UN takes over ‘Global Governance,’ Alex Newman reports firsthand

– UN takes over ‘Global Governance,’ Alex Newman reports firsthand:

The September 22, 2024, UN Press release headlined ominously, “United Nations adopts ground-breaking Pact for the Future to transform global governance.”

The outrageous press release focuses on global governance and touts the UN’s new Pact with all nations, establishing the UN as the governing power in all the major problems afflicting the world. This should undoubtedly end all claims that “global governance” is a “conspiracy theory.”

MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor Sparks Outrage With Crypto Custody Comments

by

– MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor Sparks Outrage With Crypto Custody Comments:

“It’s mostly paranoid crypto anarchists that say that.”

With these eight words, issued on the “Markets with Madison” podcast, Microstrategy CEO Michael Saylor evoked outrage from just about everyone in Bitcoin.

Shinobi called him a “spook.” Carvalho was confused. Svetski claimed this will start the next Fork Wars.

Put simply, Saylor said a bad thing. He broke the taboo.

He said you’re better off trusting your Bitcoin in state custody than holding your own private keys, then went further, calling out all of the businesses engaged in custody projects by calling them effectively bullshit salesmen.

It was, shall we say, a “big oof,” a “footgun,” the scene in the cartoon where the hero gets hit with an anvil.

Here’s Adam Simecka’s clip from the full video:

Yet, paradoxically, I’ll admit, it’s probably the most interesting thing Saylor has ever said?

Pentagon Chief Visits Ukraine, Unveils New Aid Package, Ahead Of US Election

by

– Pentagon Chief Visits Ukraine, Unveils New Aid Package, Ahead Of US Election:

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin arrived in Ukraine’s capital by train on an unannounced visit Monday, at a moment Ukraine’s forces are getting steadily pushed back in the east, and as President Zelensky expresses frustration at the lack of large-scale new military aid.

“It’s been absolutely remarkable that Ukraine has been able to do what it’s done,” Austin told reporters as he went into Ukraine Sunday night. “It’s been able to do that, of course, because of the fact that we have supported them from the very beginning, and we’ve rallied some 50 countries to be a part of that support.”

In Kiev, Austin announced $400 million in new arms for Ukraine but did not acquiesce to the Ukrainians’ main ask – the greenlight to strike Russia with US-supplied weapons.

– These Homeschooling Parents Are Raising Their 6 Kids Without Devices:

Authored by Anna Mason and Daksha Devani via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

Instead of slurping from their cereal bowls and scrolling through their phones, Glade and Bethel Smith’s children start their day by eating breakfast as a family followed by a reading of the Bible.

The Smith kids—Madeline,13, Everett, 11, Annabeth, 10, Vivian, 7, Penelope, 6, and Henry, 3—are eager to read the verses but wait for their turn, after which they clean up the kitchen and get ready to start their day.

“We homeschool our kids,” 41-year-old Glade, from Nebraska, told The Epoch Times. “None of our kids have a phone or any electric devices. None of our kids play video games. [Instead] our kids love to read and love to use their imagination.”

New Israeli Air Raids Unleash Giant Fireballs, Chaos In Beirut

by

– New Israeli Air Raids Unleash Giant Fireballs, Chaos In Beirut:

(1736ET): Before and after midnight (local time), huge Israeli strikes are once again rocking southern Beirut suburbs, with reports of large strikes hitting very near hospitals.

Early videos of some of tonight’s airstrikes show absolutely massive fireballs expanding high over the city, amid another night of panic on the ground, and as hospitals are filling up.

Local media has indicated at least 13 raids in the last hours, and Lebanon’s health ministry said that at least four have been killed in the fresh attacks:

Lebanon’s Health Ministry says one of those killed was a child.

Twenty-four people also were wounded in an initial toll following the Israeli attack near Rafik Hariri Hospital in southern Beirut, the ministry said.

Sahel Hospital in the southern suburbs of Beirut is also being threatened, with Israel’s military claiming that Hezbollah uses the facility to store cash and gold.

Pentagon Pours Cold Water On Zelensky’s Claim Of North Korean Troops In Ukraine

– Pentagon Pours Cold Water On Zelensky’s Claim Of North Korean Troops In Ukraine:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has of late begun pushing hard new accusations that at least 10,000 North Korean troops are being sent to Ukraine where they will fight on behalf of the Russians.

South Korea’s spy agency had also backed Zelensky’s claim, chiming in on Friday to say that at least 1,500 North Korean special forces have already been sent. The spy agency says it has satellite images tracking these movements. But over the weekend the Pentagon refused to back the reports, with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin explaining  that he can’t confirm this narrative.

“I’ve seen those reports in the media. I can’t confirm those reports at this point in time. This is something that we will certainly continue to investigate,” Austin said Sunday.

Catherine Austin Fitts: Gold, Kamala, Trump, Control, Cash, Murder & Water (USAWatchdog Video)

by

– Gold, Kamala, Trump, Control, Cash, Murder & Water – Catherine Austin Fitts:

Catherine Austin Fitts (CAF), Publisher of The Solari Report, financial expert and former Assistant Secretary of Housing (Bush 41 Admin.), gives her take on gold, Kamala, Trump, control, cash, murder and water.  On gold’s rocket rise, CAF says, “Gold is very important.  We divide gold into two positions:  Your ‘core’ position and your ‘investment’ position. . . . Right now, gold looks phenomenally attractive as a core position.  It is also attractive as an investment position.”

Why the big move up now?  CAF says, “Part of it is the incredible monetary policies and the monetary inflation coming from the central banks.  The other is too many people are watching government implode in a variety of different ways, and people are saying I want a core position in gold.  We are also seeing the BRICs . . . and seeing states in the US move to put gold and silver in a position to be used as a currency.  So, we are watching people put monetary reserves in gold and monetary liquidity in gold.  That is happening steadily, and more and more people are saying they need a percentage of their assets in gold. . . . We are in a long-term bull market in gold.”
