Anti-Woke Indian Immigrant Calls out Democrats on their Woke and Divisive Ideology Through CRT – Roasts Rep. Raskin and Rep. Tlaib [5:15] By Jim Hoft
On Tuesday, Congressional Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Liberties Chairman Jamie Raskin (D-MD) convened a hearing to discuss the federal government’s response to domestic terrorist threats, including those presented by the so-called ‘white supremacist ideologies.’
“We live in a violent society and the violence exists across the spectrum of political extremism. But the movements of violent white supremacy and anti-government extremism lead America in fomenting terroristic violence and disseminating propaganda to incite it,” said Chairman Raskin in his opening statement.
“Both the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security identify white supremacy as the most lethally dangerous domestic terrorism threat our country faces,” Raskin continued.
Wall Street Journal writer Asra Nomani, an anti-woke mother and a parents’ rights advocate who immigrated to the US from India, was invited to the House Oversight Committee to talk about the woke and divisive ideology pushed by the Democrats.
Nomani slammed critical race theory, wokeness, and the poor education of children in the US as a “threat to democracy.”
Wearing a shirt that her father made and inspired by AOC’s dress, Nomani stated, “And it says on here the names that we, the parents in the United States of America, have been called… things like Domestic Terrorist, White Supremacist, QAnon Moms. What is it that we, the parents, have dared to stand up against in the United States of America over the last couple of years? It is a divisive ideology expressed through this book called Critical Race Theory. It is a book that is taught in law schools, but it is translated into our school systems with books like this.”
“Whiteness is a bad deal – signing a contract with the devil. What is the message in this? The message is the shaming of human beings. No child should be shamed. And why is this a threat to our democracy? Because we then have posters like this one in the Los Angeles School District. What does it say? F America with KKK replacing the C. Because the idea is that our nation has become a white supremacist nation, and that is not true,” she said.
“This is an ideology that I call the Woke Army. It is an ideology of activists who are going through America school districts and our communities, and what they are doing is a threat to democracy.
Nomani went on to say that students’ “learning loss” can result in extremism. She then attacked Raskin and Talib by pointing out the low literacy rates in their respective districts.
“It is the learning loss that has happened in our school districts. The Department of Justice declares clearly the characteristics that lead any human being to extremism include having less education. Chairman Raskin, I don’t know if you know it, but the reading level in your school district in Montgomery County Schools is at 32% of kids that are reading at grade level. Math is at 30%. Congresswoman Tlaib is here in Detroit, it’s 18% and then 12% for Math.”
“It is a failure. This is a system failure. Our children are in a crisis today, and the idea that we, the parents, are now the agents of white supremacy is unacceptable,” she continued.

How to assess whether a death was caused by the COVID vaccine Steve Kirsch
I wrote about this on Aug 13, 2022, but it was buried in a longer post. This dedicated post will make it easier to find.
Executive summary
People can die from the vaccine for at least a year after their vaccination.
Here’s how to do the proper tests during the autopsy to find out whether the vaccine played a significant role in the death.
Here’s what pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole recommends
Dr. Cole recommends Dr. Burkhardt’s protocol for autopsy.
He also wrote me:
On section II.2 I would also consider TLR4 stains on heart microscopic slides. I would also add a SARS cov2 nucleocapsid antibody test to all microscopic tissue sections where spike is found to verify damage by viral infection vs vaccine tissue damage.
So this is what all medical examiners in the US should be doing.
How many are doing it? Just one guy: pathologist Ryan Cole MD. And he’s not a medical examiner!
Other methods
Vaccinated Thailand Princess Bajrakitiyabha dies suddenly at age 44 Steve Kirsch
Immediate CPR unsuccessful. ECMO unsuccessful. What a tragedy. It was Thailand which PROVED that the COVID vaccines CAUSE heart injury in nearly 30% of young adults.
Vaccinated Thailand Princess Bajrakitiyabha, 44, suffered a heart attack while running on December 14, 2022. Attempts at CPR and even ECMO in the hospital were unsuccessful. This is a sign of major heart injury.
It is rare for someone so young, who clearly has the best medical care, to die like this.
The next in line for the throne is also highly likely vaccine injured
Also, the next in line for the throne has autism, which is a well-established vaccine injury (why else would the CDC order CDC employee William Thompson to destroy all the data linking the MMR vaccine with autism?):
“These events have huge repercussions for the Thai monarchy because it was assumed Bajrakitiyabha would be the next monarch, or would be regent for her younger half-brother Dipangkorn who has autism and will not be able to reign alone,” Andrew MacGregor Marshall added.
Will there be a proper autopsy? I seriously doubt it. Here’s why.
Unfortunately, I don’t think there will be an autopsy with the proper tests because it would kill the vaccine program worldwide. There will be tremendous pressure NOT to definitively know what killed her.
Also, the royal family isn’t going to want to look bad for pushing the vaccine.
If there is not a proper autopsy to find the true cause of death, that pretty much tells you everything you need to know.
However, the royal family could easily ensure that the autopsy shows nothing by threatening the people doing the examination, so I’m not sure that even if they did an autopsy it would be above board. So the sudden deaths will continue.
Check out this article showing that if you point out the fact that the King is profiting from the vaccine, they will try to put you in prison for 15 years. That’s why they aren’t going to do an autopsy.
BREAKING: Thailand Princess, Next in Line to Throne, On Life Support After Collapsing While Running Due to ‘Heart Condition’ By Jim Hoft
On Wednesday evening, Princess Bajrakitiyabha, 44, collapsed during a canine training session in preparation for the Royal Thai Army event to run with dogs at the Working Dog Championship contest in Pak Chong district.
According to reports, she suffered from heart attack.
The Bureau of the Royal Household reported that the Princess received initial care at the nearby Pak Chong Nana Hospital before being airlifted to the more advanced facilities at Bangkok’s Chulalongkorn Hospital.
According to journalist Andrew MacGregor Marshall, one of the first people who broke the news, the princess was taken to a nearby hospital, then taken by helicopter to Bangkok, where she is being treated. He added the princess is ‘artificially kept alive’ on an ECMO machine.
People Died From mRNA-Vaccine-Damaged Hearts, New Peer-Reviewed German Study Provides Direct Evidence Authored by Jennifer Margulis and Joe Wang via The Epoch Times
Medical pathologists from Heidelberg University Hospital in Heidelberg, Germany have published direct evidence showing how people found dead after mRNA vaccination died. As this team of six scientists explore in their study, these mRNA-vaccinated patients suffered from heart damage because their hearts were attacked by their own immune cells. This autoimmune attack on their own heart cells then leads to their damaged hearts beating so many times per second that, once the tachycardia unexpectedly started, they died in minutes.
The article, “Autopsy-based histopathological characterization of myocarditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination,” was published on Nov. 27, 2022, in the journal Clinical Research in Cardiology, the official journal of the German Cardiac Society. The research team autopsied 25 victims of different ages who were found dead at home within 28 days of vaccination. They looked at their heart tissue under the microscope to find out why these people died of cardiac rhythmic disruption when they had no apparent underlying heart disease.
In the authors’ own words: “Our findings establish the histological phenotype of lethal vaccination-associated myocarditis.”
Histological phenotype means direct observation of microscopic tissue.
In a video analyzing the results, nurse educator Dr. John Campbell, who is based in the United Kingdom, told his audience: “This is peer-reviewed. This is proper science, and a definitive pathological diagnosis by a group of leading German pathologists.” Campbell’s video has been viewed 918,000 times. He has 2.58 million subscribers on his channel.

Questions you can ask your doctor Steve Kirsch
Here’s an email I sent to my doctor today. If you have your doctor’s email address (a rare thing), maybe you can ask too, because I doubt I will get a response and I REALLY want to know the answers!
Feel free to plagiarize my email. If I get a response, I’ll post it here. Don’t hold your breath.
Another option: you can just compose a short email asking your doctor to debunk me by answering a few simple questions and refer her to this article.
My letter
Hi Dr. Sangani,
I don’t want to be the world’s top misinformation superspreader, but according to Google, I’m it. I’m writing to see if you can help me.
Michele said you said my positions on the vaccine are not based on science.
I want you to know that I’m VERY open to being shown I’m wrong.
Here are 13 questions I am hoping you can answer for me. I have hundreds more. These are just a few off the top of my head. If you can answer these, it would be a great start and I would really appreciate it!!!
- Can you tell me why the authorities all over the world (except FL Surgeon General Joe Ladapo) ignore the evidence IN PEER REVIEWED JOURNALS by the world’s top scientists SHOWING the COVID vaccine is killing people?
- Can you tell me how we can be assured that the mRNA sequence is intact at the time of injection when the FDA whistleblower at the Johnson committee admitted there is no quality control? This was a well-known problem before the vaccine was approved (the European regulator complained about it), but there was NEVER ANY EVIDENCE they FIXED the problem. If there is evidence, where is it? Without 100% mRNA integrity, the vaccine can’t work, right? How do you know? The drug companies haven’t done any studies and they PROHIBIT anyone from doing these studies. If it is safe and effective, why the prohibition on research studies? Heck, we don’t even know if the mRNA sequence being delivered is the same as what was in the trials.
- The strange blood clots, it’s impossible for these foot long (or more) amyloid clots featured in the movie Died Suddenly to form post-mortem. There is a very plausible mechanism of action for the vaccine causing these. And these clots have been seen, in some cases, in over 90% of embalming cases by embalmers all over the world. It only started AFTER the vaccine rolled out. So if it isn’t the vaccine causing these strange novel clots, what is?

The Albert Sensor Systems: How Government and a 501(c)3 Tracks Real-Time Election Data in 98% of the US – Put Into Effect by DHS After Trump Won in 2016 By Jim Hoft
If the Federal government lied about their censorship, what other election initiatives are they lying about?
Let’s look at their program created to gain access to local election data.
Around 2011 DHS created their own intrusion detection system called the ALBERT Sensor. It’s part of the larger Einstein System that protects federal agencies from cyber risks. ALBERT is a “black box” server installed on a County’s network. It collects the traffic flowing on their election network and transmits this data to a nonprofit in NY. DHS selected this non-profit to monitor all the election data from across the United Sates. It is analyzed around the clock with the hope they can alert jurisdictions if they find any malicious traffic on their network. Few election networks had the system before 2016.
After Trump won his election, DHS wanted access to all local election systems. They quadrupled the number of ALBERT installations in the following two years by pressuring counties over Russian election interference. ALBERT Sensors are now in 98% of our nations election infrastructure. We call it a “black box” because the counties know little about the system. They are given no dashboard to see activity, no reports on what was captured, not even what ALBERT observed. ALBERT is free to a County, but they must sign an agreement that gives CISA access too. This includes info about hardware configurations and security settings.
Detractors say ALBERT has major weaknesses and can be hacked.
BRAVO! Tucker Carlson Only FOX News Host to Invite Kari Lake On to Discuss Shocking Election Day Fraud and Her Historic Lawsuit Against Katie Hobbs and Maricopa County (VIDEO 4:22) By Jim Hoft
On October 22,2022, Tucker Carlson invited Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake on his top-rated nightly cable news show.
During the discussion, Tucker, who was genuinely impressed with Kari Lake as he was with Republican senatorial candidate Blake Masters, told his audience, “If the election is fair, Kari Lake is going to win.”
Well, the Arizona election was not fair. Up to 60 percent of voting centers in Maricopa County had machines that were not working, lines to vote were 4 hours long, hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots were not checked for signatures, over 300,000 ballots had no chain of custody, and Democrats won over 50 percent of the Election Day ballots in Maricopa County following Election Day despite having only 16.6% of the turnout on Election Day.
UNBELIEVABLE: Electoral Court in Brazil to Investigate Bolsonaro; LEFTIST JUDGE ACCEPTS REQUESTS OF SOCIALIST LULA DA SILVA – PRESIDENT’S ALLIES SAY THE OBJECTIVE IS TO ARREST BOLSONARO! By Fernando de Castro
The Superior Electoral Court minister, Benedito Gonçalves, has decided to open an investigation against Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
Mr. Gonçalves was appointed to the Court by Lula in 2008 and he responded to a request from the Workers’ Party, a far-left aggregation that will return to power in 2023.
Bolsonaro is accused of committing electoral crimes, but the evidence presented against him, and his allies is dubious and false.
The Workers’ Party is accused of plotting to arrest Bolsonaro after he leaves the presidency in January.
The president and his vice president in the race for re-election, General Braga Netto, have been accused of abuse of political and economic power for granting social benefits to poor families during the campaign.
Leftists also accuse Bolsonaro of committing fake news and attacks against the electoral system for questioning the transparency of elections held in electronic ballot boxes with a system like the one used by Dominion Voting Systems.
Allies of the conservative president say that the intention of the leftists is to arrest Jair Bolsonaro when he leaves the presidency.
Demonstrators are still trying to invalidate the election results and are holding demonstrations in front of military barracks daily.
But there is still no concrete information about any military reaction against the election result that put far-left socialist Lula da Silva as the new president of Brazil for the third time.
BREAKING: Tension Builds as Rumors That If Troops Are Going to Move in Brazil, It’s Going to Be This Week [12:22] By Joe Hoft
There are rumblings coming out of Brazil that the military is looking restless and potentially preparing for some sort of response to the 2022 Election in the country.
This evening, Mathew Tyrmand appeared with Steve Bannon on War Room, and said that if the military is going to make a move it is likely going to be this week.
We have learned that the enemies of Brazil’s President Bolsonaro are dressing up as Bolsonaro followers and doing things that Bolsonaro supporters would never do. This is similar to reports of left-wing communists in the US who showed up at the US Capitol on Jan 6 dressed as Trump supporters.
KESHEL: Pretty Obvious Raffensperger Is A Trojan Horse Political Arsonist Sent To Destroy Georgia’s Elections L Todd Wood
“A little bird told us Raffensperger is pushing for RCV because the courts are about to hold that GA voting machines are unconstitutional…”
We’ve been calling out GA Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s nefarious behavior regarding Georgia elections at The Georgia Record for several years now.
Captain Seth Keshel is right by declaring — “Pretty obvious Raffensperger is a Trojan Horse Political Arsonist sent to destroy Georgia’s elections.” — on his Telegram channel yesterday.
We have detailed in-depth Raffenspergers attempts to destroy the chance for Georgians to have a verifiable ballot.
We have detailed interesting connections Raffensperger has to individuals with connections to the Chinese Communist Party. We have also conducted open records requests with these connections and the results came back 90% redacted, raising serious questions.
We have reported how it looks that Raffensperger’s 2022 primary election was fraudulent (and Kemp’s for that matter).
We have reported on how Raffensperger wants to illegally put the GA voter registration system in the cloud for possible electronic manipulation.
We have reported on Raffensperger’s strange behavior regarding Dominion election machines in 2019.
We’ve reported on Raffensperger enabling a corrupt GA general election in 2020 and the consequent runoff.
We’ve reported on Raffensperger’s attempts to make it look like he is actually fighting election fraud in GA.
We’ve provided extensive research on the corruption in GA elections under Brad Raffensperger, detailing his nefarious behavior.
Now Raffensperger wants ‘rank choice voting’ in Georgia, so America First candidates can be frozen out of ever winning again, like what just happened in Alaska.
A little bird told us Raffensperger is pushing for RCV because the courts are about to hold that GA voting machines are unconstitutional as they don’t provide a verifiable ballot, something that was decided in the ‘Curling vs Raffensperger’ case but relief was never provided to GA citizens.
If the GA legislators vote to allow this, they need to be recalled.
The Georgia Record will be contacting every GA legislator to get comment on the issue and posting their comments publicly over the next few weeks.
Yes, Raffensperger is a corrupt plant to harm the great state of Georgia.
He is not a Republican, he is a collaborator.

Is Immunity Debt Real, or Should You Keep Kids in a Bubble? Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
Biggest ‘COVID Regret’ Mistake, Aside From Taking the Vaccine
Millions acted out of the best intentions, but trusting this ‘bubble science’ could have unintended long-term consequences (including asthma, allergies and worse), which will make your blood boil. What can you do to mitigate them?
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- Children who aren’t exposed to germs on a regular basis have different microbiomes than those who are. The microbiome, in turn, plays a decisive role in how well one’s immune system works
- Exposure to nonpathogenic microorganisms helps prevent immune-mediated chronic disorders, as they act as immunomodulatory signaling agents. They basically train your immune system to function normally and not react excessively or unnecessarily
- There’s also evidence suggesting that certain childhood infections may reduce your risk of certain chronic illnesses. Measles infection, for example, could potentially lower your risk of cancer in the future
- In August 2021, a French group of pediatric infectious disease experts warned that “immunity debt” caused by a lack of exposure to common viruses and bacteria during COVID lockdowns and school closures may predispose children to suffer more infections in the future
- The potential benefits of natural infections have fallen by the wayside as the single-minded focus on vaccination has taken over. We now see the medical industry trying to erase knowledge about the lifelong benefits associated with infections, especially childhood infections

Ted Belman: Ben Gvir: The Attorney General’s job to is to advise, she cannot give me orders
“The Attorney General and her predecessors think that the politicians should make a pilgrimage to them and ask for their highness’s approval,” he said. “I’m not prepared for that, I’m not subordinate to the Attorney General, she advises. Does she want to advise me? Gladly. Does she want to give me instructions? Not on my watch. I was elected by the public.”
Ben Gvir: ‘The day camp for terrorists in jail has to stop”
“The ‘giving in’ to security prisoners’ demands by senior authorities in the defense establishment is disturbing and raises questions regarding Israel’s security situation. Giving in and showing weakness strengthens terror and encourages it. Only determination, standing strong against terror, and worsening the conditions in prisons, will bring deterrence. The summer camp for terrorists in the jails needs to stop.”
Following Wednesday’s heated discussion at the Committee to amend the Police Ordinance Law, designated National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said in a private conversation, “The police force doesn’t want me to control its budget. I insist on controlling the budget to prevent waste on the commissioner’s part.”
According to a report in Israel Hayom, Ben Gvir added that he has been apprised of the details of the police budget. “The Commissioner demanded four Black Hawk helicopters, to be available for his personal use. With all due respect, there’s no need for it. He can travel by car; he doesn’t need a helicopter. And there are many other items that are simply wasteful. I prefer to use those funds to increase officers’ salaries and to fund new police stations.”
Ben-Gvir also noted that, “A Black Hawk costs around $12 million whereas there are smaller helicopters which cost just two million shekels. If the Commissioner wishes to fly, he can buy one of them instead.”

“Risk Of Flight Too Great” – Bankman-Fried Denied Bail, Remanded To Custody BY TYLER DURDEN
Update (1700ET): Following his arrest last night, with its expectations of an imminent deportation, Sam Bankman-Fried told a Bahamian judge at an arraignment Tuesday that he wouldn’t waive his right to an extradition hearing.
A defense lawyer said Bankman-Fried planned to fight being sent to the US.
Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams called the case “one of the biggest financial frauds in American history” and said the investigation of the alleged scheme is “very much ongoing.”
Which may explain why presiding judge JoyAnn Ferguson-Pratt denied SBF’s bail application, highlighting his “risk of flight” and ordered the crypto executive to be held in custody at the Bahamas Department of Corrections until Feb. 8.
The case has been adjourned to the said date.
Biden Pledges $350 Billion to Africa But God Only Knows Where It Will End Up By Joe Hoft
Biden spoke to a group of African leaders and promised the US would send $350 billion to the African continent.
Biden’s proposal was not backed with many specifics and there was no mention of how the US was going to pay for it.
During his remarks, Mr. Biden announced a $350 billion investment from the U.S. to ensure people across Africa can participate in the digital economy. Mr. Biden offered few details about the investment beyond saying that he will ask Congress to secure funding and it will involve both federal and private sector partnerships.
Biden pledged $8 Billion to South Africa in an effort to stop the mining of coal in the country. This is one area where he was more specific. Grabien pointed this out from Biden’s speech:
“These MCC investments are part of the work we’re doing worldwide through the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment. I proposed this initiative together with the rest of the G7 to help fill the need for quality high-standard infrastructure in Africa and the low-income and middle-income countries around the world. At the G-7 meeting earlier this year, we announced our intention to collectively mobilize $600 billion in the next five years. Today’s announcement joined a portfolio of Partnership for Global Infrastructure Investment projects already underway in Africa, including mobilizing $8 billion in public and private finance to help South Africa replace coal-fired power plants with renewable energy sources and develop cutting edge energy solutions like clean hydrogen, a deal worth $2 billion to build solar energy projects in Angola, $600 million high-speed communications cables that will connect southeast Asia to Europe via Egypt and the Horn of Africa and help bring high-speed internet connectivity to countries all along the way.”

Belgium’s Energy Suicide? by Drieu Godefridi
December 15, 2022 at 5:00 am
- Security of energy supply seems, for some officials, to be an abstract concept. It is anything but. In practice, when energy security is not guaranteed, it means blackouts and an explosion in energy costs, as well as, for many, having to choose between “heat or eat”.
- When energy costs become insane — even higher than neighboring countries — industrial companies stops investing. Then they stop maintaining the existing productive apparatus. In the end, they leave the country.
- Since the invasion of Ukraine, Belgium is the only Western country that has shut down a fully operational nuclear reactor… The closure of a second nuclear reactor, under exactly the same conditions, and without the slightest operational alternative, is planned for the beginning of 2023.
- Most of the major environmentalist organizations have been actively supported and financed by the Russian Federation, with Russia hoping that if they could discourage the West from developing energy sources, the West would turn to Russia for energy imports — as it did. This financial support did not have to be direct: it was enough to create “environmental foundations”, headed by the leaders of the major environmental organizations, and massively financed by Moscow.
- The current Belgian Minister of Energy… was a 50% partner in the law firm BLIXT, which represented, in Belgium, the interests of Russia’s state-controlled Gazprom, the country’s main energy company.
- Voters have eyes to see their dwindling bank accounts and their 17-degree living rooms in the winter. Belgian voters see the winter bristling with looming blackouts, leading to darkness and cold. They also see unemployment and the accelerated disappearance of their savings.
- There is an overwhelming majority in the Chamber to repeal the 2003 law on the destruction of Belgian civil nuclear power. The repeal would allow the government to enter into serious negotiations with ENGIE-Electrabel for the extension of the entire Belgian nuclear power system. The government could then decide whether or not to allocate massive investments in the construction of new nuclear reactors, after the example of what has recently been approved in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Sweden.
- Is it not high time for a new parliamentary majority, supported by an overwhelming majority of the Belgian population, to accept the responsibility to avoid returning to “the cold and the dark”?

Russia: US air defense systems could be targets in Ukraine By Associated Press
Pentagon: U.S. is “not going to allow comments from Russia to dictate the security assistance that we provide to Ukraine.”
Russia’s Foreign Ministry warned Thursday that if the U.S. delivers sophisticated air defense systems to Ukraine, those systems and any crews that accompany them would be a “legitimate target” for the Russian military, a blunt threat that was quickly rejected by Washington.
The exchange of statements reflected soaring Russia-U.S. tensions amid the fighting in Ukraine, which is now in its 10th month.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the U.S. had “effectively become a party” to the war by providing Ukraine with weapons and training its troops. She added that if reports about U.S. intentions to provide Kyiv with Patriot surface-to-air missile system prove true, it would become “another provocative move by the U.S.” and broaden its involvement in the hostilities, “entailing possible consequences.”
“Any weapons systems supplied to Ukraine, including the Patriot, along with the personnel servicing them, have been and will remain legitimate priority targets for the Russian armed forces,” Zakharova declared.
Asked about the Russian warning, Pentagon spokesman Air Force Gen. Pat Ryder responded that the U.S. was “not going to allow comments from Russia to dictate the security assistance that we provide to Ukraine.” [Emphasis added]

Kremlin Vows To Take Out Patriot Batteries If US Sends To Ukraine BY TYLER DURDEN
Russia has responded Wednesday to the prior day report from Pentagon sources that the Biden administration is finalizing plans to send Patriot anti-air defense missiles to Ukraine, in what will constitute the longest range defense systems transferred from the West to date.
“The Kremlin said on Wednesday that U.S. Patriot missile defense systems would be a legitimate target for Russian strikes against Ukraine, should the United States authorize them to be delivered to support Kyiv,” Reuters reports.
jhThe Russian military has long sought to target both Western arms depots inside Ukraine, as well as inbound shipments traversing the country, which is part of the reason why early on in the invasion it heavily targeted the national rail network.
Deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev posted the following warning statement directed at the US to his Telegram account (machine translation):
“If, as Stoltenberg hinted, NATO supplies Kyiv fanatics with Patriot complexes along with NATO personnel, they will immediately become a legitimate target of our Armed Forces. I hope the Atlantean impotents understand this.”
TYRANNY / TOTALITARIANISM

Ron Paul: Mother Of All Economic Crises Will Lead To “Social Unrest & Violence” Authored by Ron Paul via The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity,
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.
Pro-Life Nurse Sues Biden Administration Over “Illegal Abortions” For Veterans’ Families By ProTrumpNews Staff
After the Supreme Court’s abortion decision, the Biden Administration made a new rule to have Veteran Affairs facilities provide abortion services for veterans and their beneficiaries.
The rule described abortion as “essential health care.”
On Sept. 9, VA published its Interim Final Rule announcing that VA facilities would “immediately” begin providing a range of abortion services for veterans and their beneficiaries.
According to the new Biden administration rule, abortion is “essential health care” and will be provided as a service by VA staff “just as counseling is offered or covered by VA regarding any other health care decision.”
Stephanie Carter, a Texas nurse at a Department of Veterans Affairs medical facility has now sued over this policy. Carter said that the new rule violated her religious beliefs – she said those beliefs prohibit her from providing abortion services and counseling that is required by the policy.
The lawsuit seeks to block the policy from being enforced at Olin E. Teague Veterans’ Center in Temple, Texas.
