As coronavirus vaccine begins to roll out, FDA seeks to reassure the public on safety – Laurie McGinley

Will You Be a Hazardous to Health Covid Vaccine Guinea Pig? – “US-led Western officials, Pharma, and their press agent media are going all-out to con people into believing hazardous covid vaccines are safe. Will you allow them to risk your health and well-being by being part of a high-risk, uncontrolled experiment that could be adversely life-altering for many participants? All vaccines are hazardous to human health. They take years to develop — around 90% failing to be approved.” – Stephen Lendman

Unlike UK, U.S. FDA Allows Pregnant and Nursing Women to Receive Experimental Pfizer COVID Vaccine – “Both governments have issued guidelines for the new vaccines, one set of guidelines for doctors and healthcare providers who will administer the vaccine, and a shorter set of guidelines for “recipients” who plan on taking the vaccine. Even though these guidelines cover the same vaccine from the same company (Pfizer), there are notable differences.” – Brian Shilhavy

The COVID Vaccine Is Here… And So Are Potential Side Effects… (VIDEO) – “The UK and Russia have begun their mass COVID vaccination campaigns and it won’t be long from now until the experimental shot is deployed in your town. Meanwhile Canada, the US and Mexico are among a growing list of countries who have approved the Pfizer vaccine. In this report, we examine some of the possible adverse events the CDC and FDA will be looking for,” – Spiro Skouras  – SPIRO’S VIDEOS ARE ALWAYS GOOD!!!

When Do We Start Coming out of the Covid-19 Mass Hysteria? – “The Covid-19 hysteria, scientifically called mass psychogenic illness, that began in March has yet to peak. And if some have it their way it will continue indefinitely, merely going, in medical terminology, from epidemic to endemic. That is, it will never fully go away no matter what.” – Michael Fumento

Physician Specialists Urge CDC to Consider A Safe & Powerful Treatment For COVID-19 – Madhava Setty, MD – SOME MORE BACKGROUND INFO ON IVERMECTIN!!!

COVID-19 tyrants now set sights on Christmas – “Watch out. One of Joe Biden’s coronavirus advisory board members told CNN that Americans need to give up their Christmas parties in order to help contain the spread of COVID-19. Who died and made these political hacks the keeper of the constitutional rights?Maybe the pinheads who point fingers at Americans gathering for Christmas ought to turn their pinhead-y chastisements on the Democrats who keep getting outed for doing just what the pinheads say the rest of us can’t. Better yet, maybe these pinheads ought to keep quiet. We know how to wash our hands, Washington. We don’t need more tyrants coming for our rights, for our rights to choose, for our rights to self-regulate and run our own lives — for Christmas, in much the same way they came for Thanksgiving, in much the same way they came for Easter. ” – Cheryl K. Chumley   – GOOD OPINION PIECE FROM CHERYL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Willing Slaves of the Covidian State? – “Ultimately, it comes down to a simple question: Are enough people actually going to get their heads out the sand, switch off the Brainwasher in the corner of their living rooms, and actually start to think critically about what is happening, such that the “reality creators” are held to account and stopped in their tracks? Or are they simply happy to go on accepting those comfortable lies, rejecting the uncomfortable truths, and so find ourselves slipping further into the Land of Unreality, where the Shadows Reign, and where a powerful clique of despicable technocrats run almost every aspect of our lives from the time we wake to the time we go to sleep?” – Rob Slane  – GOOD ARTICLE FROM ROB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hunter Biden Subpoenaed Over Burisma, Two Dozen Other Entities As Part Of Four Investigations – Tyler Durden

This is who they are: What media & Big Tech did with Hunter Biden laptop story isn’t a bug, but a feature – “The legacy and social media uniting to suppress a scandal involving Joe Biden’s son before the US election, and cheering censorship of a newspaper founded by Alexander Hamilton, isn’t hypocrisy; it’s their raison d’etre. Folks who’ve been relying on the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN or NPR, may need catching up at this point, so here’s the short version:” – Nebojsa Malic

Time for Another Absurd Person of the Year Award – “This justification is ridiculous, for Biden is a 50-year politician, who has become a puppet of the far-left. Neither of these partisan Democrats showed any ability to heal America or bridge the political divide. Biden nor Harris expressed any “empathy” for middle-class Americans who are struggling through this epidemic. In fact, Biden and Harris want to extend the COVID-19 lockdown and make economic conditions even more difficult for average Americans. This choice shows the type of arrogance that exists at Time Magazine. Fortunately, Americans are deserting Time Magazine,” – Jeff Crouere

‘Office mates’: Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Jim Biden, Jill Biden — and the Red Chinese? – “With an email surfacing of Hunter Biden asking for keys for his dad and a representative of a red Chinese tycoon in a shared office, the ground gets shakier under House Biden as being so very pure.” – Monica Showalter   

Roaming Charges: Negative Creep – “Under Biden we’re set to experience four years (if he lasts that long) of negative creep, a steady recrudescence of the same policies–economic, social, environmental and military–which led us to into the very quagmire where nearly all of us are now inexorably sinking. Predictably, Biden’s sterile roster of cabinet picks seem geared toward appeasing a mythical political center that no longer exists, if it ever did.” – Jeffrey St. Clair

John Kerry’s Think Tank Calls for War With Russia Over Climate Change – “Recently-appointed Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry has announced his intention of dealing with the pressing issue of global warming as a national security concern. For the ASP, climate change constitutes an “accelerant of instability” and a “threat multiplier” that will “affect the operating environment,” and notes that Kerry will have three priorities in his role as President Biden’s right-hand man. What were those three priorities? Making sure people in the Global South could eat and have access to safe drinking water? Reparations? Disaster relief or response teams? Cutting back on fossil fuel use? Indeed not. For the ASP, the primary objectives were: A huge rebuilding of the United States’ military bases, Countering China in the Pacific, Preparing for a war with Russia in the newly-melted Arctic. ” – Alan Macleod

Trump’s Last Chance to Snub the Deep State – “I am not the only one hoping that Donald Trump will do the right thing with Julian Assange, and Edward Snowden too. The last president, one Trump hates, first put Assange’s key whistleblower in prison, in isolation, under torture. Chelsea Manning was sentenced to 35 years. Obama leaving office with a gesture of “goodwill”, commuted Chelsea’s sentence once she served seven years. She was later jailed for another year for not snitching on Julian. Tulsi Gabbard, the only Democratic presidential candidate in 2020 who wasn’t a war hawk, is asking Trump for goodwill. She tweeted tagging Trump, “Since you’re giving pardons to people, please consider pardoning those who, at great personal sacrifice, exposed the deception and criminality of those in the deep state,” and named Assange and Snowden for him to drop charges.” – Ron Ridenour

The YouTube Ban Is Un-American, Wrong, and Will Backfire – “Silicon Valley couldn’t have designed a better way to further radicalize Trump voters” – Matt Taibbi

How the Supreme Court Doomed the US & the West – Martin Armstrong

Imperialism 2.0: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix – “The new imperialism doesn’t look like old-school ground invasions, it looks like multi-front cold wars, economic warfare, blockades and starvation sanctions, drone strikes, arming proxy militias, CIA-backed coups, sprawling tech surveillance networks, mass psyops of unprecedented sophistication and narrative management systems to facilitate them.We’ve all spent our lives since childhood watching Hollywood movies and TV shows about evil villains doing wicked deeds to try and rule the world yet hardly anyone ever notices that that’s exactly what the US empire is. ” – Caitlin Johnstone  – MORE GOOD OBSERVATIONS FROM CAITLIN!!!

Chinese Military Bases in The Caribbean? – “China also seems to have a military agenda in the Caribbean region… Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe already is on record expressing China’s willingness to deepen military cooperation with Caribbean countries. Of more concern to US security interests is the ongoing seaport expansion project in the already commercially important port at Kingston, Jamaica, as well as the port at Freeport, Bahamas, China’s possible new base of operations 90 miles off the US coast.” – Lawrence A. Franklin

London & Brussels Agree To One Last Round Of Trade Talks As Optimism For A Deal Sours – Tyler Durden

Killer robots will make war worse – “There are no winners when lethal violence is consequence-free. I’ve mentioned Terminator; now I can get on with the article — but it is highly unlikely that future military robots are going to be humanoid-shaped cyborgs. These are only mechanically efficient on rough and broken terrain for one: ‘killer robots’ are far more likely to be drone-like, or tracked (or swarms of both).” – Mike Martin

ECONOMIC NEWS

The Nexus: “COVID-19, Gig Economy or Expendable Employees” – “COVID-19 has created a situation where everyone’s livelihood depends on what regulations the government is going to impose on a given day. One day your employer can function, the next they can’t, because someone above you made a decision without consulting you. All you can do to secure your immediate future is try and work out what the government is going to do next, and show what a good person you are by jumping the right way and applauding it. Your employment rights, history with the company, skills and experience are irrelevant. The gig economy, far from freeing people to dip in and out as needed, is worse than wage slavery. You do not know when or if you are getting paid, or if you even have work, or what rates you will be offered or can charge.” – Seth Ferris

The Weirdest, Most Distorted Economy Ever – “The Fed is not allowing the economy to heal, but instead induces more distortions and weirdness.” – Doug French

The Viral Assault On Small Businesses – “COVID-19 has provided the perfect cover for Schwab’s disciples to assault one of America’s remaining expressions of freedom and independence: small businesses. With lockdowns, politicians get to pick and choose what businesses survive and what businesses don’t. They get to decide who’s essential and who isn’t.” – MN Gordon

Freed by the vaccine? Don’t hold your breath – “The promise of vaccination has been used, not to liberate us, but to keep us locked down for longer.”- Rob Lyons

Fauci: Unless Americans Take The Vaccine, The Masks Need To Stay On – “Says it will be June at the earliest before masks can come off, and ONLY if people take the vaccine.” – Steve Watson  – EVERYTHING I’VE HEARD ABOUT THE VACCINE, IS THAT IT DOESN’T STOP YOU FROM GETTING COVID, JUST LESSENS THE SYMPTONS AND MAY PREVENT HOSPITALIZATIONS; AND YOU COULD STILL SPREAD THE VIRUS. SO BASICALLY, WHAT GOOD IS IT!!!!!!!!!

NHS Commercial Terrifies Children by Showing Santa Dying of COVID – “Viewers accuse health service of politicizing Father Christmas.” – Paul Joseph Watson  – PROPOGANDA STOOPS TO AN ALL TIME LOW TO SCARE THE KIDS. THESE ASSHOLES HAVE NO MORALS!!!!!!

The “Expert Consensus” Also Favored Alcohol Prohibition – “When we look back on American history, Prohibition stands out as one of the craziest social and economic experiments of modern times. We could say the same about lockdowns in 2020. Indeed, measuring the absurdities on a scale of extremism, the idea of lockdowns, with forceful human separation, mandatory masking, and the practical abolition of all large gatherings, fun, art, and travel, seems even more sadistically preposterous than alcohol prohibition.” – Jeffrey A. Tucker

Pharma Controlled FDA Panel Recommends Approval for Controversial Pfizer Covid Vaccine – “Establishment media are at the forefront in promoting potentially hazardous to human health covid vaccines they should be advising caution about instead. Among US major print media, the Times is at the forefront of promoting what no one valuing their health and welfare should permit entering their bodies.” – Stephen Lendman

99% Of U.S. Population Would Not Benefit From Mass Vaccination With Pfizer’s RNA Covid-19 Vaccine – Bill Sardi  – GOOD ARTICLE FROM BILL EXPLAING THE SO-CALLED 95% EFFECTIVENESS OF THE VACCINE!!!!!!!!!!!!

FDA: Death, heart attacks, stroke, blood disorders all possible side effects of COVID vaccine – “A slideshow presentation compiled by the FDA in October contains an extensive list of possible side effects which are to be monitored in conjunction with administering a COVID-19 vaccine.” – Michael Haynes

Coronavirus Scandal Breaking in Merkel’s Germany – The widely-praised German model of the Angela Merkel regime to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic is now engulfed in a series of potentially devastating scandals going to the very heart of the testing and medical advice being used to declare draconian economic shutdowns and next, de facto mandatory vaccinations. The scandals involve a professor at the heart of Merkel’s corona advisory group. The implications go far beyond German borders to the very WHO itself and their global recommendations.”” – F. William Engdahl

How Long Will We Ignore the Truth About Vitamin D? – “According to recent research, 82.2% of COVID-19 patients tested were found to be deficient in vitamin D, and vitamin D status has been shown to influence your risk of testing positive for COVID-19, hospitalization rates and need for intensive care, as well as your risk of dying from the infection. Vitamin D can reduce your risk of COVID-19 and other respiratory infections by reducing the survival and replication of viruses, reducing inflammatory cytokine production, maintaining endothelial integrity and increasing ACE2 concentrations, which helps lower COVID-19 severity.” – Joseph Mercola

DON’T HAVE YOUR SELF A MERRY CHRISTMAS, HEALTH OFFICIALS COMMAND (VIDEO) – Gerald Celente

California is the Grinch killing Christmas, small businesses, and maybe even the Democratic Party – “Governor Gavin Newsom has locked down California as though a tropical storm were about to make landfall. Yet the ‘safety’ measures mostly target the ‘small guy’, and this hypocrisy could be the Democratic Party’s undoing. Residents of America’s largest state once took pride in the maxim that commanded “as goes California, so goes the country.” Today those words sound more like a curse than the promise it once held. Gavin Newsom, resembling a Roman consul drunk on power on the edges of empire, has announced stay-at-home measures that may ultimately prove deadlier than the pandemic it was meant to halt.” – Robert Bridge

Illinois health official warns: Don’t go to grandma’s house for Christmas – ““A negative test isn’t a free pass to visit family,” Ezike said,” – WTVO

Sometimes Life Really is Like a Bad Dream – “If you were President DJ Trump, would you suspect that the CIA might be playing dangerous games with you (and by extension, the nation)? Are you aware that China has a 75 percent investment stake in the holding company that now owns Dominion? Are there grounds to suppose that China somehow interfered in the election? With assistance from an eager Democratic Party and the CIA? Would Mr. Trump, of all people, let such a thing stand? Especially considering the evidence that the putative “winner” of the election, Joe Biden, the kid from Scranton, PA, was up to his eyeballs, with the rest of his family, in Chinese funny-money? (Not to mention money from Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Russia, and other lands?)” – James Howard Kunstler

Is Attorney General Barr a coward? – “Has he sold out? “To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election,” That’s because he isn’t looking. Here are several sites, among hundreds, that carry evidence of vote fraud on a continuing basis:” – Jon Rappoport

Voter Fraud Never Happens! (Except in these 10,000 cases) – Ann Coulter

Is The Globalist “Reset” Failing? The Elites May Have Overplayed Their Hand – “There are two schools of thought in the liberty movement; one suggesting that the globalist agenda is fixed and unstoppable and that the best anyone can do is survive. The second suggests that the reset can be stopped and the globalists can be brought to justice. I stand in both camps. I am seeing some encouraging signs these days that the globalist reset is NOT a sure thing, and those that know my work know I have never been one for misplaced optimism. Specifically, the exploitation of the pandemic response as a means to ram through numerous draconian restrictions does not seem to be going exactly as the elites planned.” – Brandon Smith  – ANOTHER GREAT ARTICLE FROM BRANDON, AS WELL AS THE NEXT ONE!!!!!

If You Thought 2020 Was Bad, Watch What Happens In 2021 – “Ultimately, I believe the public will respond badly to pandemic mandates. Many conservative states and counties will simply refuse to enforce them. However, the question is, will people end up fighting each other and forget all about the globalists that created the problem in the first place? Will mass poverty succeed where the pandemic failed in convincing Americans to give up their liberties in exchange for some stability? Distractions abound, and the reset agenda looms, but I don’t see the globalists coming out of this unscathed. Too many people now know who they are and what they are up to.” – Brandon Smith

Will the Supreme Court’s Conservatives Extinct Themselves? – “So they have a choice: Trump, or risk their own extinction. The first choice looks like the better bet, although one never knows how deeply corruption and cowardice runs in the nation’s capital.” – Robert Gore  – GOOD ANALYSIS FROM ROBERT!!!!!!

Dreaming of a Christmas Without Stuff Nobody Wants or Needs – “Freeing ourselves of unwanted/unneeded gift-giving is not just heresy in a debt-funded consumerist economy–it is tantamount to treason. Future archeologists will marvel not just at the enormous quantity of stuff left by our late-oil-boom frenzy of consumption but by the peculiar concentrations of never-used stuff in closets, basements and strange (possibly religious in nature) immense structures comprised of endless rows of small rooms crammed to the ceiling with stuff without any apparent utility or value. When can we finally admit that Christmas gift-giving no longer serves any purpose other than the purchase of vast quantities of stuff nobody wants or needs?” – Charles Hugh Smith

The National Security Establishment Is In Charge – “The fact is that the national-security establishment, which consists of the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA, has long been in charge of the levers of power within the federal government. Anybody who becomes secretary of defense, military or civilian, is going to be taking orders, not giving them.” – Jacob G. Hornberger

Is Our Second Civil War — also a ‘Forever War’? – “Who was not stunned to learn that as Trump seemed to be pulling ahead in the voting count on Nov. 3, suddenly, around midnight, the vote counting appeared to stop in the crucial swing states, and we were told it would begin again early the next morning? Why the halt?” – Patrick J. Buchanan

The Empire Doubles Down: Open Society Foundations Will Now Be Run by Lord Malloch Brown – “Despite these truths, I must admit that the December 4 announcement of Lord Malloch Brown’s rise to the Presidency of Soros’ Open Society Foundations did surprise me. Knowing that Dominion Voting systems shared its office space with Soros’ Tides Foundation in Toronto Canada was pretty bad. Knowing that Dominion executive Eric Koomer was caught on Soros-connected Antifa organizing zoom calls publicly announcing that he had ensured that Trump would not win was also bad. Seeing the integration of Dominion’s voting systems with a Soros operation known as the Clinton Foundation Delian Project didn’t look good. When it came to Soros/Malloch Brown characters active in Biden’s aspiring administration, we find the likes of Atlantic Council Senior Fellow Peter Neffenger have found themselves enmeshed in the current coup operation serving as U.S. head of Smartmatic. Other Soros-Malloch Brown connected operatives include International Crisis Group member Jake Sullivan as Biden’s pick for National Security Advisor, Neera Tanden (head of the Soros-funded Center for American Progress) who will head the White House Office of Management and Budget, and lest we forget Anthony Blinken – longtime friend of International Crisis Group President Robert Malley and son of Soros confidante Donald Blinken” – Matthew Ehret

Biden’s Likely Domestic Policy Pick Wants Assault Weapon Ban – “So far, he’s made it a point to surround himself with people who are vehemently anti-gun. Now, it looks like his likely pick to head up domestic policy is someone who wants a complete assault weapon ban. Former national security adviser Susan Rice, President-elect Joe Biden’s reported pick to lead the White House Domestic Policy Council, called for a “permanent” ban on so-called assault weapons in a June appearance with two anti-gun groups.” – Tom Knighton

The Deracination of the Western World – “The Western World has entered a Dark Age from which it is unlikely to emerge intact. In Europe nations once based on distinct ethnicity have opened their borders to mass immigration of unassimilable peoples, thus destroying their internal unity. These same nations have also abandoned their sovereignty. The US, EU, and Globalism preside over Europe. The main European countries no longer consist of nation states. In France citizens who complain of the marginalization of the French people in their own country are prosecuted. In Germany they are branded Nazis and subjected to legal threats.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Invasion of the Body Snatchers: Psychological Warfare Disguised as a Pandemic Threat – “It’s like Invasion of the Body Snatchers all over again. The nation is being overtaken by an alien threat that invades bodies, alters minds, and transforms freedom-loving people into a mindless, compliant, conforming mob intolerant of anyone who dares to be different, let alone think for themselves. This is how you persuade a populace to voluntarily march in lockstep with a police state and police themselves (and each other): by ratcheting up the fear-factor, meted out one carefully calibrated crisis at a time, and teaching them to distrust any who diverge from the norm. This is not a new experiment in mind control.” – John W. Whitehead  – EXCELLENT ARTICLE FROM JOHN AS USUAL!!!!!!!

Statistically nobody goes to the hospital and nobody dies. Statistically zero people who are not today infected need to die from this point forward. Zero.

This may seem to be a simplistic analysis, and in many ways it is, but it has served as the most important gauge of the psyche of the average citizen. This gauge has been the basis of many despicable policy decisions made by the rulers and their pawns in government.” – Gary D. Barnett

You’ll Own Nothing and You’ll Be Happy – “Klaus Schwab was born in Nazi Germany in 1938. Little information is available as to his upbringing – i.e., the degree to which he was educated to believe in Nazi doctrine – but whatever he was taught in his youth, he is, today, one of the most ardent believers in, and proponents of, totalitarian rule. Adolf Hitler was proud of saying, “Make the lie big. Keep it simple. Keep saying it and eventually, they will believe it.” And so, we return to our poster boy for totalitarianism: Klaus Schwab. All the social, political and economic problems that presently exist have been caused by political leaders. They are now asking you to trust them to end those problems. The promise is a simple one: You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy. But you’re not required to sign up. All you need do is sit still and accept the transformation to totalitarianism as it plays out. Nothing could be simpler.” – Jeff Thomas – GOOD ARTICLE FROM JEFF!!!

In America Democracy Destroyed Democracy – “Once states rights were overthrown, the other parts of the structure built by the Founding Fathers of the Republic were discarded. Women and people who were not property owners got the vote. The US senate was elected instead of appointed by state legislatures. And today a person does not have to be literate, a citizen, have an ID, or even be alive to vote in the United States. Today all that remains of the Founding Fathers’ electoral structure is the electoral college. We could debate the exact crossover point from republic to democracy, but it is not germane to my point.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Democrats and their media enablers, the fancy-pants, hoity-toity party of grifters – “They consider themselves to be so very much smarter than any Trump supporter.

I can’t believe that they are so naive as to think that somehow things are just magically going to get better after China Joe takes office.” – Ken Jorgustin

Farewell Incredulous Trump: All Hail Belligerent Biden – “In the three weeks since America chose warmonger Joe Biden as our leader, Donald Trump has wasted tens of billions of the taxpayer’s money in his Baby Huey crybaby rant. The nation is more separated than at any time since the American Civil War, and largely because her sitting president cannot even summon the decency to admit defeat. Trump, the spoiled sport who millions tied their hopes to, cannot even manage to finish the job he started in January of 2017.” – Phil Butler  – ALWAYS LIKE TO GIVE ALL SIDES OF THE STORY, PLUS PHIL DOES HAVE MANY GOOD INSIGHTS AT TIMES!!!!

President Biden’s Corruption Already Pervades His Administration – “That didn’t take long. He’s not even in office, and he has already surrounded himself, as the incoming President, with individuals who derive their wealth from (and will be serving) America’s top defense contractors and Wall Street. The likelihood that these Government officials will be biting the hands that feed them is approximately zero. Great investigative journalists have already exposed how corrupt they are. For that to be the case so early (even before taking office) is remarkable, and only a summary of those reports will be provided here, with links to them, all of which reports are themselves linking to the incriminating evidence, so that everything can easily be tracked back to the documentation by the reader here, even before there are any ‘Special Prosecutors’ (as if those were serving anyone other than the opposite Party’s political campaigns, and, ultimately, the opposite Party’s billionaires).” – Eric Zuesse

Biden Picks Raytheon Board Member To Lead The US War Machine – “As has become the standard ritual for Biden’s cabinet picks, the mass media are holding a parade to celebrate the fact that Austin would be the first Black chief of the US war machine while virtually ignoring the murderous agendas he has facilitated throughout his career. And you know what? I say why not. Seriously, why not? Why shouldn’t the head of the US murder machine come from a corporation which has made billions of dollars facilitating war crimes in Yemen? Why shouldn’t the most depraved and bloodthirsty regime on this planet have its depravity and bloodshed advanced by a professional war profiteer? The mass military slaughter of the US and its allies has only ever been about power and profit, so why not be honest about it? Hell, why stop there? Why not make Raytheon itself the Secretary of Defense?” – Caitlin Johnstone

John Lennon Oct 9, 1940 – Dec 8, 1980 – “We can all wonder what he would have done had he lived, whether they would’ve gotten the band back together or whatever. None of that really matters because it’s impossible now. What we do know is a wife lost a husband, two boys lost a father, and the world lost someone who’d provided at least a song or two to the soundtrack of every life that came, or will come, after it. No deranged assassin can take that away.” – Derek Hunter

No One Interested In Trudeau’s “Buyback” Scheme – “Canadia Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took a step that would likely have sparked a civil war here in the United States. He unilaterally banned an entire category of guns with, basically, a stroke of his pen. While Americans would have kicked off the Boogaloo with a stunt like that, Canadians are far more chill about having their rights stripped from them for some reason. Instead, they gripe and resist through the legal system, but they’re not likely to get that rowdy over it. However, it seems that the government that jumped at the chance to strip people of their lawfully-purchased property can’t find anyone to actually create the program to do the stripping.” – Tom Knighton

ECONOMIC NEWS

The Crack-Up is Coming – “Concerns over the effects of the US government’s debt, the precarious American economic condition, and growing resentment of US foreign policy have led to a decline in the dollar’s international value. Eventually, these factors will lead to a rejection of the dollar’s world reserve currency status. Rejection of the dollar’s reserve currency status abroad and the crack-up at home will cause an economic meltdown worse than the Great Depression.” – Ron Paul

How the Covid Response Has DESTROYED the Personal Finances of Americans – “It isn’t so much the virus that has caused our financial woes – it’s the response to the virus. Federal, state, and local governments have deemed what businesses are allowed to operate and how they must do so. This has resulted in the loss of businesses themselves, loss of sales, and loss of jobs. Nearly every family is feeling the effects to some degree.” – Daisy Luther

Covid vaccine cards are a reminder for the 2nd shot, not a passport – “The cards are part of vaccination kits developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Defense and Operation Warp Speed.” – Akshay Syal  – RIGHT, AND I’VE GOT SOME OCEAN FRONT PROPERTY IN ARIZONA!!!!!!!

Medical Martial Law Is Coming in Many Sinister Forms – “Once again, the writing is on the wall and is being admitted in plain sight for all to see. Ignoring this agenda telegraphing is tantamount to assisted suicide. This was reported at Zero Hedge on Wednesday as the Department of Defense released the first images of a Covid-19 vaccination record as well as vaccination kits, this a step toward medical martial law. Everything is being ramped up, and more restrictions are coming. It is my opinion that a ‘big’ staged event is coming this month that will be used to catapult this fake pandemic conspiracy. Los Angeles has already locked down 27 million residents, and this kind of insanity will come to your town or city soon.” – Gary D. Barnett

WHO looks at giving Covid-19 to healthy people to speed up vaccine trials – “Advisory meeting will discuss feasibility of human challenge trials despite first jabs becoming available” – Natalie Grover  – THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD ANYTHING MORE REDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Covid-19 Vaccination The Big Ifs – “What if thousands of healthcare workers are vaccinated first and have side effects and are in sick bay all at the same time. It could be a catastrophe.” – Bill Sardi

The China lockdown, Sun Tzu, and the Art of War – “To begin: The Chinese regime’s model of absolute control over its population is fully in line with Rockefeller-type Globalists’ model of control for all of Earth. But the Beijing regime prefers to extend its own formidable Empire. It will cooperate with Globalist elites on certain operations, but only because the benefits accrue to China.” – Jon Rappoport

Big Lies About Covid and PCR Tests – “Made-in-the-USA covid is a scam. It’s a diabolical deep state plot. By inventing a fake covid threat, dark forces instituted harmful to public health and welfare draconian conditions. They engineered economic collapse to enrich privileged interests — the greatest wealth transference scheme in US history. At the expense of ordinary Americans, it caused unprecedented human misery from mass unemployment, food insecurity and hunger, growing poverty, widespread deprivation and despair — with no end of it in prospect. The worst of what’s going on likely lies ahead. Media disinformation is part of the plot. Corporate giants control conventional and social media.” – Stephen Lendman

Scaring Ourselves to Death – “People thinking that, regardless of age, they are liable to die if they get Covid, leads to panic if they become ill or get a positive test. In turn, panic likely leads to some unnecessary Covid deaths among all age groups, accelerates the death rate in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities, and fuels chronic or ‘long-haul’ coronavirus illness. We need to turn down the fear.” – Keith Gandal

COVID Lockdowns: Science, Incompetence, Or Tyranny? – “Lockdowns are based on scientific consensus, they say, but local government policies demonstrate just the opposite.” – Jose Backer

Further lockdown restrictions introduced in 38 Danish municipalities to combat Covid-19 – RT

$218 MILLION Paid Out for Vaccine Injuries and Deaths in 2020 for FDA Approved Vaccines (NOT Fast-tracked) – “The $218 MILLION paid out for vaccine injuries and deaths this year was NOT paid by the pharmaceutical manufacturers. It is funded from taxes paid on each vaccine, and as of September 30, 2020, that fund had a balance of over $4 BILLION . The other thing to understand is that these funds are paid on vaccines that have gone through the FDA full approval process, not fast-tracked vaccines approved for emergency use. It typically takes 5 to 7 years to bring a new vaccine to market. So none of these funds will be available to anyone who suffers injuries or dies due to the FDA fast-tracked for emergency use authorization (EUA) experimental COVID19 mRNA vaccine.” – Brian Shilhavy

NEWS

A Resolving Picture – “Much as Chief Justice John Roberts would like to be the finger down the Deep State’s throat to trigger the up-chucking of Mr. Trump from the nation’s gullet, it looks like he won’t get his chance in the new 6-3 disposition of the US Supreme Court. So far, it is Justice Samuel Alito in the lead, preparing a landing zone for the President’s case against the state of Pennsylvania in its shabby-ass attempt to stuff its ballot boxes with iffy mail-in votes. I believe that case is going to be heard, and Justice Robert’s position will be moot. The problem over in PA is that its Act 77 bill passed before the election by the state legislature to expand absentee balloting (i.e., mail-in voting) did not comply with the PA state constitution, and required a constitutional amendment, which never happened. Could be pretty cut-and-dried.” – James Howard Kunstler

Where’s the Kraken? Where’s the Storm? – “When Attorney Sidney Powell a few weeks ago said, “Release the Kraken,” it wasn’t clear if she was referring to the mythical creature with multiple arms and heads or a secret military counterintelligence unit that may have real time evidence of electoral fraud. Either way it hinted at big things ahead. Before the Kraken it was “The Storm.” We have been in the “calm before the storm” for most of President Trump’s first term. We are told “pain is coming” and that “it will be Biblical.” The only pain is waiting in anticipation for the pony under the Christmas tree that never seems to arrive.” – Brian C. Joondeph

No, The Georgia Vote-Counting Video Was Not ‘Debunked.’ Not Even Close – “A Big Tech-backed ‘fact’ ‘checking’ outfit claimed to debunk explosive evidence for Republicans’ claims of significant election problems in Georgia. It didn’t.” – Mollie Hemingway

The Past Lives On: The Elite Strategy To Divide and Conquer – “If the Democrats and the Republicans are at war as is often claimed, it is only over who gets the larger part of the spoils. Trump and Biden work for the same bosses, those I call the Umbrella People (those who own and run the country through their intelligence/military/media operatives), who produce and direct the movie that keeps so many Americans on the edge of their seats in the hope that their chosen good guy wins in the end. Trump is simply a crazy aberration who somehow slipped through the net of establishment control to rule for four years.” – Edward Curtin  – GOOD ARTICLE FROM EDWARD!!!!!!!

After the Deep State Sabotaged His Presidential Bid, Bernie Sanders Mocks Those Who Believe it Exists – “Also ridiculing “rigged elections” and “fake news” — two other weapons used on him — the Vermont Senator’s relationship to the Democratic Party descends from loyal support to abject subservience.” – Glenn Greenwald

An overflowing toilet of corruption: Biden picks Xavier Becerra as his health chief – “Joe Biden surrounds himself with men as ethically malleable as himself. Of all the Democrats out there, why would Joe Biden pick Xavier Becerra, a former congressman and California state attorney general to be his secretary of Health and Human Services? Like Hunter Biden, Becerra has zero experience, in his case with health and welfare issues, having focused on trade, immigration, and law enforcement while in his well-padded government jobs. He’s very adept at corruption, though, with scandals everywhere he ever went.” – Monica Showalter

Press Secretary Jen Psaki Will Help Joe Biden Lie To America – “Obama veteran Jennifer Psaki claims she’ll bring honesty back to the White House, but she helped orchestrate the fake news behind the Iran nuclear deal ‘echo chamber.’” – Jonathan S. Tobin

DECEITFUL: NBC Edits Video of Restaurant Owner Exposing NBC Comedy’s Catering – “Over the weekend, a video of Angela Marsden, the owner of the Pineapple Hill Saloon & Grill of Los Angeles, protesting the city shutting down outdoor dining with no scientific basis went viral. Only part of Marsden’s comments made it onto NBC’s Sunday Today. But reporter Meagan Fitzgerald deceptively edited out Marsden pointing to the hypocrisy with the tents and tables. Worse yet, NBC covered up the fact that the catering was for NBC’s comedy show, Good Girls” -Nicholas Fondacaro

John Brennan on Fox News Sunday blatantly lies to Chris Wallace, who doesn’t call him out – ” Two vomit-inducing phonies” – Thomas Lifson

RULES ARE FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE – “Every day, it seems, we see another story about governors and mayors (all of them Democrats, seemingly) who impose orders on the rest of us and then break them themselves.” – John Hinderaker

Pearl Harbor: An Orchestrated Event? – “Washington needed scapegoats, and Admiral Husband Kimmel and General Walter Short were saddled with the blame for American unpreparedness for the Pearl Harbor attack. As time passed circumstantial evidence came to light that President Roosevelt knew of the attack and permitted the devastation in order that the American people would be so outraged by the attack as to give up their resistance to being dragged into another European war. The controversy continued for some years. I am unsure that it was ever resolved” – Paul Craig Roberts

95% Vaccine Efficacy? Not So Fast – “The way the companies report their efficacy may be normal in their circles, but will, in the “normal” world, be experienced as confusing if not outright misleading.” – Raúl Ilargi Meijer

For The First Time, A US State Will Require Disclosure Of PCR ‘Cycle Threshold’ Data In COVID Tests – “Numerous epidemiological experts have argued that cycle thresholds are an important metric by which patients, the public, and policymakers can make more informed decisions about how infectious and/or sick an individual with a positive COVID-19 test might be. However, as JustTheNews reports, health departments across the country are failing to collect that data. So, in summary, with regard to our current “casedemic”, positive tests as they are counted today do not indicate a “case” of anything. They indicate that viral RNA was found in a nasal swab. It may be enough to make you sick, but according to the New York Times and their experts, probably won’t. And certainly not sufficient replication of the virus to make anyone else sick. But you will be sent home for ten days anyway, even if you never have a sniffle. And this is the number the media breathlessly reports… and is used to fearmonger mask mandates and lockdowns nationwide… All of which is background for an intriguing decision made by Florida’s Department of Health (and signed off on by Florida’s Republican Governor Ron deSantis). For the first time in the history of the pandemic, a state will require that all labs in the state report the critical “cycle threshold” level of every COVID-19 test they perform.” – Tyler Durden  – GOOD FOR FLORIDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Black Folks Aren’t Too Keen On The Coronavirus Vaccine – “Another study conducted by the COVID Collaborative, the NAACP, and UnidosUS found that only 14% of black Americans believe that a vaccine would be safe. Only 18% trust that it will even be effective.” – Jeff Charles

Canceling Christmas: The COVID Straw to Break the Camel’s Back? – “”Christmas is going to be a lot harder,” Joe Biden told an audience recently. Speak for yourself, Joe. The purpose of Biden’s statements was clearly to scare people into canceling their holiday travel plans and embracing lockdowns, making his opening disclaimer a complete lie. He certainly aims to provoke panic, but any reasonable person knows that this particular prediction is a desperate attempt at fear-mongering.” – William Sullivan

Tens of millions in California under stay-at-home order starting Sunday night – “” – Paul Vercammen and Jon Passantino  – STAY AT HOME. YOU MUST OBEY FUHRER NEWSOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vaccine Tyranny – “While you were busy eating your Thanksgiving dinner, you probably were not paying much attention to the Danish government’s attempt to enact the ‘Epidemic Law’ which is a law in Denmark that would have given authorities the power to enforce rigid quarantines and, more importantly, mandate police enforced vaccination against coronavirus as well as ‘detainment’ if people refused. The result of this mandate was exactly what should happen in a society when the government oversteps its bounds. The Danes took to the streets and nine days of public protests ensued. For years, the “left” spouted the slogan ‘my body, my choice’ but rest assured that this does not apply to either masks or vaccines. Suddenly, their collectivist mentality at the expense of liberty becomes irrefutable. The next time this issue is discussed in the media, listen for the code words which lift the veil as to what is really being prepared. You will be told you need to acquiesce for the ‘common good’ or ‘for the comfort and safety of others’. No doubt, someone reading this in the United States is thinking ‘certainly this cannot happen here’. Think again… you are being naive. It is already happening and if there were to be a Biden or Harris Administration, this will escalate at a speed which will horrify you while your civil liberties evaporate before your eyes.” – James Bauman

We Know the COVID-19 Vaccine Is Safe Because It’s Called a Vaccine – “Vaccines are safe. All of them.Long-term trials are for pussies. And science-deniers. 2019: Vaccines are safe because they’re so thoroughly tested for short-term and long-term side effects alike. So if you’re declining an approved and tried-and-true jab you’re just being irrational and superstitious. 2020: Here is the first-ever vaccine of its kind (mRNA) that is essentially untested and was rolled out in all of 6 months with no chance to study long-term side effects whatsoever, but it’s safe because it’s called a vaccine and other vaccines that are approved after extensive long-term trials that this vaccine did nor receive are safe. ” – Marko Marjanović

Not only one camera either — four. Standard security setup; covers the entire room. It’s like watching Joe Thug rob a bank in high-rise color video and then having him try to tell the jury he didn’t do it. Anyone who doesn’t immediately throw a flag on the election in light of that which we were repeatedly told did not happen and then just witnessed on video is a flat-out 5-alarm psychotic mess.” – Karl Denninger

Continued NYT Coverup and Denial of Rigged US Election 2020 – “There’s no ambiguity about Election 2020 rigging for Biden/Harris over Trump. Yet the Times and other establishment media pretend otherwise. Their reports willfully and maliciously lie to the public. They can never be relied on to report accurately on cutting-edge domestic and geopolitical issues mattering most. US Election 2020 was stolen.” – Stephen Lendman

Biden’s All-Female Press Team? Yawn. – “President Donald Trump apparently prefers spokeswomen. He chose Sarah Sanders to follow Sean Spicer’s short tenure, and then Stephanie Grisham, who never gave a briefing, and then current Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany. So having Jen Psaki as Biden press secretary and Kate Bedingfield as communications director is hardly groundbreaking.” – Debra J. Saunders

Trump Will Win in Supreme Court (VIDEO) with Gerald Celente – “Fighting is exactly what team Trump is doing now. Does Celente still stand by his prediction? Celente says, “Yes, I do. When we made the forecast, we said election night will be too close to call, and he will win. . . .They knew they were not going to win. So, they started putting out all this information that Trump didn’t have a chance. Then, you are seeing the election is too close to call, and all of a sudden it’s called two or three days later? And who called it? Oh, the AP (Associated Press). Who the hell are you to call it? Who the hell are you one of you little press-titutes to call the election and everybody accepts it? This election wasn’t called by anybody but the media, the same media that had Trump losing by 10%. . . . I think this will ultimately be decided in the Supreme Court.” – Greg Hunter

On The Election And Destroying America: Why Exactly Would The Deep State Globalists Let The Cat Out Of The Bag Again? – “At the risk of pointing out the obvious, I’d like to point out the obvious. Let me begin with a simple question: If there really is a “Deep State coup against Trump”, then wouldn’t the Deep State have gotten Trump already? I mean, four stinkin’ years, and nothing but failure after failure after failure after failure? Let’s get real here: If the Deep State Globalists want a person, any person, they get that person. Period. That is to say, if the Deep State Globalists really wanted Trump out, it would not have taken days or weeks, and it certainly would not have taken many months or several years. Are the Deep State Globalists really going to let the cat out of the bag? Of course not! The Deep State Globalists tied the freakin’ bag to an anchor and dropped that sucker from a helicopter into the ocean 100 miles offshore. And it’s not like “Team Trump” is not part of the ongoing operation. Or does Giuliani all of the sudden get a free pass? Bill Barr? Gimme a break!

Easier to go on vacation or buy a nicer car. Those who do save anything have to take risks for which they may not be prepared. We know how that usually ends. So over time, a growing number of people reach middle age or retirement age with little or no savings (and often a lot of debt) and find the kind of lifestyle they were told to expect isn’t possible.

Deflation Doesn’t Undo the Problems Caused by Past Inflation – Frank Shostak

Janet Yellen: Too Dumb To Stop – “After all these years Yellen still thinks she knows best. That she’s the true arbiter of morality. Guided by silly academic models she thinks she’s helping people when she’s really hurting them. Fiscal and monetary policies over the last 40 years have been characterized by increasing and extreme intervention. Over this period Yellen and other central planners have pursued inflationism as a means to perpetually stimulate demand. The Fed creates the illegal money. The Treasury authorizes it. And the economy adjusts accordingly. Business transactions are made with the illegal money. Private and public buying and selling is conducted with it. All commerce is settled with it.” – MN Gordon

And the BY duo will be the perfect team to lead the US economy and the rest of the world into perdition. Biden is already an experienced player in deficit spending and massive debt accumulation. And Yellen was there for part of the time printing whatever was required.” – Egon von Greyerz

NEWS (VIRUS EDITION )

Obama would take the COVID vaccine on live television if Fauci assured him it was safe – “There’s no risk here, because if doctors have any sense, they’ll make sure Obama is jabbed with a shot of saltwater, a placebo, masquerading as the real thing. The real thing, the RNA COVID vaccine, poses all sorts of dangers. No RNA technology for a drug or vaccine has ever been approved for public use.” – Jon Rappoport  – GREAT POINT FROM JON ON THE PLACEBO ANGLE!!!!!!!

Jab Me if You Can: How Political Endorsements Defeat Vaccinations – “Enlisting politicians and leaders into the role of product promotion, especially in the field of vaccines, is goggling in its daftness. In the United States, the brand label of the presidential endorsement is hardly glorious.” – Dr. Binoy Kampmark

Down with the New Normal Who wants to live in a nerdy world of no handshakes and no big sweaty crowds?” – Brendan O”Neill

Coronavirus vaccine: Pfizer given protection from legal action by UK government – “Pfizer’s UK boss refuses to explain why the business needs protection from legal action” – Shaun Lintern  – NO NEED TO EXPLAIN, THEY KNOW WHAT THEY WILL BE INJECTING INTO PEOPLE AND THEY DON’T WANT TO BE SUED FOR THE GARBAGE THEY WILL BE PUTTING INTO EVERYONE’S SYSTEM!!!

About Those Vaccine ID Cards… – “Authorities around the world have made it clear that they will do “whatever it takes” to vaccinate their citizenry with one of the first available vaccines. Authoritarian states may mandate universal vaccinations while less authoritarian states will favor a “carrot and stick” approach of offering benefits to the vaccinated and exclusions from employment, education, travel and most of everyday life for those who refuse to be vaccinated. To identify the vaccinated and unvaccinated, many nations are planning to issue ID cards or “vaccine passports.” As an abstraction, this seems straightforward, but if we start digging into the actual operational requirements of this mass ID card issuance and distribution, a number of common-sense issues arise.” Charles Hugh Smith

The Global Guinea Pig: Airlines to Discriminate Based on Your Medical Status – Micha Gartz

Asymptomatic People Do Not Spread COVID-19 – “A study looking at PCR test data from nearly 10 million residents has found not a single one of those who had been in close contact with an asymptomatic individual tested positive. So why are authorities making fear run rampant by testing people who aren’t sick?” – Dr. Joseph Mercola

Facebook Bans Anti-Vaccine “Conspiracy Theories” As US Rollout Begins – “It was probably inevitable. Just in time for the vaccine rollout in the US this coming week (as Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel said, inventory has already been loaded on to trucks, and will be en route to destinations across the country as soon as the FDA gives the green light) Facebook said Thursday that it’s “updating its policies around the coronavirus by removing false claims about upcoming vaccines”. The social media giant said it will be monitoring for misinformation that has been debunked by public health experts on both Facebook and Instagram.” – Tyler Durden  – MORE NARRATIVE CONTROL!!!!

Canada’s COVID-19 Strategy is an Assault on the Working Class – Dr Sunetra Gupta and Dr. Martin Kulldorff

UK Government Voids Quarantine Requirements for “High Value” Travellers – “One set of rules for your corporate and celebrity Lords, another for the disease-spreading peasants” – Marko Marjanović

Are PCR Tests Secret Vaccines? – “Concern is growing that an innovative nanotech device developed at Johns Hopkins University may be used to secretly deliver the COVID19 vaccine to those people who are “vaccine hesitant.” Certainly, the technology is real, but is their any merit to such a claim?” – John O’Sullivan  – INTERESTING THEORY!!!!

Have A Positive Covid Test Result? – “Be sure to ask this question.” – Chris Martenson

NEWS

A Hall of Smoke and Mirrors – “If the drawn-out election melodrama were a movie, think: Seven Days in May meets Six Days in October meet Burn After Reading. You get a nice serving of treason in high places with a side-dish of Cuban Missile Crisis end-of-the-world existential angst, and for dessert, a comic fiasco of bumbling government depravity as served up by the Coen Brothers. The Democrats, you understand, are the party of chaos, yet President Trump’s attempt to impose order on the scene has the quality of clown car driving to put out a fire. It’s almost impossible to see through the smoke-and-mirrors of all news media. The captive Left media won’t cover, or even pursue, legitimate news stories that counter its precooked, self-serving narratives, while much of the alt.news on the Right seems to emanate from TinFoilHatLand. Fact and emotion corrupt each other until truth itself is cancelled, disgraced, and deplatformed. Meanwhile, authority hides offstage wringing its hands, affecting powerless impartiality.” – James Howard Kunstler  – ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM MR. KUNSTLER!!!

Georgia Gov. Kemp Calls For Signature Audit Following CCTV Footage Of Late-Night Ballot Malarkey – “CCTV footage of Georgia poll workers waiting for observers and news outlets to leave State Farm Arena in Atlanta after calling an end to counting for the night, before pulling out several large suitcases containing ballots from under a table.” – Tyler Durden

The Stench of Bipartisan Cooperation on the Potomac – “Well, here is a picture worth a thousand words. Featured front and center is Mr. Crony Capitalist Never Trumper, Mitt Romney, explaining how another $908 billion of Everything Bailouts – on top of the $3.5 trillion that have gone before – is just the thing to do.” – David Stockman

These Hypocritical Government Officials Want YOU to Stay Home While THEY Go Out and Party – Daisy Luther

“Extremism” as a Ticket to Tyrannize – ““Extremists” are one of the famous bogeymen that American politicians invoke to sanctify their own power. But the definition of “extremism” has forever been in flux. The only consistent element in definitions of extremism is that politicians always win.” – James Bovard

Ignoring the War Risks of Red Lines – “When America did nothing after Obama’s red line was crossed, U.S. credibility suffered. Of late, Joe Biden and Donald Trump’s foreign policy team have both been drawing red lines and warning Iran and China not to cross them or they’d face U.S. military action, even at risk of a wider war.” – Patrick J. Buchanan

Don’t Trust the News: Matt Taibbi on Media’s Failure (VIDEO) – “If you feel you can’t trust the news anymore, you have good reason. Award-winning — and newly independent — journalist Matt Taibbi (of “vampire squid” fame) returns to Peak Prosperity to break down for us how the news media industry became corrupted by the profit motive and now intentionally produces content to “entertain” rather than “inform”. The five media behemoths who own more than 90% of all US media outlets (Comcast, Viacom, Disney, Time Warner, Newscorp) have discovered that its much more profitable to focus on discrete audience segments and give them the information they want to hear. Which is why the former approach of “just the facts” reporting to a general audience has practically disappeared. There’s less money in it.” – Peak Prosperity

Tips For Building A Proper Smokehouse – “Once upon a time, every home had a smokehouse out back. Before refrigeration, smoke curing was the only way to safely preserve meat. Besides making the meat last longer, the time it spent inside the smokehouse gave it an extremely pleasing flavor.” – Rhonda Owen

OCC Says JPMorgan Chase Has $29.1 Trillion of Custody Assets; That’s $8 Trillion More than the Assets of All Banks in the U.S. – “JPMorgan Chase is the largest bank in the United States. To put the $29.1 trillion into even sharper focus, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., according to the FDIC, has a total of just $2.87 trillion of its own assets. But, somehow, it has managed to attract more than 10 times its own assets on a custodian basis. If the idea of numbered Swiss bank accounts is floating around in your brain right now, you can be forgiven.” – Pam Martens and Russ Martens

EU Banking System Imploding (VIDEO) with Alasdair Macleod – “The banks are bust in the Eurozone, and it’s only a matter of time. He is concerned about the possibility of Central Bank digital currencies and the potential loss of freedom. Central Banks hide what inflation is by relying on some metrics they control. This way, they can inflate the money supply as they wish. They are just impoverishing everyone who is not in government. At some point, they will be forced to back their currencies with gold, or they will become worthless. Any government that relies on printing money to finance it’s deficits will destroy it’s currency.” – Palisades Gold Radio

Why Hasn’t Our Politics Affected Precious Metals? – J. Johnson
