The WEF’s War on Rurality – “The war on cars is also a war on anyone who does not live in or very near a city. Such people are “immoral in today’s world,” says Klaus Schwab, the unelected leader of the world, who leads the World Economic Forum. You will own nothing – and be happy. You will also not live in the country. You will own nothing – and be happy. You will also not live in the country. You can “walk or share” (a ride) instead. This of course not being possible outside of or very nearby to urban areas. Presto, a way to make living outside of them very difficult, if not all-but-impossible.” – Eric Peters  – AND THAT IS THEIR STRATEGY TO FORCE EVERYONE INTO SMART CITIES WHERE EVERYTHING YOU DO WILL BE CONTROLLED AND SURVEILED. DON’T THINK FOR A MINUTE GETTING PEOPLE TO BUY EVS IS ABOUT SAVING THE PLANET. BUT THE 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 WILL GO ALONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

‘It’s the most rewarding work we’ve ever done’: Canadian doctor who’s euthanized 400 people proudly shares how she helped kill man deemed incapable of choosing assisted suicide – as another physician says she’s helped 300 die – Ronny Reyes

Canada’s killer doctors love what they do – “Reading how two Canadian doctors revel in the joy of their killing work is absolutely chilling. For over 2,000 years, the Hippocratic Oath guiding doctors has mandated “First do no harm.” What happens, though, when doctors decide that it harms their patients to let them live? Under Canada’s Medical Assistance In Dying (“MAID”) program, which encourages and facilitates patient deaths, it turns out that, the song goes, “It’s murder by numbers, one, two, three, It’s as easy to learn as your ABCs.”” – Andrea Widburg

Insurrection Anybody? – “Insurrections galore spark off all of a sudden and 2023 was just born days ago! Want to know why? Because the business model of the global economy is broken and the supposed remedy for that is centralized control of populations and super-strict regulation of all their activities — that is, techno-tyranny (with Marxist characteristics, as the Chinese like to put it). A large number of people went apeshit in Brazil over the weekend in that country’s weird, geographically isolated capital, Brasilia, a horror of 1960s-style Modernist city planning. They stormed the national congress and trashed the offices within to protest the fishy election of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva over the former incumbent Jair Bolsonaro. The truth is more that Mr. Lula is another Hugo Chavez, poised to wreck Brazil with a fresh attempt at nationalizing all enterprise, ramping up a Marxist police state, and inviting China in to partner-up in the action,” – James Howard Kunstler

Ashli Babbitt murdered, mother arrested, U.S. now a police state – “U.S. Capitol police recently arrested Micki Witthoeft, the mother of Ashli Babbitt, the woman who was fatally shot two years ago by Capitol police officer Michael Byrd during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. On Jan. 6, 2023, the anniversary of Ashli’s death. Yet Byrd, the Capitol police officer who murdered Ashli– a diminutive, unarmed veteran posing no danger to anyone– was never charged, his actions never investigated. Despite the fact that he has a documented history of mishandling firearms. The same police force that murdered her daughter arrested her for jaywalking…on the anniversary of her daughter’s death that she was protesting. If Ashli Babbitt’s mother had donned Atifa attire and burned down a Target, she would have been O.K. This is beyond disgusting, beyond repulsive, beyond sickening. It is sheer in-your-face evil, the state bludgeoning those it rules over because it can—and desires to intimidate anyone thinking of disobeying it in the future.” – Eric Utter

The Letter That Greg Abbott Handed To Biden During Visit To U.S. Border – Daily Wire News

Biden’s New Border Strategy: Blame Republicans First – “Wait a second. Biden was able to get more than $3 trillion in new spending through Congress. He’s pushed the limits of presidential authority to achieve the things he still couldn’t get through Congress. But when it comes to the border, he couldn’t get the $3.5 billion he wanted because of the party that did not control the House or the Senate or the White House? As Biden would say, c’mon man. And that $3.5 billion Biden wanted wouldn’t have gone to border security, but to speed up the process of getting illegals in the country. As the Daily Signal points out, the recent $1.7 trillion “omnibus bill” includes a provision saying that money for the Customs and Border Protection specifically cannot be used “to acquire, maintain, or extend border security technology and capabilities, except for technology and capabilities to improve Border Patrol processing.” The only question we have is are the American people buying any of the excrement Biden is peddling?” – I & I Editorial Board

Biden Leaves El Paso Without Seeing Major Border Damage in Brief Visit – “Although Joe Biden finally visited the southern border after years of criticism, his trip was short and did not take him to any of the most heavily damaged areas, leading to further criticism of empty virtue-signaling without any substantial results. Biden’s visit to El Paso saw him briefly walk along a portion of the border that was already fenced off, then observe a port of entry where border officials searched vehicles for various contraband, such as weapons and drugs. But many critics pointed out that Biden’s visit did not encompass the areas where the worst of the migration crisis are happening, including the areas with no border of any kind, where the worst of the overflows are occurring.” – Eric Lendrum

Absurdity of Reason – “The one thing I know for an absolute fact is that until individuals recognize their power as such, there’s not much chance of survival. What’s left of the American ideal is quickly diminishing. The future is not bright. Gen Z or Y, or wherever that stands now, might as well be called Gen L(ast). There will be no future generations, there won’t be enough children born in a given time frame to comprise of a particular generation per se.This idea of naming generations is corrupt anyway; it’s a means of destroying unity, pitting one against the other; of accusing one or the other of the destruction of the nation; of pointing fingers at anyone but those responsible; the traitors in our own government, our schools, now even our hospitals. The young, virile men and fertile women of the current generation are being killed by the jab at an astonishing rate. Those who aren’t dying are sterile or infertile. Those who were able to conceive have more often than ever, by 1000%, miscarried. The children are being taught in school, in school mind you, to reject their gender and seek acceptance in disfigurement and derangement making them incapable of reproduction.” – T.L. Davis

Seemingly vying for the position of lead propagandist for Big Pharma and the global Deep State is Dr. Peter Hotez, dean for the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston — a scientist enamored with dangerous virus tinkering, censorship and state-directed cyberattacks on civilians, who decries the benefits of whole food and nutrition and is a leading advocate for biomedical tyranny and the murder of independent thinkers” – Dr. Joseph Mercola

We all Secede – “Why is secession considered such an unspeakable thing by so many when it comes to peoples and nations when everyone – literally, everyone – practices it regularly in their own lives? Who hasn’t left a bad job for a better one? Moved to another place? Parted from friends outgrown? Everyone has done at least one of these things. Many have done them all, more than once.

Crisis, what crisis? El Paso clears migrant camps ahead of Biden’s first trip to border on Sunday as frustrated agents say numbers always fall in January and he might as well have gone to Des Moines – “Border agents’ union says Biden will learn little from his three-hour visit. On Tuesday and Wednesday law enforcement teams moved through the downtown area, picking up migrants who had entered the country illegally. As a result, he may get a view of the border but not of the crisis, say infuriated border agents who wanted him to see the scale of the chaos last month.” – Rob Crilly  – MAKE IT LOOK GOOD SO HE CAN SAY WHAT A GREAT JOB HE HAS DONE!!!!

Strange how the media didn’t notice a ‘dysfunctional Congress’ until just now – “As speaker, Nancy Pelosi ran the House of Representatives like a fiefdom, and the media cheered. They marveled at her power. They didn’t operate under regular budget rules with individual appropriation bills. Instead, they had omnibus spending bills stuffed with garbage that have contributed to massive deficits and $32 trillion in debt as they pretended new spending was paid for. The bills were prepared outside the view of most members of Congress, and few read the bills before they were voted on. And that is supposedly what the people should want. Threatening to close the government every few months and cramming down multi-thousand-page spending bills is dysfunctional.” – Jack Hellner

The New McCarthyism – “Expect the changes to the people’s business-as-usual to be mostly cosmetic under Kevin McCarthy’s reign as speaker of the House. “My own take is that McCarthy is an unreliable ally for those on the Right. He was only too happy to shovel billions of your and your children’s money to Ukraine while doing little to secure our southern border. McCarthy is from California, so, naturally, he likes to spend money. – Roger Kimball

Jan 6 Sets the Tone for Discussions in the Heartland – “But the GOP’s House speaker election circus was a close second. Another week has come and gone, making Heartlanders, flyover folks, and those of a conservative mind want to recolonize and start this government over in earnest. Between the ridiculous antics of the House speaker debacle, the commemoration of Jan. 6 2021, and an influx of illegal aliens off the Florida coast, either there is a come to Jesus moment on the horizon or an outright rebellion in the works. When the Silent Majority decides to weigh in, they do so with more of a rebel than with quiet, polite prose.” – Sarah Cowgill

Who Needs Shakespeare When You Have C-SPAN? – “This week’s battle against the fatal inexorability of “Speaker McCarthy” seemed a little different from Swamp business as usual. There was, of course, the very public power struggle between Obstacle and Ambition, which went forward in an unscripted and, especially after the last stand of the House Holdouts, dramatic fashion. But such struggles are not unprecedented. I have turned away from the kabuki antics of the fake branches of government; nevertheless, something captured my attention here. I think was the way in which the visceral nature of this power struggle was elevated by rhetoric of Rep. Matt Gaetz, who really did speak truth to the corrupt power structure, which exists because it is supported, enabled, perpetuated by a uniparty of McCarthy Republicans and Social Democrats alike and vice versa.” – Diana West

Black people are twice as likely as white people to develop Alzheimer’s, and Hispanics are about 1.5 times more likely than whites to get it.

It is being propagandized as yet another ‘variant’ of something that never existed in the first place; something that is now supposedly another even more deadly strain of this imaginary enemy. This is a trick that only a master magician (or psychopath) could accomplish. What is this new and improved, humanity-threatening fantasy, you might ask? It is called, according to the completely controlled fake mainstream media, the more advanced offshoot of one of the claimed ‘variants’ of a non-existent ‘virus’ called ‘covid-19.’ The refreshed version is now named the XBB. 1.5, a supposed sub-variant of the covid-19 omicron variant, attacking mostly the Northeast U.S. Of course it is!” – Gary D.

5 Ways the “Inflation Reduction Act” Is Stealing Your Money – “Much like the Patriot Act had little to do with making life safer in the U.S., the Biden administration’s “Inflation Reduction Act” has very little to do with reducing inflation. Thanks to this “Inflation Reduction Act,” our lives are about to get even more expensive for just about everyone. If you’re saving money for retirement, heating your home or driving a car, well, get ready to start paying higher prices. That’s because of several new taxes that were tucked away in the 274 pages of the Inflation Reduction Act. Those new taxes have become law as of January 1st, 2023.” – Peter Reagan

CBDCs: digital wolves in sheep’s clothing? – “People like to remark that governments foster innovation, especially during wartime. They also like to ignore the slaughter of millions which is usually part of this process. That is not to mention the innovators we missed out on as a result. The latest government “innovation,” which follows in a long tradition of stealing ideas from the private sector designed to improve our lives and using them for other means instead, is central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Designed not to exist in any physical form whatsoever, CBDCs would give their central bank issuers entirely new powers.” – John Butler

THE BIG PICTURE NEWS

Repentance – “The doctors of this country — of all Western Civ, really — owe their citizens an apology and an explanation, and even then, they might not be able to save modern medicine. The doctors have dishonored and disgraced their profession. They promulgated a Covid- 19 vaccination that is now clearly killing a lot of people early in life and unnaturally. To this day, no established professional group of doctors, or formal association, or major journal, has called for an end to the vaxx program. The signal has been clear for the better part of a year. The mRNA products made by Pfizer and Moderna did not stop transmission of Covid-19 and were causing widespread harm. I’ll tell you what will happen: medicine as we’ve known it is going to collapse, along with most other activities in our society. Apart from ethical offenses against the public in the single instance of the Covid-19 emergency, doctors and their administrative cohorts have stealthily surrendered to a racketeering business model that had already badly damaged the practice of medicine before Covid-19 came on the scene.” – James Howard Kunstler

Obedience Culture – “When did Americans become so . . . obedient? That is easy to answer. It became so when they became so reflexively fearful. Of everything. Of anything. That happened a little more than 20 years ago. They were told to freeze in place – some may remember this – and they did. And so it came naturally when they were told to stand six feet apart. They just did it. They were told to spread their legs. Having done that, putting on a “mask” came naturally enough, when they were told to do that, too. They were told the “threat” was “elevated.” The cases! The cases! Panic became the new American drug. Obedience, its hangover.” – Eric Peters

Illinois House passes “assault weapons ban” as gun owners promise lawsuit – “In addition to banning the sale and manufacture of so-called assault weapons, the legislation also mandates that existing owners register their modern sporting rifles with the state of Illinois within 300 days of the law taking effect. In addition, the legislation creates a new ban on “large capacity” magazines that can accept more than ten rounds, expands the state’s “red flag” law, as well as raising the age to obtain a Firearms Owner ID card (a prerequisite for lawfully possessing a firearm in Illinois) from 18 to 21. Republican opponents said the measure is too broad, and bans many firearms commonly used for hunting and sport shooting, and it even takes away the ability of people to protect themselves. “You are turning legal gun owners with this bill into felons,” said State Rep.

Championing the Republican holdouts – “Bad enough the GOPe campaigned against good candidates, bad enough they pulled funding from others, bad enough they have allowed the political imprisonment of J6 protestors to go unchallenged, bad enough they continued to capitulate to the Democrats — but when they allowed the passage of the omnibus bill, tying the hands of the 2023 House of Representatives — they went too far.

Kiev Rejected Russia’s Orthodox Christmas Truce On False Pretexts – “While there’s no doubt that both sides could benefit from a temporary lull in fighting that enables them each to resupply their forces even more during that narrow window, it’s not a game-changer either way since a day and a half doesn’t make any military difference. With this in mind, the question therefore becomes why Kiev didn’t decide to take this mutually beneficial opportunity.” – Andrew Korybko

Indeed, if one reads the corporate war propaganda media, he or she may believe Ukraine is on the verge of a triumphant victory.

Ultra-mega money printing in 2020-21 to counter the effects of government ordered lockdowns resulted in a supply of dollars that was far too great for the economy to absorb. This, along with the shortage of goods and services, also a consequence of government lockdowns, resulted in a situation where too many dollars were chasing too few goods. Paying people not to work with printing press money was a foolish idea. Everyone knew it – or should have known it. Nonetheless, wild theories were concocted to provide the rationale for doing more of it. People that should have known better swallowed the bait hook, line, and sinker.” – MN Gordon

Covid has become a self-driving narrative. It is a self-perpetuating machine, not out of the control of its creators, but currently set to auto-pilot.

A Government That Assaults Liberty – “Here is the backstory. The Fourth Amendment, which requires judicially issued search warrants for all searches and seizures, protects the contents of devices that store data. Thus, the owners of mobile devices and desktop computers have a privacy right in the data they have stored there. Even a narrow interpretation of the amendment, which guarantees privacy in “persons, houses, papers, and effects,” must acknowledge that a computer chip is an “effect” and thus its owner enjoys this protection. It is an allegiance to the plain language, general understanding and definitive judicial interpretations of the Fourth Amendment to which all in government have sworn.” – Andrew P. Napolitano

Damar Hamlin – “Pfizer kills a Black man on live TV and then tells us that we’re not supposed to talk about it. We said it would happen and it happened. Within minutes of the heart attack Pharma used MedTwitter to flood the zone with a lie — that the heart attack was definitely a result of “commotio cordis” — an extremely rare sports injury whereby a kid struck in the chest (usually by a baseball) can experience cardiac arrest. There are all sorts of reasons why this is false. But that did not stop every vaccine injury denialist on Twitter from shouting from the rooftops that the tackle, and not the deadly vaccine, was the culprit.

Government and Corporate Financing to Tackle “Climate Change” Is Rising—and It’s Personal – “While governments issue “carbon credits” to encourage electric car production, financial institutions are launching “carbon credit cards” to help cut CO2 emissions in half by 2030. Indeed, the art of marketing is a precise method of psychological and emotional influence. And it wasn’t long ago that the international lobbying organization, the World Economic Forum (WEF), published an article justifying the necessity of surveilling carbon emissions at a very—very personal level. My. Carbon. That’s right. The “My Carbon” initiative would allow individuals to monitor their own carbon footprint through a “personal allowance program.” Authored by India’s Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs Smart Cities Mission director, the article promotes “inclusivity of citizens” in reducing carbon emissions in metropolitan areas, otherwise known as “sustainable cities.”” – Dear Rest Of America

Friends & Enemies – “One of the truths of democratic politics is that enemies tend to be forever, while friends tend to be temporary. This is something Kevin McCarthy is learning right now. His climb to the speaker’s chair has been sidetracked by a small group of malcontents. They oppose him becoming the next Speaker of the House because they do not like him. More important, they think he is a shameless liar, so they do not trust him” – The Z Man

Who Cares If They Take THIRTY Votes? – “Seriously, why am I supposed to care? The damage was done by the outgoing Senate Republicans who could have blocked the Omnibus spending bill which cannot be repealed as the Senate would have to concur and Biden would have to sign it, and he won’t. Therefore the House has no power of the purse until October 1st. As far as I’m concerned I care not if they accomplish nothing until that day, and that’s because they already gave away their own power — so there is no productive purpose to them being there at all with their so-called “majority” until that bill expires.” – Karl Denninger

You see, the view stateside among experts like Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel is that while China employed “extreme measures” before finally letting up, these measures limited hospitalizations and deaths related to the virus. Can the experts truly be serious? Emanuel is reviving the insulting arguments used by experts and politicians back in March of 2020 in the U.S. The Chinese people, like the American people before them, cannot be trusted with freedom. Emanuel contends that freedom in China “could overwhelm hospitals and could cause a million deaths.”” – John Tamny  – YEP, THE EXPERTS. THIS ONE BEING GOOD OLD RAHM’S OLDER BROTHER!!!!!!!

Gerald Celente’s Shocking Global Predictions For 2023 – King World News

Harry: the prince of self-pity – “The whinging prince doesn’t get enough scrutiny for his attempts to play the victim. It seems that the Oprah interview in 2021 and that six-part Netflix docu-series in 2022 were not enough to get across Harry’s side of the story. So now we have two primetime interviews to look forward to this weekend. Harry’s latest publicity round is a reminder that he is just as prone to oversharing, sulking and self-victimisation as his famously self-obsessed other half. And, arguably, he does not get enough stick for it.” – Fraser Myers

Misunderstanding War, Money and Prosperity – “Describing all the ways experts got it wrong is a thriving cottage industry. Expertise is itself contentious, as conventional expertise legitimized by credentials, prestigious institutional positions, scholarship, prizes, etc. can be wielded to promote the interests of the expert or whomever is funding the expert. Another segment of experts are self-proclaimed, essentially substituting an air of confidence in their own projections for actual expertise. Yet another segment of experts are lightweights with a misleading veneer of legitimacy to cloak their real identity as paid shills for corporations or other self-interested parties. PhD, anyone? Just put that PhD after your name and then pontificate about subjects completely outside your field.” – Charles Hugh Smith

As usual, the BBC and those who buy into its nonstop propaganda are misjudging the Russian people. Indeed, they are “beginning to wake up,” not in response to missteps by Putin and his generals, although there is justifiable anger, but rather that Ukraine is in large part controlled by psychopaths who consider them cockroaches and want nothing more than to kill them. Of course, we can’t expect the BBC, the main propaganda outlet for a nation responsible for blowing up the NordStream pipeline, thus leaving Germans to freeze this winter, to report details on the attack. For warmonger propagandists, the death of hundreds of Russian soldiers, without much detail on the attacks, is enough info for blinkered Brits.” – Kurt Nimmo

Is There A Way To Stop Inflation Without Crushing The Economy And Killing The Dollar? – “One of the most dishonest games being played in economics today is the attempt by various groups (political and financial) to deflect blame for the rise of inflation. The Biden White House and Democrats desperately want to blame Russia and the war in Ukraine, even though inflation was spiking long before the war ever started. The Federal Reserve pretended for years that inflation was not a threat at all despite numerous alternative economists warning what would happen. Now they blame supply chain disruptions instead of their own monetary policies. The GOP wants to blame Biden alone for the crisis while ignoring the dominant role of the Fed in the economy (and their unilateral power) over the course of multiple presidencies.” – Brandon Smith

However, money supply growth tends to begin growing again before the onset of recession.” – Ryan McMaken

But rest assured you’ll be paying for all of these taxes out of your own pocket. That’s because taxes, like shit, always rolls down hill.

The Everything Bubble Has Burst – “So, when the housing bubble burst, all of these assets had to be revalued at much lower values… resulting in the global banking system imploding during the Great Financial Crisis of 2008. What did the Fed do to address this situation? It attempted to corner/ create a bubble in U.S. sovereign bonds, also called Treasuries. Put simply, when the Fed created a bubble in these bonds it was actually creating a bubble in EVERYTHING, because ALL asset classes would eventually be repriced based on Treasuries were doing. This is why I coined the term “the Everything Bubble” in 2014. And that bubble has now burst. The yield on the all-important 10-year U.S. Treasury has broken its 35 year down trend. The era of Serial Bubbles is over. And there is nothing the Fed can do to fix this situation.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Lets say a number of years goes by. Suddenly you need a spare part for “it”. But they don’t make the product any more. Maybe you’ll find that replacement part, maybe you won’t. Okay, granted, respectable companies will keep an inventory of spare parts for older products for a period of time (if they can get them).

Why it isn’t mad to oppose the World Economic Forum – “For many WEF critics, the vileness of the organisation can be encapsulated in one word: ‘neoliberalism.’ It’s a term that conjures up images of plutocrats and untrammelled markets ravaging the planet and exploiting blue-collar folk in the name of profit. Funnily enough, Chairman Schwab agrees with that assessment of the world’s ills. In short, it’s easy to caricature the WEF and Schwab as something akin to Ian Fleming’s fictious Spectre and its criminal-mastermind Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Yet the agenda now being pursued at settings such as Davos is sufficiently alarming that anyone who believes in preserving things like liberty, sovereignty, and the decentralisation of power should be concerned.

This includes out-of-state trucks attempting to deliver – or pick up for delivery – goods in California, which will mean higher costs for the rest of the country as much of what comes into the rest of the country comes through California first, after having arrived via sea at California ports. So, what has just happened – it went into effect yesterday, January 1 – is that California’s bureaucrats, whom no one in the rest of the country voted for or over whom the rest of the country has any electoral control over – have just-like-that assured we’ll all be paying more for what Californians voted for.” – Eric Peters

Adam Kinzinger, the Quintessential American Idiot – “Kinzinger is a “fella.” A card-carrying member of NAFO—the “North American Fella’s Organization,” an internet social media movement dedicated to “countering Russian propaganda and disinformation about the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine”. When seen in this context, Kinzinger’s frat boy style tweet now makes sense—a man-child, posting nonsense for the pleasure of other man-children, about matters they know nothing about. Adam Kinzinger is a NAFO “fella” who, like his fellow “fellas,” serves as an embarrassment to the United States military even though he continues to wear the uniform of a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air National Guard.” – Scott Ritter

Air Base Attacks Deep Inside Russia Point to CIA Covert Ops and a Planned War – “An air base deep in Russian territory has been attacked twice with drones in less than one month. It is not some remote outlying facility either. The air base near the city of Saratov houses nuclear-capable Russian strategic bomber aircraft. Ukrainian forces have not openly claimed responsibility for the attacks but there have been reports in the U.S. media hinting at that. The White House and State Department have both denied any American involvement, claiming that the U.S. has urged Ukraine not to strike Russian territory. “We are not encouraging Ukraine to strike beyond its borders,” said Ned Price, the State Department spokesman. Nevertheless, there is the question of how are drones making their way deep inside Russian territory to launch air strikes on strategic targets.” – Finian Cunningham

Fauci Fibbed on the Day Everything Changed – “Anthony Fauci is finally gone from his government perch. Let us recall that it was he who set this calamity in motion, squandering his credibility, while taking down public health and much else with it. More than anyone, he bears responsibility, even if he was acting on others’ behalf. That is especially true if he was carrying out a hidden agenda (take your pick of theories). These few days will remain a case study in irrationality and crowd madness. Fauci, on the day of his testimony, however, seemed like a paragon of stability. He was calm and clear, nearly bloodness in his tone. The substance of what he said, at the same time, was clearly designed to generate panic and create the conditions for a full lockdown. He had the countenance of a doctor who was telling the family that a beloved father was terminally ill with 30 days to live.” – Jeffrey A. Tucker – WELL SAID, GOOD ARTICLE FROM JEFFREY!!!!!!!!!!

Blackouts for Christmas, a sick grid gift – “Many people got a blackout for Christmas. Or for Christmas Eve Day. Or even worse the Night Before Christmas, when it was zero at my place. But I was lucky as my 8 hour blackout was Friday, so all I lost for Christmas was phone and Internet. But I had already received the four day blackout the Thursday-Sunday a week before. Geez!” – David Wojick

Cover-Up: Slovakia’s ‘Anthony Fauci’ Suddenly Dies of Heart Attack, Media Misleads Public About Cause of Death – “Slovakia’s iteration of Dr. Anthony Fauci and number one Covid vaccine promoter, Doctor Vladimír Krčméry, has suddenly and expectedly died. According to Slovak media, he succumbed to bilateral pneumonia. Meanwhile, the deceased’s family turned to the public and announced that according to the autopsy, the actual cause of death was a heart attack.” – Amy Mek

Guess who gets to pay for Joe Biden’s self-touted lower prescription drug costs? – “While Joe Biden’s out lounging somewhere on St. Croix, whoever it is who’s tweeting for him has kept busy, spinning a narrative about all of Joe’s supposed achievements from his grossly misnamed Inflation Reduction Act… Drugmakers including Pfizer Inc, GlaxoSmithKline PLC, Bristol Myers Squibb, AstraZeneca PLC and Sanofi SA plan to raise prices in the United States on more than 350 unique drugs in early January, according to data analyzed by healthcare research firm 3 Axis Advisors. The increases are expected to come as the pharmaceutical industry prepares for the Biden Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which allows the government’s Medicare health program to negotiate prices directly for some drugs starting in 2026. So while prices for a few select special interests on a few medications are going down, everyone else gets to “pay for” them through price hikes on their own prescriptions. Sure, they may be lower than the overall rate of inflation, but price hikes are higher prices, as if everyone hit by inflation in other things has plenty of cash to spare.” – Monica Showalter

Remembering when gun control was at least remotely rational – “A curious mutation in gun control activism occurred during the last few decades, whence began a fixation on something dubbed the “assault rifle.” Never mind that an assault rifle, insofar as the designation was ever at all valid, had always referenced a weapon with a “select fire” feature allowing three types of operation: semi-automatic, fully-automatic or in three-shot bursts. This doesn’t, of course, describe the class of rifles (e.g., AR-15-style) now targeted, whose operation is semi-automatic only (one bullet released per trigger pull), just like 50 percent of all new guns sold.” – Selwyn Duke

Zelensky’s New Year’s Address Revealed A Lot More Than He Intended – “Zelensky isn’t known for ever saying much of substance, and his New Year’s address wasn’t an exception. It was just one gigantic emotional appeal to Ukrainians that reveals a lot about his side’s insecurities when reading between the lines. “Zelensky is acknowledging that NATO’s proxy war on Russia through his country has indeed led to innumerable “losses for Ukraine, for the whole of Europe, and the whole world” despite trying to attribute them all solely to Russia. –

Whistling Past the Graveyard While Nazi-Infested Ukraine Burns – “Mega-kleptocrat, unindicted war criminal, Nazi-supporting tyrant Zelensky, a US-installed puppet who’s worlds apart from leadership as it should be reveals his delusional state of mind in public remarks. His New Year’s eve address to the nation was the latest example of his detachment from reality. What he called “temporarily occupied land” is sovereign Russian territory with zero chance of returning to Nazified control. US-controlled Ukraine, not Russia, is a “terrorist state.” Its war criminals won’t go unpunished” – Stephen Lendman

Psalm 27:3    Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK ( USED BEFORE )

Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned
Everywhere is war
Me say war

That until there no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man’s skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
Me say war

That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all
Without regard to race
Dis a war

That until that day
The dream of lasting peace
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued
But never attained
Now everywhere is war – war

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
That hold our brothers in Angola
In Mozambique
South Africa
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled
Utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war
Me say war

War in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south
War – war
Rumours of war
And until that day
The African continent
Will not know peace
We Africans will fight – we find it necessary
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory

Of good over evil
Good over evil, yeah
Good over evil
Good over evil, yeah
Good over evil
Good over evil, yeah!

Tiptoe through the missile-toe – “And so most of us are surviving the festive season which for some is more like the festering season. I am writing this as an apology from a Canadian to this world for our shenanigans over the holiday season.The point is as a Canadian I feel duty-bound to apologize. I think specifically to the children for our leaders. They might not be in their right minds. And their script writers are entirely out of their minds by the looks of it. Most of us have long since given up trying to understand “what were they thinking” because there really is no way to weasel into the minds of the ones coming up with these ideas. They simply are outrageous. And the worst part is they had to involve Santa Claus in their Christmas messages. ” – Sylvia Shawcross

The Year of Omicron – “The pre-pandemic world is gone forever. If the past year has taught us nothing else, it has taught us that much. Mass containment has permanently transformed our societies and our cultures. It has cemented the cooperative relationship between the regime and the press, and it has changed the content and the tenor of our media. Drama and panic have always sold newspapers, but our new era is characterised by an unending self-reinforcing cyclone of hyperventilation journalism, the likes of which we’ve never seen before. For the foreseeable future, I think, we will careen from one crisis to the next. The pandemic has also changed politics.” – eugyppius

NEWS

The merging of the Propaganda State and the police state – “News from the mainstream media ignores the rampant crime in cities, social decay, corruption, and economic failure. Government now divides people by race, often citing pervasive racism, though offering little or no evidence to support it beyond propaganda stereotyping police. The Propaganda State needs to constantly fabricate crimes to enhance its power. Propaganda driven by Big Media and Big Tech is the megaphone to promote Big Government disinformation and indoctrination. This is what the Twitter Files exposed clearly. The FBI is used to censor Americans in the name of national security or preventing “misinformation,” using methods of communist dictators Stalin and Mao. We even have a show trial in Pelosi’s sham January 6 “unselect committee.” There is a political pattern to the political show — two fake impeachments with no substance — like the “show trials” of Stalin in the former USSR.” – Henry Pelifian

That peace, equity, justice and the rule of law are virtually banned throughout the West.” – Stephen Lendman

The Russian Regime Change Trap – “Regime change in Russia is all the rage right now. It’s another episode of MI-6’s longest running show, “Russia – Putin’s Fragile Playground,” playing daily in our intelligence co-opted media. If you are confused about what it is these people really believe about where the future of Russia is headed, this recent article at the Hudson Institute – about as normie Neocon an institution as you can get — should clear things up. This article isn’t an opinion piece about potential goals or to be read as a wish-list of crazy people. It is a fervently held set of beliefs that stem from their view of demographic analysis of Russia and their mission to stamp out the remains of the Soviet Union. This is an ideological fight for the neocons. Ending Russia is their religion. It is why they are so easy to manipulate. It makes them the perfect useful idiots in Davos’ larger game.” – Tom Luongo

Biden Reneged – Now Russian Army Will Talk – “A year ago today (on Dec. 30, 2021) U.S. President Joe Biden, in a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, assured him that “Washington had no intention of deploying offensive strike weapons in Ukraine.” Against that backdrop, bilateral talks in Geneva to start on January 9, 2022 seemed off to a promising start. The Kremlin clearly thought so. Then Biden changed his mind. The key issue of offensive missiles on Russia’s borders fell off the table. The rest of 2022 is history, as they say. The complete absence of mutual trust – and the lack of contacts at a political and diplomatic level – has driven U.S.-Russia relations down to a perilously low level. Lavrov again used that curious but important Russian compound word недоговороспособность, denoting Ukraine’s inability to negotiate – at least until Zelensky or a successor gets the okay from Washington. Enter the Russian army.” – Ray McGovern

Mercouris: “Something Big Is On the Way” – ““Strictly speaking, we haven’t started anything yet.” Vladimir Putin. The war in Ukraine is not going to end in a negotiated settlement.

New Year of Forever War – “Forever because there will always be resistance to the neoliberal nightmare.It looks like we are about to enter, or have already entered, the point of no return in the forever war. It’s more than one war, although the big one now is Ukraine. It looks like we are about to enter, or have already entered, the point of no return in the forever war.

Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) PLAGUES Russia, Exhibits Peculiar Symptoms – “Russian leaders keep dying from a peculiar Russian variant of SADS that causes a critical loss of balance near high windows in people close to Putin.

The Top Five Geostrategic Developments In Africa Last Year – “Most of the world was so focused on following the twists and turns of Russia’s special operation in Ukraine that they largely ignored the top five geostrategic developments in Africa last year. The world’s second-largest and -most populous continent was indirectly affected by NATO’s proxy war on Russia through Ukraine, but it also experienced other forms of dynamism that weren’t connected to that conflict.” – Andrew Korybko

The Biggest Economic Threat Today – “The stock market absorbed a vicious whaling today. Yet our central concern is not the stock market.

In 2023 it will be all about the dollar – “In very quiet post-Christmas trading, gold was $1815 in European morning trading, up $22 from last Friday’s close. Over the same timeframe, silver was up 11 cents at $23.82. By the last trading day of 2022, the dollar price of silver had risen 2.6%, while gold had fallen 0.8%. They comfortably outperformed bonds (US 10-year Treasury bond price was down 17.2%) and equity markets (S&P down 20%). With interest rates rising, many investors will be surprised that precious metals have held up so well. Admittedly, gold had fallen by 11% by end-September when bond yields were at their highest, but the falls in bonds and equities were somewhat greater at the same time.” – Alasdair Macleod
