CDC Director Rochelle Walensky Is Leaving The Agency – ““Dr. Walensky has saved lives with her steadfast and unwavering focus on the health of every American,” President Biden said in a statement.”- Tyler Durden –  MORE BIDEN “BS”. WHO WILL BE THE NEXT DIRECTOR.  PETER HOTEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Juice for All That – “Energy hog electric cars will become too expensive to drive – in addition to being too expensive for most people to afford to buy – as the cost of electricity goes through the roof. Which it will as a result of shortages – and the artificially induced devaluation of the money people have available to pay for it. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky explained how it will play it to the Biden Thing’s secretary of transportation – who responded with the usual sociopath smirks. Watch for these when watching politicians and their appointees. It’s a tell that lets you know.” – Eric Peters – EXCELLENT, MUST READ FROM ERIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Meet King Charles, The Great Resetter (VIDEO) – “While most of the the public’s attention is falling on the obvious issues—the monarchy’s increasing irrelevance to the 21st century, the colossal waste of taxpayer resources that go towards the upkeep of the world’s richest family and their multiple palaces, the dark history of slavery and other colonial abuses for which royals of the far-distant past are responsible—few are aware of just how dark the history of the royal family is, or just how twisted Charles’ vision for the future of the United Kingdom—and, indeed the world—really is.” – James Corbett

Another Op-Ed Attack At Fauci’s Never-Ending Victory Tour – “What a dystopian nightmare watching “America’s Doctor” try to continue his Covid victory tour. It is both shocking and unsurprising that he would do this despite leaving a generation of children with lower IQ scores, a US life expectancy which dropped three years in the span of two, hundreds of thousands of deaths from the vaccines amongst working-age Americans (threatening the life insurance industry), millions of vaccine injured, skyrocketing disability rates, an explosion of cancers, and suddenly plummeting birth rates. So I went after him.” – Pierre Kory, MD, MPA

Pretend to the End – “The creatures of the underworld running our country must think the public is awfully stupid. You are expected to take at face value the claim that “Joe Biden” is actually up for re-election. Could it be more obvious that he’s pretending? (Just as he’s been pretending to serve as CEO of our government.) 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. My guess is that the nominal leader of this underworld in the USA — more like a master-of-ceremonies than an actual director — is Barack Obama. He has been running “Joe Biden” since the 2020 coup against Mr. Trump.” – James Howard Kunstler

Crowning the King of Wall Street – “In addition to intimate associates of Leslie Wexner, JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon’s ascent to the highest tier of Wall Street power also depended heavily on the Crown family – whose deep ties to organized crime and the military-industrial complex made them one of the richest, most powerful and most corrupt families in America.” – Whitney Webb – THIS THE SECOND PART OF WHITNEY’S INVESTIGATION. PART ONE ON DIMON WAS LINKED ON 03/31/23!!!

ECONOMIC NEWS

Establishment Economists Are Finally Realizing It’s Time To Pay The Piper – “The one thing about the financial world that never ceases to amaze me is how far behind the curve mainstream economists always seem to be. 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. In fact, they both consistently denied such a threat existed until they were crushed by the evidence.” – Brandon Smith

On The Verge Of A Banking Industry Apocalypse? – “Every time that they tell us that everything is fine, things just seem to get even worse.” – Michael Snyder

How to Tell If Your Bank is in Trouble – “You no doubt have some concerns about the bank at which you keep your deposits. I mean, why wouldn’t you? Three of the largest bank failures in U.S. history have already taken place this year. And by the look of things, there are even more to come. So today we’re going to do a quick break down of how to analyze a bank to see if it’s in trouble. This is NOT meant to be an exhaustive lesson on accounting, but simply a decent rule of thumb to help you figure out if a bank is in serious trouble as far as its bond portfolio is concerned.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Fed’s Balance Sheet Plunges by $230 Billion in 6 Weeks, Biggest such Plunge in 14 Years – “Massive gyrations on the balance sheet after FDIC’s take-down of First Republic, sale of its assets to JP Morgan, and FDIC’s loan to JPM.” – Wolf Richter

For The Love Of Money: Why CBDCs Must Fail – “Even For Banks, It’s Never About The Money. Money, simply put, is anything people use to pay for goods and services. Money is anything that serves as a medium of exchange. A medium of exchange is anything that is widely accepted as a means of payment. But something need not have intrinsic value to serve as money. Fiat money is money that some authority, generally a government, has ordered to be accepted as a medium of exchange.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Year-Over-Year Productivity Negative for 5 Quarters, That’s Never Happened Before – “Wages are soaring but year-over-year productivity is sinking the most in history.” – Mish

U.S. Dollar & Sovereign Debt Endgame – “The regional bank crisis is continuing on, or ahead, of schedule.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

King Charles and the Globalists set meeting for September at which they will plot how to accelerate goals of U.N. Agenda 2030 and the complete digitization of humanity – “The World Economic Forum and United Nations are so concerned that the goals of Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development and the Great Reset (aka technocracy under a one-world beast system) are in jeopardy of not being fulfilled by the appointed date, that they have called for a summit in September to discuss how they can kickstart their stalled totalitarian agenda. The September 18-19 Summit in New York will “mark the beginning of a new phase of accelerated progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals,” according to the U.N. website.” – Leo Hohmann

As a Digitized Iron Curtain Descends, Spiritual Faith Rises – “Two trend lines extend into the future. One tracks government’s increased oppression, surveillance, and social control. The other tracks people’s rising spiritual faith, desire for personal freedom, and determination that government should leave them alone. This is our reality. It also exposes the chink in totalitarianism’s armor.” – J.B. Shurk

Will the Mass Poisoning of Our Skies Cause a Killing Field Effect? – “The term Chemtrails, while accurate, is a common term that has been widely mis-used by the general population and media, certainly by design, Those who expose this fraud are of course, generally called “conspiracy theorists.” This is most always an unwarranted and rhetorical ad hominem attack on character instead of examining substance; all in order to avoid any discussion of what is a valid subject matter concerning the top-down manipulation of weather, and the poisoning of all living things. 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

Does Government Believe in the Constitution? – “Last week, FBI officials boasted that in 2022 their agents had spied on only 120,000 Americans without search warrants! Under the Constitution, that number should be ZERO. This revelation is supposed to give members of Congress comfort that the folks we have hired to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution are in fact doing so. In reality, the FBI and their cousins at the National Security Agency continue to assault and violate a core freedom protected by the Constitution — the right to be left alone.” – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

Example: How Propaganda is Done –  PBS/Frontline Reports on Press Freedom Day – “You cannot sincerely believe in Press Freedom while simultaneously supporting Julian Assange’s imprisonment.

Cable Guy Gone…..But Not For Long! – “We are not sure what the Murdochs were smoking last Monday morning when they shot the immensely profitable Fox News Channel in the kneecaps, but we do know that Tucker Carlson was one of a kind among commentators in the vast journalistic wasteland otherwise known as television news. 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

Americans Have Something to Say That Biden Won’t Like to Hear – “President Joe Biden and his gun control advisors won’t like this news. One of the most consistently accurate and reputable polling organizations found more Americans oppose one of the president’s top gun control goals than support it. Monmouth found nearly half of Americans – 49 percent – oppose a federal ban on so-called “assault weapons.” The poll was released just days after the president once again called for a national ban on Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs).” – Larry Keane

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

Macron is waging an all-out class war – “Opponents of his pension reforms are being brutalised with impunity. May Day is meant to be a celebration of working people. In France, 1 May is a public holiday. It’s a reminder of the fact that workers’ rights were first achieved through struggle and can only be maintained through continuous action. This May Day, protesters were in the streets across France in large numbers – around 2.3million of them, according to a trade-union source. The main impetus for Monday’s protests was Emmanuel Macron’s notorious pensions reforms. The public sees these reforms as a form of class warfare. This is because raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 only really affects those who started working earlier in life – that is, the working class.” – Charles Devellennes  – NOTHING IN THE U.S. MSM ABOUT 2.3 MILLION WORKING CLASS PEOPLE PROTESTING.

There Was a Blood Bath in Some Bank Stocks Yesterday: So Much for Jamie Dimon’s Prediction That It’s the End of the Banking Crisis – Pam Martens and Russ Martens

What Happened Yesterday… and Why Regional Banks Are in Trouble – “Thus far in 2023, there have been three major bank failures. And I do mean MAJOR: all told the three banks had $532 billion in assets. That amount is actually greater in size that the combined assets of the 25 banks that failed in 2008. What is going on here? What is going on is that the Fed created this mess… and bad risk management at the banks has exacerbated it.” – Graham Summers, MBA

COMEX Gold JOLTed Again – “Precious metal prices are rallying as it becomes clearer that the Fed’s reckless policy of continued rate hikes is having a significant detrimental effect on the U.S. economy. Just as the Fed delayed hiking rates by claiming inflation was “transitory”, the same “experts” are now crushing economic growth by overhiking rates. Just as summer follows winter, the Fed will soon begin a renewed cycle of rate cuts and QE. The COMEX precious metals sense this and have responded accordingly, with prices up significantly from the lows in late 2022.” – Craig Hemke

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. Shelton Weeks

Tucker, Blackrock and the SIFI Two-Step – “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. Date: May 1, 2023 Author: Tom Luongo 0 Comments The big news this week was Tucker Carlson’s unceremonious firing by Fox News. The reasons for Tucker’s firing are still unclear. 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. I’m not the first to point out to you just how many views this thing has gotten, dwarfing his Neilson Ratings. This was a serious needle scratch. Something changed behind the scenes. 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

The corruption engaged in by the Democratic Party leadership appears to be never-ending and no one is ever held accountable.

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

( 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.

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.

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 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.

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. She realized something was wrong when a do-not-resuscitate order, or DNR, was put on her dad while he was in a care home.” – Dr. Joseph Mercola

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

The Economy Is A Powder Keg, Boiling Over And Ready To Blow – “Pressure is building up in the economic system while our government crosses the Rubicon with how they handle policy. 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

Yet, those of us who are neither still represent the greatest threat to their plans when we use our own minds, make assessments and calculations based on independent research. Now we have much more information at our fingertips, so they try and stem that. Those who expose their secrets and plans are quickly done away with, silenced, canceled or murdered. Tucker Carlson is one of the latest targets of their suppression, but the harder they have to work to keep the truth from rising to the surface, the more victims they create, generating more truth that has to be smothered. ” – T.L.

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

The presstitutes are paid millions of dollars in Big Pharma advertising for the purpose of suppressing all truth about Covid and the alleged vaccines. Tucker Carlson’s firing by Fox News is further proof, along with the false Russiagate, Documentgate, Insurrectiongate, Strippergate charges against President Trump, Julian Assange’s decades long imprisonment in violation of due process, the eviction of Matt Taibbi from Rollingstone, Glenn Greenwald from the Intercept, and James O’Keefe from Project Veritas, that the corrupt ruling elites are determined that no truth be permitted to reach the American population.” – Paul Craig Roberts

The Natural State is not a Biden family favorite but there is one thing that would ordinarily be an attraction: Biden’s daughter Navy Joan. 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. Indeed, the only reason that Hunter is coming to the same state with his daughter is to seek to limit his child support.” – Jonathan Turley

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. It’s a true crime thriller and a soap opera rolled into one – and it is playing out on the national stage, despite the left-wing media’s best efforts to ignore it all.” – Graham J Noble

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.

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

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

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.

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

This Inflation is Stuck, Churns from Product to Product: Core PCE Price Index Moves Sideways for 9 Months, Stubbornly High Near 5%. To Top it Off, February Was Revised Higher – “It’s just not encouraging at all. Inflation is just shifting around, dropping in some product categories, rising in others.” – Wolf Richter

Fed Says… “The Banking System Is Sound.” Is This The KISS OF DEATH? (VIDEO) – Gregory Mannarino

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

Fossil fuels, which currently supply about 80 percent of the world’s energy, come with tradeoffs. Renewable energies and green technologies come with tradeoffs. There are pros and cons to each. The problem is that people often look at fossil fuels and focus solely on their cons—they are finite, cause pollution, and so on—and ignore their benefits. With so-called “green” technologies and energies, people tend to do the opposite.” – Jon Miltimore

NEWS ( LOTS OF  VERY GOOD READS TODAY – MR. KUNSTLER, CJ, GARY BARNETT, T.L., NAOMI, ERIC PETERS ALL ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READS )

On War and Wars – “The weird part the news media isn’t telling you about World War Three is that America’s main enemy in this struggle is the US Government itself. America is looking like that crazy person on the street, punching himself in the head. How else do you explain this epic act of national self-destruction? The “Joe Biden” regime is “standing up for our democracy” by trying to silence all and any public speech about what it does in the world and how it treats its own citizens. Meanwhile, the entire scaffold of American life crumbles and you are supposed to not notice it’s happening. The funny part is that the Democratic Party thinks this is an election strategy. The funniest part of the funny part is that we bother holding elections at all. You understand, “Joe Biden” is only pretending to run for president again, in the same way that he only pretended to be president the past two years.” – James Howard Kunstler

The Compliant and Obedient Are Freedom’s Cancer – “Sometimes, in order to clear the air, it is necessary to expose the real risk to our freedom, instead of simply concentrating on the obvious evils that surround us. Those obvious evils of course consist of the State, government, criminal politicians, their enforcers in police and military, and corporate and banking heads, who actually control the government, and therefore, the people. Yes, these are bad people and entities who seek power and control, but are they the only real problem? Most would claim that the real problem lies with others, and never accept any responsibility themselves.” – Gary D. Barnett

Ruled by the Mad – “Every single commodity with which we sustain our own survival is being eliminated by Executive Order and somehow deemed a threat to democracy. Stupidity is one thing, that’s manageable, but combined with raging arrogance that prefers their own delusional ramblings and logical contortions to any other sound on earth and you just know that one day they will utter the key combination of nouns and verbs that pushes some nuclear power over the edge of restraint. Most of us have realized that the sheer insanity they employ is designed to try and drive the average American out of his mind and into some sort of civil conflict with them. Of course, they’re confident they will win, or simply use our rebellion as an excuse to capture and imprison every single remaining AMERICAN. ” – T.L. Davis

The Ruling Class’s Stalinist Purge – “Like a hammer smashing anyone who seeks to “make America great,” the ruling class pounds Trump, his supporters, and now even Tucker Carlson. A “great America,” you see, is antithetical to the technocratic police State that the Marxist globalists are busy building. When individual rights and liberties are respected, self-sufficient Americans do not need government apparatchiks to fashion drab, one-size-fits-all, welfare-dependent, groupthink-dominated futures” – J.B. Shurk

The Democrats Plan to Steal Another Election – “Joe Biden with a dismal approval rating of 37% has announced that he is running for a second term. How can he possibly win? By again stealing the election. Democrats control the large cities in swing states. In the past two elections, they have proven that they can easily steal the election. It is now impermissible to even report evidence of election theft. Experts who provided evidence were threatened with prosecution, and Fox News management rushed to pay more than three-quarters of a billion dollars of shareholders’ money in order to create the precedent that reporting evidence of stolen elections constitutes defamation.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Is It Time for Unemployed Tucker Carlson to Enter the U.S. Political Fray? – “This week, Fox News axed without warning or explanation its highest-rated talk show host, Tucker Carlson. Tragic as that may be for his legion of listeners, Carlson now has a chance to not only question America, but to change it. It looks as though the establishment – the Deep State, the Swamp, the Nursing Home for Octogenarian Ice Cream Lovers, call it what you will – has finally found a way to eliminate Tucker Carlson and his heretical views once and for all.” – Robert Bridge

The Great Divide – “I am fairly biased in favor of Bobby Kennedy. I think he is an admirable, honorable human being. I would love to see him in the Oval Office. That isn’t going to happen, of course. The global-capitalist ruling classes are never going to let him near the Oval Office. They learned their lesson back in 2016. There are not going to be any more unauthorized presidents. The folks at GloboCap are done playing grab-ass, and they want us to know that they are done playing grab-ass. That’s what the last six years have been about. So, here’s my bad advice for Bobby. Fuck them. They’re not going to let you win, anyway. They are going to smear you, slime you, demonize you, distort every other thing you say, and just generally lie about who you are and what you believe in and what you stand for. They are going to paint you as a bull-goose-loony, formerly smack-addled, conspiracy-theorizing, anti-vax fanatic no matter what you do. If you tone down your act and try to “heal the divide” and “end the division,” they are going to have you for lunch, and then sit around picking their teeth with your bones.” – CJ Hopkins

These asleep people are the same kinds of people Lenin called useful idiots, back in his day. Which is to say, people who were asleep to what Lenin was after.” – Eric Peters

RFK, Jr Is Making It Real – “I was elated to find out that Joe Biden is all about my freedom, and while he didn’t have a lot of luck increasing freedom in his first three years, I’m sure that wasn’t his fault. He is running for a second term because he wants to save freedom. Or is it democracy he wants to save – Biden interchanges the terms with abandon. I do have a small concern about the slurring of words, and the imprecise language, but come on, man! This is our moment. Joe Biden wants war everywhere, right now. Funny how he didn’t mention that in his announcement. It really does seem as if the country is polarized – but not in the way Joe said, with good people versus MAGA domestic terrorists. Believe it or not, we actually can still speak to one another, and find common ground. We do it every day – the alternative is indeed civil war, and we are not there yet.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

The IRS released a spending outline on April 6 showing the agency is on pace to hire 87,000 IRS employees over the next decade. Not all of them will be “armed only with calculators.” The $80 billion in funding provides no new protections for taxpayers. Combined with the IRS history of firearms mismanagement and lack of respect for due process, this is cause for concern among law abiding Americans:” – John Kartch  – ANOTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY THAT WILL BE ARMED AND DANGEROUS.

Yellen Threatens China – “Janet Yellen, the American Treasury Secretary, or Finance Minister, took the US hostility and threat against China to a new level in a speech on April 20 at Johns Hopkins University. In a speech laced with colonialist attitudes and arrogance she talked as if the USA was emperor of the world and China was a rebellious vassal, a speech, despite her rhetoric of seeking ‘constructive” economic ties, that can only destroy any chance of that succeeding. To read her speech is to understand the mafia mind set of the American leadership for she spoke as if she were the lieutenant of a mafia don threatening to break someone’s legs for not obeying his criminal demands.” – Christopher Black

Warning: the Financial System is About to Lose Its Last Major Prop – “Japan remains the last central bank that is still easing monetary conditions. The Fed is aggressively tightening monetary conditions. So is the European Central Bank as well as the Bank of England. Only the Bank of Japan remains engaged in Quantitative Easing. With inflation coming in hot in Japan, the Bank of Japan will soon be forced to end its money printing. Which means the financial system would lose its last and final source of excess liquidity. Put another way, the great monetary easing from 2020-2023 would completely over. Every major central bank would be tightening. Liquidity would be exiting the system at an even more rapid clip. What do you think this would do to stocks?” – Graham Summers, MBA

Top Ten Quotes from the NYT Fauci Interview – “Billed as the most in-depth interview yet, the New York Times published a very long piece that contains some rather startling admissions, claims, and defenses from Anthony Fauci, the face of lockdowns and shot mandates. The author and interviewer is David Wallace-Wells, who before (and now after) Covid specialized in writing about climate change, invokes every predictable trope. So there was a sense in which this interview was a lovefest between the two. Still it netted some interesting results. If not for the flu vaccine, what is gain-of-function’s purpose? The creation of bioweapons and vaccines to confound them? The track record of this looks awful. Fauci and his friends keep trying to close the book on the Covid epoch. They have settled on the messaging and are doing everything possible to tie it all up in a bow in hopes that everyone will move on. The mainstream media wants to move on too. Everyone guilty for the wreckage wants to do the same, particularly the elites in every sector that pushed for and celebrated the mass violation of human rights. They are wrong. The book is not closed and will not be until we get honest answers.” – Jeffrey A. Tucker  – GOOD ARTICLE FROM JEFFREY!!!!!

While the ruling Liberal Party claims the bill ‘will not apply to user-generated digital content’, it rejected an amendment that would have explicitly protected individual users and creators.

They know what reducing crime entails. Cops. Law-enforcement. Real prosecutors. White liberals and black activist grifters are the people who come on with “social programs” as remedies. There’s enough aid money floating around in black inner cities right now to build thousands of basketball courts. But that isn’t going to stop drugs and shootings and flash mobs. White liberals never set up town halls for residents of black neighborhoods, where the white people listen to what the LAW-ABIDING black residents really want. The white people just ASSUME. They always assume. They always know best.” – Jon Rappoport  – GOOD ONE FROM JON AS USUAL!!!!!

Fighting Putin for Empire – “Can presidents kill whomever they wish in the name of national security or empire building? In a word: No. But American presidents have had their hearts set on empire building since Thomas Jefferson engineered the Louisiana Purchase. Yet, unlike Wilson or Bush or Biden, Jefferson did so without violence or bloodshed. But the modern American empire builders surely think that they can kill any foe — real or imagined. Bush claimed that he had powers from some source other than the Constitution. And he also claimed he could strip Americans of their natural and constitutional rights — all for empire.” – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

Struck Down, Tucker Will Become More Powerful Than You Can Possibly Imagine – “Though Tucker may have been tossed off his perch at Fox (or jumped – we will eventually get the details on how this denouement went down), he will land on his feet and crush the libs beneath his preppy Topsiders. Fox, on the other hand, will face some challenges. It does not absolutely own the conservatives today, if it ever did. The regime media and the leftists do not understand that a lot of conservatives have been annoyed with Fox for quite a while – these cons think Fox is soft. But that misunderstands what Fox is, or at least what it strives to be. Fox, for its part, has to both be the network that welcomes the 50% of Americans the regime media rejects and also maintain old school journalistic standards. The problem is that the Fox audience has little patience for old school journalistic standards in an age where the rest of the media slanders it as a bunch of racist, sexist monsters who think that only women can get pregnant.” – Kurt Schlichter

Fox News Decision to settle Dominion lawsuit for more than three-quarters of a billion dollars makes no sense – “Something fishy here. First, corporate executives don’t give away $787 million of shareholders’ money without a test of the claim in court. The uncontested amount is so large that one wonders if Fox News itself paid it or whether this almost $800 million was a gift funneled through an uncontested lawsuit to fund Dominion by our ruling elites. Second, it is not defamation to report the news. Tucker Carlson reported the claims of experts. That is news reporting. Dominion’s defamation lawsuit should have been filed against the experts. It wasn’t, because the experts had the evidence. Third, Experts supplied evidence that the Dominion voting machines could be programmed to count votes differently from how the votes were cast; experts supplied evidence that the machines could be hacked; experts supplied evidence that the voting machines were connected to the Internet. Fox News could have called these experts as expert witnesses. By agreeing to settle, Fox News refused the evidence its day in court. Why?” – Paul Craig Roberts

Dominion vs. ‘Russian Collusion’ and ‘Disinformation’ – “Massaging a U.S. election by conspiring to concoct a disinformation campaign must be as actionable as Dominion’s postelection claim of $757 million in damages. That’s exactly what happened in 2016. Fox settled with Dominion reportedly to avoid messy revelations of its internal texts and to stop the hemorrhaging of its brand. But by doing so, the network may have inadvertently set a dubious standard that any speculative opinion, voiced in public media, however nutty and later proven to be inaccurate, will be actionable. If that is the standard, we are going to see a lot more costly lawsuits.” – Victor Davis Hanson  – VICTOR COMES TO PRETTY MUCH THE SAME CONCLUSION AS DR. ROBERTS ABOVE!!!

‘Finish The Job’ Sounds More Like A Threat Than A Promise – “Perhaps Biden thinks he can hide out in his basement again and keep shouting “MAGA extremists!” Maybe he figures that the press will do his campaigning for him (which is a safe bet). Perhaps he and his inner circle hope another pandemic will come along to rescue him. Biden’s best chance, in our view, is that Republicans do what they do best: blow a golden opportunity. Just like they did in the 2022 midterms.” – I & I Editorial Board

BOTH Major Parties Pursuing Lenin’s “Capitalism”-destruction Strategy – ““The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them down between the millstones of taxation and inflation,” goes a line apparently misattributed to Vladimir Lenin. While the quotation is more likely a paraphrase of Lenin by famed economist John Maynard Keynes, it also “seems like a pretty good description of what the Biden administration is doing to America’s middle class,” wrote the New York Post a year ago already. A path of currency destruction is precisely what our government is pursuing. And both major parties are guilty — though perhaps for different reasons.” – Selwyn Duke

“You’ll Be Poor and Like It, Beggar!” – “The Bank of England’s Chief Economist tells the English peasantry they must accept being worse off. es, what Pill is intimating, if not outright commanding, is that while the Bank of England can print up trillions of British Pounds to finance things like lockdowns, the English people must eat the resulting price rises. The British elite love throwing around the term “fair share,” as if they ever take it themselves. No one has ever been able to specifically define what a “fair share” is.” – Sean Ring

Biden threatens North Korea with annihilation – “A nuclear attack by Pyongyang would “result in the end” of Kim Jong-un’s regime, the US president has warned” – RT  – AS I STATED YESTERDAY, BIDEN IS NOW TRYING TO PISS OFF NORTH KOREA  ALONG WITH EVERYBODY ELSE!!!!

Self-identified firearms amateur running Biden’s ATF is at the door – “Thought it couldn’t get worse than David Chipman, the former Gabby Giffords gun control lobbyist who lied about Waco and denigrated firearms owners as lowbrow rubes? Haven’t we learned by now not to underestimate the anti-American agenda of the decaying corpse currently stinking up the Oval Office? Enter Steve Dettelbach, the gun-grabbing Democrat at the helm of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) — he’s insatiable, and your pistol brace is back on the menu — and he’s citing ignorance because after all, he’s an attorney, not a “firearms expert”. ” – Olivia Murray

Where Did All the Biden Illegal Immigrants Go? Hard-Up Sanctuary Cities Are Only Part of the Answer – “No one knows exactly how many people have poured across the southwestern U.S. border since President Biden took office, or where they’ve gone since. The official number of encounters by Customs and Border Patrol stands at 5.2 million people, logged over the last two full federal fiscal years and fiscal 2023 through March. But that number is imprecise because it includes repeat encounters with the same people and omits the many who slipped into the country unnoticed by border agents. Under President Biden, the U.S. smashed past the 200,000 monthly encounters mark for the first time in July 2021 and it has repeatedly topped that record in the months since.” – James Varney

Biden Energy Secretary Wants All US Military Vehicles To Be Electric By 2030 – “As if the US military was not already crippled by woke activism at the highest levels of the Department of Defense, the latest news suggests that the nation’s military vehicle fleet will be hobbled as well. ” – Tyler Durden  – JUST PULL UP THE TANK TO THE CLOSEST CHARGING STATION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT OR JUNGLE OR WHEREVER THEY MAY BE FIGHTING AT!!!

Mr. Lavrov’s New York Shuffle – “Now picture a true gentleman, the foremost diplomat of these troubled times, in total command of the facts and endowed with a delightful sense of humor, taking a perilous walk on the wild side, to quote iconic Lou Reed, and emerging unscathed. In fact, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s New York moment – as in his two interventions before the UN Security Council on April 24 and 25 – performed the diplomatic equivalent of bringing the house down. At least the sections of the house inhabited by the Global South – or Global Majority.” – Pepe Escobar

Pivotal Moment in India-Russia Relations – “Most relationships undergo transition with the passage of time from appreciation of each other to a “state of having,” a desire to possess or even to control the other. But the present pivotal moment in the Russian-Indian relationship shows that an equal relationship does not fall into that trap.” – M. K. Bhadrakumar

ECONOMIC NEWS

More Bank Shenanigans – “Commercial real estate has just as many powerful oligarchs as the tech sector, maybe more. That means everyone is going to be betting on yet another massive bailout of the banking sector. All of this is a good reminder that America stopped being a market economy a long time ago due to the outsized role of banking. When you have control of the global currency, you can conjure money from thin air. When you have that power, you use it to command things of the economy that otherwise would not exist. That means this command economy is going to keep faltering as the people commanding it lose their power to command it to do things it should never have done.”- The Z Man

One Of The Largest Banks In The United States Is On The Verge Of Going Under – “As of March 31st, First Republic had approximately 290 billion dollars in assets, and that makes it much larger than Silicon Valley Bank was when it finally imploded. A 30 billion dollar rescue plan that was hastily put together last month was supposed to stabilize First Republic, but that hasn’t worked. On Tuesday, First Republic shares fell by about 50 percent after the public learned that “customers withdrew more than $100 billion during last month’s crisis”…” – Michael Snyder

So when Warren Buffet speaks on the subject of stocks, it’s a good idea to listen.” – Graham Summers, MBA  – ALTHOUGH NOT ACTUALLY RELATED UNCLE WARREN IS WORTH 100 BILLION AND COUSIN JIMMY IS WORTH A BILLION AND THEY ARE FRIENDS!!!!!!!!

Bed Bath and Beyond Bankruptcy Could Foreshadow Bigger Troubles for Retailers – “Bed Bath and Beyond might be a canary in the coal mine.

Fed Now . . . and What’s Next – “It was just, you know, the “Fed.” That is about to change. Come July, the Fed will involve itself directly in the affairs of Americans, via Fed Now – a chirpily named etiolation of the “Fed’s” manipulation of the nation’s money supply. The object now isn’t manipulation as much as it is habituation. To “federal” control over what you are allowed to buy and sell with the digital money it controls. FedNow is the Beta version of what is meant to become the Fed’s Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). It is just a matter of getting people used to it. As they got used to wearing Face Diapers. To being fondled as a condition of travel. To election months rather than election day. And so many other such things. All in good time, my pretty, the wicked witch says.” – Eric Peters

Defibs in Public Spaces: Predictive Cull the Herd Programming or Benevolent Daddy Gubmint Cares about YOU, Dear Citizen – “Maybe we’ll do Milk Cartons with Abducted Kids next? My gut tells me that this was all mapped out. And putting a bunch of defibs out in public spaces with results or not to stem the incredible tide of public heart attacks or cardiac arrests or commotio cordis or SADS…was not the point. The point was to normalize that your heart is a delicate flower and your gubmint loves you and wants to help when you clutch your chest and fall down in the McDonald’s or airport. But maybe I just see phantoms everywhere.” – Sage Hana

With a COVID vaccine reckoning coming, Canada’s PM Justin Trudeau tries a ‘limited hangout’ – ” It doesn’t take a genius to anticipate that a reckoning is coming for those who hyped the jabs, downplayed alternatives, and even coerced people into receiving the drugs whose long-term side effects are unknown. One non-genius who sees this is Justin Trudeau, Canada’s prime minister.” – Thomas Lifson

Decorated Russian General Says More Advanced Civilizations Are Keeping An Eye on Planet Earth – “If one person is making an extraordinary claim it can be hard to believe. But one of the most intriguing aspects about the UFO phenomenon is the fact that there are literally hundreds of respected high-ranking military/intelligence people from around the world who have made similar claims. What lends even more credibility to these testimonies, beyond the sheer number of them, is the evidence (photos, videos, radar tracking data etc) that’s now accessible within the public domain. What’s questionable, however, is the fact that these testimonies remain mostly unacknowledged within the mainstream. Instead, governments now have a monopoly on information and are primed to explain the phenomenon “officially” to the public. I don’t know where “mainstream” UFO disclosure is going, but it’s concerning that hundreds of high-ranking “whistleblowers” have never ever been acknowledged, nor their stories shared publicly. And it’s concerning that governments and big media have such a strong record of using their influence to shape the perception of the masses with regard to various global phenomena. Why should we believe the topics of UFOs or “UAPs” as they are now termed, will be any different?” – Arjun Walia

Just 3% of Australians Are Aware That the Great Barrier Reef is at a Record High, Survey Finds – “These findings are not a surprise, since the true picture on the reef has been downplayed, even hidden, by mainstream interested parties in the media and in science.

It obviously worked – and is still working.” – Chris Morrison

NEWS

Perception Can Be Reality, and Reality Can Be Perception: So What Is Real? – “I guess this subject boils down to the obvious truth, that one sees what he wants to see, whether or not reality, logic, and conscience, are in direct contradiction to that perception. So long as the compliant dolts of this society believe they are free when they are not, they will take the easy way, accept all government stipends, follow all the ‘rules,’ and pretend that they are happy, because they will not have to make any decision for themselves. Truth and risk, you see, are not accepted by most, and this is a recipe for totalitarian rule to prosper.” – Gary D. Barnett

If You Can’t Beat Him In The Ratings – “s, Tucker Carlson applied to work at the CIA in the 1980s, prior to 9-11, during the Cold War, while a broke newlywed and after dropping out of college. Yes, his father worked for Voice of America and the U.S. information agency during the Cold War. No, Tucker was not hired and never worked at the CIA. If you watched his show over the past five years and still think he’s “a CIA shill” or “controlled opposition” I have just one question for you: Why if he was working for the CIA, and he had the highest-rated cable TV show for three years running, and he was doing his job as “controlled opposition” was his ousting just orchestrated by the…CIA, their election machine front company, and their Mockingbird media allies? No further questions your honor.” – The Good Citizen  – VERY GOOD READ FROM THE GOOD CITIZEN!!!

Fox News: Tucker Carlson – Soros – Dominion – and Abby Grossberg… A Tangled WEB – “In 2022, Rupert Murdoch was considering merging Fox Corporation back to News Corp control. Lachlan wasn’t fond of the idea – so it was dropped in favor of Fox Corp aggressively pursuing mergers and acquisitions. Suddenly, in the midst of the Dominion Lawsuit, Fox decides to settle. A week later, Fox fires two hosts and a producer without warning.” – Helena Glass – HELENA GOES DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE AS WELL!!!

Thank you, Tucker – “He spoke truth to the powerless. The loss of Tucker from Fox News isn’t an extinction-level event; rather, it’s like the death of the last of an endangered species. It’s depressing because you know there’s no replacement. Who else will argue for the poor and middle class from the right, voice such astute skepticism of the intelligence community and the war party, critique elites and politicians on all sides, promote the public good over corporate profits, fight the censors and disinformation experts, show contempt for Anthony Fauci,” – Techno Fog

BBC Musk – “There is a whiff of desperation in the air and it is emanating from the BBC. Following Musk’s take over, the BBC was listed on Twitter as “government funded media.” While this is an accurate description of the BBC, it subsequently appealed to Twitter which agreed to change the description to “publicly funded media.” “Publicly funded” makes the BBC sound a bit more like the commercial or independent media that is voluntarily supported by its audience. But no one funds the BBC voluntarily. Even those who want to fund it are coerced into doing so. The BBC’s need to describe itself as “publicly” funded, intentionally misleads Twitter users. We are simply told that the BBC is trustworthy despite that evidently not being the case. To his credit, Musk had no problem offering a coherent definition of free speech. Providing it stays within the law—doesn’t incite violence or any other crime—he described it well: Musk made the BBC’s James Clayton look particularly silly during their discussion about Clayton’s allegation that “hate speech” had spiked on Twitter since Musk took the reigns.” – Iain Davis  – LENGTHY BUT GOOD ARTICLE ON MUSK, THE BBC, AND FREE SPEECH!!!

How The GOP Will Whiff On The Debt Ceiling Showdown – “There are three long-term budget numbers that tell you all you need to know about why the upcoming debt ceiling battle is likely to result in a big whiff when it comes to ameliorating that nation’s roaring fiscal crisis.

US Presidential Elections Are Children’s Entertainment – “So Democrats mostly don’t want Biden to run again, but he is running again, and also there won’t be any Democratic primary debates while he runs again? That seems even more undemocratic than most US presidential elections. Possible campaign slogans: “Biden 2024: Eh you know you’ll vote for me anyway ya losers.” “Biden 2024: Because fuck you, that’s why.”” – Caitlin Johnstone

Dollar Versus Euro: The Ultimate Winner Will Be Gold – “I’m using organized crime as a metaphor for how things have played out since the gold window closed in 1971. Fiat systems employ shenanigans interfering with natural market forces. Central bank policy allows for fractional reserve banking schemes and has reached the preposterous stage of zero cash reserve requirements. Zero interest rate policy intended to stimulate the economy has reached the point of absurdity. QE infinity (money printing) bailouts and legislation such as the omnibus spending spree and mis-named Inflation Reduction Act debase our currency. The purchasing power of the dollar is 98% less than a century ago. Since money represents your entire life and labor congealed, this theft is scandalous.” – Jon Forrest Little
