorously against the communists who want us living in fear. And they do want us living in fear – sheep are easier to shear than sheepdogs. If you look what happened in New York City, where some mutant bum decided to threaten a bunch of people on a subway car, and then some heroes subdued him, and then he vapor-locked, and then the usual cast of liars and race-pimps screeched, you can see what they are doing – not merely trying to disarm us but trying to make us fear to defend ourselves at all. They want you terrified and impotent in the face of their unofficial militia, the criminals.” – Kurt Schlichter

As GOP Promises More Words, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn Demands Action Against the Biden Crime Family – “A harshly worded statement isn’t going to cut it. Since before the 2022 midterm elections, we’ve continuously heard about all the things Republican lawmakers would do if given the power. But since Kevin McCarthy took over as Speaker of the House, we’ve heard a whole lot of talking while not seeing much action. The latest offering doesn’t seem to be any different, though I’ll reserve judgment until later this week. Congressman James Comer made some headline-grabbing statements on Sunday, saying that the Justice Department shouldn’t arrest Hunter Biden before Wednesday because of the bombshells the House Oversight Committee would be dropping then.” – JD Rucker

Fox News Shapes Allied Media Narrative that Tucker Carlson Is Going to Hurt Their Brand – ““Foxweiser’d” – it’s a verb to describe taking a majority approved brand and aligning yourself with minority interests to destroy it. Also called stepping on a rake. With Fox News reported to have lost half their audience, the trio of MSNBC, CNN and Fox Corp are now neck, neck and neck, in a three-way race to the bottom. Stop Pretending – Anyone who is still appearing on Fox News to support the network, specifically including anyone who would appear on Sean Hannity show – a man entirely compromised by his zipper problems and therefore useful to the interests of the opposition, is at this point aligning themselves against ‘We The People’.” – Sundance

Ex CIA Chief Brennan Was Told ‘Russian Disinfo’ Letter He Signed Would Serve as ‘Talking Point’ for Biden-Trump Debate – “Trying to give the campaign , particularly during the debate on Thursday, a talking point to push back on Trump on this issue,” Michael Morrell wrote to his old CIA boss.This is clear and irrefutable evidence that Brennan, like Morrell, was signing a letter designed to tip the election toward Joe Biden, and that former CIA chiefs were using the authority and prestige of the intelligence agency for political purposes.” – Jon Miltimore

NATO ‘s Great New Idea: ‘Let’s Start A War With China!’ – Ron Paul

The Kremlin Did Not Kill Itself – “Your rulers do not care what race you are. They do not care if you are gay, transgendered or nonbinary. They do not care how many bullets you are allowed to have in your gun. They do not care whether you are allowed to have an abortion or not. They do not care if you are racist, sexist, ableist, ageist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic or fatphobic. They do not care about diverse representation in politics or media, and they do not care about any lack thereof. All they care about is that we all keep thinking, speaking, working, consuming and voting in ways which keep them rich and powerful and keep us poor and powerless. False flags are a thing and they do happen, but to act like that’s the most likely explanation for the Kremlin bombing when Russia is currently at war with a neighbor who has the means, motive and opportunity is something only a propagandist would do.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Weird Things About King Charles’ Coronation – “As Symbols are Twisted, Is Britain Being De-Consecrated? As I watched King Charles III’s coronation, I had a creeping sense — as perhaps many did — of what Dr Sigmund Freud called, in a paper by that name, “Das Unheimliche” — or the “uncanny”. That is the sense of unease one has when something strange is located in the familiar; when there are subliminally disturbing inversions, doublings, or reversals; and when unease is stirred by one’s subconscious becoming aware of ordinary reality going awry. First there were the odd discordancies. But leaving those aberrations aside — why were a number of key female attendees, in shapeless, Druid-like, white gowns? This is entirely aberrant. If you look at images of Druidic gatherings, you will see women (and men) in long, loose white robes; you will see capes. You will see wreaths, like the kind that Princess Kate, Princess Sophia and Princess Charlotte wore, though in fresh leaves and flowers rather than in gemstones and feathers. Druidic Britain is a pre-Christian Britain, in which nature – groves, springs, rocks, trees — is worshipped, rather than Jesus Christ, or the Judeo-Christian God. ” – Dr Naomi Wolf  – LONG AND INTERESTING READ FROM NAOMI!!!!

The Black Nobility, a New World Order and Charles “The Great Reset” King – “Few are aware of just how dark the history of the British royal family is, or just how twisted Charles “The Great Reset” King’s vision for the future of the United Kingdom – and, indeed the world – really is.” – Rhoda Wilson  – RHODA HAS AN IMBEDDED VIDEO BY JAMES CORBETT THAT WAS LINKED HERE ON FRIDAY AS WELL!!!!

But instead of progressive lawmakers addressing these problems and making life better for the tens of millions of Americans who currently live in the state, they are focused on reparations. ” – Tyler Durden

How The Native Americans Used To Hide In Plain Sight – “From food preservation and water-forging methods – like irrigation and canal building – to constructing hidden shelters and camouflage techniques, Native American tribes of the past and present have seemingly mastered the art of survival. If they needed to go undetected or “blend in” to survive, they had generations of survival knowledge to pull from.

An Open Letter to Ella Irwin, Head of Twitter’s Trust and Safety (and Censorship) Department – “Twitter, Inc. has been censoring my political commentary and maliciously defaming me (i.e., damaging my reputation and income as an author) for approximately two years. Twitter has been doing this by concealing the Tweets of my “Consent Factory” account with fake “age-restricted adult content” labels, deceiving Twitter users into believing I have been tweeting content depicting “adult nudity and sexual behavior,” or “excessively gory content, sexual violence and/or assault, bestiality or necrophilia.” Twitter’s actions have damaged both my book sales and my reputation, globally. Defamation is a tort. I could sue the corporation for damages in several jurisdictions. I have no interest in doing that, currently.

We’re Taking Bets: How Long Before Environmentalists Start Attacking EVs? – “Today, you’re not allowed to say a bad word about electric cars. They’re planet savers, after all. Environmentalists tell us so. But there will come a day — in the not-too-distant future — when the climate change fanatics will decide that EVs are planet killers, too. We’ve seen this bait-and-switch tactic before. Back in 2007, energy producers pumped money into environmental groups to promote natural gas. The Sierra Club used the funds to mount a “Beyond Coal” campaign touting the benefits of gas. Then environmentalists decided natural gas wasn’t so good after all. By 2015, they were at war with it. The motto for the Sierra Club’s new “Beyond Natural Gas” was “Dirty, Dangerous, and Run Amok.”” – I & I Editorial Board

Is Mexico’s AMLO behind the million migrant surge into the U.S.? – “With Joe Biden’s end to the Title 42 pandemic restrictions on asylum applications coming on May 11, as many as a million migrants are massing at the U.S. southern border, preparing to charge on in. It seems a little odd, actually. Something about it doesn’t entirely make sense, and now Sundance at The Conservative Treehouse has put his finger on it, connecting the dots. So now we have come to this, the million-person border surge, premised on Biden making Mexico and its populist president very, very, angry, perhaps convinced that Biden is going to pull “a Brazil” on his party and get them rigged out of the next election, given that AMLO believes that U.S. elections are all about fraud, and the U.S. is complicit in fraudy elections elsewhere, too. He’s mad and he’s going to teach Joe a lesson, unleashing as many million migrants as possible, in a maneuver U.S. officials know he can stop, but won’t.

How long before the Allen, Texas, mall shooting is memory-holed? – “Yesterday, something terrible happened in Allen, Texas: An evil man murdered eight people, and injured several others, at an outlet mall. However, based on the currently available facts, this shooting will soon be memory-holed because it does not fit the left’s preferred narrative. The core facts are simple and tragic: Whether the shooting becomes fodder for endless demands for the government to use police power to disarm Americans depends very much on the more specific details. If the shooter was white, we’ll hear about it. If the shooter was a white nationalist, we’ll hear about it even more. And if the shooter was a white nationalist who targeted non-whites, expect the FBI at the doorstep of every conservative in America. However, if the facts don’t match those metrics—if the shooter was non-white or a member of the LGBTQ+++ cohort—expect the entire event to vanish quickly from the media’s consciousness.” – Andrea Widburg – SPEAKING OF WHICH, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TRANS SHOOTER’S MANIFESTO AND STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT THE MOTIVE IN THE BLACK ON BLACK SHOOTING IN ALABAMA.

US vs Gonzalo Lira – “Dual American-Chilean national Gonzalo Lira was recently arrested by Ukraine’s secret police on charges pertaining to “wartime propaganda”, for which he faces the possibility of 5-8 years in jail. The US Government’s (USG) silence on this incident completely contrasts with its hysteria over Wall Street Journal (WSJ) employee Evan Gershkovich’s arrest in Russia last month on charges of espionage after he was caught red-handed soliciting classified military-industrial information from a regional lawmaker. This is a betrayal of American principles since the freedom of speech is regarded as a sacred right of all its citizens no matter where they might be at any given time. Regardless of whatever one might think about Lira’s views and the particular piece of Ukrainian legislation that was cited as the basis for arresting him, the USG is supposed to support the rights of its nationals abroad.” – Andrew Korybko

A Matter of Solvency – “I’m not suggesting that we start a fight, the fight’s already been started, I’m suggesting that we start to take a few swings ourselves. The break from the Fed is a good start, a necessary start, but it’s fueled by businesses that won’t deal in anything other than gold or silver or at least gold or silver backed digital currency. It gains momentum when the workers will accept nothing other than gold, silver or gold or silver backed digital currency.

Many regional banks will have to cut lending to families and businesses as deposits shrink, but in the United States bank loans are less than 19 percent of corporate credit according to the IMF, while in the euro area it is more than 80 percent. What will generate a credit crunch is the destruction of capital in the asset base of most lenders. The slump in mark-to-market valuations of all asset classes from loans to investments is what will ultimately drive an inevitable credit contraction. Credit standards have tightened significantly already, and the credit impulse of the economy, both in the US and euro area, has deteriorated rapidly, according to the respective Bloomberg indices.

You! Yes, you! Stand still, laddie!

When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who
Would hurt the children in any way they could

By pouring their derision
Upon anything we did
Exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kid

But in the town, it was well known
When they got home at night,
Their fat and psychopathic wives
Would thrash them within inches of their lives

We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher, leave them kids alone

Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone

All in all it’s just another brick in the wall
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall

[Pupils from the Fourth Form Music Class Islington Green School, London:]
We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers, leave them kids alone

Hey, teacher, leave us kids alone

All in all you’re just another brick in the wall
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall

Wrong! Do it again!
Wrong! Do it again!
If you don’t eat your meat, you can’t have any pudding!
How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?!
You! Yes, you, behind the bike sheds. Stand still, laddie!

Positive Thinking – “I keep trying to feel good, and I try to see the good in my life, the things that I am grateful for, and the beauty all around me. I don’t think I have a problem with this, as long as it doesn’t include trying to see the good in my government (Trudeau in Canada) or the good in the government of my country of origin (the United States—of which I am still very much a citizen). I just can’t do that. There is very little positive there. Jesus walked through the material world. He did not turn away from it claiming it was an illusion (although he knew it was) but instead he engaged in it. He faced it. He experienced it. And most importantly he tried to do something about it. What made him different in how he approached the illusion of suffering, hate, and death? He felt no fear.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Media’s long con to bury Hunter Biden’s laptop scandal – “It’s the biggest con ever perpetuated by the national media. For all of their hysterics over “disinformation” and “collusion,” we know now that they were indisputably the most guilty of both. Suddenly, the story at every major newspaper and network news channel wasn’t that Hunter had abandoned a computer full of unseemly and incriminating info, but that the means by which it was obtained were improper. It’s laughable. Every consequential story published by The New York Times and The Washington Post is the result of someone doing something illegal. Publishing Donald Trump’s private tax information? Received by illegal means. James Comey leaks? Received by illegal means. Developments of a federal investigation into the campaign of a major party nominee? Received by illegal means. In any event, the contents of Hunter’s laptop weren’t even government secrets. They were sitting on an abandoned piece of hardware at a repair shop. Otherwise referred to by the intelligence community as “RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION!” ” – Eddie Scarry

The Homage of the Slaves – “As the coronation of Charlie-boy approaches, the Royal household thought it would be nice to offer the British public the opportunity to swear their allegiance to King Charles III and declare themselves his slave. This “homage of the people” has been very popular amongst some. Presumably, they’re dead keen to live a life of slavery. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the “homage of the people” has not been pitched by the Establishment as the “homage of the slaves”. It’s an invitation, not a command, and everyone knows that merely attempting to enslave people is a kind of altruism. Of course, the whole point of his oath is that he, as the head of state, swears his allegiance to us. But let’s not allow our codified constitution to get in the way of a good old, statist hallucination. We haven’t for more than 800 years, so why start now? That being said, it is not without good reason that an apparent majority of people have decided that they do not want to pay “homage” to an inept toff.” – Iain Davis

The Perfect Democratic President? – ” A cognitively impaired, not particularly principled figurehead fits the needs of his handlers; and Biden obviously has no interest in doing anything to upset them. He will dutifully get behind his party’s latest woke project and ritualistically attack its Republican opponents as white nationalists, sexists, and homophobes. Equally significant, Biden is the perfect front figure for an administrative state in which the chief executive provides little more than an ornament: “A beside-the-point president is the best thing that has ever happened to the progressive centralization project. That is why Washington’s Democrats would embrace a Kamala Harris succession.”” – Paul Gottfried

‘They’re Everywhere’: Hundreds of Migrants Arrive on US-Mexico Border Ahead of Title 42 End – Sputnik News

Mayorkas gives illegal border crossers a stern warning – “After advising the American public that they were all ready for the 10,000-a-day illegal alien surge into the U.S. when Title 42 restrictions end on 5/11, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has decided to throw in a stern warning to migrants, just to be sure: “The border is not open, It has not been open, and it will not be open subsequent to May 11th.” Which sounds pretty silly. Migrants and their human smuggling sponsors aren’t stupid. They watch what the U.S. does, not what the U.S. says. The last time Joe Biden’s border czar, Kamala Harris, and for that matter, Joe Biden himself, issued a “do not come, do not come” order, the surge was on and migrants were rewarded for surging in. Why would now be any different? Migrants already know how these things work.”- Monica Showalter

AMLO Tells Joe Biden and Samantha Power to Knock It Off, Stop Interfering in Mexico and Trying to Create Instability – “after AMLO delivered a speech where he called out Joe Biden, the DEA and the CIA for trying to interfere in Mexico many people reading here predicted Samantha Power would now show up in Mexico. Those of you who made that prediction were correct. You guys are smart! Keep in mind that nearly a million central American economic migrants can be unleashed by AMLO, and likely will be, as Joe Biden and the Mexican president have faced off for almost two years over North American energy policy. Stunningly, AMLO has not backed down an inch, and instead went on the offensive against Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau. This put a target on his back and was likely the impetus for U.S. intelligence agencies to call upon Samantha Power to do her thing.” – Sundance

Ukraine says it used US-made Patriot system to intercept Russian hypersonic missile – ” Ukraine says it has for the first time used a US-made Patriot air defense system to intercept a Russian hypersonic missile.

Oleshchuk said the interception happened during a night attack on May 4 in the sky over Kyiv.” – Maria Kostenko and Nick Paton Walsh

Fake News Alert: It’s Extremely Unlikely That Kiev Shot Down A Hypersonic Missile – “No air defense system anywhere in the world at this time is able to intercept any such projectile traveling at ten times the speed of sound. At most, there might have been an accidental hit or a technical malfunction. Either of those scenarios would represent statistical anomalies, especially the first one, which means that it’s almost certainly the case that Kiev is just lying through its teeth yet again.” – Andrew Korybko

What Will People Do? – “Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is a woman of letters. We like this about her. Because, like us, in a world of text snippets, tweets, and animated gifs, she finds the traditional exchange of letters to be most civilized. Her academically trained brain – ensconced beneath a white hair shelmet – guides her thinking. With purpose and intent, Yellen puts fingers to keyboard and taps out letters to Congress warning of imminent doom. Her most recent letter, published on Department of the Treasury letterhead, and addressed to The Honorable Kevin McCarthy, rolled off the printing press on Monday the 1st of May. The objective of the letter was to correct grave misinformation she supplied in a prior letter to Congress. Yellen has chosen, through letters, to prompt Congress to raise the debt ceiling so that it can meet its existing obligations. We posit that a more effective means of communication would be for Yellen to first let spending crash through the debt ceiling; then, she should write a stack of rubber checks. This would be a form of communication which even a blockhead like Chuck Schumer could understand.” – MN Gordon

Gold, Oil & Global Currencies Entering a Watershed Moment – Matthew Piepenburg

The Fed Has Virtually Guaranteed a 2023 Recession – “At their May 3rd meeting, the Federal Reserve Committee appears to have established two key things (in their estimation). First, the Fed continues to promote the delusion that the banking system is “sound and resilient.” Second, they remain focused on bringing inflation back down to Chairman Powell’s pet target rate of 2%. At that meeting, the FOMC members also decided to raise the federal funding rate by 25 basis points (equal to .25%). That put the official number at 4.83%, the highest interest rate since 2007. Taken at face value, almost anyone who doesn’t constantly research economic conditions might think everything is heading back to normal. But everything isn’t heading back to normal, far from it.” – Peter Reagan

Fed Snooze, ECB Fireworks? – “Today, the Fed did exactly as expected. It raised interest rates by another 0.25% to 5.25% and dropped language anticipating further rate hikes ahead. In effect, it paused, while leaving the door open for future rate hikes if warranted based on incoming data. Snooze button pushed. Tomorrow, it is the European Central Bank’s turn to deliver their interest rate decision at 8:15 a.m. EST. The ECB is expected to raise rates by 0.25% with two more to follow in the months ahead.” – David Brady

The War for the World – “There is indeed a war for the world going on. In the balance is the continued existence of the human race. There is no going back. The war for the world started in earnest in January of 2020 when the global pandemic was released. It accelerated with the lockdowns (there’s that prison term again), face masks, social distancing, the little lines on the floor, standing 6 feet apart, and then went into hyperdrive with the fake 2020 election, and the C19 bioweapon shots. Escalation in this conflict has continued even if the method of attack continues to shift. Like a boa constrictor tightening its grip, the globalists are implementing a methodical campaign of marginalization. Censorship, deplatforming, and outright cancelling are the norm, for those that are not obedient to their new masters. Herding people into 15 minute cities, managing their behavior with a social credit score, using advanced technologies like centralized digital bank currencies for total control, are all in play, and with a sadistic pleasure to boot.” – Dr. Joseph Sansone

Meanwhile, we are not supposed to notice that the entities behind him are scrambling to dismantle, demolish, and asset-strip what remains of the USA in body and spirit. But enough of us are noticing to make it a problem for them. First, who are these entities? They are exactly who you think they are. They are control-freaks who cannot keep things under control.

Not long ago we had Janet Yellen and Paul Krugman, economists supposedly at the front of the pack, both proving to be utterly ignorant (or strategically dishonest) on the effects of central bank stimulus measures and the threat of inflation.

The Changing Climate – “It’s a shame there isn’t more global warming – in my neck of the woods, at least. We could use some. Even though it is early summer, it feels like late winter. Temperatures in my part of SW Virginia have been in the high 40s – during the day – and colder at night. We lost several chicks to cold that ought not to be around anymore, by now. We still have the propane heater heating us – and it’s normal for us to turn the thing off in early April. There was a winter storm warning in effect for parts of West Virginia that aren’t far from us – with 6-8 inches of heavy snow expected. In May. Three weeks away from June. It looks like the globe is cooling rather than warming – which would make sense given how little C02 there is in the air to keep us warm. That is probably why one rarely hears much about global warming anymore. Instead, the climate is changing. Indeed, it is. It always has. Just as people change, over time. The young get old – and are replaced by new young. Leaves come – and go. The Earth’s climate does the same, essentially, over a much longer time-scale. People tend to confuse – and conflate – changing weather with changing climate. But they are not synonymous, though they may be related.” – Eric Peters  – ANOTHER GOOD READ FROM ERIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is actually manmade weather engineering, and toxic spraying of metals and chemicals, but that has not occurred due to one driving a car, or taking a trip on a plane, but has been affected by government and military operations. In other words, global warming, global cooling, or the benign term, ‘climate change,’ are intentional acts, and not due simply to human existence and the basic daily functions of life.” – Gary D.

Visibility Filtering 101 – “The way this template (i.e., model) works is, nothing is actually officially “censored,” not in the way we normally think of it. Or … OK, sure, a few things are, but most of what gets censored on the Internet — by global corporations like Twitter, Facebook, and Google, in collaboration with governments, Intelligence agencies, and an ever-expanding network of shady NGOs and so-called “disinformation experts” — is not censored, technically. Instead, it is “visibility filtered.” As most of my regular readers are aware, Twitter has been “visibility filtering” my Consent Factory account with these fake “age-restricted adult content” labels for years. It started sometime during 2021 and has increased under the Musk regime. Obviously, I don’t tweet “adult content.” I tweet political satire and commentary. Twitter knows this. Everyone even passingly familiar with my writing knows this. These fake “adult content” labels are just a pretext to censor my political speech.” – CJ Hopkins

Indeed, on issue after issue in recent years Tucker treaded forthrightly where his MSM competitors in both print and broadcast media feared to go. Perhaps that was because he was deeply informed, historically read and literate and possessed of an incisive, open, inquisitive mind that was not about to play passive stenographer to either the Deep State or the lobbies and corporate interests that suffuse the Washington beltway. Accordingly, Tucker has been nearly alone in smoking out the big issues of our time with a unique breadth, edge and consistency that neither Republican shills like Sean Hannity nor DNC conduits like Anderson Cooper and Rachel Maddow could hope to approach.” – David Stockman

Illinois officials claim Second Amendment only protects handguns for self-defense – “I’ve seen a lot of dumb arguments from anti-gunners over the years, many of them repeated ad nauseam, so I’ll give Naperville, Illinois and its attorneys a small amount of credit for their originality in defending the city’s ban on so-called assault weapons in its latest filing with the Seventh Circuit.” – Cam Edwards

How do we know for sure that the Bidens are sinister? – “Everyone paying attention knows by now that Hunter Biden fathered a child with a woman with whom he met in D.C. and had a month-long affair. Hunter is a known pervert, according to the information and photographs on his laptop. The man is pond scum, an addict, a pedophile (some of the young girls he filmed himself with were clearly under-age), and a foreign agent. He had an affair with his brother’s widow then next, with the then-D.C. stripper with whom he fathered the child in question, Navy, now four year old. Hunter has never laid eyes on the girl. He tried to deny she was his, but a DNA test proved that he is indeed the girl’s father. He and his despicable parents refuse to acknowledge her existence. They deny her as their grandchild! Who does this? What kind of people do this? Grandchildren are one of life’s greatest blessings, whether they are expected or not, born into a marriage or not.” – Patricia McCarthy  – WHO DOES THIS?

A Libertarian Approach to Gun Control—That Will Actually Reduce Gun Deaths – “Donna’s Law has the potential to save thousands of lives, and its success will stem from embracing voluntary human action. It’s no secret that suicides account for the vast majority of gun deaths in the US. Though mass shootings receive the most attention, they account for less than one percent of gun deaths in America. Suicide by firearm, on the other hand, accounts for 60 percent of gun deaths in the US.” – Jon Miltimore

Something Is Rotten in Schmutzig Switzerland – “In a ‘business deal of the century’ brokered by the Swiss government, Switzerland’s largest bank and its financial pride and joy was acquired by its smaller rival USB for a meagre $3.2 billion. The current affairs sections of the leading news agencies have recently been populated by the breaking news that Credit Suisse had to be sold but to the lowest bidder this time or so it seems. Though this takeover deal, brokered in such a frantic haste over the course of just a few days by the Swiss government stands in silent testimony of this colossal collapse, there is a question hovering in mid air, why did Credit Suisse have to be sold so suddenly ‘at such short (banking) notice’, given that the giant bank has existed for 166 years with a superb banking tradition among other cutting-edge world banks? Apparently, the reason was the obstruction of the Credit Suisse Bank surrounding the investigation of the financial funds which had been deposited by the Nazis (yes, you’ve heard well, the ‘bad’ old Nazis) after the Second World War into the bank accounts of Credit Suisse and its legal predecessors:”- Natasha Wright

Russia’s Accusation That The US Plotted Putin’s Assassination Should Be Taken Seriously – “Russia has the right as a self-respecting state to respond to this US-ordered threat against its leader however it feels is most aligned with its objective national interests. Its policymakers, who obviously have much more information available to them than the public does, know how best to achieve this. Whatever they end up agreeing to do should be seen as a response to the latest unprecedented US provocation, however, thus making America fully responsible for it.” – Andrew Korybko

Is Someone Trying To Provoke Russia Into Using Tactical Nuclear Weapons Against Ukraine? – “When you are standing on the brink of the unthinkable, it can be way too easy for someone to come along and push you over the edge. I don’t know who just attacked the Kremlin with drones, but it was obviously done for a reason. Whoever did it knew, or should have known, that the Russians would strike back really hard.” – Michael Snyder

Embassy Evacuation: Sudan – “The American Embassy in Sudan is closed. What happens when an embassy is evacuated? What happens to private Americans in-country? The decision to close an embassy rises to the Secretary of State for approval. An embassy evacuation really is a virtual chess match that some State Department critics say is as much about political signals as it is about the safety of America’s diplomats. The mechanics of closing an embassy follow an established process, with only the time line varying. All embassies have standing evacuation procedures, called the Emergency Action Plan, that are updated regularly. A key component is the highly-classified “trip wires,” designated decision points. If the rebels advance past the river, take steps A-C. If the host government military is deserting, implement steps D and E, and so forth. Early actions include moving embassy dependents out of the country via commercial flights. ” – Peter Van Buren

Why gold is always money- “That America faces a severe banking crisis has become plain to see, but the authorities’ response less so. Almost certainly, the crisis has much further to go in America, spreading to other jurisdictions. We can only hope that central banks will protect all depositors, but that is far from certain in this early stage. These febrile conditions are made infinitely more difficult by the contraction of bank credit. The cyclical nature of bank credit means that the shortage of credit will intensify, driving up borrowing costs even in the face of a recession. Interest rates are no longer under the control of central banks, though market participants have yet to realise it. It has important implications for the valuation of credit.” – Alasdair Macleod

Guterres noted that the world is halfway to the 2030 deadline but only 12 percent of the SDGs are on track to be completed. The UN SDGs are a collection of 17 interlinked goals designed to be a “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all”. The SDGs were set in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly with the intention of achieving them by the year 2030.

Recycling makes people feel good, but the idea that it improves the condition of humans or the planet is highly dubious. The moral virtue of recycling is rarely questioned in the United States. It has been ingrained into the American psyche over several decades. Cost is the key word. Like any activity or service, recycling is an economic activity. The dirty little secret is that the benefits of recycling have been dubious for some time.” – Jon Miltimore

Back to the Future: The Biden Administration’s Loan Level Price Adjustment and a Repeat of the Housing Crisis -“The Biden Administration is back to its usual shenanigans. Just a month ago, it proposed an outrageous budget of almost $7 trillion of unconstitutional spending, complete with an obfuscatory smoke-and-mirrors spin about reducing the annual deficit, while increasing the national debt, punitive taxes, and more hubristic industrial policy. This time, the Biden Administration is attempting to play with mortgages, in an effort reminiscent of the pre-2007 federal follies that gave us the housing crisis and the Great Recession. The rule violates the federal government’s constitutional powers; it violates the dictates of fairness; and it violates the most basic tenets of financial prudence. At best, it would punish those who have saved diligently and managed their money carefully. At worst, it would place the individuals it is designed to help in a precarious position, saddling them with mortgages that many will not be able to service.” – Nikolai G. Wenzel and H.

And even Tucker’s emergence from his man cave on Tuesday for two minutes did nothing to quell the speculation. What it did do was underscore just how much real power he amassed during his time in the prime time slot anchoring Fox’s entire evening.

Within an hour Don Lemon was dumped by CNN. Susan Rice left the Biden Administration that morning. Nate Silver was let go from ABC News. Both Carlson and Lemon had stories planted about them harboring ‘toxic workplace environments’ to set the scene. Nuts and Sluts is a time-tested method of invalidating a public figure. It doesn’t have to be true, it just has to play. I don’t think this is a Tucker-as-Icarus proxy story no matter which way you cut it. It was always about something far bigger than Tucker Carlson.

The Narrative Industrial Complex – “One analysis of the Roman Empire says that it reached a point where the cost of maintaining the empire exceeded the benefits of empire. We may be seeing a similar issue with the Global America Empire. On the one hand, we have the massive amount of debt accumulation to maintain the global military presence required to maintain the empire. The official United States military budget exceeds the combined total of the other great powers. No one really knows what the actual cost of the military is, as so much of it is off budget. Of course, this allows many of the rulers to get rich in the process. On the other hand. Enormous amounts of time and energy are invested in maintaining the rationale for the empire.” – The Z Man

Following in the footsteps of the Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign, which sought to use fabricated information from the Steele dossier to smear Donald Trump and some of his advisors, Blinken suggested that Morell promote the argument that the laptop story involved Russia and should be dismissed as little more than a disinformation operation ordered by President Vladimir Putin.” – Philip Giraldi

How Long Can You Store Water Before It Becomes Unsafe To Drink? – “Having a safe and reliable water supply is essential for survival, especially in emergency situations. Knowing how to store water for long-term use can help you ensure that your family has access to clean drinking water for days, weeks, or even months. But one question often arises when it comes to storing water—how long can you store it before it becomes unsafe to drink?” – Rebekah P.

To Bunker or Not to Bunker? – “One of the big questions in the prepping and survival community is that of building a bunker as a survival shelter.

( A TRIBUTE TO GORDON LIGHTFOOT – A CANADIAN TREASURE )

Gordon Lightfoot, RIP – “Canada lost its greatest folk singer in Gordon Lightfoot, who died on Monday at the age of 84. Lightfoot’s music hailed pioneers, working men, laborers, little guys, trailblazers, and even drunken losers in the true folk tradition of both Canada and the U.S. It was sensitive but distinctly he-man masculine, a vivid reminder of such a thing in this age of anti-masculinity. And while many obituaries described Lightfoot’s work as “1970s,” that’s nonsense. His work is so well-crafted and original it doesn’t date. It’s as easily listened to today as when it first was released, standing the test of time. Even Canada’s prime minister Justin Trudeau, a woke leftist who is all about persecuting working men such as Canadian truckers, unexpectedly wrote a gracious tribute:” – Monica Showalter

SPECIAL LYRIC FOR THE WEEK 

I can see her lying back in her satin dress
In a room where you do what you don’t confess

Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping ’round my back stairs
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping ’round my back stairs

She’s been looking like a queen in a sailor’s dream
And she don’t always say what she really means

Sometimes I think it’s a shame
When I get feeling better when I’m feeling no pain
Sometimes I think it’s a shame
When I get feeling better when I’m feeling no pain

I can picture every move that a man could make
Getting lost in her loving is your first mistake

Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping ’round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it’s a sin
When I feel like I’m winning when I’m losing again

I can see her looking fast in her faded jeans
She’s a hard loving woman, got me feeling mean

Sometimes I think it’s a shame
When I get feeling better when I’m feeling no pain
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping ’round my back stairs
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping ’round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it’s a sin
When I feel like I’m winning when I’m losing again

Why Tucker Carlson Had To Be Purged – “Michael Rectenwald exposes the corrupt Big Pharma interests behind Tucker’s ouster: Why would Fox get rid of an income generator like Tucker Carlson just as the bill came due? The answer is that Fox is not as concerned about making money as it is about being a faithful servant of the regime. Tucker crossed significant establishment redlines and has finally suffered the consequences. In February, BlackRock Inc. increased its position in Fox Corporation (FOXA). BlackRock now owns 15.1 percent of the company. BlackRock’s enhanced position in Fox Corporation explains, in part, the Tucker dismissal, and it was a dismissal, not Tucker’s choice. Why would BlackRock, headed by CEO Larry Fink, pressure Fox News to axe Tucker? For one, Tucker was known for his scathing criticism of Ukraine’s corruption, which put him at odds with the investment giant. BlackRock also has enormous holdings in pharmaceuticals companies, as one of the three largest shareholders of Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and Merck. And Tucker recently interviewed Robert Kennedy, Jr. A presidential candidate, Kennedy has lambasted the covid-19 vaccines as ‘deadly and worthless.’” – Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.  – ARE YOU STARTING TO GET THE BIGGER PICTURE YET. BLACKROCK HAS IT’S HANDS IN EVERYTHING. INCLUDING NEWS MEDIA, FOOD SUPPLY, PHARMA  AND MORE, HAVE LINKED MANY ARTICLES ON THEM!!!!

15 Minutes to Hell – “The WEF depopulationist crowd is promoting global totalitarianism and it would appear that 15 minutes cities are an element of the global takedown. Smart cities using the most advanced technology to monitor, corral, and continue to experiment on the lessor humans that will be kept around for spare parts. ” – Dr. Joseph Sansone

Hot, Hot, Hot – “The sky warriors hold the climate models that have been predicting global doom to be sacrosanct. But as we have reported many times in the past, they’re flawed. A new research paper confirms our warnings. It would be helpful if the brand name media would make note of it. We won’t be holding our own hot air, though. Since 1980, Earth’s temperature trend “has changed little.” The researchers reckon that global temperatures have increased 0.19 degrees Celsius per decade over that period. The data was pulled from 50,498 weather stations combined with sea-surface temperature data. With this in mind, let’s take a look at the predictions that have been made by the climate models. Their forecasts indicate that ​​temperatures should be increasing at the rate of about 0.28–0.29 degrees Celsius per decade. That’s about 50% higher than the increases Berkeley Earth found.” – I & I Editorial Board

Econ 101, a Fable – “Historians of the future, poaching ‘possum snouts in sorrel sauce over their campfires, will trace the fall of Western Civ in the 2020s to the dissolving hallucination that was called the financial economy. It was a phantom parasitical organism that thrived on the back of a real economy based on making-and-doing things derived from the natural world, turbo-charged by fossil fuels. The orgy of making-and-doing went on for two-hundred-plus years. Even with cyclical “recessions,” the making-and-doing always increased in the aggregate, while its products got ever more plentiful, elaborate, and complex. The phantom financial parasite clinging to its back got used to this “growth” and it, too, developed ever more ingenious ways to suck the life out of its host organism, until it became a greater entity than the host itself, breaking its back. ” – James Howard Kunstler – ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM MR.

Government without Consent Lacks Legitimacy – ” Politicians will say, “We’re fighting for democracy,” or “against terrorism,” or so that “we don’t have to fight them over here.” Rarely, however, will you hear those politicians use freedom as a call to arms, even though America was forged and invigorated by an indomitable spirit yearning to be free. Why? Why would those in positions of power forsake freedom as a rallying cry when no other word better signifies who Americans are, what they have done, and what they will do in the future? The answer is that the American government has become no different than the English one it overthrew — intoxicated by its own power to such a degree that it has deluded itself into believing that control over those it purports to govern is its by right.” – J.B.

The Michelle Obama Nightmare Scenario- “All the attention is on the Republican race right now, but it should be on the Democrat race following the announcement, by that desiccated pervert masquerading as our president, that he thinks (sic) that he can go another round as president. The sad fact is the only people happy about Biden’s presidency are that very real doctor, Jill, and Jimmy Carter, who is serene in the knowledge that he was not the worst president of the last century thanks to Grandpa Badfinger. Everybody knows that Joe Biden is a demented freak and a creepy confident weirdo who was an idiot before his mind disintegrated into the kind of mush that he eats on the rocking chair every afternoon watching “Matlock” reruns. What are the chances that Michelle Obama will come out of her expensive and luxurious retirement to try to take up the banner for the Democrats in 2024?

CIA Director William Burns Met with Jeffrey Epstein According to Epstein’s Private Calendar – “in these new documents that the Wall Street Journal has obtained, several high profile names that were not previously associated with Jeffrey Epstein have emerged, including current CIA Director William Burns.

The Single Dumbest Thing The Empire Asks Us To Believe – “The single dumbest thing the US-centralized empire asks us to believe is that the military encirclement of its top two geopolitical rivals is a defensive action, rather than an act of extreme aggression. We’re asked to believe many extremely stupid narratives by the manipulators who rule over us, but I really think this one might take the cake. The idea that the US militarily encircling Russia and China is an act of defense rather than aggression is so in-your-face transparently idiotic that anyone who thinks critically enough about it will immediately dismiss it for the foam-brained nonsense that it is, yet it’s the mainstream narrative in the western world, and millions of people accept it as true. Because that’s the power of US propaganda.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Was It Really a Good Death? Or Murder? – “Tens of thousands of people in the U.K. have allegedly been murdered via involuntary euthanasia in hospitals and care homes run by the U.K.’s National Health Service (NHS).1 The process typically involves the administration of midazolam, a sedative drug often used in the U.S. for execution via lethal injection.2 Because it doesn’t relieve pain, an opioid such as morphine is usually added in. The scandal is ousted in “A Good Death? The Midazolam Murders,” a documentary film produced by Jacqui Deevoy.

Court Issues Order Blocking Illinois’ – “There is no evidence as to how PICA will actually help Illinois Communities,” the court wrote. “It is also not lost on this Court that the Illinois Sheriff’s Association and some Illinois States Attorneys believe PICA unconstitutional and cannot, in good conscience, enforce the law as written and honor their sworn oath to uphold the Constitution.” The court continued, “it does not appear that the legislature considered an individual’s right under the Second Amendment nor Supreme Court precedent. Moreover, PICA did not just regulate the rights of the people to defend themselves; it restricted that right, and in some cases, completely obliterated that right by criminalizing the purchase and the sale of more than 190 ‘arms.’” The court was even more critical of the arguments that the state put forward in defense of PICA. The state argued that PICA was constitutional because the arms and magazines that it banned did not exist in 1791 when the Constitution was ratified. The court called that argument “bordering on the frivolous.”” – NRA-ILA

Pay Now vs. Then – “General Motors CEO Mary Barra reportedly received almost $30 million in compensation last year. For one year’s work. For about nine year’s work, she has been paid about $200 million, according to the trade publication, Automotive News. That’s nice work – if you can get it. GM – all of it – currently has about a 17 percent market share in the U.S. GM – all of it – currently has about a 17 percent market share in the U.S. It’s up slightly from the 16-ish percent GM had circa 2021 but it’s still a lot less of a share than GM’s Chevrolet division had by itself back in 1970, when then-CEO James M. Roche was paid $822,000 for the year. The rest of GM – back then – had about a 50 percent market share. Of course, $822,000 in 1970 isn’t what it is today. But it’s not almost $30 million, either. And neither is 17 percent of what used to be 50 percent. There is another interesting number to chew on as regards GM today: $52,849. The average price paid for a new GM vehicle last year. As GM “electrifies,” prices will continue to rise – while affordability will fall. It’s a perfect nexus of sales disastrousness.” – Eric Peters

Fooling Us With Fake Stats: Household Net Worth When something means the opposite of what they claim… Towards the end of a financial bubble, the people who benefit from the bubble’s continuation — politicians hoping to be reelected, bankers hoping to complete the next deal, money managers talking their books — start touting “record household net worth” as a sign of societal health.” – John Rubino

Something’s going to blow. Two “variables” that happened to catch my eye on Friday were (1) another regional bank collapsing, and being put into receivership and (2) the price of equities continuing to move higher as though nothing is wrong. The juxtaposition of these two variables — the fact that markets didn’t care and/or notice that another bank had just collapsed — is tough to overlook. It’s especially tough when put into context. Since March, five major banks have collapsed: Silicon Valley, Silvergate, Signature Bank, Credit Suisse and now First Republic.” – Quoth the Raven

No-one except the Globalists Will be allowed to Grow Old – “The well-documented global slaughter of the elderly has shocked millions. In care homes, nursing homes and hospitals, the elderly were deliberately and cold-bloodedly murdered by doctors and nurses acting under ‘orders’ from above. Politicians and advisers decreed that the elderly should be denied medical care, and thousands who did find themselves in institutions were treated without compassion, caring or proper, decent care. The elderly were denied contact with relatives or friends and were kept in isolation for many months and in some cases for years. Residents were told that they had to be jabbed with a so-called ‘vaccine’ that was known not to work and to be dangerously toxic. Thousands of elderly patients were killed by a vaccine which should have been classified as too dangerous to use as landfill. The elderly were locked in, forced to wear masks (which did much harm and no good) and subjected to conditions which would have aroused an uproar if they’d been applied to illegal immigrants or dangerous prisoners.” – Dr Vernon Coleman MB ChB DSc

Joe Freedom – “Joe Biden unironically declares that the 2024 presidential election will be about whether we want more freedom, or less. In his video, Biden states that the 2024 presidential election is about whether we want more freedom or less freedom. In asking that question, Biden makes the case that he is undeserving of the presidency. When the Biden Administration has not been able to achieve progressive goals through legislation, it has turned to executive orders and government regulation to deliver the wishes of the ruling class. With each executive order and regulation, Americans’ freedoms continue to erode slowly but surely.” – Jim Nelles

Obama and his friends are a perfect illustration of the modern-day elitist Democrat – “Just yesterday was saw more proof that the mainstream media in the U.S. and beyond are P.R. agencies for the Democrats. The media gave great prominence to former president Obama, filmmaker Steven Spielberg, and rock star Bruce Springsteen making a surprise appearance at a Barcelona restaurant with a last-minute dinner reservation on Thursday. So how can Obama’s friends in Barcelona be described? They are white, influential, powerful, and very wealthy. Most of Obama’s friends and neighbors are from this category. Most of Obama’s backers, when he was president, were also from this group. In fact, the Obama presidency was dedicated to serving this group; even some liberal outfits realized that. But if you listen to Obama’s wife Michelle, this group is causing irreparable damage to America. If you watch liberal outfits such as MSNBC or read Democrat mouthpiece such as the New York Times, you would think that this very group need to be destroyed if America has to survive. This is the modern Democrat party. There is no connection between what they say and what they are. There is no connection between what they practice and what they practice. Hypocrisy is their religion. When Michelle Obama and the Democrats pushes for diversity she know that none of her rich white friends will ever be affected.” – Rajan Laad

In the Biden family, the four-year-old girl remains “she who must not be named” literally. Not only has President Biden refused to refer to her as a grandchild or even include a Christmas stocking with the other children, her father Hunter is fighting to prevent her from using the Biden name.

The True Crime Soap Opera Life of Hunter Biden – “Keeping abreast of Biden Junior’s legal problems is no easy task – and the possible implications are enormous. The commander-in-chief’s son, Hunter Biden, has yet to be charged with a crime. Has he committed one or more? That, we do not yet know. Still, the Justice Department’s now five-year-long investigation of his tax affairs and business activities continues. The House Committee on Oversight and Reform, under the chairmanship of James Comer (R-KY), has waded through thousands of financial records and other documents – many from Hunter’s infamous laptop – that reveal a complicated network of shell companies created by or on behalf of at least nine members of the Biden family. These LLCs have received payments from multiple countries – for what, exactly, it is unclear, in many cases. And, to top it all off (so far), the mother of one of Hunter’s children is accusing him of falsely pleading poverty to reduce his child support payments.

ECONOMIC NEWS

US Banks Urged to Submit Final First Republic Bids by Sunday Amid Financial Fallout – “Aside from JPMorgan Chase and the PNC Financial Services Group, the FDIC has also reached out to the US Bancorp and the Bank of America Corporation. The Citizens Financial Group Inc. is also reported to be involved in the bidding war. Insiders have indicated that based on initial submitted bids, interested parties are now expected to submit their final offers. However, of the named banking companies, it’s alleged Bank of America has yet to commit to a final submission, and that JPMorgan may be ineligible as it has more than 10% of nationwide deposits in its pocket.” – Sputnik News

First Republic Becomes The Third Banking Domino To Fall Bank Failure? – “Banking Regulation Failure? Or Banking Regulator Failure? With the FDIC apparently hoping to secure a takeover—in effect, a “shotgun marriage” as was common during the Great Financial Crisis and subsequent recession of 2007-2009—before the markets open on Monday, First Republic Bank thus becomes the third banking domino to fall, as the banking crisis returns to Wall Street. This moment has been an inevitability since First Republic shared its earnings numbers on April 28, ahead of its 10Q SEC filing. The press release confirmed that the banking industry’s bad news had returned with a vengeance.” – Peter Nayland Kust

After all, Gold is the only money that has survived in history but virtually nobody is aware of this vital information. That’s why only 0.5% of global financial assets are invested in gold. Still most people put their trust in paper money. In spite of the title, in this article I will be a Mug for a day and make some gold and silver projections.” – Egon von Greyerz

    THE BIG PICTURE NEWS

Blaming Conservatives for Collapse: Damned if They Do, Damned if They Don’t on the Debt Ceiling There is more at stake in this particular debt ceiling battle than any other we’ve seen in modern history. – “We just saw the beginning of the end with the latest banking crisis involving companies like SVB, First Republic and Credit Suisse – It’s not just US finances, but banks around the world that rely on liquidity injections from the Fed to stay afloat. The central bankers addicted the system to cheap easy debt and now they are taking away the drugs. In other words, no one can honestly argue that the central banks are ignorant or unaware of the threat. They KNOW what’s about to happen and they do not care. But why does the establishment want a crisis now instead of five years ago, or five years in the future? Thankfully, much of the public is becoming aware of the various programs to introduce CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies), but what they may not understand is the manner in which such massive economic changes usually happen. Generally speaking, in order to institute a new economic system the banks have to take down the old system.” – Brandon Smith

RFK Jr and the CIA (VIDEO) – Greg Reese   – NOTHING REALLY NEW HERE, UNLESS YOU ARE TOTALLY OBLIVIOUS; BUT A GOOD SHORT REFRESHER!!!!!

WASHINGTON, D.C. AND THE SCAMDEMIC – “This past weekend, I traveled to Washington, DC…The DC region isn’t filled with earnest, altruistic, bang-for-buck public servants. Rather, it’s largely populated by government workers with high GS titles and salaries, as well as other affluent opportunists at PR and lobbying firms and NGOs. Fauci emblematizes those who dip big buckets into the wide river of dollars generated by tax revenues and government printing presses. He took over $434,312 in annual salary during Coronamania and is pensioned $414,000/year for lying to and terrorizing a nation. During his 55-year(!) tenure, he also funded much pernicious research. Is there any doubt that the US would have been far better off over the past three years if Fauci, the rest of CDC/NIAID staff, Francis Collins, Debbie Birx, Rochelle Walensky and their ilk had worked at Taco Bell instead? Even during his retirement, Fauci shamelessly doubles down on Covid and “vaccine” lies, which the complicit media has never challenged. In general, DC has been an occupational magnet for latte-loving, European-vacationing liberals who think that they’re smarter than the proletariat and that governments should increasingly control society; to them, Coronamania was a festival.” – Mark Oshinskie  – GOOD READ FROM MARK!!!!

Poverty and Crisis: Sucking Humanity Dry – “In 2022, it was estimated that a quarter of a billion people across the world would be pushed into absolute poverty in that year alone. In the UK, poverty is increasing in two-thirds of communities, as millions go without heat and skip meals. Living standards in the UK are plummeting. The Bank of England’s chief economist Huw Pill says that people should ‘accept’ being poorer. This is similar to the response of Rob Kapito, co-founder of the world’s biggest asset management firm BlackRock. In 2022, he said that a “very entitled” generation of people who have never had to sacrifice would soon have to face shortages for the first time in their lives. Of course, Kapito is no doubt referring to ordinary US citizens and not himself. Kapito, as the president of BlackRock, made $26,750,780 in total compensation in 2021. BlackRock is one of the rich ‘barbarians at the barn’ who continue to make huge financial killings from an exploitative food regime.” – Colin Todhunter

Why they hate Tucker Carlson – “The liberal elite’s fear of Fox News is really a fear of the white working class. Woe betide the left-leaning hack who deviates from the narrative about Tucker Carlson. Witness the troubles at the American Prospect. On Wednesday, the day after Carlson’s abrupt departure from Fox News, that young organ of pained liberalism made the grave error of publishing a piece suggesting Carlson might in fact be a complicated figure. Cue hysteria. Twitter – well, the small portion of it that reads the American Prospect – went nuts. Readers vented, subs were cancelled. Things got so crazy that the magazine’s executive editor, David Dayen, issued a mea culpa. We ‘fell short’, he said. He atoned for the American Prospect’s transgression against liberal orthodoxy by publishing a follow-up piece titled ‘The Real Tucker Carlson’. The real Tucker Carlson is a ‘neofascist’ in thrall to ‘racism, xenophobia, misogyny, disdain for democracy, affinity for autocrats and autocracy [and] habitual lying’, it said. Shorter version: Carlson’s scum. Order restored. Narrative reinstated. Sleep easy, rich liberals.” – Brendan O’Neill

ABC News censors RFK Jr. interview remarks on Covid vax problems, may have violated federal law – “Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is a bigger problem for the Democrats and their media arm than they realized.

You see, before airing the taped interview, ABC censored his comments attacking the effectiveness and safety of the Covid vaccines.” – Thomas Lifson

Newsmax Offers Tucker EVERYTHING — Complete Control Over ALL Programming If true, it sounds like a good deal for everyone. TCN. The Tucker Carlson Network. That’s essentially what Newsmax would become if Carlson accepts the unofficial proposal reportedly being offered to him through proxies by CEO Chris Ruddy.” – JD Rucker

Reminder: The Media Once Bashed Trump For Transgressing The One-China Policy The US Now Spits On – “The US has been increasingly treating Taiwan like a sovereign nation with whom diplomatic relationships and alliances can be formed, in violation of its longstanding One-China policy that has kept the peace for decades. And I just think it’s worth noting that the western media who’ve lately been condoning these moves became outraged at Donald Trump just a few years ago for doing the same thing to a far lesser degree.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Why Hasn’t the U.S. Arrested WaPo Journalist for Publishing Classified Documents? – “Why hasn’t the U.S. government arrested WaPo journalist Shane Harris for publishing highly classified documents related to the war in Ukraine and U.S. spying on its allies? The ones leaked by Air national Guardsman Jack Teixeira? Meanwhile Wikileaks’ Julian Assange is under arrest, rotting away in his fifth year in a UK prison fighting extradition to the United States. There are complex legal questions to be answered about who is a journalist and what is publishing in the digital world” – Peter Van Buren

‘We’re Experiencing Real-Time Sovietization’: Taibbi on the Media Blackout of CIA’s Election Meddling – “I’m not one given to hyperbole, but I think Taibbi is right. We’re witnessing naked electoral corruption, orchestrated from the highest levels of power in America. It’s like nothing we’ve ever seen before, at least not in my lifetime. And we’re watching the media remain silent about it, either because they are complicit in the lie, or because they want to protect Biden, or they’re too afraid to share the truth (perhaps all three).” – Jon Miltimore

POPE FRANCIS; The Web of Charity – And Government Charity – “WHY doesn’t Pope Francis say anything about the rise of Legal Pedophilia via UN Demands? Why doesn’t Pope Francis comment about the Jesuit Churches helping illegal immigrants invading the US? Why doesn’t Pope Francis express contempt for the Ukraine Nazi’s? Why doesn’t Pope Francis announce the truth about degenerative Biden? Why doesn’t Pope Francis reveal the value of the Vatican and Vatican City? WHY does the Vatican hide documents of historical value?” – Helena Glass

THE FIX IS IN: Biden Gets Reporter’s Question in Advance – Joe Biden, the most anti-gun President in the history of the United States, is 80 years old, suffers from advanced dementia, and has trouble reading from a teleprompter, much less comprehending what he’s saying. He makes up stories in which he always appears in the starring role, even though everyone knows they’re lies. And he tends to wander off if left unsupervised, which is why the First Lady leads him around like a puppy. Therefore, if Biden is going to beat the GOP challenger, regardless of who’s nominated, he will need serious help. Yesterday, the legacy media proved once again they are more than willing to give Biden all the help he needs. They’re conspiring with the White House to gaslight the American public into believing their commander-in-chief has a full set of marbles rolling around in his vacuous head. This cheat sheet had the name and picture of Los Angeles Times reporter Courtney Subramanian. It also had the question she planned to ask, which raises even more questions about Biden’s fitness for office. He called on Subramanian first but didn’t even try to pronounce her last name.” – Lee Williams

White House insists Biden reporter cheat sheet ‘entirely normal’ – “White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed Thursday it was “entirely normal” for President Biden to be holding a cheat sheet with advance knowledge of a journalist’s question at a joint press conference — even as she denied that was what happened.” – Josh Christenson

8 Ways Government Shielded Joe Biden From The ‘Laptop From Hell’ – Margot Cleveland

Kamala’s Affair – Sleeping Her Way to The Top – “Since the media is shining a light on Trump’s affair, it is only fair to point out similar actions taken by those on the other side of the aisle. Kamala Harris is not a particularly intelligent or charismatic individual, but she managed to work her way to the top by dating men in positions of power. In the 1990s, 29-year-old Kamala Harris dated married 60-year-old San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. Harris was 31 years younger than Brown, who was married with a family at home. Harris accompanied Brown on his campaign trail and made connections along the way. She cannot deny the affair and claims that it is now “an albatross hanging around my neck.” Clinton used to call Brown “the real Slick Willie” for his playboy ways, which is saying something coming from blue dress Bill.” – Martin Armstrong

Dylan Mulvaney says it should be ‘illegal’ to use wrong pronouns – “Like, the articles written about me using ‘he’ pronouns and calling me a man over and over again, I feel like that should be illegal.” – Emily Crane  – WELL, LET’S JUST CALL HIM A “DICK” THEN. HE ( YES, HIM AND HE ARE THE CORRECT PRONOUNS ) IS ACTING LIKE ONE!!!

Time for Biden to come clean on Ukraine – “The leaks appear to show that officials’ understanding of the war is at odds with their public statements, raising the specter of Vietnam.” – George Beebe

Trapped Americans In Sudan “Shocked & Disgusted” – Left By Biden To Fend For Themselves – “Sudan is continuing to stare into the abyss of full-blown civil war as the battle for control of the capital of Khartoum between two rival generals – now reaching the two week mark – results in a mounting death toll. Currently, dozens of countries have for days been racing to get their citizens out via military transport planes, ships, and via cross-border land routes into Ethiopia and neighboring countries, but not the United States.” – Tyler Durden

5/11: As many as a million migrants mass at the U.S. border for illegal entry -lawmaker – “This week Joe Biden touted a laundry list of immigration carrots and sticks intended to disincentivize illegal immigration at the southern border now that he’s lifting the sparsely enforced Title 42 restrictions on May 11. They were mostly carrots. The New York Times called them a “new back door on immigration,” and explained that its permissiveness went well beyond the lawful congressional parameters for the admission of immigrants. The response? More migrants at the border than ever. They’re massing now in record numbers. Call it 5/11.” – Monica Showalter

NATO Boss’s Ukraine Membership Stupid Comment Explained – “For Ukraine to become a NATO member at any point, points to a WWIII scenario. Has the NATO boss lost his mind or is the plan of the Americans coming off the rails? So NATO now is planning on making Ukraine a member, or at least this is the rhetoric coming from its secretary general who recently announced it. Given that the very essence of what the Ukraine war is about is membership of this 31 member defence organisation it would seem unfitting for Stoltenberg to make such an announcement, especially considering that Hungary would always veto such an idea anyway. So what’s really behind this latest ‘news’ item? ” – Martin Jay

They Are Literally Poisoning Our Food On A Massive Scale, And Most People Don’t Even Realize What Is Happening – “Have you ever heard of neonicotinoids? Most of you probably have not, and that is exactly what the giant agricultural corporations want. They don’t want you to know that crops all over the United States are literally being “pre-poisoned” with harmful insecticides that are having a nightmarish impact on the environment. And most of our politicians will never do anything about this because they are being showered with campaign donations by the companies that are doing the poisoning.” – Michael Snyder

ECONOMIC NEWS

JPMorgan, PNC To Buy First Republic After FDIC Seizure First Leaves Taxpayers Holding The Toxic Stuff – “As the weekend begins, the WSJ reports late on Friday that big banks including JPMorgan and PNC are set to buy First Republic Bank but not in a private, market-arranged deal but rather in a transaction that would follow a government seizure of the troubled lender. A seizure and sale of First Republic, which would wipe out the equity of FRC and potentially impose losses on creditors, could come as soon as this weekend, the WSJ sources said. And so JPM, which is already the largest US bank is about to get even bigger, by scooping up all the good FRC assets while leaving US taxpayer holdings on to the toxic ones.” – Tyler Durden

What the End of Fed Rate Hikes Means for Stocks – “According to this week’s Commerce Department report, U.S. GDP increased at an annualized rate of 1.1 percent during Q1 2023. The experts thought GDP would grow by 2 percent. They were wrong. By now, it’s very well possible GDP has already slipped into reverse. We won’t know until the Commerce Department’s Q2 report is released in late July. In the interim, there’s an important question to be asked: Is a recession bullish or bearish for stocks? Next week, following the federal open market committee (FOMC) meeting on May 2 and 3, it’s widely anticipated that the Federal Reserve will hike interest rates by 25 basis points. This will take the federal funds rate to a range of 5.00 to 5.25 percent. It is also anticipated that this will be the last rate hike of this rate hiking cycle. That the Fed will then hold interest rates, before cutting them later this year to offset the recession.” – MN Gordon

Stagflationary outlook – “Consolidation of precious metals prices continued this week, with gold unchanged at $1984, and silver down 26 cents at $24.83. Turnover in silver futures on Comex was healthy, while in gold futures it was more modest. In the four days of this week, 779 gold contracts were stood for delivery, representing 2.42 tonnes. Gold and silver prices were undoubtedly “managed “by market makers and bullion bank trading desks, to ensure that April gold call options struck at $2000 and above expired worthless. That being the case, some selling pressure is likely to be alleviated in the weeks ahead. But as always, the battle between the bulls and bears continues, with the establishment shorts continuing to try to call the shots.” – Alasdair Macleod

Markets Eye Looming New Bank Failures, Debt Ceiling Showdown – “Possible Price Catalysts Include Fed, Banks, Political Conflict. Hard assets stand to gain from a cheapening U.S. dollar. The Dollar Index has been in a downtrend since last Fall. But over the past three weeks, currency markets have been choppy – as have precious metals market” – Mike Gleason
