Brace Yourself For Extreme Economic Turbulence

Brace Yourself For Extreme Economic Turbulence:

Why is the U.S. economy suddenly deteriorating so rapidly all around us?  Well, the short answer is that this downturn is way overdue.  For years, our leaders tried to cheat the laws of economics.  The Federal Reserve pushed interest rates all the way to the floor, which is something that never would happen in a true free market economy, and they pumped trillions of fresh dollars that they literally created out of thin air into the financial system.  Meanwhile, our politicians in Washington were engaging in the greatest debt binge that the world has ever seen.  All of this reckless manipulation seemed to work for a while, but many of us warned that it would inevitably create a major inflation crisis, and that is precisely what happened.  So now the Fed is aggressively hiking interest rates in a desperate attempt to tame the inflation monster that they helped to create, and higher rates are absolutely crushing economic activity.

At this point, most Americans understand that something has seriously gone wrong, and this is pushing consumer confidence lower.

On Tuesday, we learned that consumer confidence has now fallen for two straight months to start 2023…

“Yankee Tax” Proposed By South Carolina Lawmaker

“Yankee Tax” Proposed By South Carolina Lawmaker:

A South Carolina state Senator wants to hit new residents with a $500 “Yankee Tax” for moving to the Palmetto state.

The bill, proposed by Sen. Stephen Goldfinch (R), would require those moving to South Carolina from out-of-state to pay two one-time fees; $250 for vehicle registrations and $250 for a new driver’s license. Half of the new fee would go toward the state’s infrastructure – including roads, bridges and common community areas, according to Fox Business.

“I’m not trying to build a wall and this is not a fee against new residents, it’s a fee for people to catch up with the rest of us,” Goldfinch told Fox News Digital. “I think there’s a rational basis for requiring newcomers to catch up with the rest of us and contribute to the roads, bridges, schools and green spaces that we’ve [residents] always contributed to.”

Zelensky Hints At Withdrawing From Russian-Encircled Bakhmut: ‘Out Of Options’:

It was only in late January that Ukraine’s military General Staff emphasized that any potential forces withdrawal from the strategic city of Bakhmut in the east was “out of the question” as the situation was said to be under control.

But a month later, the narrative has dramatically shifted amid reports that the Russians are shelling Ukrainian positions around the clock, and as complaints from Ukrainian front lines oersist of not enough ammo supplies to keep pace with the Russians. President Zelensky in fresh remarks on the situation has admitted that besieged Bakhut is running out of options.

Within the past days he also said for the first time that he won’t seek to hold the city “at any cost” – strongly suggesting Ukraine has suffered a staggering loss in manpower.

He said Tuesday:

Brazilian President And WEF Member Lula Da Silva Pressures Population Into Total COVID Vaccination

– Brazilian President And WEF Member Lula Da Silva Pressures Population Into Total COVID Vaccination:

After three years of covid disinformation from governments and globalist institutions, western countries are finally starting to realize that the pandemic event was not much of a pandemic and that the majority of restrictions and mandates involved in the response had nothing to do with public health or safety.  The establishment failed to implement vaccine mandates and passports in the west, but that does not mean they have given up on the agenda in other parts of the world.  The nation of Brazil has become a prime target for further medical authoritarianism despite the fading mandate efforts in the US and Europe.

While data disproving the majority of covid claims is becoming widespread in North America, there is a fight brewing in South America to dismiss or censor scientific evidence and enforce vaccine requirements anyway.  To recap, the “conspiracy theorists” were right about everything.

The lockdown mandates were useless.  The mask mandates were useless.  The death rate of covid has been exposed as fraudulent, with up to 70% of covid fatalities misdiagnosed by hospitals.  The rumors of covid induced heart failure have been debunked.  The claims of a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” have been debunked as the majority of covid deaths today are among the vaccinated.  Natural immunity has been shown to be far superior to the vaccines.  The US government is now essentially admitting that covid most likely came from the Level 4 virology lab in Wuhan, China – The same lab where Anthony Fauci and the NIH funded gain of function research on coronaviruses.

Don’t show any of this evidence to Lula Da Silva, the highly controversial convicted criminal president of Brazil – He says it’s all “denialism” designed to convince the Brazilian populace to remain unprotected from covid.  Silva has made forced vaccination a centerpiece of his presidency, and his latest efforts smell of globalist policy influence.

https://twitter.com/goddeketal/status/1630325893900926979?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1630325893900926979%7Ctwgr%5Ec85d8842eeb5c1fe031ef9c5806b20e5ca226f15%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zerohedge.com%2Fcovid-19%2Fbrazilian-president-and-wef-member-lula-da-silva-pressures-population-total-covid

Silva has launched a new covid vaccination initiative in 2023, thee years after the covid outbreak and more than a year after most other nations gave up trying to pressure the citizenry to comply.  The oddity of it is rooted in Brazil’s existing vaccine rate – According to “official data” Brazil already has an 80% vaccinated population.  If this is true, why is Silva still trying to force the other 20% into compliance?  In pure public health terms, Brazil has already achieved herd immunity (if the vaccines were actually effective as claimed).  It would appear another motive is afoot.

Buttigieg’s Derailment: NTSB Exposes East Palestine Claim As “Misinformation”

Buttigieg’s Derailment: NTSB Exposes East Palestine Claim As “Misinformation”:

U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg has been repeatedly criticized for transportation problems, including the holiday pile up at our ports that slowed delivery of goods in December. He was also criticized for his response to the recent airport shutdown. I have not joined in that criticism because I am not sure that he has direct responsibility for some of these problems. However, Buttigieg recently raised a legal claim to blame the Trump Administration for the train disaster in East Palestine, Ohio. The claim was not only manifestly false but Buttigieg knew or should have known it was false.

The implications are deeply disturbing.

When confronted with a disaster, Buttigieg not only made a false claim but attempted to weaponize a tragedy against political opponents.

Study: Bill Gates’ Fake Meat Causes “Turbo Cancer” in Humans

Study: Bill Gates’ Fake Meat Causes “Turbo Cancer” in Humans:

According to a disturbing new study, Bill Gates’ lab-grown meat causes cancer in humans who consume it.  Gates and other globalist elites at the World Economic Forum say that synthetic meat and eating bugs are the solution to so-called climate change. However, this fake food has now been shown to cause “turbo cancer” via the immortalized cell lines used to manufacture it.

Not content with poisoning your heart with mRNA vaccines while he sends grandma to a death panel for being useless, Gates wants you to sit down at the dinner table to his repulsive-tasting synthetic meat, which just so happens to riddle you with incurable cancers.

But there is just one problem for Bill Gates and his globalist cronies. We are onto them. The people are waking up and thanks to people like yourself who are spreading the word regarding the real agenda of the elite, the globalist’s plans are starting to fall apart at the seams. -Newspunch

In a February 7th, Bloomberg story about Gates’ fake meat journey, the piece by Joe Fassler explained why Bill Gates’ fake meat companies use immortalized cell lines for their products. “Normal meat cells don’t just keep dividing forever. To get the cell cultures to grow at rates big enough to power a business, several companies … are quietly using what are called immortalized cells, something most people have never eaten intentionally,” Fassler wrote.

Kremlin: West Pumping Weapons Into Ukraine Could Bring ‘Apocalypse’

Kremlin: West Pumping Weapons Into Ukraine Could Bring ‘Apocalypse’:

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has sounded off in a new Russian media op-ed, warning the west of the dire, worst-case scenario that awaits if it keeps escalating its support to Ukrainian forces.

His words published at the start of this week said the Western policy of arming Ukraine could lead to “apocalypse.” The former Russian president and current deputy chairman of the security council has never been shy about these types of warnings, frequently saying that nuclear war could result. The printed words also coincided with Janet Yellen’s Monday trip to Ukraine where she discussed $10 billion in new budgetary aid for Kiev, and announced the first $1.2 billion tranche.

Biden Administration Proposes To Block Half Of Current Gas Range Models

“They have released the most stringent proposal for gas ranges, which only a sliver of the market can meet”

Biden Admin Proposes To Block Half Of Current Gas Range Models:

Authored by Allen Zhong via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

An efficiency proposal by the Department of Energy (DOE) would block half of current gas cooking appliances from the U.S. market, an analysis by the federal agency shows.

The DOE proposed a maximum annual gas consumption of 1,204 thousand British thermal units (kBtu), also known as the EL 2 standard, for all gas cooking tops. If that rule is finalized, only half of those appliances that are currently on the market would be able to meet the new standard.

The department “estimates that nearly half of the total gas cooking top market currently achieves EL 2 and therefore would not be impacted by the proposed standard, if finalized,” DOE stated in an updated analysis (pdf).

Chevron Hikes Annual Stock Buyback Target To $17.5 Billion

Chevron Hikes Annual Stock Buyback Target To $17.5 Billion:

Chevron will raise its targeted annual share buyback rate to $17.5 billion, up from $15 billion, as it looks to grow shareholder distribution, the U.S. supermajor said on Tuesday.

High-return production growth supports growing shareholder distributions, Chevron said at its annual investor meeting today. At $60 a barrel Brent price, the company expects its annual free cash flow to grow by more than 10%. It is raising its share buyback guidance range to $10 billion to $20 billion per year and will raise its targeted annual share buyback rate to $17.5 billion starting in the second quarter.

In January, Chevron’s Board authorized a new $75 billion share repurchase program without a fixed expiration date, which immediately drew criticism from the White House.

White House Assistant Press Secretary Abdullah Hasan said, commenting on the news, “For a company that claimed not too long ago that it was ‘working hard’ to increase oil production, handing out $75 billion to executives and wealthy shareholders sure is an odd way to show it.”

Vanguard CEO Abandons ESG Investing Alliance: “Not In The Game Of Politics”

FYI.

***

Vanguard CEO Abandons ESG Investing Alliance: “Not In The Game Of Politics”:

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) has been a hotly debated topic over the last few years.

The seemingly unquestioned march towards corporate utopia has met with resistance among those who oppose the idea that government oligarchs should dictate the affairs of private business firms. The long-term effects of the ESG movement are largely ignored by the mainstream.

As Tom Czitron previously commented, ESG is largely justified on the basis that corporations and financial institutions should be socially responsible. They should work obsessively to address the perceived menaces of climate change, racism, sexism, and a host of subjects. Our benevolent political and economic elite define what is virtuous and what is not for a grateful public.

Academics Call For WWII-Style Rationing Of Food And Fuel To Stop Climate Change

#Agenda21, #NWO…

Academics Call For WWII-Style Rationing Of Food And Fuel To Stop Climate Change:

As we have outlined outlined in detail many times in the past, there is little to no concrete evidence supporting the theory that man-made carbon emissions have any relevance whatsoever to weather and climate change.  There is no evidence of a “climate crisis” and no evidence that human industry and agriculture makes a negative impact on the Earth’s temperatures.  There is no evidence that carbon emissions have a causation effect on global warming and no evidence to support “tipping point” theories that assert that a mere 1.5°C increase in temps will lead to environmental catastrophe.

Climate activists relying on a tiny time frame of around 100 years of our planet’s weather history as evidence to support their claims while ignoring the millions of years of temperature changes that occurred without human input is alarming and anti-science.  In fact, the Earth has been much warmer (and cooler) multiple times in its history that it is today suggests that people have very little influence on the climate in general.

Beyond the lack of scientific evidence in terms of carbon emissions and global warming, there is also the issue of political and social control rooted in climate laws.  Right now in Europe the farming industry is facing bureaucratic Armageddon as governmental red tape and climate based taxation are set to make the growing of food impossible for a majority of farmers.  UN and EU climate controls are being implemented now and will effectively destroy large portions of the EU economy, and the establishment wants to bring these same policies to the US.

Hungary Demands UN Investigation Into “Scandalous” Attack On Nord Stream Pipelines

Hungary has called for a UN investigation into the “scandalous” attack on the Nord Stream pipelines, which journalist Seymour Hersh asserted were destroyed by the United States.

Three of the four natural gas pipelines connecting Russia to Germany were sabotaged in September last year, an attack that must have been carried out by a state actor.

Mike Whitney: The Plan to Wreck America

The Plan to Wreck America:

In America, we have an oligarch problem, and it’s much bigger than the oligarch problem that Putin faced when he became president in 2000. The entire West is now in the grips of billionaire elites who have a stranglehold on the media, the political establishment and all of our important institutions. In recent years we have seen these oligarchs expand their influence from markets, finance and trade to politics, social issues and even public health. The impact this group has had on these other areas of interest, has been nothing short of breathtaking. Establishment elites and their media not only stood foursquare behind Russiagate, the Trump impeachment, the BLM riots and the January 6 fiasco, they also had a hand in the Covid hysteria and the host of repressive measures that were imposed in the name of public health. What we’d like to know is to what extent this group is actively involved in the shaping of other events that are aimed at transforming the American Republic into a more authoritarian system?

In other words, are the mandated injections, the forced lockdowns, the aggressive government-implemented censorship, the dubious presidential elections, the burning of food processing plants, the derailing of trains, the attacks on the power grid, the BLM-Antifa riots, the drag queen shows for schoolchildren, the maniacal focus on gender issues, and glitzy public show-trials merely random incidents occurring spontaneously during a period of great social change or are they, in fact, evidence of a stealthily orchestrated operation conducted by agents of the state acting on behalf of their elite benefactors? We already know that the FBI, the DOJ and the intel agencies were directly involved in Russiagate –which was a covert attack on the sitting president of the United States. So, the question is not “whether” these agencies are actively involved in other acts of treachery but, rather, to what extent these acts impact the lives or ordinary Americans, our politics and the country? But before we answer that question, take a look at this quote from from a recent interview by Colonel Douglas MacGregor:

A cross between domestic pigs and European wild boar, these beasts pack a wallop — the largest “super pig” killed so far was well over 600 pounds — and scientists say they’re highly intelligent too.

CDC Spreads False Information About COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Monitoring

CDC Spreads False Information About COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Monitoring:

Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

A top U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) official gave false information about COVID-19 vaccine safety monitoring to the agency’s vaccine advisory panel, and a spokesperson for the agency refused to correct the misinformation.

Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, director of the CDC’s Immunization Safety Office, presented on COVID-19 vaccine safety to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices on Feb. 24.

Shimabukuro went over updates to the safety signal for ischemic stroke following Pfizer bivalent booster vaccination that CDC officials detected in one of the agency’s monitoring systems.

After sharing the updates, Shimabukuro made the false statement.

No safety signals were detected for ischemic stroke for the primary series or monovalent boosters for Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines in U.S. and global monitoring,” Shimabukuro said.

That’s not true. The CDC identified ischemic stroke as a safety signal following Moderna and Pfizer vaccination after analyzing reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a different system, which the agency co-manages.

Asked for comment, Shimabukuro did not respond. But a CDC spokesperson doubled down on the false claim.

NYC Fire-Sells $200 Million Of COVID-Era PPE Supplies For Just $500,000

NYC Fire-Sells $200 Million Of COVID-Era PPE Supplies For Just $500,000:

Who would have thought that all of the spur-of-the-moment government spending we engaged in to “beat the virus” over the last several years would turn out to be mismanaged and reckless?

That certainly seems to be the case now, as it is being reported that about $200 million worth of Covid supplies that were purchased during the Covid era in New York have been fire-sold off for just $500,000, according to Fox 5.

Bill Hammond, senior policy fellow at the conservative-leaning think tank The Empire Center, told Fox: “People were dying. There was reasonable concern that it was going to keep getting worse.”

Among the emergency orders made by then-Mayor Bill de Blasio was an order for 3,000 emergency ventilators that cost the city $12 million. One investigative reporter, Greg Smith, said of the purchase: “They put them in the corner or in the closet or something, and they never turned [them] on.”

US Citizen Killed In Spiraling West Bank Violence

US Citizen Killed In Spiraling West Bank Violence:

There’s been spiraling violence since Sunday across multiple West Bank towns and villages. Israeli settlers went on a rampage in the Nablus area – burning cars, businesses and attacking random Palestinians – after a Sunday night shooting wherein a Palestinian gunman killed two Israelis in the Huwara area.

Palestinian officials have condemned what they called a “pogrom” which saw some 400 Palestinians injured. This resulted in more shootings by Palestinian gunmen on Monday, including of a motorist identified by US officials as an American.
