New Book Takes a Hard Look at How Hedge Funds Have Designed Trades to Tap into the Fed’s Money Spigot
By Pam Martens and Russ Martens
February 2, 2022
As we reported on Monday, there’s a new book out from Simon & Schuster with the provocative title: The Lords of Easy Money: How the Federal Reserve Broke the American Economy. The book, written by bestselling author Christopher Leonard, is sprinkled with eye popping revelations – particularly in regard to how hedge funds have been able to effectively mint billions by designing trades to take advantage of the Fed’s repo bailouts and quantitative easing.
Quantitative easing (QE) is a scheme launched by former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke, beginning in November 2008. QE means that the New York Fed, through its open markets desk, buys up Treasury securities and federal-agency-backed Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) from its 24 primary dealers. The Fed’s purchases of tens of billions of dollars a month of these securities creates artificial demand that would not otherwise exist, thus lowering the interest rates these securities need to offer, which also puts downward pressure on the interest rates of other debt instruments. This helps to sustain the Fed’s zero-bound interest rate policy on its benchmark rate, the Fed Funds rate. Bernanke promoted the plan as a way to lift asset prices and get the economy growing again after the debilitating effects of the 2008 crash. It’s been the go-to plan of the Fed ever since whenever Wall Street needs a bailout.
Interestingly, a zero-bound interest rate policy has also bailed out the hundreds of trillions of dollars (notional or face amount) of derivatives that Wall Street’s megabanks have waged with questionable counterparties that might, or might not, be able to pay up on the trades if they went sour.
Unfortunately, the dark side of QE, as cleverly detailed in layman’s terms in Leonard’s book, is that it has created a desperate struggle for yield by American savers, pension funds and other typically risk-adverse investors. The book makes the point that the long-term goal of QE was, in fact, to make saving money and expecting to earn a decent interest rate on it a fool’s errand year after year, thus forcing millions of people into riskier and riskier areas of investment, which has led to the unprecedented bubble in markets that we find ourselves in today – with no reliable exit plan by the Fed.
The Fed conducted all of these QE trades with its primary dealers, the vast majority of which are broker-dealers, meaning the trading houses on Wall Street. Most of the broker-dealers have affiliates that are commercial banks that could actually lend to the real economy, but the broker-dealers themselves are the casinos that are trading with the hedge funds.
The man behind QE, former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke, is the same man who oversaw the secret $29 trillion bailout of Wall Street during and after the 2008 crash, fought the U.S. media for more than two years to keep the details of that bailout a secret, and then took a job at hedge fund, Citadel, after retiring from the Fed.
In describing what was happening behind the scenes as QE ramped up, Leonard writes:
“The primary dealers were not just selling the Treasury bills and mortgage bonds that they happened to have on hand. If that had been the case, it would have limited how much money the Fed could have pushed into the banking system (even the primary dealers only had a finite amount of such assets on hand). Instead, the Fed set up a conveyor belt of sorts, which used the primary dealers as middlemen. The conveyor belt began outside the Fed, with hedge funds that were not primary dealers. These hedge funds could borrow money from a big bank, buy a Treasury bill, and then have a primary dealer sell that Treasury bill to the Fed for new cash. In this way, the hedge funds could borrow and buy billions of dollars in bonds, and sell them to the Fed for a profit. Once the conveyor belt was up and running, it began magically transforming bonds into cash….”

GDP Now Is Flashing Stagflation, Maybe Recession
By John Rubino
February 2, 2022
Conventional wisdom holds that the U.S. economy is overheating. New workers are virtually unavailable, raw material costs are soaring, and of course financial asset prices are in the stratosphere. And that’s why the Fed has to tighten aggressively.
This is a compelling argument since most of the stats backing it are real.
However … all of the above might soon become obsolete in the face of dramatically slowing growth. The jury is still out, but the latest reading on the Atlan ta Fed’s GDPNow real-time growth measure is pretty grim.
The blue line on the following chart represents the consensus of top economists, while the green line is GDPNow’s growth rate based on the most recent numbers. The latter is brutal, as close to zero as it’s possible to get. But – much more important – even the higher consensus growth rate is too low for the “overheating” thesis. And it’s trending down.
Part of this sudden reversal of economic fortune is due to the US Q4 GDP report being mostly hot air, inflated as it was by a massive inventory build which will detract from rather than contribute to future growth. See Mike Shedlock’s GDP Up 6.9% Is Mostly An Artificially Boosted Illusion. https://bit.ly/3gffzS6
The upshot: Economic spirits might change dramatically in the next few months, with corresponding changes in interest rates, stock prices, and all the rest. Strap in!

Covid War Ending – Gerald Celente
By Greg Hunter
On January 29, 2022
Renowned trends researcher and publisher of “The Trends Journal,” Gerald Celente, boldly predicted back in April 2021, “We are going to start seeing a big anti-vax movement.” He was spot on. Now, Celente has another bold prediction: “The Covid War is coming to an end.” Celente explains, “On the virus, my forecast is the Covid war is going to end. Wind down, I should say significantly, by the end of March to mid-April. The new fear they are going to be selling after that is climate change.”
The wind down of Covid is really financial necessity. Celente says, “It’s killing businesses. New York City is a dead town. One after another you look at the places going out of business, and they are getting push back now. They can’t go on with this anymore. . . . They are killing the hospitality business, the restaurant business, they are all going down. They can’t go on like this, and they need the tax money. Politicians never work a day in their lives, so they need the money coming in.”
On the economic front, Celente predicted months ago that the Fed would be forced to raise rates. Now, the official inflation rate is 7%. The Fed is going to raise rates to fight inflation. Celente says, “Here is our forecast. This is a Paul Volker 2.0. You go back to 1982 and inflation was skyrocketing. They dramatically raised interest rates to stop it. (The Fed Funds Rate hit 20% under Volker’s plan.) So, they stopped inflation. They also dragged down the economy. . . . The markets are going to go down. . . . I don’t see a crash, at this point, in real estate.”
Celente also says oil could keep rising and inflation too. Celente says, “They are going to have to keep raising interest rates more and more to fight inflation, and if that keeps going, that’s when it will collapse. If inflation keeps going up and they have to raise rates much beyond the 2% mark, it’s over.”
Celente also gives his take on what is going on in Ukraine, and it’s not flattering to the Biden Administration. Celente talks about many other top trends as well.

Ray DiLorenzo: COVID Vaccine Secrets
By Ray DiLorenzo
January 29, 2022
“The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be Ruled by Evil men.” - PLATO
History will show that COVID-19 was the catalyst that either destroyed the most powerful country that ever existed or caused that nation’s people to come to terms with the reality of its government, choosing to oppose it. History will soon tell us which will prevail.
COVID-19 is not a naturally occurring virus that went mad.
The Gates foundation admits investing $1.75 billion to the COVID vaccine’s development and distribution
I came across a video that the globalists are desperately trying to purge from the internet. By the time you read this article, it will probably be gone. In the video, Fauci explains the normal process of producing a vaccine and the process they undertook to get a ‘vaccine’ for COVID-19. It reveals much.
A brief history first: Patents for the Coronavirus have been around since 1999 with Dr. Ralph Baric. In 2002, the virus was seen as exploitable. On April 25, 2003, the CDC saw an opportunity from a virus that can be easily manipulated or artificially adapted to infect humans (gain of function). They filed a patent on the Coronavirus transmitted to humans, its detection and measuring, a potential gold mine. Since nature is prohibited from being patented, then it must be a manufactured virus. If it is a manufactured virus then it must also be illegal, against international law and treaties as a bioweapon. In 2007, the CDC requested that the application be kept confidential. Between 2003 and 2018, Anthony Fauci, Ralph Baric and the CDC were at the hub of control of the virus, controlling 100% of the cash flow from the coronavirus arms race. In a moment of clarity, between 2012 and 2013 the federal funding for research was halted, but those involved were authorized to keep going. In other words, off-shore the research…fund it through a series of cover organizations. The Gates foundation admits investing $1.75 billion to the COVID vaccine’s development and distribution. Enter the recipient, Wuhan Lab, Wuhan, China.
Going back to the video…rather than take the chance of including the video and the reader coming up with nothing when clicking the link, I decided to give the reader a close synopsis of what Fauci said. I’ve done my best to give it to you word for word:
Fauci’s word
“Vaccines, to be safe and effective, take 5,6,7 years to develop. That is unacceptable for now.
As soon as we got the sequence of the virus from the Chinese we pulled it out of the public database and worked on it within a day of when it came out. Sixty-five days later we gave the first injection to a normal volunteer for phase 1 trial to see if it is safe. That’s the fastest it’s ever been done. That’s the good news.
The challenging news [or bad news] is even at that rocket speed, it’s going to take a few months to show that the initial safety is ok.
Then you go into a phase 2 trial which, instead of involving 45 people which we had in the 1st trial, it involves hundreds, if not, thousands of people. That can take 6 - 8 months to even know if it works. So, the fastest we can go is a year to a year and a half to know if we have a vaccine we can use.
There’s another element of safety. That is, if you vaccinate someone and they make an antibody response and then they get exposed and infected…does the response that you induce actually enhance the infection and make it worse? And the only way you’ll know that is if you do an extended study… not in a normal volunteer who has no risk of infection, but in people who are out there in a risk situation.”
America, I introduce to you the COVID-19 vaccine with an Emergency Use Authorization
Everyone who took the jab is taking part in a trial. Billions of people who trusted the medical profession are now lab rats with scientists waiting for the results. Where those vaccinated people will be in a year, 5 years, 10 years, no one knows. All for a disease with a better than 99% chance of survival with therapeutics we already have.
It has now been shown by scientists and doctors that the COVID-19 vaccine is dangerous. It degrades and suppresses the immune system and can actually exacerbate any medical condition the recipient may have, cancer, heart disease, vascular disease, etc. In other words, the vaccines are designed to hide while bringing out any weakness in the host so as not to blame the vaccine.
There are many eminent scientists, doctors, scientific writers, and religious leaders, who have studied the results of the vaccine and the vaccine itself. They now believe they can show that the vaccines are a bio-weapon, that life-saving treatments were deliberately withheld, that doctors, nurses, medical experts, scientists, and journalists were censored, that Fauci and others took advantage of a trusting President Trump and a manipulated, senile President Biden. All to further a massive societal change scheme to get us ready for The Great Reset.
Facebook, Twitter and others gave hundreds of millions of dollars to the Democrat Party to defeat Trump, censor opposition, and push an ineffective, immune degrading, gene altering, COVID vaccine.
The Democrat Party (DNC) has destroyed our economy, restricted our movement, and inhibited millions of families the ability to provide for their families, causing inescapable debt. They have bought ‘approval’ of their policies with billions of dollars in COVID aid to the medical profession, pharmaceutical companies, teachers unions, multi-nationals, even China, causing an entire generation to stay home rather than work or go to school. It caused untold damage to small business, families and the future of millions of the young.
The vaccine mandates have destroyed whole industries. Our supply chain is in tatters. Many store shelves are empty
The DNC has rigged our political, judicial, and election system, corrupted both political parties to keep COVID alive, using the manufactured chaos to their political advantage.
They have caused our federal and local governmental agencies tasked to protect the American public from crime and violence to be corrupted. They have abused our trust.
Our healthcare system has been so perverted as to destroy its once envious and precious credibility. Patients are denied care if they do not agree to vaccination, with transplant patients being removed from waiting lists, condemning them to certain death.
Athletes of all ages, airline pilots, teachers, doctors, nurses, students, even reporters are collapsing where they stand or sit and are either dying or having to be hospitalized due to the jab. A Navy pilot recently crashed into the USS Vinson when he was struck suddenly by myocarditis, a frequent side-effect of the jab. The incident injured 7 sailors. With the help of a complicit media, our government is hiding the story.
The vaccine mandates have destroyed whole industries. Our supply chain is in tatters. Many store shelves are empty.
When will we see the obvious? When will we understand that a political party and a global cabal, eugenics adherents, have used a manufactured pandemic to rob us of our two-party democratic republic to establish a one-party tyrannical government?
COVID-19 was and remains a tool of those who would commit crimes against humanity, steal our great country…take from us our freedom, our moral, God-fearing culture and replace it with a vile combination of godless communism and fascism, forever perverting our republic and the world. May it never be.

A Government Study Shows that Wall Street Megabanks Have Dramatically Shifted their Derivative Exposure to Corporations
By Pam Martens and Russ Martens
January 27, 2022 ~
The last thing a volatile stock market needs right now is more surprises from the dark corners of Wall Street. Unfortunately, we can guarantee you that more surprises are coming in the way of uncleared derivatives blowing up on the balance sheets of publicly-traded corporations.
How do we know this? The information in the chart above comes from a study quietly released last July by the Office of Financial Research (OFR)( https://bit.ly/3KSNm1E ). That’s the federal agency that provides research to bank regulators to prevent systemic financial contagion from taking down the Wall Street megabanks and the U.S. economy in another replay of 2008.
What the study actually shows, however, is that neither Congress nor bank regulators have done anything meaningful to prevent derivatives from once again blowing up the world’s largest economy. Instead, the watchdogs have simply allowed a rearrangement of the deck shares on the Titanic. While Wall Street megabanks previously concentrated their counterparty risk with each other and foreign global banks, necessitating that the Fed had to bail out dodgy banks on foreign shores, they’ve now shifted their counterparty risk to corporations.
The study is silent on the names of these corporations. We contacted the lead author of the study yesterday asking for the industries these corporations were concentrated in and he chose to remain silent. The study is also silent on the names of the megabanks, but we already know from the quarterly reports from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency that JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Bank of America and Morgan Stanley control over 80 percent of all derivatives at all bank holding companies in America.
According to the OFR study:
“Compositional breakdowns between bank, non-bank financial and non-financial corporate counterparties in OTC derivative markets has dramatically changed since the financial crisis. Publicly available data indicate that the share of financial firms in aggregate bank exposures has decreased while the share of non-financial corporations has increased….”
Corporations on the hook for losses as counterparties to the Wall Street megabanks’ derivative trades didn’t just “increase.” It skyrocketed according to the red line in the above chart. And it skyrocketed in the most dangerous area of derivatives – those bilateral trades that are secret contracts between the bank and the corporation and are not cleared on any central clearinghouse. The OFR study confirms that there is no sunshine on these derivative trades, writing that they contributed to systemic risks during the 2008 financial crisis and “remain an area of limited visibility for regulators and policymakers.”
The OFR study puts the net credit exposure of these corporations to derivatives at more than $700 billion as of June 2020. And there is good reason to suspect that these are not plain-vanilla interest rate swaps. Those swaps are typically centrally-cleared. It’s the murkier derivatives like credit default swaps that remain uncleared at central clearinghouses and that’s what the OFR study is looking at.
When a century-old conservative corporation has to report a big loss from a stupid derivatives trade with a big Wall Street bank – which always has an informational advantage on who’s going to lose on the trade (think Goldman Sachs shorting their own subprime debt bombs) – it harms the corporation’s reputation and share price. Investors don’t know how many more secret derivative trades are hiding out on the corporation’s balance sheet and just how stupid management is when it comes to entering into derivative contracts with Wall Street.

Mysterious energy source unlike anything astronomers have seen before
By International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research
January 26, 2022
An artist's impression of what the object might look like if it's a magnetar. Magnetars are incredibly magnetic neutron stars, some of which sometimes produce radio emission. Known magnetars rotate every few seconds, but theoretically, "ultra-long period magnetars" could rotate much more slowly. Credit: ICRAR.
A team mapping radio waves in the universe has discovered something unusual that releases a giant burst of energy three times an hour, and it's unlike anything astronomers have seen before.
The team that discovered it think it could be a neutron star or a white dwarf—collapsed cores of stars—with an ultra-powerful magnetic field. Spinning in space, the strange object sends out a beam of radiation that crosses Earth's line of sight, and for one minute in every 20, is one of the brightest radio sources in the sky.
Astrophysicist Dr. Natasha Hurley-Walker, from the Curtin University node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research, led the team that made the discovery. "This object was appearing and disappearing over a few hours during our observations," she said. "That was completely unexpected. It was kind of spooky for an astronomer because there's nothing known in the sky that does that. And it's really quite close to us—about 4,000 light-years away. It's in our galactic backyard."
The object was discovered by Curtin University Honors student Tyrone O'Doherty using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) telescope in outback Western Australia and a new technique he developed. "It's exciting that the source I identified last year has turned out to be such a peculiar object," said Mr O'Doherty, who is now studying for a Ph.D. at Curtin. "The MWA's wide field of view and extreme sensitivity are perfect for surveying the entire sky and detecting the unexpected."

Objects that turn on and off in the universe aren't new to astronomers—they call them transients. ICRAR-Curtin astrophysicist and co-author Dr. Gemma Anderson said, "When studying transients, you're watching the death of a massive star or the activity of the remnants it leaves behind."
Slow transients like supernovae might appear over the course of a few days and disappear after a few months. Fast transients, like a type of neutron star called a pulsar, flash on and off within milliseconds or seconds. But Dr. Anderson said finding something that turned on for a minute was really weird. She said the mysterious object was incredibly bright and smaller than the sun, emitting highly-polarized radio waves—suggesting the object had an extremely strong magnetic field.
Dr. Hurley-Walker said the observations match a predicted astrophysical object called an ultra-long period magnetar. "It's a type of slowly spinning neutron star that has been predicted to exist theoretically," she said. "But nobody expected to directly detect one like this because we didn't expect them to be so bright. Somehow it's converting magnetic energy to radio waves much more effectively than anything we've seen before."

Dr. Hurley-Walker is now monitoring the object with the MWA to see if it switches back on. "If it does, there are telescopes across the Southern Hemisphere and even in orbit that can point straight to it," she said.
Dr. Hurley-Walker plans to search for more of these unusual objects in the vast archives of the MWA. "More detections will tell astronomers whether this was a rare one-off event or a vast new population we'd never noticed before," she said.
MWA director, Professor Steven Tingay, said the telescope is a precursor instrument for the Square Kilometre Array—a global initiative to build the world's largest radio telescopes in Western Australia and South Africa. "Key to finding this object, and studying its detailed properties, is the fact that we have been able to collect and store all the data the MWA produces for almost the last decade at the Pawsey Research Supercomputing Centre. Being able to look back through such a massive dataset when you find an object is pretty unique in astronomy," he said. "There are, no doubt, many more gems to be discovered by the MWA and the SKA in coming years."
The Murchison Widefield Array is located on the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory in Western Australia. The observatory is managed by CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, and was established with the support of the Australian and Western Australian Governments. We acknowledge the Wajarri Yamatji as the traditional owners of the observatory site.

Financial Cycle Down, War Cycle Up – Charles Nenner
By Greg Hunter
On January 26, 2022
Renowned geopolitical and financial cycle expert Charles Nenner says his cycle analysis shows the highs are in for the stock market, and it’s downhill from here—way downhill. Nenner’s analysis show major support was breached at the beginning of 2022. Nenner explains, “If it closes below the trend line, you better get out of the stock market, and it did. Now, in January, it has closed much lower that all the quarterly lows. This is not making lows on a daily chart but a quarterly chart, and that is much more important than short term. . . . I did a report about how many stocks are in an uptrend and how many stocks are in a down trend. I think 50% is already in a bear market. There are just a few stocks that are holding up the market, like . . . Microsoft, Apple, Google. I looked into what the earnings are . . . it was clear they are never going to sustain those prices. . . . I think 1% of the stocks are holding up 40% of the S&P. Once they give in, the markets go down. A lot of people have already lost a lot of money because most stocks do not perform anymore. I think we are very close, and my target is still 5,000 (on the DOW). It seems very farfetched, but it you just do the math. . . . The media will not help you. They will invite you if you talk about markets going up because the companies that want to advertise with them want to sell. So, very few companies like to talk about stocks going up and do not care if it goes up or down. We just tell you the truth.” Nenner says he and his clients are out of the stock market since the first of the year.
Nenner does cycle work for oil, the dollar, Bitcoin, interest rates and the bond market, to name a few. Nenner says interest rates have hit their lows and “are going up for the next thirty years.” Nenner thinks gold will be going up to at least $2,500 per ounce, but it has a short while before it starts moving up. Nenner says the only market investors should be long is the commodity markets. Commodities are going to go up for years to come, according to Nenner’s cycle work.
No cycle is more important to Nenner these days than the “War Cycle.” Nenner does not see a war with Russia, but he expects after the Winter Olympics in China, things are going to turn dramatically more intense with the CCP. Nenner says, “I think the big problem after the Olympics is going to be China. . . . nobody is going to do anything against China, and I think they are going to take over Taiwan. If the West is going to fight, then we have major war.”

Kunstler: A Real American Hero
By James Howard Kunstler
January 24, 2022
Wonder much about the eerie blank demeanor of Erin Burnett, who delivers the 7:00 o’clock news on CNN? I sure do. It’s a creepy kind of fraught blankness, like what the Vietnam grunts used to call the thousand-mile stare, denoting their guilty involvement in a morally odious enterprise. Of course, one must follow CNN in order to discern what fresh bullshit the governing regime is serving up day-to-day from its steam-table of perfidy and bad faith. Does the lady hate her job that much? Or does that farbissiner face signify mere simmering contempt for the audience of deplorable elderly gorks receiving said bullshit over their pitiful TV trays of Ensure on Froot Loops? Or maybe a miniature Donald Trump lives in her head dressed in a little red devil suit with horns, stabbing her parietal lobes with his tiny pitchfork?
Seeing as how Ms. Burnett is the mouthpiece for the Progressive Woke news media in the primest evening slot, does that glowering visage represent the peculiar joylessness of the political Left, a movement steeped in a special kind of shame induced by the irritating failure of its ideas to comport with reality? This is the joylessness of people bunkered too deep in anomie to even find pleasure in their own sadism. Thus, the hint of bored indignation: how dare you not believe the bullshit I am delivering on behalf of your betters… who know what’s good for you?
Or maybe the girl is just on quaaludes.
Anyway, nothing serves as a better barometer of how things are going in the struggle over the fate of this tortured land than Erin Burnett’s scowling puss. And where is this country going? I will tell you: straight into a dark passage of the profoundest political discord, an epochal nightmare of loss and death brought on, it begins to seem, deliberately, by the folks in charge. They are being found out, and the fact that they remain in charge spells ever more obvious danger among all concerned as the truth of their crimes emerges.
Sunday, at the March Against Mandates in our nation’s capital, the resistance to Covid vaccine tyranny laid it out, none with plainer eloquence than Bobby Kennedy:
"We love the United States Constitution. And we have witnessed over the past 20 months a coup d’etat against democracy and the demolition, the controlled demolition of the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And starting with the censorship. James Madison, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson all said the same thing: we put freedom of speech in the first amendment because all of the other rights that we were trying to protect relied on that right. If you give government the license to silence its critics, you have given them the capacity to commit any atrocity they want, and to obliterate all the amendments and rights in the constitution."
The message is getting through and the tyrants are running scared. They are perhaps having bad dreams involving torches and pitchforks. Naturally CNN took the lead in attempting to defame Mr. Kennedy as an anti-Semite for mentioning the name of Anne Frank in alluding to the Nazi insanity of the last century and people’s desperate efforts to escape it. CNN said:
"The son of former Attorney General and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy has a long history of spreading vaccine misinformation…. Sunday’s event, billed as a protest against vaccine mandates, featured speakers repeatedly spreading misinformation about vaccines and showcased several bigoted comparisons to the Holocaust. At least one man was seen displaying a yellow Star of David, which Jews were required by law to wear as an identifier in Nazi Germany."
So, wearing a Star of David now makes you an insurrectionist in the twisted logic of Wokery. How stupid and confused are they? Anyway, heroes emerge out of adversity. Let them pile it on, insulting history and reality. In fact, Bobby Kennedy stood in the cold at the Lincoln Memorial as a heroic figure for these times, giving a speech that carefully and succinctly denoted the stupendous criminality of the US public health bureaucracy and the corporate-government fascist partnership with Pharma Inc. that has poisoned hundreds of millions of Americans in a medical experiment that has only begun to kill possibly more people than the Nazis ever dreamed of murdering. There has not been a more important public utterance in this land than RFK Jr.’s since this century began.
Meanwhile, the Covid tyranny collapses across Western Civ. Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the UK tossed his country’s entire Covid restriction program into the dumpster last week as the truth about vaccine failure and injuries became impossible to avoid. The Czech Republic and Ireland followed. France made noises about lifting her policies in February. For now, Germany and Austria remained locked-into their Teutonic obedience neurosis, but how much longer can that last? Or does it finally break up the EU? Large street protests rocked European cities Sunday, too. The vaccines have lost their credibility as sacred totems against the accelerating chaos in the advanced nations of the world, who stand to lose the very advancements in prosperity, comfort, and convenience they enjoyed in the centuries of energy super-abundance.
What awaits now is mayhem in the financial markets, the banking system, and national currencies — underway even as you read this. It’s not enough that the people of Western Civ have been battered by a contrived assault on their physical health; now they’ll watch themselves go broke and hungry. Maybe even the monsters of idiocy behind president “Joe Biden” can cook up a world-beating hypersonic war over a country we have next-to-zero national interest in just to make things perfect. I can’t wait to see the look on Erin Burnett’s face as the history of the future unspools.

Vax Die-Off for Next Three Years – Clif High
By Greg Hunter
On January 22, 2022
Clif High is an Internet data mining expert who uses “Predictive Linguistics” and computer programs to sort through billions of bits of information on the Internet to predict future trends and events. Some of his most disturbing trends he has spotted in his data analysis surround the CV19 vax. High is seeing the vax narrative breaking down. It may only be a matter of weeks before the restrictions and coerced injections are over, but that does not mean it’s clear sailing. According to High, the worst by far is yet to come. High explains, “So, it’s breaking down. The real horror is yet awaiting us, and that’s when all of the people who have been harmed by these injections wake up and realize they have been harmed and will have the natural emotions that accompany that.”
The CDC is now reporting a 40% increase in death totals for 2021. The reports are saying the huge increase is “unexplained.” High and many others say the CV19 injections explain it all, and it’s only going to get much harder to explain. High’s analysis says, “I think we are looking at three years here before it peaks: 2022, 2023 and 2024. There is a lot of stuff in the data that says 2024 will be the tail-off of it. So, we have a number of very rough years ahead of us. Each year in succession will have more people dying than the year before. There is also going to be more infirmities, more illness and more of a drain on the system. In this three years, we will take the globalists to task and hold them accountable for their crimes. We are going to have a ‘red pill’ moment that’s coming soon. It’s not going to take months. It’s not going to take weeks. It’s going to take a short period of time, and many of them are going to go ballistic. So, I expect frequent, irregular, episodic, periods of chaos. They won’t be lashing out at society at large. They will be lashing out at their abusers. . . . You will need to stand back. People will need to understand that there will be a section of the social order that is going to go crazy in anger, grief and all of this. These will be very violent reactions to having been poisoned, and some of them will be spectacularly so in terms of the violence of it. It’s not going to be wise to hang out around these elite guys.”
High’s analysis now says at least “30 million people will die from the CV19 injections” one way or another in the next few years, and that could be a very low estimate.
Clif High talks about many subjects including the so-called “financial reset,” China, Bitcoin, gold, silver (which High predicts will be more expensive that gold one day), the 2022 Election and why 28 Democrat Congressmen are not running for re-election, the crash of the financial system as we know it in 2022, the Petro dollar, inflation, why you need cash, and the Fed that High says is dying and the Fed knows it. That and a lot more in this one hour and ten-minute in-depth interview.

A Look at What Happened in 2018 When the Fed Raised Interest Rates Four Times
By Pam Martens and Russ Martens
January 24, 2022
(please note: The underlined words are 'clickable' links when accessed via the link at the bottom of this page)
Bloomberg News ran this headline over the weekend: “U.S. Stocks Historically Deliver Strong Gains in Fed Hike Cycles.”
For a reminder to our readers of what happened in 2018, the last time the Fed gently tapped its foot on the brake four times, we’ve listed below some of the headlines we ran in 2018 at Wall Street On Parade. The Fed was not at all aggressive with rate hikes in 2018: it gently raised the Fed Funds rate by a quarter of a point on March 22, June 14, September 27 and December 20.
But that was enough to deeply unsettle markets – particularly the megabanks on Wall Street. Consider these headlines and the details in the articles:
Yesterday’s Stock Market Plunge Saw Indiscriminate Dumping of Stocks
Wall Street Banks Tank Yesterday as Contagion Threat Grows
The Fed Gives Wall Street Banks Okay to Prop Up Their Stock Prices
Why Did Trump Just Bully the Federal Reserve on Interest Rates
The S&P 500 closed the year with a loss of 6.24 percent while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gave up 5.6 percent. Those were the largest losses in a decade and it was from just four gentle taps on the brake.
But the full year losses hardly capture the brutal sell off in the last quarter of the year. The S&P 500 plunged 13.97 percent while the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 11.8 percent. The Nasdaq went into a bungee dive in the fourth quarter, giving up 17.5 percent. The Nasdaq closed the full year down 3.9 percent.

Can the Fed Engineer a Soft Landing for the Biggest Bubble Since $12,000 Tulip Bulbs?
By Pam Martens and Russ Martens
January 21, 202
In her 2007 book, Tulipmania: Money, Honor, and Knowledge in the Dutch Golden Age, Anne Goldgar writes that a tulip bulb in 1637 sold for the equivalent of $12,000 in 2007 money. Now think about the tens of millions of dollars that were spent last year for one NFT. It’s pretty clear that Tulipmania has nothing on the Fed-induced Bubblemania that is currently in the early stages of The Great Unwind.
Goldgar points out that as historians have looked back, the tulip mania of the 1630s in Holland has become a “byword for idiocy.”
At least a tulip bulb is a thing of beauty that reblooms year after year. Bitcoin, called “rat poison squared” by Warren Buffett, one of the smartest investors of all time, is not a thing of beauty, has nothing backing it, and is currently in free fall. After trading as high as $69,355 in November on the CME’s futures market, its front month futures contract closed at $36,725 on the CME today, a dive of 47 percent from its previous high.
Bitcoin was supposed to be the digital replacement for gold – a safe haven in a financial selloff. But Bitcoin, which along with other crypto currencies can be leveraged by hedge funds on a 100 times to 1 basis, closed down 13.94 percent on the CME today while the tech and SPAC bubble known as the Nasdaq stock market, closed down 2.72 percent on the day.
In early July 2019, economist Nouriel Roubini effectively summed up Bitcoin as this era’s “byword for idiocy,” stating the following on Bloomberg News:
“Crypto currencies are not even currencies. They’re a joke…The price of Bitcoin has fallen in a week by how much – 30 percent. It goes up 20 percent one day, collapses the next. It is not a means of payment, nobody, not even this blockchain conference, accepts Bitcoin for paying for conference fees cause you can do only five transactions per second with Bitcoin. With the Visa system you can do 25,000 transactions per second…Crypto’s nonsense. It’s a failure. Nobody’s using it for any transactions. It’s trading one sh*tcoin for another sh*tcoin. That’s the entire trading or currency in the space where’s there’s price manipulation, spoofing, wash trading, pump and dumping, frontrunning. It’s just a big criminal scam and nothing else.”
Today’s unwinding bubble has plenty of folks attempting to pump air back into it as it deflates. Consider the crazy headline that ran at 9:49 a.m. this Tuesday at Bloomberg News. It read: “Tech Stocks Unravel While Banks Are Hot in 2022 Rotation.” The first paragraph of the article read: “Technology stocks are out of favor, while previously shunned bank shares are popular again, as a persistent jump in bond yields is turning markets upside down this year.”
We knew that was a crazy theory so we decided to chart it. (See below.) Since November 1, 2021, shares of Goldman Sachs (which became a bank holding company in 2008) have lost 17 percent; JPMorgan Chase, the biggest bank in the U.S., has lost almost 15 percent, while the tech-laden Nasdaq stock market is down 12 percent. Rotating out of Big Tech into Big Banks is like the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. You don’t trade one bubble for another bubble and find your way out of this corn maze of bubbles.

DiLorenzo: Money and Power The Abandoning of America
By Ray DiLorenzo
January 22, 2022
The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government. — Thomas Jefferson
It’s a bitter thing to realize that all the institutions you trusted through these many years have turned against you. It’s a hard place to be when these institutions and concerns, governmental, medical, educational, media, and multi-nationals have abandoned everything you believe in and everything on which the country was founded.
There are multi-billionaires, politicians, and oligarchs whose quest for power and riches overtake any form of loyalties
It’s even worse when you find that it was for the sake of money and power. It has become apparent that these institutions have sold out our country for mere cash, much of it Chinese cash. They say the quest for profit knows no ideology, but this is a new low. So much trust has been broken all around, especially concerning the health care industry.
There are multi-billionaires, politicians, and oligarchs whose quest for power and riches overtake any form of loyalties. Their myopic vision is only focused on themselves, the antithesis of the civic-minded servant. Guarantee them enduring power while retaining their riches, and you will have their ear(s). And that goes for politicians as well, both Republican and Democrat. Many would say, it’s only business, it’s nothing personal. Destroy a nation and it becomes very personal.
Aldous Huxley (1894-1963), English novelist, saw it clearly in 1958. He foresaw a profusion of power, those with more money and power than brains and sense, able to, as he put it, ‘shape and defy popular will.’ He saw democracies changing. He predicted: “The old quaint forms—elections, parliaments, Supreme Courts and all the rest will remain. The underlying substance will be a new kind of non-violent totalitarianism.” Could he have seen the birth of the Deep State, an out of control Big Tech… the form of a constitutional republic with an underlying, lurking fascist dictatorship?
But, Mr. Huxley was only partly right. It is no longer non-violent. He didn’t foresee a manufactured virus and its ‘vaccines’ for the purpose of killing millions of people to the same end. There is much talk of a Nuremberg 2.0 in the near future.
Globalists protecting the interests of the Chinese communists
The Biden family, Nancy Pelosi, Anthony Fauci, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, all protect their personal and business portfolios by protecting the interests of the Chinese communists. Mitch McConnell’s in-laws own a shipping company, carrying goods back and forth from China. Companies like Apple are heavily invested in China’s success. They just signed a $275 billion deal with China while dropping Taiwan, a long-time ally. America was never a consideration except as a customer.
Nearly 2 million Chinese Communist Party (CCP) members are on staff at universities, the world’s biggest companies, banks and government agencies all over the world. US companies are riddled with members of the CCP. There is nothing less than a mass infiltration as we speak. Boeing, Pfizer, Qualcomm have dozens of CCP members in their employ in their Chinese facilities. Other companies such as Volkswagen, AstraZeneca, banks like HSBC, all employ CCP members. Three female employees of the US consulate in Shanghai are CCP members. Diane Feinstein had a member of her staff belonging to the CCP for over 20 years. He was her chauffer. She claims she knew nothing. I bet he heard many a good conversation. This is the worst kind of diversity.
San Francisco has always been a hotbed of espionage activity. When President Trump closed the Russian consulate in 2017, smoke could be seen billowing out of the chimney, presumably to destroy evidence of their spying.
All members of the CCP swear an oath to fight for communism throughout their lives. Do you think members of the CCP employed by the US government and US companies report sensitive information to their contacts?
China’s Belt and Road Initiative, as China sells it, is an altruistic endeavor to help developing countries build and improve their infrastructure. Through grants and low to no-interest loans. They are now in 70 countries world-wide. Looking at it through a reality prism, one can envision the CCP looking at a map of the world and deciding which countries they would want and what infrastructure they would need in order to march in and appropriate.
Everyone in government and Wall Street has a financial interest in China whether they know it or not
Modern roads, highways, airports, seaports, would all be very useful to them. I’m sure it would be much easier to invade a country like Kenya. And if they use the port they built, drive through the entire country in a matter of hours instead of days on a highway system they built, all the better. And, of course, fly in supplies to the airports they built.
I have long suspected that the Chinese and the Democrat Party banded together to defeat President Trump. Each had their reasons. For the Democrats, 2020 was a win they had to have at any cost, even insurrection. For the Chinese it was to rid themselves of an antagonist that was eating their lunch. No other president came even close.
Everyone in government and Wall Street has a financial interest in China whether they know it or not, and has a vested interest in their success while ignoring ours. President Trump, for all his bad tweets, was reversing the trend. Trump was the anti-politician, more building than scheming. For too many in high places, America First was not going to stand.
A broken government will never fix itself. It will double down every time. The enemy has long since crossed the Rubicon. What is left is determining what America will do about it. In the world race for dominance, the oligarchs are offering the refreshment to China, not the USA. If America falls, do these domestic enemies really believe they will survive…even with all their money and fleeting glory?

America is Very Unstable – Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
By Greg Hunter
On January 19, 2022
International award-winning journalist and former Assistant Treasury Secretary Dr. Paul Craig Roberts (PCR) says data shows between CV19 policies and the policies surrounding Russia that “America is very unstable.” Let’s start with the NATO talks with Russia over Ukraine that broke down in a diplomatic disaster last week. There is the real possibility of nuclear war with Russia. Dr. Roberts explains, “The West is continually antagonizing Russia (Roberts is referring primarily to Ukraine, Georgia and Kazakhstan). This will eventually lead to some kind of conflict. If it is a conventional war, the West does not have a chance—no chance whatsoever. So, what would Washington do when it’s faced with a massive defeat? It would save face by resorting to nukes. That’s the way Washington is. So, it’s very dangerous. It’s extremely dangerous to make the Russians feel threatened, and when they tell you (Washington D.C) that, you ignore it. You don’t hear, and you make them feel more threatened. . . . This is just madness, and it opens up the prospects of military confrontation. I guarantee you that the Russians are not going to allow NATO to take in Ukraine and Georgia. They simply will not, and it cannot be done. . . . We are not prepared for military confrontation with Russia and much less with Russia and China.” Last week, the Russian government publicly said it thought the Biden Administration was having a “nervous breakdown,” which was intended as a huge insult.
The other huge problem is the CV19 policies with shutdowns and coerced experimental injections. Dr. Roberts says, “The whole Covid thing is a hoax. It’s all been for nothing, and it’s unnecessary, but they are sticking with it. They are sticking with it despite the fact that it is now conclusively proven that what the vaccine does is turn your own immune system into a weapon against your own body. The vaccine causes your immune system to attack your own vital organs. That’s why you have these vaccine injuries and deaths, and it does not protect you from Covid. . . . Yet, they still want to continue it. It’s another form of insanity.”
The biggest driver of a troubled economy and spiking inflation is none other than the Covid policies. Dr. Roberts points out, “The inflation is really reflecting the lockdowns and cessation of supply. . . . All of a sudden you have got shortages everywhere. How do people get things? You bid for it. You have to outbid . . . You can see the whole Covid policy is shrinking the ability of the economy to produce. That’s the problem.”
Dr. Roberts sees a “collapse of society” because the data is showing many will get sick or die because of the dangerous injections.
Dr. Roberts also says countries are turning away from the U.S. dollar and buying gold. That is very dollar negative, and it is not going to tame inflation–just the opposite.
What does Dr. Roberts see in the political future for the Democrats and the Biden Administration? Dr. Roberts says, “The Democrats have blown it, but if they can get away with blaming the unvaccinated for all the problems . . . they may be shielded. Democrats may also be shielded if they can force Russia to take some sort of decisive action. Then everybody has to rally around the President. . . . It’s very, very unstable, and there are reasons to leave the dollar if inflation is high.”

Headed for a Digital Concentration Camp – Catherine Austin Fitts
By Greg Hunter
On January 15, 2022
Catherine Austin Fitts (CAF), Publisher of The Solari Report and former Assistant Secretary of Housing (Bush 41 Admin.), says the central bankers want nothing short of “a complete digital control system.” CAF explains, “We have what we have been building for the last 20 or 30 years, and it’s getting much more obvious, but it’s been covert most of the time. They basically want digital control systems through the financial system, through the health system and government systems to implement control. That control is delivered one person at a time. You have extraordinary surveillance systems that have been built steadily for decades that are basically tracking everyone. . . . That’s why the ‘vaccine passports’ and ‘central bank digital currencies’ (CBDC) are so dangerous. It’s important to understand what they are trying to do. They are trying to create complete transaction control. If they don’t want you going five miles from your home, your electric car will not work more than five miles from your home. . . . If they don’t want you to buy pizza, your credit card will not allow you to buy pizza. They are talking about putting in extraordinary digital control systems and literally turning your car and your home into a digital concentration camp.”
How do you fight back to this digital tyranny? CAF explains, “You fight back by saying No. Do not comply. What we are seeing around the world is that the places where people refuse to comply, it’s not working. The mandates are not working, and the passports are not working where people say no. You are not going to control me. You are not going to tell me where I can and cannot go. I am not going along. You have to massively not comply.”
One good way to not comply is to use good old fashion cash for every transaction you can. CAF says, “You need to hold onto your cash because once the system goes all digital, that’s when you can convert to the digital concentration camps. If the system stays cash and more and more people use cash, the perfect system is part cash and part digital because cash can’t be controlled. . . . What we are looking for is decentralization, and decentralization comes with cash and it comes with coin.”
As far as the CV19 “plandemic,” CAF says, “I don’t think depopulation is the only goal, and that is certainly what has been happening. The proof that that is happening is when the data started coming in about how bad the deaths and injuries were–they didn’t stop it or change it. They continued to double down on more and more effort on mandating when they knew the adverse events and deaths are very, very significant.”
CAF says there are many ways to fight back, and she talks about those strategies in the interview that is nearly 48 min. long.

Ray DiLorenzo: At the Cusp of a Global Nightmare?
By Ray DiLorenzo
January 15, 2022
“It is easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled.” —Attributed to Mark Twain
As we examine the mess the Biden administration and the Democrats have made since the 2020 election, we are seeing a massive death rate rise among working-age people.
Every day I scour the news, looking for trends. What I am seeing more and more are reports of death and sickness among the very young and middle age. Athletes, pro and amateur, celebrities, school-age and pre-school children, being reported as dying days or weeks after the COVID shot. The words I see the most in the reporting is ‘died unexpectedly’.
The Epoch Times is reporting a nation-wide surge in deaths among people between the ages of 18 - 49, a rate increase of 40%! Nevada was the worst with an increase of 65%, only 36% attributed to COVID.
The head of an Indianapolis-based insurance company, OneAmerica, said the death rate is up a stunning 40% from pre-pandemic levels among working-age people 18 - 64. Their CEO has said, “Just to give you an idea of how bad that is, a one-in-200-year catastrophe would be a 10% increase over pre-pandemic,” he said. “So 40% is just unheard of.” Who knows more about an increase in the death rate than a life insurance company?
A 3-year-old girl dies ‘unexpectedly’ of a heart attack a day after receiving a COVID shot. We are seeing deaths of 15 and 16 year old boys and girls.
Over the holiday season, Franklin Graham developed pericarditis (inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart). He underwent heart surgery after aggressively pushing the jab. Pericarditis is not an uncommon condition among those who received the vaccine. Franklin’s niece, Rachel-Ruth, several days ago suffered two heart attacks. What are the chances that the Graham family all took the COVID shots?
Eminent physicians and scientists have warned that the COVID vaccines can exacerbate any condition the person may have, aware of or not… cancer, heart conditions, neurological, vascular, etc. Also, anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction may occur. Independent studies have shown that deaths related to the vaccine have been vastly under-reported and in many cases an outright lie perpetrated by the FDA and the CDC. To anyone paying attention, this should not be of any surprise. These doctors have warned us for well over a year.
The real heroes of this pandemic are the doctors that have risked everything for the truth
A word about Pfizer and Moderna. Pfizer has paid out billions of dollars in fines for false claims, bribing doctors, manipulating studies, and deaths due to their drugs. Twenty-five years ago Pfizer sent a team to Nigeria during a meningitis outbreak. They conducted an unblinded clinical trial involving 200 children. Half were given the standard treatment, Ceftriaxone, the other half their new drug Trovan. It was found that Pfizer purposely reduced the dosage of Ceftriaxone to favor their drug Trovan. Eleven children died, five after receiving Pfizer’s drug. Six children died after receiving the reduced dosage of the older drug. Moderna also has a history of commercializing products with technology it doesn’t own and false advertising.
For those that like stats. The number of COVID vaccine deaths as reported by the CDC through 12/31/21 is 21,382. All vaccine deaths combined these last 30 years totals 9,447. It is well known that the CDC numbers are always underreported by as much as 99%. Many doctors either don’t report a vaccine death or don’t know to report a vaccine death. The number of permanent disabilities due to the COVID vaccine is 36,758. In the UK, for the last three months, the deaths among the fully vaccinated have been higher than the unvaccinated. As of 12/5, 80% of the COVID deaths have been of the vaccinated. As a reminder, these are not just numbers, these are people! Why hasn’t this program been shut down?
The real heroes of this pandemic are the doctors that have risked everything for the truth, only caring about their patients. Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, Dr. Ryan Cole, Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Simone Gold, Dr. Shankara Chetty of South Africa, who has treated over 5000 COVID patients with no hospitalizations, to name only a few.
The mainstream press is not reporting these deaths. How can they? They have been pushing hard for everyone to get vaccinated, and aggressively criticizing those who haven’t taken the jab. To his credit, Tucker Carlson is beginning to nibble at the edges.
What amazes me is how many people were willing to take an experimental vaccine for a condition with a better than 99% chance of survival
Why would any clear-thinking person agree to an experimental, ineffective vaccine when the producers, Moderna and Pfizer, are exempt from having to take it. Why should we believe anything the government says when the Executive Branch and their staff are exempt, the Congress and staff are exempt, the Supreme Court and their staff are exempt? The CDC is exempt, as well as the Postal Service is exempt. The National Institutes of Health, and Human Services are also exempt.
What amazes me is how many people were willing to take an experimental vaccine for a condition with a better than 99% chance of survival. And a condition where inexpensive and readily available therapeutics were and still are readily available. Did anyone question the building of concentration camps in Australia for the unvaccinated? Is there anyone out there aware that New York and Washington State are considering camps for the unvaccinated? Does anyone believe anything the government or the medical establishment says anymore? We can’t give medical advice, but we can certainly present the other side of the picture. And the other side looks grim. Does anyone do their homework before making an important decision?
Is this only the beginning of a global nightmare?

Coulter: The Great Epstein Cover-up, Part 2
By Ann Coulter
January 12, 2022
(please note: The underlined words are 'clickable' links when accessed via the link at the bottom of this page)
Last week, we reviewed our ruling class’s strange lack of interest in Jeffrey Epstein’s child molestation ring, in which so many of them played a part. The media cover-up is second only to the government cover-up, with prosecutors delivering loss after loss in cases they’ve been forced to bring (by the police and the public) against the child molester.
This week, we’ll look at the government’s long record of zealously trying NOT to unravel the case.
Barry Krischer was the first prosecutor to let Epstein off for child molestation. The local police presented then-Palm Beach state attorney Krischer with bales of evidence. They had affidavits from dozens of witnesses: girls abused by the pederast, the women who recruited them, the butler who cleaned up sex toys after the “massages,” as well as records of Epstein’s molestation appointments, one delayed because of a victim’s “soccer practice.”
Pretty much everything we know today about Epstein’s sex ring was unearthed by the Palm Beach Police back in 2005 and handed to Krischer on a silver platter.
Five underage girls had given police sworn statements that Epstein had sexually abused them, backed by 17 other witnesses, but when Krischer brought the case to the grand jury, weirdly, he allowed only one of the girls to testify — and then attacked her on the stand! (Epstein’s attorneys had helpfully provided Krischer’s office with the girl’s posts on MySpace, where she talked about boys and drinking, the little harlot.)
According to an extensive review by The Palm Beach Post, most of Krischer’s 2,800-page investigative file on the case consists of dirt against the teens — and against the police — given to him by Epstein’s lawyers. (Thanks, Epstein attorneys! Do we owe you anything?)
The grand jurors, who’d been meticulously kept in the dark by Krischer, ended up voting only for a single charge of “solicitation of prostitution” against Epstein in 2006. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years’ probation. No jail time, no record as a sex offender — no criminal record whatsoever.
According to Nexis, only one newspaper, The Palm Beach Post, reported at the time — or ever — that Palm Beach prosecutor Krischer gave Epstein probation for his years of child abuse.
Epstein’s friends claimed he was the victim of a crusade by Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter, whom they called a “born-again nutcase.” Apparently, anyone who thinks prison is appropriate for the mastermind of a massive child sex ring has gotta be “born-again.” (How does he feel about teenaged girls talking about boys and drinking?) In fact, there’s no evidence that Reiter is even a Christian — other than the fact that he’s never won an award from the ADL.
(In 2018, the Anti-Defamation League gave a “Jurisprudence Award” to … Barry Krischer! The award praised him for “exemplifying the principles upon which the Anti-Defamation League was founded.” Hey, Jonathan Greenblatt, was Harvey Weinstein out of town?)
At that point, the enraged Palm Beach chief of police took his evidence to a completely separate law enforcement agency — the federal government, even though these were mostly state crimes. U.S. attorney Alex Acosta proceeded to make a deal with Epstein — with Krischer essentially operating as Epstein’s defense counsel — resulting in a plea only slightly tougher than Krischer’s pat on the head.
According to journalist Vicky Ward, Acosta later defended this sweetheart deal to the Trump transition team, explaining: “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone.”
Most recently, the U.S. attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York brought a gentle prosecution against Epstein’s pimp and fellow child molester, Ghislaine Maxwell. Federal prosecutors called a mere four girls who claimed to have been recruited and/or abused by Maxwell. They could have put dozens of her victims on the stand.
Most notably, the Southern District did not call the star witness, Virginia Giuffre, who has openly named the rich and powerful men she says these creeps forced her to have sex with, including Prince Andrew, former Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz, former New Mexico governor and presidential candidate Bill Richardson, former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, French model scout Jean-Luc Brunel, and the hedge fund billionaire Glenn Dubin, among others.
(Times of London, Jan. 9, 2022: “Alan Dershowitz asked Donald Trump to grant Ghislaine Maxwell a preemptive pardon.”)
Immediately after the Southern District accidentally won five guilty verdicts against Maxwell, the prosecutors quietly revealed that, weeks earlier, they’d dismissed all charges against the prison guards who failed to check on Epstein for more than eight hours the night he allegedly committed suicide — despite an explicit directive that they check on him every 30 minutes.
Not to brag but …
July 25, 2019, 1:05 a.m.: @AnnCoulter Dear Bureau of Prisons: Please get Jeffrey Epstein to a super Max prison pronto, or the people who want him dead will make sure we never know the truth. ACT NOW!
Aug. 10, 2019: Epstein found dead in his cell.
The feds not only did not move Epstein to a super-maximum security prison as some observers recommended, but they also did this:
— The day before Epstein died, he was taken off suicide watch.
— Against orders, his cellmate transferred elsewhere, leaving Epstein completely alone in his cell.
— All the cameras on Epstein’s floor were mysteriously broken.
— Even the footage of his earlier suicide attempt had been mistakenly erased and the backup footage destroyed “as a result of technical errors,” according to assistant U.S. attorneys Jason Swergold and Maurene Comey.
How many times can they use the “we’re completely incompetent” defense? (Hey, does anybody know if this case implicates rich people?)
Maxwell’s brother soon announced to the press — and to anyone else who might be interested! — that his sister was no snitch. She wouldn’t rat out any of Epstein’s fellow child molesters in exchange for a lighter sentence.
Maxwell is facing up to 65 years in prison, and her brother has just admitted she can name names. Hello? SDNY? Any thoughts about applying some pressure?
Unfortunately, these are the same prosecutors who just did everything in their power to blow the case against her. My prediction of their next conversation with Maxwell: This is our last offer: 30 hours of community service — and we’re not kidding! OK, 20 hours. Damn — you’re one tough negotiator.
Most strange, the ink wasn’t dry on the guilty verdicts before one of the jurors ran to the press and announced that he’d lied on his juror questionnaire. Although he’d denied ever having been sexually molested, he had been! Not only that, but — hoo boy — did his experience with sex abuse sway the jurors during deliberations!
The defense immediately moved for a mistrial and the chatty juror moved to a villa in the south of France he’s just inherited from an unknown relative. OK, the second part isn’t true (that I know of), but are you kidding me??
Are prosecutors even investigating any contact between Maxwell’s representatives and the jurors? Will he be tried for perjury?
However this ends, once it’s over, we’ll never hear about Epstein again — unlike, say, Jan. 6, which we will never stop hearing about. If America got to vote, which story do you think they would find more interesting?
Which story is more important? Doesn’t the public have a right to know how big Epstein’s sex/blackmail club was, who among America’s ruling elite were compromised, and to what end?

Exclusive: Rep. Mo Brooks Introduces Measure Allowing Officials to End Settlement of Illegal Aliens in Their States
By Hannah Bleau
12 Jan 2022
Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) on Wednesday is introducing a measure designed to “empower” local elected officials, including governors, to refuse the federal government’s attempts to resettle illegal aliens in their communities, citing the Biden administration’s “reckless policies” that have left communities in utter shambles.
The “Local Control Act” essentially adds what the congressman’s office described as a “new section” to the Immigration and Nationality Act, which would specifically require the federal officials, including the Secretary of Homeland Security “in consultation with” the Secretary of Health and Human Services and Attorney General, to notify the governor of a state prior to settling the illegal aliens in that specific state. What is more, the measure empowers the governor to stop the settlement altogether.
The bill specifically states, “No Federal funds may be used to transport, house, or resettle any alien without lawful status under the immigration laws within a State without the approval of the Governor of the State.”
Additionally, the bill also states that illegal aliens cannot be placed in a locality within the state if the locality “has in effect a law, a policy with the effect of law, or resolution prohibiting or disapproving of the transportation, housing, or resettling of aliens in that political subdivision,” per the bill’s text.
“While the federal government is tasked with enforcing our immigration laws, it is clearly the states that suffer the fallout,” Brooks told Breitbart News.
“This Administration’s reckless policies have left local communities in shambles, and put American lives at risk. If Joe Biden sees fit to abdicate his responsibility to protect American citizens in their homes and in their communities, then the state’s must be given the right to protect themselves,” he added.
The bill itself has earned the endorsement from Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), described as “one of America’s leading grassroots border security advocacy groups.”
“As the historic crisis on the border continues to worsen, FAIR applauds Representative Mo Brooks’ leadership in assuring that the wishes of the American people are respected by the federal government,” Dan Stein, President of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), said in a statement, praising the measure for returning power back to the American people by allowing them to refuse these settlement attempts by the federal government.
“The first duty of any government is to protect its citizens against invaders. I believe in empowering governors and local elected officials to defend their states and communities since Joe Biden has proven incapable or unwilling to do his duty,” Brooks said in a statement, citing reports of the Feds transporting illegal aliens in the dead of the night in unmarked vans and covertly dumping them in communities across the country.
“Recently, unvetted Afghan evacuees were placed in Alabama without any Alabamian’s consent. Americans shouldn’t be put at risk of terrorism, illegal alien crime, job losses, wage suppression, or any other number of things by a lawless presidential administration that is dead set on weakening America,” he added.
Brooks’ measure coincides with data released by the Department of Homeland security, which shows that the Feds lost track of over 50,000 migrants released by the agency last year, as they were required to report to ICE once arriving to their desired U.S. location but failed to do so.
As Breitbart News reported:
The federal disclosure covers the period between March and August 2021. Of more than 270,000 migrants released by DHS, roughly 104,000 were placed in the NTR system which trusts the migrant to voluntarily report to ICE at their intended U.S. destination to begin the deportation process.
The DHS report ( https://bit.ly/3GmxtgV ) issued in response to an inquiry by U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) notes more than 50,000 migrants — greater than half of those released under NTRs —failed to make formal contact with ICE.
In an exclusive report by Breitbart ( Texas https://bit.ly/3nnxl9L ), the policy change relying on the honor system of self-reporting to ICE went into effect in March 2021. Data released by DHS only addresses the first six months of the procedure in place.
During the first eight days of the new year alone, agents along the southwest border apprehended over 19,000 migrants, as Breitbart News detailed ( https://bit.ly/3nkNuwm ).

More Good News on Ivermectin
By Joseph Mercola
January 6, 2022

When it comes to the treatment of COVID-19, many Western nations have been hobbled by the politicization of medicine. Throughout 2020, media and many public health experts warned against the use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), despite the fact that many practicing doctors were praising its ability to save patients. Most have been silenced through online censorship. Some even lost their jobs for the “sin” of publicly sharing their successes with the drug.
Another decades-old antiparasitic drug that may be even more useful than HCQ is ivermectin. Like HCQ, ivermectin is on the World Health Organization’s list of essential drugs, but its benefits are also being ignored by public health officials and buried by mainstream media.
Ivermectin is a heartworm medication that has been shown to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication in vitro. In the U.S., the Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) has been calling for widespread adoption of Ivermectin, both as a prophylactic and for the treatment of all phases of COVID-19.
In the video above, Dr. John Campbell interviews Dr. Tess Lawrie about the drug and its use against COVID-19. Lawrie is a medical doctor and Ph.D. researcher who has done a lot of work in South Africa.
She’s also the director of Evidence-Based Medicine Consultancy Ltd., which is based in the U.K., and she helped organize the British Ivermectin Recommendation Development (BIRD) panel and the International Ivermectin for COVID Conference, held April 24, 2021.
Ivermectin Useful in All Stages of COVID
What makes ivermectin particularly useful in COVID-19 is the fact that it works both in the initial viral phase of the illness, when antivirals are required, as well as the inflammatory stage, when the viral load drops off and anti-inflammatories become necessary.
According to Dr. Surya Kant, a medical doctor in India who has written a white paper on ivermectin, the drug reduces replication of the SARS-CoV-2 virus by several thousand times. Kant’s paper led several Indian provinces to start using ivermectin, both as a prophylactic and as treatment for COVID-19 in the summer of 2020.
In the video, Lawrie reviews the science behind her recommendation to use ivermectin. In summary:
* A scientific review by Dr. Andrew Hill at Liverpool University, funded by the WHO and UNITAID and published January 18, 2021, found ivermectin reduced COVID-19 deaths by 75%. It also increased viral clearance. This finding was based on a review of six randomized, controlled trials involving a total of 1,255 patients.
* Lawrie’s meta-analysis, published February 8, 2021, found a 68% reduction in deaths. Here, 13 studies were included in the analysis. This, she explains, is an underestimation of the beneficial effect, because they included a study in which the control arm was given HCQ.Since HCQ is an active treatment that has also been shown to have a positive impact on outcomes, it’s not surprising that this particular study did not rate ivermectin as better than the control treatment (which was HCQ).
* Adding two new randomized controlled trials to her February analysis that included data on mortality, Lawrie published an updated analysis March 31, 2021, showing a 62% reduction in deaths.When four studies with high risk of bias were removed during a subsequent sensitivity analysis, they ended up with a 72% reduction in deaths. Sensitivity analyses are done to double-check and verify results.
Doctors Urge Acceptance of Ivermectin to Save Lives
As mentioned earlier, in the U.S., the FLCCC has also been calling for widespread adoption of ivermectin, both as a prophylactic and for the treatment of all phases of COVID-19.
FLCCC president Dr. Pierre Kory, former professor of medicine at St. Luke’s Aurora Medical Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has testified to the benefits of ivermectin before a number of COVID-19 panels, including the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs in December 2020, and the National Institutes of Health COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel January 6, 2021. As noted by the FLCCC:
“The data shows the ability of the drug Ivermectin to prevent COVID-19, to keep those with early symptoms from progressing to the hyper-inflammatory phase of the disease, and even to help critically ill patients recover.
Dr. Kory testified that Ivermectin is effectively a ‘miracle drug’ against COVID-19 and called upon the government’s medical authorities … to urgently review the latest data and then issue guidelines for physicians, nurse-practitioners, and physician assistants to prescribe Ivermectin for COVID-19 …
… numerous clinical studies — including peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials — showed large magnitude benefits of Ivermectin in prophylaxis, early treatment and also in late-stage disease. Taken together … dozens of clinical trials that have now emerged from around the world are substantial enough to reliably assess clinical efficacy.
… data from 18 randomized controlled trials that included over 2,100 patients … demonstrated that Ivermectin produces faster viral clearance, faster time to hospital discharge, faster time to clinical recovery, and a 75% reduction in mortality rates.”
A one-page summary of the clinical trial evidence for Ivermectin can be downloaded from the FLCCC website. A more comprehensive, 31-page review of trials data has been published in the journal Frontiers of Pharmacology.
A listing of all the Ivermectin trials done to date, with links to the published studies, can be found on c19Ivermectin.com.
The FLCCC’s COVID-19 protocol was initially dubbed MATH+ (an acronym based on the key components of the treatment), but after several tweaks and updates, the prophylaxis and early outpatient treatment protocol is now known as I-MASK+ while the hospital treatment has been renamed I-MATH+, due to the addition of ivermectin.
The two protocols are available for download on the FLCCC Alliance website in multiple languages. The clinical and scientific rationale for the I-MATH+ hospital protocol has also been peer-reviewed and was published in the Journal of Intensive Care Medicine in mid-December 2020.
The International Ivermectin for COVID Conference
April 24 through 25, 2021, Lawrie hosted the first International Ivermectin for COVID Conference online. Twelve medical experts from around the world shared their knowledge during this conference, reviewing mechanism of action, protocols for prevention and treatment, including so-called long-hauler syndrome, research findings and real world data.
All of the lectures, which were recorded via Zoom, can be viewed on Bird-Group.org. In her closing address, Lawrie stated:
“The story of Ivermectin has highlighted that we are at a remarkable juncture in medical history. The tools that we use to heal and our connection with our patients are being systematically undermined by relentless disinformation.
The story of Ivermectin shows that we as a public have misplaced our trust in the authorities and have underestimated the extent to which money and power corrupts.
Had Ivermectin being employed in 2020 when medical colleagues around the world first alerted the authorities to its efficacy, millions of lives could have been saved, and the pandemic with all its associated suffering and loss brought to a rapid and timely end.
With politicians and other nonmedical individuals dictating to us what we are allowed to prescribe to the ill, we as doctors, have been put in a position such that our ability to uphold the Hippocratic oath is under attack.”
During the conference, Lawrie proposed that doctors around the world join together to form a new people-centered World Health Organization. “Never before has our role as doctors been so important because never before have we become complicit in causing so much harm,” she said.

2022 Wild Unpredictable Year – Craig Hemke
By Greg Hunter
O[n January 11, 2022
Financial writer, market analyst and precious metals expert Craig Hemke says there is only one certain thing you can say about the economy in 2022, and that is “Don’t buy the lie, the Fed does not have inflation under control.” Everything else is a huge wild card. We start with the stack of unpredictable things that Hemke sees, and he explains, “I think, economically, you can tell where we are headed, but anyone who can predict what 2022 is going to be like politically is crazy. This is going to be a wild unpredictable year. It will be volatile. If anything, this is an election year in Congress. All of the House and a third of the Senate and control of that agenda is up for grabs. You know we are going back down the path of allegedly ‘peaceful demonstrations’ that come with it. Then you’ve got inflation, supply chain disruptions and all these empty shelves. What if that gets worse? Then you have societal disruptions from hungry people. Then everybody around the world has been sold this story that the vaccines are going to keep you out of the hospital, and they are going to keep the disease mild. All that is being walked back now. What if it turns out the vax has done more harm than good? God only knows how the whole world will revolt. If it is discovered in 2022 that the vaccines globally have done more harm than good, which is entirely possibly because it is new technology being used for the first time . . . . If it turns out that way, people are going to freak out. . . . If there are millions of people marching in the streets, the governments are not going to say, oh well, we screwed up. You think they are cracking down now? What do you think the crackdowns are going to look like nine months from now?”
So, it’s safe to say the entire CV19 vax and virus story is going to be the wildest of wild cards. What Hemke can predict is the actions of the Fed in terms of fighting inflation and ending the easy money policies. Considering the trillions of dollars in exponential money creation and debt, can the Fed make a wrong move and blow up the system cutting off liquidity and raising rates? Hemke says, “Could they lose control? Yes. Will they? Well, not yet, and that is all part of the challenge in forecasting, and that is you don’t know when that rubber band will reach that breaking point. . . . We’ve got $30 trillion in debt, and they have been able to reduce the interest rate paid on that debt. The interest on that national debt is about $500 billion with an average interest rate of 1.6%. So, when people say interest rates are going to go to 3% or 4%, what’s the interest going to cost — $1.2 trillion? The whole thing spins than much out of control. . . . They cannot, cannot afford for that to happen. . . . Don’t buy the lie that the Fed has this under control and they are going to raise interest rates.”
The bottom line is Hemke says expect more inflation because the Fed cannot raise interest rates to fight it.

Mainstream Media Has Morphed from Battling the Fed in Court in 2008 to Groveling at its Feet Today
By Pam Martens and Russ Martens
January 11, 2022
Media LogosIt’s now day 13 since the Fed released the names of the Wall Street trading houses that borrowed $4.5 trillion cumulatively, just in the fourth quarter of 2019, from the Fed’s repo loan facility. Not one mainstream media outlet has reported those names of the Wall Street firms or the amounts borrowed – despite the fact that we have prodded them to do so, and despite the fact that some of the largest borrowers were also bailed out by the Fed during and after the financial crash of 2008.
The Fed, which is releasing the data on a rolling quarterly basis, had previously released the names of the banks and the amounts borrowed for the last 14 days of September 2019. That cumulative total came to $769.2 billion, or an average of $54.94 billion per day that the Fed was throwing at Wall Street’s trading houses. It’s clear there was a financial crisis going on in this pre-COVID era, because the Wall Street banks had requested loans for $850.575 billion in that 14-day span, or $81 billion more than the Fed was offering. And the demands for ever larger loans from the Fed continued to spike through the end of the year in that pre-COVID era.
From September 17, 2019 to the end of 2019, $5.269 trillion was cumulatively doled out by the Fed in repo loans. From the start of the Fed’s repo loan program on September 17, 2019 to its conclusion on July 2, 2020, the Fed funneled $11.23 trillion to trading houses whose names remained secret for a full two years. The trading unit of the largest bank in the United States, JPMorgan Chase, was one of the largest borrowers in 2019. The trading unit of the bank that received the largest bailout in global banking history during and after the 2008 financial crisis, Citigroup, was a major borrower. Goldman Sachs, which has a storied history of reckless and irresponsible behavior, was a major borrower. And the trading units of numerous foreign banks, such as the Japanese bank, Nomura, and German, Deutsche Bank, were large borrowers. (The share price of Deutsche Bank, a major derivatives counterparty to Wall Street banks, was in a death spiral at the time.)
In some cases, the Fed appeared to be customizing loans for specific borrowers -– something that the Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation of 2010 expressly prohibits. On December 17, 2019, the Fed made a 13-day term loan for $6.1 billion. BNP Paribas Securities received $1 billion of that; Daiwa Capital Markets got $100 million; Deutsche Bank Securities took $3 billion; and Societe Generale took the balance of $2 billion. That’s only four firms while the legal mandate of Dodd-Frank is that the Fed can only lend to “broad-based” programs. On the same date of December 17, 2019, the Fed also made an overnight loan of $52.65 billion. Deutsche Bank took three lots of that loan totaling $6.5 billion, bringing its total borrowing on that date to $9.5 billion.
To understand how truly unprecedented mainstream media’s news blackout is, a crucial piece of media history is in order.

GOP Bill Would Allow President to Ban Foreign Land Purchases in U.S. for 5 Years
By Katherine Hamilton
11 Jan 2022
A bill being co-led by Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Mary Miller (R-IL) would place a five-year moratorium on foreign land purchases to protect “American sovereignty” from being “eroded.”
Breitbart News exclusively obtained the bill’s text before its official introduction on Wednesday. The legislation, named the “National Security Moratorium on Foreign Purchases of U.S. Land” would give the president power to prohibit the purchase of public or private real estate in the U.S. “by any foreign person” for the five-year period after the enactment of the law.
The bill defines a “foreign person” as “any foreign national, foreign government, or foreign entity; or any entity over which control is exercised or exercisable by a foreign national, foreign government, or foreign entity.” The ban would also extend to any corporation, partnership, or other association created under the laws of a foreign country.
Subsequently, the Comptroller General of the U.S. would be required to submit a report to Congress six months after the enactment of the bill detailing the history of foreign public and private real estate purchases located in the U.S. The Comptroller General would also be required to make recommendations as to how “to make it easier for United States citizens and harder for foreign persons to purchase real estate located in the United States, including farm land,” and to provide a percentage of real estate located in the U.S. that is owned by foreign persons.
The bill lists several concerning findings as reasons for the creation of the legislation, including several statistics on how foreign ownership is increasing housing costs for American citizens.
According to the text, foreign investors now account for almost one-third of institutional investments in single-family rental homes in the U.S. Breitbart News previously reported how global investors are “gobbling up” middle-class suburban homes, “enriching wealthy investors and turning would-be homeowners into lifetime, no-equity renters.”
The legislation states that increased foreign investment in urban areas has led to a rise in gentrification.
This is “pushing many long-time residents out of their homes, including some of our most vulnerable and poor communities,” according to the bill. Additionally, “roughly 47 percent of rural renters pay a third or more of their income in rent each month. The Federal government has done nothing to help rural Americans deal with the rising costs in housing.”
The bill also calls for the EB-5 visa system, which allows foreign nationals to obtain green cards if they invest in specific business ventures, to be made “more stringent.”
The proposed moratorium hammers the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and notes that Chinese Nationals have reportedly led foreign investments in U.S. homes “for the past seven years.”
“The Chinese Communist Party is attempting to buy land in the United States, with an emphasis on farmland to gain strategic leverage over the United States,” the bill continues. “Foreign companies and individuals have purchased 1.7 million acres of agricultural land in Texas over the past decade, which is more than in any other State. The purchases are worth approximately $3.3 billion.”
A particularly noteworthy example is Chinese billionaire and CCP member Sun Guangxin, who planned to build a wind farm on the 140,000 acres he purchased on the border of Mexico near Laughlin Air Force Base. The operation would have likely tapped into the state’s electricity grid, and Texas lawmakers blocked the project over hacking fears.
The legislation is similar — though much broader — to another bill that Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) introduced in June 2021. The bill, named “Securing America’s Land from Foreign Interference Act,” would give the president power to prohibit Chinese Communist Party members from purchasing public or private real estate in the U.S.

Rethinking Citizenship—Is Born In The U.S.A. Enough?
By Anony Mee
January 11, 2022
There are two main paths to acquiring citizenship in the United States and a few minor ones. The first is to be born here. The others are via legal immigration, birth abroad to a U.S. citizen, and certain adoptions.
Then there’s birthright citizenship, which is recognized in only 25 countries, 13% of the nations on earth, and all but three of them are in the Americas. In recent years, France, New Zealand, Australia, and Ireland have abolished birthright citizenship.
The US-born children of foreign diplomatic officers are not eligible to be citizens. Citizenship is currently granted, however, to all other children born here to foreigners, about 10% of the close to 4 million births here in 2019.
About a quarter of these are the children of Chinese and other-nationality women engaged in “birth tourism.” They constitute a growing group of American citizens with no connections to the United States, its people, culture, or dynamism, other than their return ticket to their home country after having been born here and a U.S. passport. The other three-quarters are born to illegal aliens, more than likely to parents living in fear while striving to stay under the DHS radar—not a particularly healthy relationship with their country of residence.
The history of citizenship law is interesting and full of twists and turns. Andrew R. Arthur, Resident Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) and a former Immigration Judge, lays it all out in his article Birthright Citizenship: An Overview ( https://bit.ly/3FjIDlg ). CIS has published a number of pieces with varying viewpoints on this topic over the years that can be found here ( https://bit.ly/3qgYJbl ).
The current practice needs to be changed, I believe, especially considering the millions now pouring across our southern border. The most reasonable process would be to pass a law holding that a child born in the United States to non-citizen parents is accorded the immigration status of those parents.
Thus, a child born to foreign university students, who hold current and valid legal admissions to study in the United States, would be accorded the temporary status of a child of a student (nonimmigrant visa classification F-2). This is the status the child would have had if it was born in the parents’ home country, or in any of nearly 170 other countries, before their arrival here or while home during a school break. The same should hold for every other child born here to an alien in temporary status and good standing—workers, researchers, tourists, business executives, athletes, and all the rest.
A child born in the United States to lawfully admitted permanent residents (LPRs, also called green card holders) should be born a permanent resident. The child can be naturalized at the same time as its parents or upon becoming eligible to apply on his or her own.

Refugees and Asylees
By definition in law, a refugee is a person who has been persecuted or has a well-founded fear of persecution on specific grounds in his or her home country, the grounds of which are of interest to the United States. Being poor, or wanting a different or better life elsewhere, classifies one as an economic migrant, not a refugee.
When I worked on refugee issues long ago, countries generally adhered to the principle of country of first asylum. That is, once a person was free from the country that persecuted him, he was deemed to have found refuge and would be expected to seek a home there.
Some countries bordering the sources of persecuted people, however, were too poor or otherwise unable to take in many refugees so the international community would process them in the country of first asylum for placement elsewhere. Those taken in by the United States entered with the status of refugee.
An asylee is someone who applies for and is granted refugee status from within the United States. Typically, under the principle of country of first asylum, this would be someone who washes up on our shores like Cubans or Haitians, or who manages to get on a plane in his home country that disembarks in the United States. Historically, it did not include anyone presenting themselves at a land or other border who had passed through other countries to get here.
Those granted refugee or asylee status have the option to qualify for and obtain permanent residence and eventually citizenship. Their children born here should be accorded conditional permanent resident status. This conditional status could then be converted to LPR status when the parents obtain LPR status or upon application on their own when 21 or older.
Illegals
Those who enter the United States without permission and those who overstay their temporary visas are illegal aliens; just being here out of status is a crime. Children born to them should have no legal immigration status. Children belong to their parents, not to the state. They belong with their parents. If parents are removed from the U.S., then their children should go with them.
These proposed changes to current practice would have a salutary effect on the country. We would not see our population growing due to those fraudulently applying for visas to do one thing when they are actually coming to get a foothold in the country through giving birth to an anchor baby. Fraud is not a nice way to start any relationship.
The current wait is a minimum of 21 years, the age at which an American citizen can petition for his or her parents to receive immigrant visas. Despite this, hundreds of thousands of children are born in this country to illegals every year. Mr. Arthur’s article details the cost of these births to the U.S. taxpayer. Breaking the anchor chain is a worthy goal and might well deter a percentage of the current tsunami of illegals at our borders.
Republicans in Congress need to get busy and introduce new legislation designed to clarify and limit nationality to those who may rightfully claim it. Though such a bill wouldn’t go anywhere this session, it would be ready to be reintroduced and passed as soon as the 118th Congress is installed. Then it can be passed again over a Presidential veto and become law. Note my optimism for a sweeping change in 2022. Let’s Go Brandon!

Kunstler: Light It Up!
By James Howard Kunstler
January 10, 2022
We are at a strange pass in The Saga of Covid. It seems the spikey virus wants to leave center stage… is weary of all the attention… wants to fade into the eternal parade of microorganisms that cozily coexist within the human life-stream — like Tony Fauci’s HIV, a fellow traveler in the old-time throng of human viruses, now semi-retired, and yet still every bit as mysterious in the actual mechanism of AIDS as it was when Dr. Fauci pinned his NIAID distinguished service medal on its elusive bosom, so to speak (but you’d have to read Bobby Kennedy’s book on Fauci to get the drift of that).
Omicron is sweeping the country, as love once did in George Gershwin’s day. (We are a different country now, as anyone tuned into the Turner Classics Movie channel can discover.) Omicron: the 36-hour head cold that Covid-19 has been demoted to. Omicron: a mere wise-cracking gecko compared to the roaring dragon that was Covid-19 in the winter of 2020. Omicron: kind of an embarrassment to “vaccine” tyrants who still seek to jab every arm on earth, and at ever-shortening intervals — like a med school version of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, only with syringes running amok instead of brooms.
The Party-of-Chaos (the one headed by the ectoplasmic “Joe Biden”) does not want to let go of Covid-19, its Swiss army knife of destruction. With Covid-19, you can push people around and mess with their lives every which way, shut down their businesses, lock them in their homes, screw them out of their livelihoods, delete their reputations, board-up their social venues, cancel their careers, revoke their licenses, drag them into court, fine them into penury, cram them into prison camps, and much more.
If Covid-19 actually does make that move to exit the scene, the Party-of-Chaos will have to find a new focus for its anxiety-driven lunacy. And if the front page of The New York Times is the party’s id, a signifier of intent, then the focus will shift to fomenting war with Russia. Notice today’s lead headline, top left above the fold (as we used to say when the darn thing was printed on paper).
“…in a bid to avert war in Ukraine…” the headline declares. Dunno about you, but to me that suggests the USA sees war as a possibility, something we’ve already gamed into our plans, like it would be something we could… handle. Forgive the rather glum reality-test, but war with Russia over Ukraine is for sure something that the USA probably can’t handle. The most likely outcome would be a king-hell embarrassment on the battlefield, not just because we would be fighting on Russia’s door-sill where sheer logistics favor our adversary (with ready re-supply and all), but because our pussified military — with gal bomber pilots in pregnancy flight-suits and other novelties of “diversity & inclusion” — will result in the most ignominious ass-kicking in our history… following a 50-year string of prior embarrassments. The second most likely outcome of this face-off with Russia would be that old familiar nuclear World War Three, with everything from Bangor to Pacific Heights turned into one big smoldering ashtray.
Underlying this lunacy is The USA’s perverse wish to enlist Ukraine in NATO — Ukraine, that mighty economic powerhouse (not). What Ukraine is… is a super-sized version of Detroit, a hollowed-out shell of place whose mojo left on the 9:10 train to Palookaville decades ago, and has been on international life-support since the DC Deep State ran its 2014 “color revolution” in the Maidan Square. The Russians object to American huggermugger in Ukraine because following the implosion of the Soviet Union, we promised the Russians no expansion of NATO in the direction of their border. Yes, we did. We said that.
Well, sure, you may be thinking, countries make all kinds of insincere cockamamie agreements all the time, in the darkness of bad faith, and so what? This is geopolitical hardball. Grow up! We want Ukraine on our side now and Russia can just go pound sand…. Okay, forgive me… that may be what Secretary of State Tony Blinken and his genius deputies in Foggy Bottom are thinking… not you. But is it really a good idea? Ukraine, when not actually a part of greater Russia, has been in its acknowledged sphere-of-influence since before George Washington even thought about chopping down any cherry trees. Russia, which has been invaded and torched by European invaders twice in modern history (Napoleon, 1812; Hitler, 1941), does not want NATO lodging missiles, troops, and Gawd-knows-what-all else right on its border.
And, by the way, Does the USA need another faraway failed state to support? We can’t even take care of the junkies, psychotics, and misbegotten lining the sidewalks of a dozen American cities, and now we propose to adopt the poorest country in that remote corner of the world? While beating down our own once-productive people, inflating away our savings, taking away our natural liberties to work, move about in a free society, and the right to decide what pharmaceuticals we can decline to put in our bodies?
Which brings us back to the virus. In The Saga of Covid there is a monster under the bed. The ballyhooed and mandated vaxxes apparently have the ability to kill and maim people who have taken them long after Covid-19 exits stage-left. We don’t really know how this works out, but we have plenty of clues: kids dropping dead of heart attacks, pro athletes, ditto, the VAERS numbers reporting over 21,000 vaccine-implicated deaths (out of a grossly under-reported actual figure) plus over a million adverse reaction reports (ditto under-reported). The time may not be far off when we make the ghastly discovery that the “vaccines” actually killed more Americans than the virus did.
Meanwhile, a report out of Indianapolis-based the OneAmerica Life Insurance company, a $100-billion outfit, announced last week that all-causes deaths in working age Americans between 18 and 64 were up 40 percent in the third quarter of 2021 and keeping the same pace in the fourth quarter. The number was described as “huge, huge… greater than a three-sigma event… unheard of,” according to company CEO Scott Davison, who added that even those figures are probably under-reported. What’s killing these people? Could it be Dr. Fauci’s prescription for vaxxing up everyone in the land? I guess, sooner or later, we’re going to find out.

Huge Number of Vax Deaths & It’s Getting Worse – Dr. Pierre Kory
By Greg Hunter
On January 8, 2022
World renowned CV19 critical care and pulmonary expert Dr. Pierre Kory says the data is clear the CV19 injections are “not safe, not effective” and shows they are causing a huge number of deaths. It’s going to get much worse if we don’t stop the shots. Dr. Kory warns, “They already broke death records with these vaccines almost a year ago. Now, you are starting to see it in actuarial data with life insurance companies. The life insurance companies have been paying out claims like they never have before, and they are noticing the deaths cannot be explained by Covid. If you look at the actual morbidity and mortality from the CDC . . . 2019, 2020 and 2021 in the ages of 18 to 64 . . . you’ll see in America, starting in quarter two of the year 2021 (when the vaccines started), the mortalities started to rise, and it rose from 120% above normal to 140% above normal, and it’s far exceeded the death rates in 2020. The difference in 2020 and 2021, we had covid in both years. In 2021, we had the vaccines. They know the amount of deaths they are reporting cannot be explained by Covid. . . . There is something else driving a huge and extremely terrifying mortality signal in the U.S. population. To think that it is anything but the vaccines, if we get this wrong and if you keep saying they are safe, that line which is already in a significant and steep incline will continue the more we boost and the more we vaccinate. . . . This has to stop. We have to stop, people are dying.”
Meanwhile, the captured regulatory agencies like the CDC and FDA are trashing and cutting off proven scientific cures for Covid such as Ivermectin. Dr. Kory says Ivermectin has been proven effective in defeating Covid infections, and he says, “It is “one of the safest drugs ever brought to market.” Dr. Kory also says the so-called experimental vaccines “are not safe and not effective.” So, why do government agencies push them anyway? Dr. Kory says, “I have had a front row seat to see this.” . . . And he goes on to say government agencies are suffering from “regulatory capture” by big Pharma. Meaning, the FDA and CDC push ineffective and dangerous vaccines so Big Pharma can make money off them, while disregarding cheaper, safer and more effective drugs like Ivermectin. Dr Kory gives a real-world example during the pandemic and explains, “Prescriptions in this country (for Ivermectin) in August were hitting 90,000 per week. So many doctors were using it for Covid that it spooked the pharmaceutical companies. . . . In response to the massive uptake in the use of Ivermectin by physicians with prescriptions and pharmacists filling them, the CDC went on the attack. They sent a bulletin to every state department of health which was full of propaganda and misinformation screaming the FDA has not approved Ivermectin (for treating Covid) and it’s not a proven drug, and it’s dangerous and there are overdoses and all of these things that were false. It went to all state departments of health. But guess what happened next? The medical boards and the pharmacy boards started sending that to every licensed physician and pharmacist in the land. The average physician and pharmacist, I am sorry to say this, is not well read. They are not keeping up with data. They are overwhelmed and they are easily influenced. That’s why in this country you have a war between the physicians that know that Ivermectin is effective . . . and are at war with the pharmacies. A huge proportion of pharmacists will refuse to fill a decades-old safe drug for Covid because they have been threatened and manipulated by their boards. They are afraid to lose their licenses. It all smoke. It’s all B.S. because you cannot lose your license for use of a safe drug. . . . We need our doctors to do doctoring, and we need our pharmacists to do pharmacy and stop being influenced by propaganda by pharmaceutical companies who don’t want you to use this drug. We have to stand up, and we have to resist on behalf of our patients. We are finding that with compounding pharmacies and small pharmacies we can still get access (to Ivermectin), but it is a battle and you do have to navigate.”
Former Pfizer VP Dr. Michael Yeadon said this week, “Max vaccination is leading to mass death.” Dr. Kory agrees and explains, “It’s not only data from a life insurance company that came out this week that is based on CDC data that can’t be explained by Covid alone, there are huge increases of dying in this country this year. . . . They have done huge analysis of the European mortality data as well as the U.S. mortality data and they controlled for vaccination status. They found that for every age range that they looked at, the all-cause mortality of the vaccinated were increased over the unvaccinated. All-cause mortality and that means that you are more likely to die of something if you are vaccinated. . . . All-cause mortality are coming out of actual databases by credible scientists. You have life insurance companies showing the data, and you have our own federal government showing unexplained large rises in dying. . . . Don’t you think a good scientific question and a good hypothesis to test would be ‘Could these be the vaccines?’ The answer is ‘the vaccines,’ and I cannot find a better fit to answering that hypothesis than that, it’s this mass explosion of this vaccination policy with single, double and booster shots. It’s going like wildfire through the population. If the mortality of the vaccinated is higher than the unvaccinated, you have the data that you can safely and confidently conclude the vaccines are associated with and causing death.”
In closing, Dr. Kory says, “What has happened in the last month or so is the data for adverse reactions and effects are no longer hidden and suppressed. They are coming out on servers . . . and actuarial tables.”
Dr. Kory tells people to go to the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance website and get any and all information for treating Covid-19 for free.

Ray DiLorenzo: Dems Forcing Change on America--And It's All Bad
By Ray DiLorenzo
January 8, 2022
“We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for President Obama’s administration before this, we have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” -Joe Biden, October, 2020
Under the guise of ‘protecting our democracy’, Democrats are intentionally destroying that democracy, that self-government ‘experiment’ our founders fought and died to create. From election fraud to pandemic and vaccine tyranny, to the contortion of voting rights, to the disintegration of our great cities, immigration laws and beloved military, they no longer are willing to compete in the contest of ideas. We even have political prisoners, non-violent Trump supporters, à la Communist China. They languish in prison without bail, without trial. It’s their way of attempting to murder MAGA.
The Left forces radical change upon America without consensus, without approval. They are a well-oiled demonic machine.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) which has never lived up to their name, has become more fascinated with emulating Communist China and its absolute power than preserving their own country with its political give and take and individual sovereignty. With help from the complicit media, Big Tech, multi-nationals, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Democrats are more than willing to force their will on a public still not completely cognizant of their schemes.
The public’s hesitance to believe our plight is understandable. Since the Dems’ actions these last several years have been so foreign, so intentionally destructive of our country’s economy and ideals, it has become hard to fathom. I still have to occasionally remind myself of our realities. Sometimes you have to fall into a hole to know a hole is there.
When it comes to getting someone’s attention in American politics, the Chinese have learned it only takes cash. Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, was offered a half-billion dollar ‘investment’ into his family’s real estate firm. Kushner recognized it for what it was and showed the CCP operative the door. On the other side of the political fence, Hunter Biden was offered a $1.5 billion ‘investment’ and, of course, accepted the deal. He made at least 5 trips to China to earn the money. Hunter’s one annoyance of the deal was that, in his laptop, he complained that ‘pop’ insisted on getting half of the money. When you deal with these kind of characters and these numbers, if you accept the deal and don’t deliver the product, you end up down the Yangtze River without a ping pong paddle. The Biden’s are now so deeply dug in to their corruption, our own Executive Branch has become a major national security threat. The only reason Hunter is actually selling his boorish paintings is because the buyers know they will get their money’s worth.
This effort to federalize national elections will be the death knell of our republic
The Democrats are pulling out every rabbit in their collective hats to win every election now and in the future. They know they are in trouble. If left up to the voters, they will lose big in November. It’s a strange thing to say, “If left up to the voters,” but that is where we are. Comes the ‘For the People Act’ or the ‘Freedom to Vote Act’, names typical of socialist schemes…the ‘People’s Bill’, the ‘Peoples Park’. Democrats think that their voters will accept or reject a bill just based on its name…For The People Act?...that’s nice, or Freedom to Vote Act?...all for it.
This effort to federalize national elections (incur more centralization), will be the death knell of our republic. States will no longer have the final say in their election process. Every state will be required to provide 15 days early voting and the expulsion of election observers. It will also require voting by mail, online voting, same-day registration, and restore the vote to felons. It will substantially weaken state’s voter ID laws, mandate drop-off boxes, and ballot harvesting…all a corrupt political party needs to take the vote away from the people. All while 2 million illegal immigrants are flown shrewdly to all parts of the country in the middle of the night, waiting to register to vote.
Democrats deduce minorities as being stupid
It’s amazing to me that the DNC manages to navigate these game plans while misconstruing this farce as being humanitarian. Audacity doesn’t come close to describing their antics. Interestingly, in New York State, the voters just turned down same-day registration and no-excuse absentee voting. Even liberal New York is becoming concerned about the integrity of their elections.
All of this political maneuvering, Democrats say, will protect access to the polls for minorities because, you see, Democrats deduce minorities as being stupid. The DNC is in a bind to keep the pandemic and Trump hate going amid a restless and impatient public, weary of political shenanigans, excuses and inconsistencies.
Democrats are attempting to force changes to our government unrecognizable to any of even moderate awareness. Many Republicans stand to the side in a stupor, void of response, not knowing whether to protect their country or themselves. Who knew the modern Democrat Party would turn out to be a Trojan Horse?
Slowly we are seeing the coming together of truth and nightmare. Make no mistake, we are at war! It may be a hybrid war, but the stakes are as high as any war we have ever fought in our history.

Narrative Continues to Collapse with Vax, Voter Fraud & Fed
By Greg Hunter
On January 7, 2022
I predicted at the end of 2021, the narratives would collapse with the vax, voter fraud and economy propped up by the Fed. I did not realize the collapse would happen at this speed, but it has. There is more bad news with the vax injection narrative. The sick are overwhelmingly the vaxed, and now more autopsies have been done on the injected that show 93% in one study died of the CV19 so-called vaccinations. The vax attacked the body and all its organs, including the heart 100% of the time. The doctors that performed the autopsies have never seen this before.
More is coming out with voter fraud from the 2020 Election season. One whistleblower says he was paid $10 per ballot to rig the election for the Democrat candidates for Senate in Georgia. The whistleblower says 240 other people did the same thing in the Georgia runoff for Senate, and that adds up to $11 million in illegal money and voter fraud to throw the Senate to the Democrats. New information is coming out almost every week, and the fraud is being cut off by state legislatures. The Dems are panicking and trying to change the voter laws on a national level to make legal their fraud of 2020.
Minutes of the Fed meeting in December are out, and the Fed looks like it is worried enough about inflation to do something about it. They can stop the money printing and kill the economy, or they can go full speed ahead with debt monetization and kill the U.S. dollar and probably kill it as the reserve currency of the planet. Tough choice and both are bad. You best be ready and that means own your stuff and cut back on the risk.

French rebels massively destroy 5G networks
By world-signals.com
Published on January 5, 2022
Rebels in France have declared war on the infrastructure of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
An ever-expanding resistance movement has been sabotaging the widely-hated 5G network.
Says a three-part report on the Reporterre website: “Relay antennae are being torched, fibre-optic cables cut, pylons unbolted. During the night, people burn construction machinery, attack masts with disc cutters or destroy electrical equipment with sledgehammers”.
Vehicles belonging to telecommunications businesses have also been set on fire in at least 140 attacks since the start of the Covid repression, with the cost to the industry running into tens of millions of euros.
Says the report:
“This is a movement which is advancing underground, out of the spotlight, a deep revolt spreading across France”.
Pascaline, a resistance fighter interviewed by Reporterre, says she has been forced into action by a sense of urgency: “We are living in a crossroads period. If we do nothing now, this industry will have permanently taken hold”.
Pascaline says her fellow saboteurs have a wide range of backgrounds, with Gilets Jaunes and anarchists fighting alongside Christians who are equally opposed to the fascistic New Normal grid being built with 5G.
With protests against the Great Reset ignored, smeared and repressed by the French state, dissidents have been forced to express themselves more directly.
Texts have been circulating calling for the creation of a new movement of “concrete, and not just symbolic, resistance”.
Resistance fighter Léon told Reporterre: “We have been pushed towards sabotage by very practical reasons. Since the Gilets Jaunes, the state has tightened the screws and it is harder and harder to push back against power on the streets”.
Given the Covid restrictions, it was also impossible to build a mass mobilisation against 5G, he said, even though the majority of the population are opposed.
As the report notes, the sabotage movement amounts to “a refusal to live in a hyperconnected society” and “full-on resistance to the digitalisation of the world”.
Another saboteur, Margot, says that a web-like prison of cables and masts is being constructed.
“We are told about all the joys of a digital society which in reality only worsens exploitation, surveillance and environmental disaster”.
The telecommunications business is, of course, alarmed by the biggest wave of sabotage in France since the massive struggle against GM crops 20 years ago.
Orange boss Stéphane Richard has even spoken of the need to avoid “an Afghanistan of mobile phone networks, where we will have to fight mast by mast, community by community, to try and install 5G”.
As the saboteurs point out, masts are the nerve centres for the economic flow of the new technocapitalism. Rebel websites talk variously of “umbilical cords” and “Achilles’ heels”.
The revolution is never televised and the mainstream media have been largely avoiding any mention of what is happening, for fear that it will spread even further.
When the saboteurs’ existence is recognised, they are depicted as cranks and “conspiracy theorists”.
Notes Léon:
“Conspiracy theory has always been a rhetorical tool to delegitimise a movement. We saw that with the Gilet Jaunes. After they have played the homophobia, anti-semitism and racism cards, conspiracy theory has become the new catchword of power.
The authorities are trying pass the saboteurs off as lone wolves, as isolated individuals. In fact we are part of a collective initiative across France and Europe”.
Needless to say, the panicked system is also ramping up its traditional rhetoric of repression, using the term “terrorist” to smear all resistance to its technofascist coup.
But can it really do anything to stop what has now become a powerful wave of revolt?
Pascaline explains: “We are targeting this infrastructure because it belongs to the digital industry but also because it is vulnerable.
“There are tens of thousands of masts in the country within an ever-denser network and the authorities are struggling to monitor them”.
Admits Vincent Cuvillier, boss of Ofitem (the body representing the operators of mobile phone infrastructure in France): “It isn’t realistic today to say that we are going to install 66,000 video-surveillance cameras on all the masts. And let’s be clear: anyone who wants to enter and destroy an isolated site could do so”.

Coulter: The Great Epstein Cover-up, Part I
By Ann Coulter
January 5, 2022
(please note: The underlined words are 'clickable' links when accessed via the link at the bottom of this page)
Question: Is our ruling class trying to make us to think they’re a bunch of pederasts? Our media could not be less interested in Jeffrey Epstein’s child molestation ring and, with the sole exception of the Palm Beach Police Department, every arm of government has bent over backward to bury the case.
(Who says our media and government can’t work together?)
The jury’s courageous delivery last week of five “guilty” verdicts against Epstein’s pimp, Ghislaine Maxwell, was a sort of reverse jury nullification. The U.S. attorney’s office — the prosecution — did everything it could to get an acquittal, but the jurors defied them.
As for media coverage, did you even know that the FBI found Epstein’s cache of sex tapes labeled “(name of underage girl) + (name of VIP)” — and then lost them?
Immediately after Epstein’s arrest at Teterboro Airport in July 2019, the FBI executed a search warrant on his New York mansion. Following a daylong search, agents discovered a hidden safe in the closet of a fifth-floor dressing room, used a saw to break into it, and found an enormous collection of photos of naked girls, and CDs of the girls apparently having sex with influential men.
Then, the agents left — abandoning the photos and CDs, with Epstein’s employees free to wander about the place. As Kelly Maguire, FBI special agent in charge of the search, explained during Maxwell’s trial, they only had a warrant to search the house, but not to remove evidence — evidence at the heart of the entire sex trafficking scheme.
It didn’t occur to Maguire to leave a single agent behind to guard the CDs? How about the intern who just gets coffee?
You’ll never guess what happened next.
The CDs and photographs disappeared. By the time the FBI returned with a new warrant — four days later — to remove the CDs and photos, they were gone. Later, after a few phone calls, Epstein’s lawyer, Richard Kahn, “returned” the cache in two suitcases. I had no idea they were important! I was just tidying up!
Were the videos tampered with? Were all of the photos returned? Who knows!
This was testified to by Special Agent Maguire. That’s the last time I trust the lawyer of a pedophile! Boy, is my face red! Darn it! … Oh well, what are you going to do?
(Before moving on, let’s take a moment to honor the historic appointment of Kelly Maguire as FBI special agent. Another glass ceiling shattered!)
How could any search warrant for Epstein’s residence fail to specify videos?
The reason the tapes are kind of important is that it was perfectly clear — certainly by 2019 — that Epstein had no legitimate source of income to fund his Caligula lifestyle, and further, that he was farming out underage girls for sex to the rich and powerful — with hidden cameras running everywhere. It sure looked like his underage sex ring was a blackmail/kompromat operation.
Obviously, the most important question is: On behalf of whom? The tapes of “(underage girl) + (important person)” would have gone a long way toward answering that. What did the search warrant specify, if not videos and photographs?
If I didn’t know better, I might think that those in power don’t want us to know anything about Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation.
As further evidence that there is ABSOLUTELY NO COVER-UP: The New York Times has never breathed a single word about the CDs lost in the FBI’s botched search. Nor has The Washington Post. Nor the Chicago Tribune. Nor the Los Angeles Times.
Wait — I’ll make this easier. Here’s a list of all the major U.S. newspapers that did report on Maguire’s breathtaking revelation:
1) The Miami Herald
2) The New York Post
The end.
Oddly, media in the rest of the world seemed to find Maguire’s testimony about the vanishing CDs somewhat more newsworthy. The story of the missing tapes was covered — repeatedly — in The Daily Telegraph (London), The Independent (United Kingdom), The Daily Mail (Ireland), Economic News (Russia) and the Daily Mail (U.K.), among others.
The totally not-a-cover-up gets weirder and weirder.
Epstein had vast wealth, and we still don’t know where it came from. Normally, the IRS is extremely curious about unexplained flows of riches. Did the IRS decide in this case, Well, he may be a committed and energetic pedophile, but as far as we know, he’s a conscientious taxpayer!
Similarly, there are vague claims that he made his money from “investments.” The SEC wasn’t the least bit interested in finding out how he got this rich from secretive “investment” services?
And this: Epstein spent decades aggressively cultivating powerful, important men, quite a few from foreign countries — evidently taping all their activities. Why wasn’t the CIA concerned? Couldn’t he have sold dirt on U.S. politicians to foreign intel agencies?
Finally, it’s odd that our government wasn’t concerned about how much blackmail material Epstein had gathered on high-level U.S. officials. Doesn’t the FBI try to prevent that sort of situation? Or the Secret Service?
How was it that all these agencies let Epstein keep up his activities for so long?
There’s much more to this story. Stay tuned for next week!
