Left: Preventing the Government from Censoring Free Speech is Censorship

The “clear message is to have this sort of chilling effect on communication between the government and platforms.”

After a federal judge issued a ruling ordering the federal government to stop “specifically flagging content or posts on social-media platforms and/or forwarding such to social-media companies urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner for removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech.”

The lefty censorship lobby responded with pages of unhinged hysteria that failed to address the issue.

Will GOLD be the only currency?

Leave a reply

Not only do we have peak oil but also peak gold. So the world is facing a vicious  a cycle of increasing energy costs leading to higher costs of extracting precious metals and other commodities. 

This confirms that high inflation is here to stay, leading to higher interest rates and very high risk of debt defaults within the private and sovereign sectors. 

To hold US dollars is to hand your wealth to the state which is likely to either debase it, lose it, spend it, confiscate it or misappropriate it in any other way.  

Why would anyone trust a government like the US which currently is doing all of the above things. 

And don’t believe that the Euro will fare better.

The only way to be in control of your own money is to hold it in physical gold outside your country of residence in private vaults. 

The trust in the US and the dollar is now coming to an end after the confiscation of all Russian assets. Who would want to hold their assets under the control of a government what can just steal it at will. 

So we are not facing a dollar crisis. Instead, the dollar and its issuer is the crisis. No one who is worried about preserving his wealth would ever consider holding it in a crisis currency, controlled by a crisis government. 

I find it fascinating that the JP Morgan who has become a joint custodian of the GLD gold ETF is  planning to move the gold to Switzerland. This confirms my strong view that Switzerland will further strengthen its position as a major gold hub. Currently 70% of all the gold bars in the world are refined in Switzerland which also have more major private gold vaults than any other country. 

Also, as I discussed in a recent article, no central bank will want to hold its reserves in US dollars with to a capricious US government that can steel it at will. The only money that could mantle the role as a reserve asset as the dollar fades away is obviously gold.

Will Half the World Dump the US Dollar?

Leave a reply

Half the world to dump U.S. dollars in future, causing ‘tsunami of inflation’ and asset price ‘collapse’, paving the way for CBDCs and The Great Reset – Andy Schectman | Kitco News

“As the world moves away from the U.S. dollar as a world reserve asset, dollars will be dumped globally, causing a “tsunami of inflation” in the United States as the currency returns to American shores. Interest rates will rise accordingly, followed by a “collapse” in asset prices, which would be used to usher in Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and The Great Reset.

This dire scenario is the forecast of Andy Schectman, President and Owner of Miles Franklin and an expert on monetary and economic history. Schectman, who has three decades of experience in the precious metals sector, said that the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) coalition could lead the charge to develop their own reserve currency which would compete against the U.S. dollar.

“The BRICS are, I think, coalescing against the dollar, the perceived hypocrisy and hegemony of the dollar,” he said. “We’ve already been told that the BRICS currency would be pegged to gold or to commodities, the assumption being that gold is one of the commodities.”

The BRICS are meeting in Durban, South Africa in August, and one of their agenda items is the development of an alternative to the U.S. dollar.

Schectman told Michelle Makori, Lead Anchor and Editor-in-Chief at Kitco News, that the dollar’s “weaponization” during the Russian war with Ukraine has hastened the move to “dump” dollars. He suggested that Western sanctions on Russia, as well as expelling Russia from the SWIFT payment system, has had a chilling effect, deterring other nations from using the dollar.

“Since the weaponization of the dollar in 2022, it [de-dollarization] seems to be spinning much, much faster,” Schectman observed.

He pointed to Saudi Arabia, who has recently stated that it is open to accepting other currencies in exchange for its oil, as a potential catalyst for massive de-dollarization.”

The Mother of all Economic Crises

Leave a reply

Nouriel Roubini, a former advisor to the International Monetary Fund and member of President Clinton’s Council of Economic Advisors, was one of the few “mainstream” economists to predict the collapse of the housing bubble. Now Roubini is warning that the staggering amounts of debt held by individuals, businesses, and the government will soon lead to the “mother of all economic crises.”

Roubini properly blames the creation of a debt-based economy on the near-or-at-zero interest rate and quantitative easing policies pursued by the Federal Reserve and other central banks. The inevitable result of the zero-interest and quantitative easing policies is price inflation wreaking havoc on the American people.

The Fed has been trying to eliminate price inflation with a series of interest rate increases. So far, these rate increases have not significantly reduced price inflation. This is because rates remain at historic lows. Yet the rate increases have had negative economic effects, including a decline in the demand for new homes. Increasing interest rates make it impossible for many middle- and working-class Americans to afford a monthly mortgage payment for even a relatively inexpensive home.

The main reason the Fed cannot raise rates to anywhere near what they would be in a free market is the effect it would have on the federal government’s ability to manage its debt. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), interest on the national debt is already on track to consume 40 percent of the federal budget by 2052 and will surpass defense spending by 2029! A small interest rate increase can raise yearly federal debt interest rate payments by many billions of dollars, increasing the amount of the federal budget devoted solely to servicing the debt.

The federal government’s fiscal picture is made worse by the fact that the Social Security “Trust Fund” will begin to run deficits by 2035 while the Medicare Trust Fund will run deficits by 2028. The looming bankruptcy of the two major entitlement programs, combined with the unwillingness of most in Congress to reduce either welfare or warfare spending, puts the Fed in a bind. If it raises rates to the levels needed to really combat price inflation, the increase in interest payments will impose hardships on individuals and businesses, as well as raise federal interest payments to unsustainable levels. This will cause a major economic crisis including a government default on its debt causing a rejection of the dollar’s world reserve currency status. Also, if the Fed continues to facilitate federal deficits by monetizing the debt, the result will be an economic crisis caused by a collapse in the dollar’s value and rejection of the dollar’s world reserve status.

The crisis will lead to social unrest and violence, as well as increased popularity of authoritarian movements on both the left and the right. This will lead to government crackdowns on civil liberties and increased government control of our economy. The only bright spot is this crisis will also fuel interest in the ideas of liberty and could even help bring about a return to limited, constitutional government, free markets, individual liberty, and a foreign policy of peaceful trade with all. Those of us who know the truth have two responsibilities. The first is to make the necessary plans to ensure our families can survive the forthcoming turmoil. The second is to do all we can to introduce as many people as possible to the ideas of liberty.

Did Ohio Just Elect the Next Ilhan Omar?

Leave a reply

The Ohio legislature’s first Somali Muslim congresswoman worked for a Muslim Brotherhood proxy that is known to radicalize Muslim youth.

From: BENJAMIN BAIRD The Federalist

As the first Somali Muslim woman elected to the Ohio state legislature, Munira Abdullahi is expected to bring “diversity” and “new perspectives” to the Ohio House of Representatives, according to her supporters. What they don’t tell you is that the 26-year-old belongs to a radical Sunni Islamist organization that uses youth indoctrination, charity, and social work to grow its political power and spread theocratic, often illiberal views.

Based on her background and career trajectory, Abdullahi could feasibly become the next Ilhan Omar — Minnesota’s far-left congresswoman known for expressing radical, antisemitic opinions and consorting with various Islamist groups. Indeed, the Ohio legislator shares striking similarities with Omar, the first Somali Muslim elected to her state’s legislature in 2016 and the first Muslim woman elected to Congress.

Raising Up ‘Revolutionaries’

Since her November victory, the Somali American legislator continues to promote MAS activities, including a Columbus chapter event called “Reviving the Revolutionaries.” Aimed at Muslim youth, the conference featured two instructors from the notorious Al Maghrib Institute, a “non-profit college” where at least five former students have been arrested for joining or supporting terrorist entities.

Abdullahi admitted she was “Very excited” for this event, which also featured Asad Zaman, the director of MAS-Minnesota and a prolific antisemite who has promoted neo-Nazi and Hamas websites. A picture from the conference shows Abdullahi seated next to Zaman.

Abdullahi’s role as a youth director at MAS-Columbus would not necessarily insulate her from the organization’s brazen displays of extremism. In 2019, the nearby Philadelphia chapter of MAS sparked a citywide investigation after videos emerged of MAS schoolchildren singing jubilantly about beheading Jews, serving as “martyrs,” and “liberating” the Islamic holy site in Jerusalem.

Abdullahi’s political ascent may have ramifications that reach far beyond Central Ohio. Just as Omar transitioned from the state legislature to U.S. Congress, Abdullahi may use her time in state government as a stepping stone to higher office.

This is “the model,” according to Mohammed Missouri of Jetpac, an Islamist civic action group that celebrated Abdullahi’s election victory in a press release. “Today’s state legislator is tomorrow’s member of Congress,” he told Time, adding that Muslim lawmakers such as Omar “didn’t come out of nowhere … they spent years building community trust … and then when they decided to run for Congress people knew who they were.”

Abdullahi did not “come out of nowhere” either. She spent the last decade working for a Muslim Brotherhood proxy that is known to radicalize Muslim youth and isolate Islamic communities.

Yet if Omar’s career path provides any indication of what to expect, Abdullahi may just be getting started.

Time To Awaken To Action

Leave a reply

As I have been writing about over the years, “WE the People” need to wrestle back control from the globalist insurrection. Today, this insurrection is showing itself without resolve or concern for us. WE need to stop this. Whether the control over our children (CRT), control over our resources (Federal Reserve) or the control over our media (big media influencing our elections). These are by no means the end all. These are the factors they have shown us. The racial division and religious divisions can not be overlooked. TIME TO TAKE ACTION.

As I state in my website preface,

The people, whomever they are, have got to get out from their computers, day jobs, life as we know it and engage the tyrants in OUR GOVERNMENT.  We have two choices, submit or resist.  I say we resist.  How say you?  First we must engage the local politicos on their field, ie. County Committee, Assembly, Senate.  Then with Patriots in place, we wrestle the control back to the liberty minded Patriots, guided by God and the Constitution.  Let’s face the reality, this sounds like a novel right?  Well if that tact doesn’t work then we have to engage the Politicos agents, ie. Police and National Guard, the choice is still OURS.  But not for much longer.  So get out there and get involved.  TODAY!  RIGHT NOW if you can!

I quote a piece today from Lawrence Sellin, Ph.D. a retired U.S. Army Reserve colonel and a veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Ordinary Americans must band together locally outside of the Democrat and Republican Party structures to restore the rule of law and establish alternate forms of governance accountable to the people.

Fundamental to that effort are the rights guaranteed under the Second Amendment. Each locality should establish an organized and disciplined militia with sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain independence and individual liberty against any outside entity that might attempt to abuse them.

Nations are lands defined by borders containing people with a common history, culture and language.

If the United States is to remain a sovereign nation with a restored constitutional republic, local governments need to preserve the critical elements of nationhood and national culture. Such measures include:

  • Securing our national borders,
  • Detaining and expelling all illegal aliens,
  • Declaring English the only official language,
  • Strictly enforcing Equal Opportunity, eliminating all discriminatory diversity and equity policies,
  • Outlawing the teaching or promotion of critical race theory and sex-oriented curricula for children,
  • Establishing a simplified and equitable tax system for individuals and businesses to limit both the Internal Revenue Service and the impact of lobbyists,
  • Begin moving federal departments out of Washington D.C. to other locations in the country and hiring local employees,
  • Rebuilding from the ground up, the Department of Justice, the FBI and all intelligence agencies,
  • Restoring energy self-sufficiency,
  • Maintaining a strict constructionist interpretation of the Constitution,
  • Limiting Congressional terms to a total of 12 years either in the House of Representatives or the Senate or a combination thereof,
  • All current members of Congress who have exceeded the 12-year limit cannot run for reelection,
  • Removing all special benefits for members of Congress and government officials beyond those available to ordinary citizens,
  • With the exception of funds necessary for the defense of the nation, establish a yearly across-the-board 5% reduction in federal government funding with the immediate elimination of the Departments of Homeland Security, Energy, Education and the Environmental Protection Agency.
  • A yearly 10% reduction in foreign aid to be reinvested in the nation.

The political and cultural civil war, in which the United States is presently immersed, will determine the future of the country in a way no less historic than the American Civil War of 1861-1865.

And our side, the one wishing to retain our constitutional republic, is not yet fighting back in a manner that will yield victory.

We urgently need to do so.

The “REAL” Reset is Coming

By Victor Davis Hanson as printed in Epoch Times

President Joe Biden believes the Ukraine war will mark the start of a “new world order.” In the middle of the COVID global pandemic, Klaus Schwab and global elites likewise announced a “great reset.”

Accordingly, the nations of the world would have to surrender their sovereignty to an international body of experts. They would enlighten us on taxes, diversity, and green policies.

When former President Donald Trump got elected in 2016, marquee journalists announced partisan reporting would have to displace the old, supposedly disinterested approach to the news.

There is a common theme here.

In normal times progressives worry that they do not have public support for their policies. Only in crises do they feel that the political Left and media can merge to use apocalyptic times to ram through usually unpopular approaches to foreign and domestic problems.

We saw that last year: fleeing from Afghanistan, the embrace of critical race theory, trying to end the filibuster, pack the court, junk the Electoral College, and nationalize voting laws.

These “new orders” and “resets” always entail far bigger government and more unelected, powerful bureaucracies. Elites assume that their radical changes in energy use, media reporting, voting, sovereignty, and racial and ethnic quotas will never quite apply to themselves, the architects of such top-down changes.

So we common folk must quit fossil fuels, but not those who need to use corporate jets. Walls will not mar our borders but will protect the homes of Nancy Pelosi, Mark Zuckerberg, and Bill Gates.

Hunter Biden’s lost laptop will be declared, by fiat, not news. In contrast, the fake Alfa Bank “collusion” narrative will be national headline news for weeks.

Middle class lifestyles will be curbed as we are instructed to strive for sustainability and transition to apartment living and mass transit. But the Obamas will still keep their three mansions, and Silicon Valley futurists will insist on exemptions for their yachts.

In truth, we are about to see a radical reset—of the current reset. It will be a different sort of transformation than the elites are expecting and one that they should greatly fear.

The world and the United States are furious over hyperinflation that may soon exceed 10 percent per year. We will be lucky if it ends only in recession or stagflation, rather than a global depression.

The mess was created by the same apparat who bought into “modern monetary theory.” That silly university idea claimed prosperity would follow vastly expanding the money supply, keeping interest rates at de facto zero levels, running huge annual deficits, piling up unsustainable national debt, and subsidizing workers to stay home.

Natural gas and oil costs are now soaring to unsustainable levels—and to the point where the middle class simply will not be able to travel, keep warm in winter, or cool in summer.

Both in Europe and the United States left-wing governments deliberately curbed drilling and non-Russian pipelines. They shut down nuclear power plants and subsidized costly, inefficient solar and wind projects. They ended up not with utopia, but with fuel shortages, high prices, and energy dependency on the world’s most repressive regimes.

The woke revolution in the West was supposed to teach us that the “white male”-dominated Western world is toxic. Its origins, ascendence, and current leisure and affluence were supposedly due only to systemic exploitation, racism, and sexism.

Elites introduced cancel culture, doxxing, deplatforming, and social ostracism to shame these supposed exploiters and to destroy their lives and careers.

Few asked how a supposedly noxious West of some 2,500 years duration became the number one destination of millions of global non-Western migrants and offered the greatest degree of global prosperity and freedom for its citizens.

So a reset reckoning is coming—in reaction to the “new orders” championed by Biden and the Davos set.

In the November 2022 midterms, we are likely to see a historic “No!” to the orthodox left-wing agenda that has resulted in unsustainable inflation, unaffordable energy, war, and humiliation abroad, spiraling crime, racial hostility—as well as arrogant defiance from those who deliberately enacted these disastrous policies.

What will replace it is a return to what until recently had worked.

Closed and secure borders with only legal and measured immigration will return. Americans will demand tough police enforcement and deterrent sentencing, and a return to integration and the primacy of individual character rather than separatist fixations on the “color of our skin.”

The public will continue to tune out of the partisan and mediocre “mainstream” media. We will see greater increased production of oil and natural gas to transition us slowly to a wider variety of energy, strong national defense, and deterrent foreign policies.

The prophets of the new world order sowed the wind and they will soon reap the whirlwind of an angry public worn out by elite incompetence, arrogance, and ignorance.

Ray Dalio: Another Billionaire Preaching World Order and Weeping Over “Income Inequality.”

Leave a reply

As we continue to hear more and more about the “New World Order”, that entity that wishes to control ALL the lives and territory of the entire world, it appears they are leaking more and more to ensure the lemmings of the world that they are not to be feared but to be revered. We know better. The mere fact that they meet in secret should alarm most but then again most are not paying attention. Now we even have the US President talking about getting in front of the New World Order.

Joe Biden's 'New World Order' Comments Go Viral: Here's The Context

“We’re going to — there’s going to be a new world order out there, and we’ve got to lead it.  And we’ve got to unite the rest of the free world in doing it,” Biden said.

What Happened: Biden made the comments ahead of the Business Roundtable’s CEO quarterly meeting on Monday, where he dwelled on the Russia-Ukraine war and how investments by companies in the U.S. have created over 450,000 manufacturing jobs.

Dalio and the CFR “Convergence” Choir

Like David Rockefeller, George Soros, Warren Buffett, and Bill Gates before him, Ray Dalio is an ultra-wealthy, elite globalist who envisions a future in which the United States and the West “converge” — economically, politically, and socially — with communist China in a “new world order.”

Besides being a veteran “Davos Man,” Dalio is also a board member of the National Committee on US-China Relations (NCUSCR), the premier Big Business-Big Banking-Big Tech-Big Media-Big Government forum for promoting U.S.-China convergence. In 2019, he was the “esteemed honoree” and speaker at the NCUSCR annual Gala Dinner in New York City, which also featured Henry Kissinger and the to-be-expected “great and good” of the globalist hierarchy. In 2020, Dalio was a featured expert on the NCUSCR’s China Town Hall live webinar, one of the main globalist-communist convergence propaganda programs. Ray Dalio is also a longtime member of the immensely powerful, world government-promoting Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Naturally, then, in addition to being acclaimed by the CFR-dominated “mainstream” media cabal, Dalio the Great is also lavishly promoted by premier globalists such as David Rubenstein (chairman of the CFR and co-chair of the super-influential Carlyle Group), who featured Dalio on his January 24, 2022 broadcast of The David Rubenstein Show on Bloomberg Television (owned by CFR member Michael Bloomberg). Then there was his video interview with former U.S. Treasury Secretary (and CFR member) Lawrence Summers on Politico. And his “Straight Talk” interview with former U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson (CFR). And his video interview with Fareed Zakaria (CFR member, CNN host, Washington Post columnist) on the CFR’s own program. It goes on and on.

Dalio is celebrated for advocating “radical transparency,” but he prefers to operate in the opacity and totalitarian darkness of the Beijing regime. His CCP comrades in Beijing, his WEF comrades in Davos, and his CFR comrades on Wall Street are all too happy to cover for him, assist him, and promote him because he is one of their premier change agents for bringing about their plan for a “changing world order.

Federal Reserve Plans to Replace Money with Central Bank Digital Currency

G. Edward Griffin Explains the Federal Reserve Plans to Replace Money with Central Bank Digital Currency

G. Edward Griffin explains what the Federal Reserve is and how it came to have control over our government. He said that the Federal Reserve is transitioning to a new monetary system and is planning to institute central bank digital currency (CBDC), similar to a credit card, but the banks will control over the money, and people will need to get permission from the bank to spend. He said that silver and gold and other tangible investments outside the banking system are likely to hold their value. Griffin believes that most present-day cryptocurrency traders are not buying assets for currency, but simply for profits.
