Up until that morning Lutnick’s name was not well known outside of Wall St. circles. In the weeks that followed the public got to know him as the guy who stopped the paychecks of all his recently vaporized employees before the dust had even settled around the smoking crater that used to be two of the world’s tallest buildings1. Lutnick’s company’s action left the families of his employees without expected income just as they were grappling with the trauma of losing a loved one in a terrorist attack. I share that factoid not because it’s particularly germane to the topic we’ll be covering here but because it effectively sets the stage as far as what kind of person we’re talking about when we talk about Howard Lutnick.Continue readingUSPS Incurs $9.5 Billion Loss Despite Raising Stamp PricesEtienne Note: This article also appears in “Government”, Media and Academia Criminality Exposed, A digest of HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of articles exposing and suggesting inter-generational organized crime’s control of the “Government,” Media and Academia by the Art of Liberty Foundation.

This financial instrument consists of two main components; the first being Bitcoin itself, a distributed digital asset boasting deflationary monetary policy and trustless settlement on a transparent ledger; while the second is privately-issued tokenized government debt that operates on public blockchains, known as dollar stablecoins.Continue reading…”Daily News of The WeekShrinkflation nation: The hidden price hike in your shopping cartBy StudyFinds StaffWEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — If you’ve ever wondered whether that family-size cereal box is getting a little less family-friendly, you’re not alone. A report from Purdue University confirms what eagle-eyed shoppers have long suspected: our groceries are going on an unprecedented diet. In fact, over three-quarters of American consumers report noticing their favorite food products shrinking while prices stay the same. This practice, known as “shrinkflation,” has become increasingly prevalent in grocery stores across the nation, with snack foods being the primary culprit of this subtle downsizing strategy.The October 2024 Consumer Food Insights report, conducted by Purdue University’s Center for Food Demand Analysis and Sustainability (CFDAS), found that 77% of consumers have noticed shrinkflation in their grocery purchases over the past 30 days. The findings paint a picture of widespread awareness among shoppers, though many may still be missing the signs of this stealth price increase tactic.Continue readingWhy Roger Ver Deserves a Presidential PardonBy Aaron DayThe US government is attempting to imprison Roger Ver for 109 years for the crime of following his lawyers’ advice. His case represents an unprecedented attack on attorney-client privilege that threatens everyone who relies on professional counsel.Today, Ver sits silenced in Spain, unable to defend himself publicly, while prosecutors use his own lawyers’ records against him—records that show his meticulous attempts to follow the law. This isn’t just about cryptocurrency; it’s about whether any American can safely consult legal counsel without fear of prosecution.If this precedent stands, seeking professional advice could become evidence of criminality. Business owners, entrepreneurs, and ordinary citizens who rely on lawyers and accountants will all be at risk. The time to act is now, before this dangerous precedent becomes permanent.Continue readingThe sad, silly spectacle of Jake Paul and Mike TysonEtienne Note: The Tyson-Paul Fight also had what smelled like Paid-For/Product Placement of Statism / Flag Worship AND cultural debasement.  I called both of my 20-something sons and told them not to watch women fighting which also smelled like product-placed cultural debasement along with the promotion of Jake Paul which smells like Enter-Tain-Mente product-placed cultural debasement.. brought to you by Netflix co-founded by the Marc Bernays Randolph, nephew of the father of paid for propaganda: Edward Bernays.by Sally JenkinsWas Jake Paul’s not the most punchable face in the history of punched faces? It was a face with all the character and lived experience of a canned ham. It was the consummate face of an influencer, with all the smirky grifting in search of the lux life that term suggests. There wasn’t a hint of true toughness — much less truth — in it. Just blandness cloaked in a poseur-pharaoh’s beard and topped by some box-color bleached curls, and God did you ever want Mike Tyson to put his very real fist in it.Continue readingInfowars Restored to Alex Jones in Total Reversal of Yesterday’s Shutdown…Etienne Note: I predicted over six months ago that nothing would come of the Alex Jones judgement..

The decision was reportedly shaped by North Korea ramping up support for President Vladimir Putin’s army and an increase in Russian missile and drone attacks on its neighbor. The approval represents a major U.S. policy shift and comes as the deep state-supported, dementia-ridden puppet Joe Biden is about to leave office and incoming President-elect Donald Trump has said he would bring about a swift end to the war and has expressed skepticism over continued support by the United States.Continue readingTrump To Declare National Emergency To Conduct Mass Deportationsby Tyler DurdenIn response to Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton’s post on Truth Social that Trump was “prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program,” Trump replied “TRUE!!””On day one, I will launch the largest deportation program … in the history of our country,” Trump said at one of his final campaign events in Pittsburgh on Nov. 4, a day before the election. “I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded … and we will put the vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail.”Officially, there are an estimated 11 million illegal migrants living in the US (and some say upwards of 20 million) who entered the country during the Biden administration. Trump has tapped Tom Homan, former acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), to serve as his “border czar,” as well as South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem as his secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to secure the border and expel those living in the country illegally.Continue readingUS Obesity Levels Are Particularly Severeby Tyler DurdenHowever, as Statista’s Anna Fleck reports, obesity prevalence was particularly high in the United States, with just over a third of respondents saying that they are obese in 2023.You will find more infographics at StatistaIn Chile and the United Kingdom rates were just above one in four, while Korea had the lowest share of people with obesity of the countries studied at just 4.9 percent.According to the World Health Organization, a body mass index (BMI) of over 25 is considered overweight, and over 30 obese.Obesity is linked to a range of health issues such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and several common cancers. Although awareness is increasing around the topic, obesity is still often misunderstood due to misconceptions of it being solely due to poor lifestyle choices, whereas factors such as genetic predisposition and environmental influences are also important.Continue readingOops, Science Was “Settled”—Until It Wasn’t: Plants Absorb 31% More CO₂ Than We Thoughtby Charles RotterA new study reveals that plants have been absorbing 31% more CO₂ than previously believed. Yes, 31%—a glaring error that casts serious doubt on climate models, emissions scenarios, and policy prescriptions like Net Zero. For years, we were told that the “science was settled,” and that urgent action was needed to avoid catastrophic warming. But this discovery suggests that our models have been dramatically underestimating nature’s ability to manage CO₂. This revelation not only upends the rationale behind aggressive policies but also raises broader questions about the supposed certainty of climate science.The phrase “settled science” has been the bedrock of climate advocacy for decades. We’ve been told that if we don’t make rapid, costly changes, we’d face imminent disaster. Skeptics were treated as heretics, while the so-called consensus was portrayed as unquestionable. Yet, it turns out we were 31% wrong about something as fundamental as plant CO₂ absorption. This isn’t a minor correction; it’s a massive revision that undermines the credibility of models driving policy.Continue readingBREAKING NEWS – Twice-Censored Landmark COVID-19 Vaccine Autopsy Study Fully Peer-Reviewed and Publishedby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHThe largest COVID-19 vaccine autopsy study to-date, providing robust evidence that COVID-19 vaccines can cause death, has been officially republished following successful peer-review in the journal Science, Public Health Policy, and the Law: A Systematic Review Of Autopsy Findings In Deaths After COVID-19 Vaccination. This comes after unethical censorship on two occasions: first, removal from Preprints with the Lancet and later, withdrawal by Elsevier after publication in Forensic Science International.Here’s what we found:Background: The rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines, combined with a high number of adverse event reports, have led to concerns over possible mechanisms of injury including systemic lipid nanoparticle (LNP) and mRNA distribution, Spike protein-associated tissue damage, thrombogenicity, immune system dysfunction, and carcinogenicity. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate possible causal links between COVID-19 vaccine administration and death using autopsies and post-mortem analysis.Continue readingDr. Mercola Covers Documentary: Fast Food Baby AND Realities of Kids Addicted to Fast FoodThe documentary “The Babies Addicted to Fast Food” reveals an emerging crisis of fast-food addiction in young childrenEarly fast-food addiction leads to short-term health issues like tooth decay, anemia and rickets, while setting children up for future chronic diseases and mental health problemsResearch shows strong links between ultraprocessed food consumption and increased risks of cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, anxiety, depression and other serious health conditionsPractical tips for healthier eating include making gradual dietary changes, involving children in meal preparation and joining support groups to help families transition away from fast-food dependencyBreaking the fast-food cycle requires avoiding ultraprocessed foods, prioritizing home-cooked meals, creating supportive environments and managing stress that leads to convenience food choicesContinue readingWhy do we only support mob-rule when our mob wins?By Iain DavisThe internet and the streets are awash with US Democrat voters moaning about the tyranny they fear will be imposed upon them by Republican voters. As recently highlighted by Larken Rose, their hypocrisy has reached the level of absurdity. If they don’t like mob-rule, why do they keep voting for it?“Representative democracy” is not democracy. Demokratia is power exercised directly by the people, not a tiny gaggle of oligarch serving toadies who claim to represent the people. “Representative democracy” is just another term for oligarchy.In a real democracy the legislature, the executive and the judiciary are exclusively formed from or controlled by a random, rotating sortition of the people. The people design legislation, the people enact legislation and, most importantly, the people judge the practical application of statute and precedent law in courts formed and led by randomly selected juries.Continue readingFlashback: The Federal Bureau of Tweets: Twitter Is Hiring an Alarming Number of FBI Agentsby Alan MacleodSAN FRANCISCO – Twitter has been on a recruitment drive of late, hiring a host of former feds and spies. Studying a number of employment and recruitment websites, MintPress has ascertained that the social media giant has, in recent years, recruited dozens of individuals from the national security state to work in the fields of security, trust, safety and content.Chief amongst these is the Federal Bureau of Investigations. The FBI is generally known as a domestic security and intelligence force. However, it has recently expanded its remit into cyberspace. “The FBI’s investigative authority is the broadest of all federal law enforcement agencies,” the “About” section of its website informs readers. “The FBI has divided its investigations into a number of programs, such as domestic and international terrorism, foreign counterintelligence [and] cyber crime,” it adds.Continue readingEuropa – The Last Battle – The most Important Documentary to watch for your final awakening.Etienne Note: There is much I disagree with in this documentary..

Only a single narrative of the great conflict has been heard. This narrative totally ignores critical history leading up to WWII, ignores vital information from the actual war years, and outright fabricates lie after lie.We’re today living in the world of the victors of that war and without an objective & rational view of our history, we’re doomed to repeat the mistakes. After WWII, the victors of the war not only went on to write our history books, infiltrate our media and public education but even criminalizing the mere questioning of the official story’s orthodoxy. The truth is, that our world today can only be understood through a correct understanding of World War II & the architects of it.Continue readingWho Really Profits from The Ukraine War?by Wisdom LandFew people understand what the war in Ukraine means for big business—namely, opportunity. It’s not just the weapons and reconstruction contracts. Ukraine’s vast agricultural lands—among the most fertile in the world—are up for grabs, and American companies like BlackRock are at the front of the line. RFK Jr. Deftly and clearly explains.JP Morgan and BlackRock — From Financiers of Destruction to Half-Trillion Dollar ‘Heroes’ of Reconstruction – The Hypocrisy of Reconstruction of Ukraine by the Same Corporations that Profited from the WarJP Morgan and BlackRock, along with consultancy McKinsey & Company, are collaborating with the Ukrainian government to establish a reconstruction fund. The objective of this fund is to attract significant investments for the country’s reconstruction, which could cost between $400 billion and $1 trillion, depending on estimates. This fund, known as the Fund for the Development of Ukraine, will use a “blended finance” approach to mobilize both public and private capital, targeting priority sectors such as infrastructure, climate and agriculture.Continue readingThe True Impact of Grass Fed Beef: Why Your Meat’s Origin Matters More Than You Thinkby Ashley ArmstrongGrass fed and grain-fed cattle follow dramatically different paths after their first 7 to 9 months. Grass fed cattle continue grazing naturally until 20 to 28 months, while grain-fed are moved to feedlots and fattened rapidly with corn and soy-based diets until 15 to 18 monthsConventional feedlot operations expose cattle to numerous chemicals including antibiotics, growth hormones, pesticides in feed, and routine vaccinations — with pesticide residues in animal feed allowed to be up to 100 times higher than what’s permitted in human-consumed grainsGrain-fed beef can contain higher levels of phytoestrogens and other endocrine-disrupting compounds due to soy and grain-based feeds, while grass fed beef naturally contains lower levels of these potentially harmful substancesGrass fed beef offers superior nutrition with up to twice the riboflavin, three times the thiamine, four times the vitamin E, and 1.5 to 3 times more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) compared to grain-fed beefContinue readingBIG NEWS: 2020/1 Internal files released by Germany’s esteemed Robert Koch Institute confirm the ‘pandemic’ was faked.

We conducted a five-part investigation into the conference and the HBO producers involved in the documentary and came to the conclusion that it was a CIA “Smear & Steer” operation to deal drugs into the developing voluntaryist movement, promote controlled opposition voices, steal the oxygen from authentic voluntaryist conferences, and rip off voluntaryists and libertarians with crypto-scams and pump & dumps. One of the drug dealers featured in the series is now a co-producer of the animated corpse of the conference that stumbles along ripping off newbies that don’t know the history…You can find links to all five installments of the investigation in our summary article: Chumped: The Unfortunate Truth About Anarchapulco and HBO’s Series: The Anarchists. The investigation includes links to other Jeff Berwick scams including Galt’s Gulch Chile, where voluntaryist and libertarian investors lost millions of dollars, his scam to sell Mexican passports to potential ex-pats where he failed to deliver, and a variety of scams and crypto “pump & dumps” promoted at the Anarchapulco conference and on his show webvlog: Anarcast.He is evidently at it again, selling a $10,000 medical device “the TZLA machine” that looks like a collection of fluorescent bulbs, wires & a tool box… There is a spark gap on the tool box and some lights so obviously it is producing, to quote Jeff: “God Energy”…Continue readingHuge study reveals striking decline in the desire to stand out and be uniqueby Eric W. DolanA recent study published in Collabra: Psychology has found a notable decline in people’s motivation to stand out or be unique over the past two decades. Researchers analyzed data from over one million people between 2000 and 2020, measuring various aspects of uniqueness, including willingness to defend beliefs, adherence to rules, and concern over others’ reactions. Results revealed declines across all three areas.The new study was motivated by evidence suggesting that people are increasingly concerned about the social consequences of expressing opinions, particularly in online spaces where scrutiny is often harsh and widespread. Polling data and past research suggested that fear of isolation or criticism might make people more cautious about sharing beliefs or acting in ways that draw attention.Continue readingCynical tricks of food giants that are making so many obese. This is how the smartest people on earth make ultra-processed food irresistible and train you to snack, reveals DR CHRIS VAN TULLEBy Chris Van Tulleken For The Daily Mail.We’re all eating too many calories and too much sugar, salt and saturated fat – but you don’t need me to tell you that.However, the thing that has eluded scientists until recently is why.After all, sugar, salt and fat have been cheap and available for a long time – but it’s only in the past few decades that obesity has soared. What happened?’Bliss-point’, ‘sonic branding’, ‘vanishing caloric density’, ‘snackification’, ‘stomach share’ and ‘hyperpalatability’ is what happened – these are just some of the terms that explain why food-related disease is fast overtaking tobacco as the leading cause of early death in this country and globally.These terms refer to just some of the covert tactics being used by the food manufacturers with one aim in mind: to make us buy and eat more, and then still more.Continue readingJust What Exactly Is ‘The Black Eye Club,’ And Why Are So Many Celebrities A Part Of It?By Sean LaeryHow many people in the past year have you seen who have had black eyes?Just in general, how many people can you remember having black eyes in your life over the past year, two years, five years, ten years?Unless you’re a boxer, you train in MMA, or you run an underground fight club (damn! I wasn’t supposed to talk about that!), you probably don’t see many, if any, folks with black eyes running around. Heck, I trained in karate, boxing, tae kwan do, and muy thai kickboxing over the course of about about 20 years, and I didn’t even see that many folks with black eyes.And yet, somehow, there’s been an epidemic of black eyes on celebrities and public figures over the past couple of years.Which is incredibly strange, and even stranger the more you think about it.I mean, think about the fact that we proletarians among the working class hoi paloi rarely see people walking around among us with black eyes, and we mix and mingle at places which could potentially afford us a much greater chance of encountering them. We don’t have bodyguards, or secret service agents, and we don’t mingle with the rich and famous, who don’t exactly swim in dangerous circles of potential fisticuffs. “After all, who wants to break a nail after that $5,000 manicure, am I right? Am I right?”Continue readingThe Most Devastating COVID Report So FarBy Dr. Joseph MercolaStory at GlanceA House committee report revealed the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ $900 million “We Can Do This” COVID campaign was flawed and claimed COVID shots prevented transmission despite FDA stating there was no such evidenceCDC’s shifting mask guidelines and reversals on recommendations damaged public trust, with changes appearing politically motivated rather than based on scientific evidenceThe government aggressively promoted COVID shots for children despite low risk levels, using emotional manipulation and fear-based messaging through the Fors Marsh Group PR firmClinical trial studies showed significant bias in measuring COVID shot effectiveness, with case-counting window bias making ineffective shots appear 50% to 70% effectivePfizer and Moderna vaccine trials revealed higher risks of serious adverse events than initially reported, with Pfizer showing 36% higher risk compared to placebo groupsContinue reading24 Brain Damaging Habits You Need to Break TodayBy Good Minds QuoteWe often underestimate how our daily habits can silently erode our mental well-being. You might think some things are harmless, or even normal, but when done excessively, they become damaging. Let’s take a closer look at 24 brain-damaging habits and how you can break free from them to cultivate a healthier mind and life.We’ve all heard it—sleep is essential. Yet, many either deprive themselves of sleep or oversleep. Both can hurt your brain. Lack of sleep weakens memory and decision-making skills, while too much sleep can make you feel sluggish and depressed.Tip: Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep to keep your brain sharp and energized.We often reach for pills to solve problems—whether it’s for headaches, anxiety, or sleep. But overusing medication can fog your brain, create dependency, and numb emotional responses.Reality check: Use medications wisely, and always explore natural alternatives like meditation, exercise, and diet adjustments when possible.Continue readingArms sales and mRNA vaccine sales should both be understood as protection racketsEtienne Note:  Russia, China, US, UK, Germany, Israel, etc. are all running “government” on their populations and tax farming them.  They menace each other as potential enemies so they can buy weapons systems they don’t really need at massively inflated prices where they are robbing those populations out the back door.  Occasionally, the organized crime system at the top recruits/drafts/conscripts as many of the strongest alpha males they can trick or force into the military to indoctrinate them and/or kill them off so they never have to face them as potential adversaries if they ever figure out who is REALLY their enemy…By Denis RancourtBoth USA arms sales to “allies” and USA mRNA vaccine sales are classic protection rackets.Wikipedia explains protection racket this way:A protection racket is a type of racket and a scheme of organized crime perpetrated by a potentially hazardous organized crime group that generally guarantees protection outside the sanction of the law to another entity or individual from violence, robbery, ransacking, arson, vandalism, and other such threats, in exchange for payments at regular intervals. Each payment is called “protection money” or a “protection fee”. An organized crime group determines an affordable or reasonable fee by negotiating with each of its payers, to ensure that each payer can pay the fee on a regular basis and on time. Protections rackets can vary in terms of their levels of sophistication or organization; it is not uncommon for their operations to emulate the structures or methods used by tax authorities within legitimate governments to collect taxes from taxpayers.Continue readingShocking Smoking Gun: Australia’s Health Regulator TGA’s Cover-Up of Vaccine-Related Deaths Exposed by Senator Gerard RennickBy Aussie17In a powerful and alarming address to the Australian Parliament, Senator Gerard Rennick exposed what he refers to as the “smoking gun” of a deliberate cover-up by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regarding vaccine safety. This revelation centers around the tragic case of a 52-year-old man who died suddenly in July 2021, just seven days after receiving the Pfizer vaccine, passing away in his own home before his family’s eyes.Despite the clear findings from an autopsy, which identified rapidly progressing myocarditis as the direct cause of death following the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination, the TGA has been accused of neglecting to report this critical information. The autopsy report, ultimately provided to the TGA, was seemingly ignored, falling in line with the TGA’s alarming admission that they do not solicit autopsy reports. This shocking oversight represents a gross disregard for public safety and transparency.Continue readingInternational Criminal Court issues arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallantby NYTThe International Criminal Court’s arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister, Yoav Gallant, were issued for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel has said that it killed Mr. Deif in an airstrike, but the court said it could not determine whether he was dead.Continue readingFiat Everything: When Decree Replaced RealityBy Josh StylmanWe live in a world where every essential human need—money, food, health, education, and even information—is controlled and manipulated by artificial systems. This matrix of artifice began with central bankers creating fiat currency: declaring something’s value, enforcing its use, and creating dependency. This template manufactured scarcity where none naturally exists, ensuring reliance on their systems. We see this pattern everywhere: money created from nothing yet always in short supply, abundant food made artificially scarce, natural healing rebranded as ‘alternative,’ wisdom replaced by credentials.The Federal Reserve conjures currency through debt monetization, each new dollar stealing value from every existing one. Through inflation, they silently rob almost all of your savings, turning your productive energy into their power. In 1913, a solid month’s work could buy a fine suit. Today it barely covers a week’s groceries. The labor didn’t change—the money did. Fiat currency itself is a kind of enforced dependency. Since the gold standard was abandoned in 1971, there has been no limit on their monetary manipulation.Continue readingA Free-Market Guide to Trump’s Immigration Crackdownby Ryan McMakenPresident-elect Donald Trump based much of his campaign on promises to crack down on immigration and carry out mass deportations.Politically, this was likely a winning issue for Trump after social media exposed millions of Americans to countless reports and videos of foreign nationals getting free cash, free housing, food allowances, and overall special treatment at taxpayer expense. Meanwhile, actual taxpaying Americans endured inflation-fueled price hikes and a worsening economy while being harangued by the smug upper classes about the need to be “welcoming.” Many voters chose to support the candidate who wasn’t in favor of importing a new taxpayer-subsidized underclass.Because of this, Trump is likely to prioritize delivering at least some of his promised immigration crackdown.Continue readingStomp The Brakes, US Road Safety Rules Requires Automatic Braking By 2029by #TBOT: Take Back Our TechEver drive a new car and see that it slows itself down when you get close to the car in front of you? That’s an automatic emergency braking (AEB) system, something that automakers ‘voluntarily’ started putting in all vehicles.The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is requiring all cars to be able to stop and avoid contact with the car in front of them at 62 mph. Automakers see this as an impossible task.Large auto insurance co-op AAA released a research report showing that newer cars with AEB (2024) were twice as likely to avoid a collision than a 2017 vehicle at speeds of 34 mile per hour.These newer systems use both camera and radar. What most people don’t realize is the radar emits extremely high frequency mmWave technology typically above 50 Ghz.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsFunky Fathers – CD Release Party – Dec 7th – The Ritz – San Jose- Doors: 8:00 PMRed Pill Friends – New Hampshire Liberty Tour- Fri., 12/13 The Root, Temple, NH, 7pm Tickets- Sat., 12/14 Harmony Mountain Eco-Farm, Lancaster, NH, 8pmrsvp & info call/text Cindy (603) 631-6139- Sun., 12/15 House Concert, Strafford, NH, 7pmrsvp & info email Molly mvanmeter [at] protonmail.comHow To Become The True Media – Mark Passio Seminar Series – Starts Jan 6thAn Intensive 23-Week Technology Skill-Sharing Seminar Hosted By MARK PASSIO Of WhatOnEarthIsHappening.com Every Monday 8:00 pm – 11:00 pm Eastern U.S. Time From Monday January 6, 2025 to Monday, June 9, 2025(Total of 23 Class Sessions)The Peoples Reset – January 29th-Feb 6th 2025 – Morelia, Mexico- Etienne de la Boetie2 will be a speakerMemes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekMusic Video: Unjected Gal by Scott ArmstrongFree State Project (New Hampshire) CornerNew Hampshire legislature special committee issues scathing report that eviscerates the federal and state COVID responseEtienne Note:  Another example of the success of the Free State Project which has moved thousands of libertarian and voluntaryist activists to New Hampshire to begin rolling back laws and exposing “government” corruption as they have with this special committee report criticizing and exposing the NH State “government’s” Covid response.  I recognized at least two of the Republicans as FSP members out of the five Republican members.  Probably more.  There are another 100ish members of the house that vote pro-freedom consistently.  The NH Liberty Alliance rates every single legislator base on if their votes are pro-liberty or anti-liberty and gives them a report card grade.by Steve KirschThe New Hampshire House of Representatives is about to publish a 38-page report created by a bipartisan committee of NH state legislators entitled, “Special Committee on Covid Response Efficacy: Report of Findings.”I got an advance copy that I can share with you.It’s glorious.In this article I summarize the highlights.In a nutshell:If you worked for the state or federal government, everything was done right.If you didn’t work for the government, everything was a disaster.Continue reading…Truth Music Trio Red Pill Friends Touring New Hampshire in DecemberEtienne Note: The Free State Project has moved thousands of liberty lovers to New Hampshire.

I did the Alfa Vedic podcast with Dr. Barre Lando & Mike WInner where I went on some EPIC rants but I think the one that is getting the most interest was where I break down my speculation that Elon Musk is an artificially created “high-status monkey” designed to steer perception and the behavioral psychology of why humans (and monkeys!) are biologically attracted to and willing to PAY to see pictures of higher-status monkeys/humans!  I provide more details in the article accompanying our version of the podcast on my Substack which is the main article in this week’s issue. Also interesting is the fact that all the interest has ramped up before the podcast has been published officially.  Everything so far has been from the folks who heard the live-stream and have been sharing it up!

The debt will likely get passed along to the Democratic National Committee and could burden the party as it works to rebuild after its catastrophic election season. President-elect Donald Trump is already scoring political points over the Democrats’ debt issues. Over the weekend, Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Whatever we can do to help them during this difficult period, I would strongly recommend we, as a Party and for the sake of desperately needed UNITY, do. We have a lot of money left over in that our biggest asset in the campaign was ‘Earned Media,’ and that doesn’t cost very much.”Continue readingCandidates Funded by AIPAC, a Pro-Israel Lobby, Sweep US Elections to Strengthen Pro-Israel Presence in Congressby Jerusalem Post and Walter HixsonThe Jerusalem Post wrote that AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a pro-Israel lobby, “aided 318 Zionist candidates to win so far in the recent US elections.” This foreign lobby is not registered as a Foreign Agents Registration Act although it has huge influence over US foreign policy and war. Author Walter Hixson says that AIPAC is the most powerful lobby representing any foreign country in all of American history. He said that all members of Congress, in both parties, know that if they criticize Israel, they will be targeted for replacement and their opponents will receive campaign funding. In 2022, AIPAC backed 365 candidates and 342 of them won their elections. He said that this Jewish Zionist organization preferred Trump to win the presidency because “Trump is a blank check” and he will do whatever Israel asks.Continue reading”They Just Got Handed Fraudulent Books” – Ed Dowd Confirms Our Warning That Trump Is ‘Inheriting A Turd Of An Economy’by Tyler DurdenFormer Wall Street money manager Ed Dowd is a skillful financial analyst who said in May the economy was skidding.  Now, Dowd predicts the economy is poised to “roll over” and soon. Why is the Fed cutting rates with a record high DOW?  Maybe they see the same thing he does.  Dowd explains, “Real weekly wage growth was minus 2% going into the election.  It is also interesting to know that minus 2% number of wage growth was also in 1980 when Ronald Reagan won in a landslide and also in 1992 when Bill Clinton won in a landslide…”Continue readingGet Ready for the Republican Carbon Marketby Whitney WebbWhile many Republicans for years have railed against the official narrative around climate change and many of the solutions promoted to mitigate it, climate finance is poised to make a comeback over the next 4 years, despite Republicans taking both the White House and the legislature by a significant margin. This is because many of the most influential names in the incoming Trump administration, as well as the previous one, have become intimately involved in creating carbon markets in recent years, while others have a long-standing track record of pushing carbon taxes and other forms of “carbon pricing.”Continue reading”Daily News of The Week”A.I. – The Plan to Invade Humanityby ForbiddenNews SubstackRecently, I wrote that Sabrina Wallace had put together the most cohesive presentation about the Anti-Human Agenda but I had forgotten about the work of Cyrus Parsa, who I saw speak a few times on alt media, in 2021-2022 before he abruptly fell off the map.I was recently sent Cyrus’ excellent and important 2020 video, ‘AI The Plan to Invade Humanity’. This video echoes many of the claims of Sabrina Wallace – but with the added claim that the agenda to connect the human biofield to the Cloud via 6G wireless communications technology is not human, in origin.It should be obvious to anyone paying attention that the Anti-Human Agenda of the Globalists is so anti-human that it simply cannot be human.Since June of 2021, I’ve noted that the Biden administration’s rush to inject “at least 70%” of the US population with “manipulative magnetic nano-medicine” and with self-assembling nanotechnology reminded me of the classic, mid-20th century Alien Abduction Scenario and how the implantation of tracking devices had been a recurring theme of such stories since the 1961 Betty and Barney Hill case.Continue readingUS Approves GMO Wheat Grown with Neurotoxic Herbicideby Dr. Joseph MercolaThe U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently approved the cultivation of genetically modified (GM) wheat, raising concerns about its long-term effects on health and the environmentHB4, the world’s first genetically modified wheat, was developed by Argentine company Bioceres. It’s engineered for both drought tolerance and resistance to the herbicide glufosinate ammoniumGlufosinate ammonium has been banned in several countries, including the European Union. It’s classified as a neurotoxin and has been linked to developmental and reproductive health issuesThe approval of GM wheat prioritizes corporate interests over public health and environmental protection. Its initial approval in Argentina has raised concerns about conflicts of interest and lack of independent oversightContinue readingVaccine ‘Quietly’ Pulled Off Market in 2007 Now Linked to 19 Diseases — 35 Million Babies Who Got the Shot Now at Risk as Adults.by Brenda Baletti, Ph.D., The DefenderThe thimerosal-free HibTITER pediatric vaccine marketed by Wyeth from 2003 through 2007 was associated with 19 different medical conditions, according to a study published Tuesday in the International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine.The conditions include life-threatening side effects at rates “significantly higher” than other Hib vaccines.The study, by Children’s Health Defense (CHD) researcher Karl Jablonowski, Ph.D., and Brian Hooker, Ph.D., CHD chief scientific officer, compared adverse events among children who received HibTITER to those among children who received other Hib vaccines.Continue readingWoman Fired For Refusing COVID Vaccine Wins Record $12 Million From Rogue Employerby Ben KewA woman fired for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine has won a record $12 million settlement from her employer.Lisa Domski, who worked at the insurance company Blue Cross Blue as an IT specialist for over three decades, was fired from her position for refusing to take the jab, which has since been proven to have been neither safe nor effective.After suing the company for religious discirmination against her Catholic faith, Domski was awarded significant damages by a federal jury in Detroit, according to the Associated Press.The ruling included $10 million in punitive damages against Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, as well as $1.7 million in lost wages and $1 million in noneconomic damages.Her lawyer, Jon Marko, pointed out that during the so-called pandemic, Domski always worked remotely. Even before the virus broke out, the vast majority of her work was carried out remotely.Continue readingThe CDC Planned Quarantine Camps NationwideBy Jeffrey A. Tucker  No matter how bad you think Covid policies were, they were intended to be worse. Consider the vaccine passports alone. Six cities were locked down to include only the vaccinated in public indoor places. They were New York City, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and Seattle. The plan was to enforce this with a vaccine passport. It broke. Once the news leaked that the shot didn’t stop infection or transmission, the planners lost public support and the scheme collapsed. It was undoubtedly planned to be permanent and nationwide if not worldwide. Instead, the scheme had to be dialed back. Features of the CDC’s edicts did incredible damage. It imposed the rent moratorium. It decreed the ridiculous “six feet of distance” and mask mandates. It forced Plexiglas as the interface for commercial transactions. It implied that mail-in balloting must be the norm, which probably flipped the election. It delayed the reopening as long as possible. It was sadistic. Continue readingFINAL CUT Released — Episode 1 — 9/11: Crime Scene to Courtroomby Richard Gage, AIA – ArchitectThis is the latest and final version of Episode 1 — “9/11: Crime Scene to Courtroom”.

Unfortunately, the educational system rarely teaches students how to do that.•Effective learning requires actively rather than passively engaging with the required material and being conscious of what is going on inside your body and mind so that you can determine which approaches are correct for you.•Many of the same factors that determine overall health and neurological health (e.g., a healthy sleep cycle and adequate circulation throughout the body) also directly influence your capacity to study and memorize.•In this article, I will review the various approaches and supplements that we have found to be the most helpful in improving memory retention and supporting academic success (along with increasing the lucidity of dreams if taken right before bed).Continue readingGermany and the Netherlands begin unlocking the COVID secrets: in each case, the doctors allegedly making decisions were taking orders from elsewhereby Meryl NassThe Netherlands had an election a few months back and the government changed. The country wound up with another globalist Prime Minister, and the former PM, Mark Rutte, was rewarded by being placed in charge of NATO on October 1. Where he is currently sabre-rattling over North Korean soldiers on European soil.Elsa Agema, the new Health Minister however, was apparently not wedded to protecting her predecessor, and spilled some beans recently. You can see her answering questions, and the second video has English subtitles.She admits that the Health Ministry and several other ministries were taking orders from the counterterrorism department, and implies NATO was involved — regarding how to manage and message the pandemic response. She indicates there was a legal obligation to do as told. I do not know the language, am relying on others’ interpretations, and appreciate native speakers clarifying if I got this wrong. Her body language suggests she was being defensive and nervous.Continue readingHasbara’s Birth: Israel’s War on Media ExposedBy Kit KlarenbergAll my investigations are free to access, thanks to the generosity of my readers.

To buy me a coffee or two, please click this link.Ever since Israel’s October 1st invasion of Lebanon, the Western media has been a witting, willing accomplice to the sadistic, criminal assault. Mainstream journalists have worked overtime to whitewash, distort, and conceal the Zionist entity’s murderous rampage, which has claimed thousands of civilian lives, and injured and displaced many more. Serving as Tel Aviv’s perpetual megaphone and apologist is a role for which major news outlets have eagerly volunteered for decades. Their crusade has only become turbocharged following the Gaza genocide erupting.Continue readingPeter Thiel is a Vampireby The Corbett ReportIf you’ve read “The Strange Story of Peter Thiel,” then you’ll know all about how this deep state-connected “PayPal Mafia” don rose to financial prominence on the back of his remarkable ability to found companies that either undergird the digital financial infrastructure (PayPal) or act as cutouts for the intelligence agencies (Palantir).And if you’ve read “Buying Politicians is Easy,” then you’ll know all about how Thiel has leveraged his ill-gotten wealth to buy himself real-world political clout. And you’ll also know all about how he has wrapped the silicon tentacles of next-gen military contractors like Palantir, Clearview AI, Anduril and other Thiel-founded, Thiel-funded and Thiel-adjacent companies around the globe by signing contracts with foreign militaries.But after learning all of this, we’re still left with some important questions.

The 30-MW demonstrator is scheduled to go online by 2030.Solar power holds the promise of clean electricity but it has a number of problems. Not the least of these is that the Sun has a nasty habit of setting on a daily basis – if it isn’t unavailable already due to bad weather.Since the 1970s, one serious proposal for overcoming the shortcomings of ground-based solar power is to move the collectors off the Earth and into geosynchronous orbit. At an altitude of 22,236 miles (35,786 km), such a power station would remain fixed in the sky in one spot over the Earth where there would be near-continuous sunlight unfiltered by air, clouds, or dust.Continue readingROUND THE BEND Crazy plan for world’s longest skyscraper ‘Big Bend’ – and there is a very good reason for its odd U-shapeby James EvendenCRAZY plans for the longest skyscraper have been revealed and show an odd-looking U-shaped building that would overcome the “limit of the skies”.The proposed “Big Bend” in Manhattan, New York, plans to become the longest building in the world at a staggering 4,000ft in one continuous upside down U.The Big-Bend will sacrifice height for length in its bid to challenge the limits of New York’s skylineCredit: oiioThe U-Shape is fitted with windows on its frontCredit: oiioThe imposing plan has drawn criticism from experts who claim it will ruin New York’s skylineCredit: OiioThe bizarre shaped building has been designed this way to find a clever cost solution to strict planning laws.The taller the skyscraper is the more expensive it is, so curving it is provides a unique loophole.Continue readingThe Incoming Trump Administration Is Already Filling Up With War SlutsBy Caitlin JohnstoneDonald Trump has named Republican congressman Mike Waltz as his next national security advisor, a position that was held by ultrahawk John Bolton in the last Trump administration.Like Bolton, Waltz is a warmongering freak. Journalist Michael Tracey has been filling up his Twitter page since the announcement with examples of Waltz’s insane hawkishness, including his support for letting Ukraine use US weapons to strike deep into Russian territory, criticizing Biden for not escalating aggressively enough in Ukraine, advocating bombing Iran, opposing the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan, and naming Iran, North Korea, China, Russia and Venezuela as “on the march” against the United States toward global conflict. The mainstream press are calling Waltz a “China hawk”, but from the look of things he’s a war-horny hawk toward all the official enemies of the United States.Continue readingHoward Lutnick, the Wall Street Billionaire Staffing Trump’s Cabinet, Hosted a Fundraiser for Hillary Clinton’s Presidential Bid in 2016By Pam Martens and Russ MartensOn Friday evening, August 2, Howard Lutnick, the Chairman and CEO of the Wall Street trading house, Cantor Fitzgerald, held a fundraiser populated by the super wealthy at his home in the Hamptons. The bash was to help presidential candidate Donald Trump shore up his sagging campaign coffers. Tickets went for $25,000 each or $50,000 if you wanted a photo with Trump. You could be listed on the program as a host for a mere $500,000. According to Lutnick, the event raised $15 million. According to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records, Lutnick himself was responsible for a third of that amount. He wrote out a check for $5 million to the Trump campaign the Monday after the event.Not long thereafter, Trump announced Lutnick as Co-Chair of his transition team, a post he shares with former World Wrestling Entertainment chief executive Linda McMahon. Lutnick is now widely reported to be the person overseeing the hiring of thousands of employees, including high level positions, in the Trump administration.Continue readingRock-Bottom Meal Plan for Those Weeks When Money Is Tightby Daisy Luther(Psst: The FTC wants me to remind you that this website contains affiliate links.

Kellogg’s Cereal Heiress Exposes Kellogg’s Froot Loops and says to “BOYCOTT”By Food BabeEver since we delivered 400,000 signed petitions to Kellogg’s headquarters asking them to sell us the same safer cereals they sell in other countries, I have been contacted several insiders and whistleblowers who want to help our campaign. I was contacted by Victoria Kellogg, the great great great granddaughter of W.K. Kellogg, the founder of Kellogg’s, who started the business selling Corn Flakes to the public in 1906.Victoria said that she wanted to advocate for our petition asking Kellogg’s to drop artificial food dyes from their cereals in America. When I called her and asked her if she would be willing to do a live interview, she said yes. I never thought a member of the Kellogg’s legacy family would ever want to speak out about their unethical business practices. But she did. And it’s one of the most heroic conversations I have had. I am so impressed by her courage to demand a boycott on Kelloggs, even though it will affect her financially.Continue reading‘Bitcoin Jesus’ Fights IRS Tax Evasion Case From Spanish Islandby David Voreacos and Olga Kharif(Bloomberg) — To his followers, Roger Ver is known as Bitcoin Jesus, a charismatic advocate of the cryptocurrency that is once again captivating investors with record-breaking gains. But to the Internal Revenue Service, Ver symbolizes a new target in the digital age: a crypto holder suspected of failing to pay taxes after selling tokens.US prosecutors charged Ver this year with evading more than $48 million in taxes for selling $240 million in tokens. It’s the most prominent case dealing solely with tax fraud and digital-asset sales, and marks a break from the tradition of prosecutors tacking tax charges onto crypto cases for crimes like money laundering, ransomware attacks and investor scams.Ver, 45, is awaiting a Spanish judge’s decision on whether he must be extradited to America after his April arrest in Barcelona while attending a crypto conference. The US expatriate spent a month in jail before getting out on bail and moving to Mallorca, where he’s received a steady stream of visitors. An outspoken critic of the US government, he said he’s being persecuted by prosecutors.Continue readingWhat is Going On with Cal Washington’s InPower Movement?The Trespassing Technology (Smart Meter) cause is the first available for Japanese Members, with the first ever Notice of Liability (NoL) being released last week for the country as part of InPower’s mass liability action to restore balance and demand accountability Earth-wide.This NoL has been in the works for the past year, with InPower volunteers working tirelessly to help translate the commercial process for application against the agenda, which has seen approximately 80 million smart meters commence operation nationwide, according to several business and media reports.It is a welcome opportunity for men and women to join the mass liability action, and take a stand against this harmful agenda rolling out across Japan.For more information on this Earth-wide movementA third NoL is now available for Ireland, hot off the press, and ready for use against the Wireless Radiation (5G) Agenda by Irish Members.Continue readingInfowars Website Down Hours After Onion Buys In Bankruptcyby Tyler Durden(Update 1130ET): Hours after yesterday’s auction, Infowars.com is now down.

Everyone is so hungry.Over the past week, my family and I have resorted to eating canned pet food mixed with poor-quality rice that feels like chewing plastic. We live in Deir al-Balah, and like everywhere else in Gaza, there is nothing to buy in the markets. We typically eat one meal a day, usually some canned food along with olive oil and za’atar. To bake bread, we have to use bug-infested flour. Some days, when we are unable to find anything else, we are forced to pay absurd prices for vegetables that are rotten. I have severe stomach pains. I would rather fast than eat this.I dream of food every day. I imagine our fridge full of meat, lettuce, milk, and cheese. I sometimes talk to myself at night, when I’m hungry and have nothing to eat. I dream of when I will be able to sit at a dinner table with my family again. My nephew and niece, both 2 years old, wake up every day crying for an egg. Their mothers don’t know what to do. To distract them a bit, we show them videos of eggs on the internet.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsEtienne Note: Looks like the CIA Anarchapulco Team will be there!

Wiles will be the first woman to serve as chief of staff. “Susie Wiles just helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history, and was an integral part of both my 2016 and 2020 successful campaigns,” Trump said in the statement this evening announcing his selection. “Susie is tough, smart, innovative, and is universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again.”Until earlier this year, Susie Wiles was a lobbyist for tobacco company Swisher International, for which she worked to influence Congress on “FDA regulations,” according to disclosures filed with the Senate. Wiles has not filed a termination report for her work with Swisher, but she has not reported lobbying for the company since the first quarter of the year, when the company paid her firm Mercury Public Affairs $30,000 in fees. Continue reading“Panic” erupts at the IDF after Israeli soldiers learn about online Genocide Trackerby Ethan HuffAn X / Twitter account called “Israel Genocide Tracker” (@trackingisrael) is sparking panic within the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) as soldiers worry about getting doxed for killing civilians in the Gaza Strip.Middle East Eye (MEE) released a video about the saga, which you can watch below.Created back in May, the Israel Genocide Tracker says it “scans social media and gathers data on Israeli soldiers from previous posts they had published boasting about their actions in Gaza.””It then creates a profile for each soldier, including personal information such as their name, age, family origin, and army unit,” an MEE report explains. “According to TRT, which cited Israel’s Channel 12 News, multiple soldiers have expressed concerns over the account.”One soldier reportedly told Channel 12 that he is “afraid” the Israel Genocide Tracker will allow people to “Google my name and find it there.”Continue reading”Daily News of The WeekNo, The New Testament Does Not Teach Socialismby Alex BernardoI started taking my faith seriously when I was 15, and, in a stereotypically Lutheran fashion, immediately began reading my Bible. It became obvious to me after one reading of the New Testament that Christians were obligated to take care of the poor and should be extremely charitable. It was equally apparent how money and wealth can easily corrupt even the most virtuous of people and that I needed to live modestly and generously. As a public school student, I naturally assumed that Christians were called to be socialists. After all, about the only economic knowledge I had were platitudes about how socialism ‘helps poor people’ and capitalism ‘is greed’. Christians aren’t greedy, right?As I got older, I saw how taxes can hurt people on the margins and that welfare sometimes enabled human degeneracy. I would assert that we only needed a little socialism. Why should I care if the government takes some of my money and gives it to poor people? It makes my job of being charitable much easier! I had yet to be confronted with basic economics. That moment came in the fall of 2016, when, after 8 years of being a bi-vocational student minister, I decided to get a real job and go to graduate school to become a teacher (so ‘real job’ might be a bit of a stretch…). I was forced, at the age of 27, to crack open a textbook on economics for the first time. From the opening pages of A Survey of Economics by Irvin Tucker, I was hooked. The most shocking discovery was that I had been wrong about ‘capitalism’ and ‘socialism’. According to Tucker, capitalism had but two characteristics: the private ownership of the factors of production and decentralized economic decision-making. Socialism was the exact opposite: government (or “public”) control of the factors of production and centralized economic decision-making. Nothing about greed, charity, morality, or anything else I had associated with these two terms. After a few days of reflection, I realized that I had been a capitalist all along and soon started calling myself a libertarian. For an economics textbook that didn’t mention the Austrian school save for a passing reference to Hayek (but several pages on Keynes and Marx), it convinced me that free markets work.Continue readingLetter to Dads on Vaccination – Don’t Fall For It!by Sasha LatypovaAn Open Letter to DadsOctober, 2024.I am writing this to my fellow dads for one reason: to convince you to stop pushing for your children to be injected with vaccines.  Whatever you think you are doing, the tragic truth is that you are maiming, sterilizing and killing your kids.  You are decimating your family line.  Please stop before it is too late.Stop pushing “immunization” and “vaccination” shots on your kids.  There are no “good shots.”  They are all bad.  Please do not dismiss that last sentence; let it sink in.  None of the “vaccine” or “immunization” shots are beneficial.  All that they present to your child is risk of physical harm, possibly serious or even life-threatening, with no therapeutic or health-supporting benefits.The agencies that were supposed to be overseeing these products have not been.  The entire history of U.S. federal “regulation” of “biological products” (including “vaccines”) has been a massive fraud.[1]  This history has been meticulously documented by Katherine Watt, recently joined by Lydia Hazel, on the Substack blog, “Bailiwick News.”[2]Continue readingFlashback: Why Israel Created Hamas – Analysis by Swiss Propaganda Researchby swprs.orgInsider insights into the creation of Hamas – and other designated terrorist groups.∗∗∗“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas.” – Benjamin Netanyahu (2019)“In the visible dimension Hamas is an enemy, in the hidden dimension it is an ally.”– IDF Major General Gershon Hacohen (2019)“Israel started Hamas. It was a project of Shin Bet.”– Charles Freeman, US diplomat and ambassador (2006)∗∗∗Since the founding of Hamas in 1987, Israeli, American and Palestinian officials have repeatedly acknowledged that Israel did indeed help create and fund the Islamist group.The point made by many of these officials is not that Israel “allowed” the rise of Hamas or that Hamas emerged in response to Israeli “occupation” of Palestine. Rather, their point was and is that Israel’s intelligence agencies actively helped create and finance the Hamas group.Continue readingIsrael’s oldest and most influential newspaper calls for an end to ethnic cleansing and asks other nations to sanction Israel to end hostilitiesby Meryl’s CHAOS NewsletterAmos Shocken, editor (and owner) of the most influential, Israeli daily conservative newspaper, Ha’aretz (equivalent to the NY Times) called upon other countries to take action by imposing sanctions on Israel for its implementation of ethnic cleansing and a second NAKBA (the 1948 forced evacuation and massacres of Palestinians. For Palestinians, Nakba is akin to the Holocaust).Shocken urged the countries of the world force Israel to recognize Palestinian statehood.In response, Israel’s “justice minister” Yariv Levin demanded that a law be passed imposing  20-year prison sentences for any Israeli who calls for sanctions…https://skwawkbox.org/2024/11/02/israeli-justice-minister-calls-for-law-for-20yr-prison-sentences-for-israelis-who-call-for-sanctions/This is what Ha’aretz is printing these days:Continue readingPrep Your Apartment or Suburban Home for Riots and Civil Unrest: How to Get Ready FASTby Daisy LutherA highly contentious election is taking place this week, and it won’t take much for chaos to erupt. It’s important to remember that political violence is no longer just the domain of big cities. Wherever you live, you may need to get ready fast.When you live in an urban or suburban location and it looks like all heck is about to break loose, how can you prepare your place fast for the potential of unrest? As we’ve seen in cities across the country, a peaceful protest can turn into a violent riot in the blink of an eye. How do you prepare when the spark is lit in your hometown?While our first recommendation on this website is always “don’t be there” we know there are some situations in which leaving isn’t an option.Therefore, this article is based on the premise that, for whatever reason, you’re going to need to hunker down in your home. The reason you’re there doesn’t matter – the concept is simply that you’re there. With only a couple of exceptions, we’re also going to use things you can commonly find in homes with no special trips to the store.Continue readingThey Are Scrubbing the Internet Right NowBy Jeffrey A. Tucker andDebbie Lerman  Instances of censorship are growing to the point of normalization. Despite ongoing litigation and more public attention, mainstream social media has been more ferocious in recent months than ever before. Podcasters know for sure what will be instantly deleted and debate among themselves over content in gray areas. Some like Brownstone have given up on YouTube in favor of Rumble, sacrificing vast audiences if only to see their content survive to see the light of day. It’s not always about being censored or not. Today’s algorithms include a range of tools that affect searchability and findability. For example, the Joe Rogan interview with Donald Trump racked up an astonishing 34 million views before YouTube and Google tweaked their search engines to make it hard to discover, while even presiding over a technical malfunction that disabled viewing for many people. Faced with this, Rogan went to the platform X to post all three hours. Continue readingBritish King ‘making millions’ from secret property empire – Sunday Timesby www.rt.comBritish King Charles III and his son Prince William have contracts with UK taxpayer-funded public services, charities, government departments and even a prison, which help them earn millions every year, the Sunday Times has claimed. That’s in addition to the so-called sovereign grant the royals get from the government. In 2023 alone, Charles and William’s “private fiefdoms,” the Duchy of Lancaster and the Duchy of Cornwall – raised £27.4 million (over $35 million) and £23.6 million ($30 million) respectively for the British royal family, the newspaper found as part of a joint investigation with Channel 4’s Dispatches program.The paper said Saturday that they used the royal addresses to uncover their business contracts and discovered how the duchies are making money “via a series of commercial rents and feudal levies on land largely seized by medieval monarchs.”Continue readingGeneral Mark Milley Tells Bankers: “Thank You for Your Service”by Ken KlippensteinRetired Gen. Mark Milley gave a fawning speech on Monday to a sea of tailored suits at the American Bankers Association’s annual convention in New York. Since retiring from his role as the U.S. military’s top officer, Milley has found a new calling: sharing his “strategic” expertise with those who can make him money. Milley’s remarks give the impression that the Pentagon’s top brass is just as much at a loss for how to handle our forever wars as anyone.“As General Milley enjoys a well-deserved retirement, he’s actually busier than ever, and among his new responsibilities, he’s now a senior advisor to JP Morgan Chase,” said moderator Peter Cook,Former Pentagon Press Secretary turned Chief Communications Officer for the American Bankers Association. In warming up the crowd, Cook said that he had served alongside Milley during the Obama administration. “I had the honor of working alongside General Milley when I was serving as the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs and Pentagon Press Secretary under the late [Secretary of Defense] Ash Carter, and I saw firsthand General Milley’s leadership, his wise counsel.”Continue readingArmed Israeli settlers torch Palestinian homes, cars and olive trees across West BankBy Fayha Shalash in Ramallah, occupied Palestine and Mera Aladam in Kuala LumpurArmed Israeli settlers launched a wave of attacks on Palestinian properties in several areas of the occupied West Bank overnight, torching homes, vehicles and olive trees.More than 20 vehicles were targeted in the central West Bank city of al-Bireh on Sunday night, in what has been described online as a “pogrom”, with most set ablaze and left smouldering wrecks. Video footage posted online showed Palestinians attempting to put out fires enveloping buildings and cars, and roads left charred the morning after.According to local news agency Wafa, the settlers opened fire at civil defence search-and-rescue workers attempting to extinguish the flames.Settlers later set fire to a parking lot and scrawled offensive graffiti on walls in the nearby town of Deir Dibwan, east of Ramallah, before fleeing. Continue readingThe Future Of Debankingby Tyler DurdenAmong many worrying trends is the problem of debanking. It is underreported. The victims do not like to talk about it, even among family and friends.It is rarely discussed at all in public forums. Only specialists write about it. But it is a threat to everyone in the most intensely effective way. The practice denies people access to the basics of life and yet there is no appeal, no process, no methods of challenge, and no remediation.We did not know until Melania Trump’s latest biography that she and her son Barron were victims of debanking, the practice of shutting down a person’s bank account based on an unsigned and unexplained decision in which the account holder is merely notified that all services are hereby denied.Good on her for admitting this. People rarely do.This apparently happened in 2021, after her husband had left the office of the presidency. There were concerted efforts at the time to wipe out the memory of his time in office.Continue readingThe U.S. Has Failed Its Children – In the Most Unconscionable WaysBy Pam Martens and Russ MartensYesterday, the National Association of Realtors released their annual Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers. It showed that by the time Americans have saved enough money for a downpayment to buy their first home in America, they will be close to middle age. The study recorded the median age of first-time home buyers as the oldest in the history of the study, at 38 years of age. (In the 1980s, first-time home buyers were in their 20s.) At the same time the age of first-time home buyers was hitting a record high, the percentage of first-time buyers was hitting a record low – just 24 percent of the market in the latest survey. That is the lowest percentage share of first-time home buyers since the National Association of Realtors began conducting the survey in 1981.Continue readingThe $200 Billion Industry shrinking our brainsby Joseph Everett (WIL)Back in 1979, researchers were shocked to see a notable decrease in the average IQ of children in Massachussets. Not only were these kids slower at learning, but something was affecting their brain to where they more distractible, hyperactive, impulsive and easily frustrated. In the 1920’s Thomas Midgley had just made a new product for the automotive industry that he projected would make billions of dollars. The product essentially was an additive to gas that made car engines work better, but most importantly, it was very cheap compared to other alternatives so it could turn a big profit. Unfortunately it was a poison that would accumulate in the air and affected people’s brains. Just a year after Thomas Midgley showed symptoms of acute poisoning from his own product, he would state in a press conference that it was actually perfectly safe. That product was tetraethyl lead which was used to make leaded gasoline. From the 1920’s, cars all over the country were pumping the poisonous lead into the air every day. This dramatic change in the air lead to a decline in the IQ of children. Luckily, our brains are now safe from this because leaded gasoline was phased out starting in 1973.Continue readingPolar bears are not in danger and, in fact, are doing very wellby JermPolar bears are neither endangered nor in danger.How often do we hear this nonsense?Constantly.They never stop their fearmongering.By ‘they’ I mean the climate change establishment: the UN, IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature), CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species), governments, media and academia.Okay, so why polar bears?In my opinion, a few reasons why polar bears are the poster animals for global warming include:They’re cute, cuddly and innocentThey’re far removed from our immediate realityWe can’t verify their situation ourselves, so we have to trust the experts.I’ll get to the point: polar bears are not in danger and are doing absolutely fine.Susan Crockford is a zoologist with more than 40 years of animal science behind her, particularly in the field of Arctic animals (like polar bears).Continue readingHow a Secluded 1984 Conference Forged Israel’s Unprecedented Influence Over US Mediaby Kit KlarenbergAs Israel’s October 1 invasion of Lebanon unfolds, the media’s complicity in shaping public perception raises urgent questions, particularly when viewed through the lens of a controversial 1984 conference where influential advertising and media figures gathered to refine Israel’s narrative strategies. This conference laid the groundwork for a sophisticated propaganda campaign—Hasbara—that sought to sanitize Israel’s actions and cast its military operations in a favorable light. Today, as Western journalists whitewash, distort, and conceal Israel’s the realities of Israel’s deadly campaign of violence, the enduring legacy of this meeting becomes alarmingly clear, revealing how narratives crafted decades ago continue to shape the coverage of a conflict that claims countless lives.Continue readingFifty two nations call for global arms embargo on Israelby News DeskThe Foreign Ministry of Turkiye sent the UN a letter signed by 52 nations and two organizations calling for a halt in military transfers to Israel, stating the Israeli army is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan called for the arms embargo on Israel while speaking at a news conference in Djibouti on 1 November.While attending the Turkiye–Africa collaboration meeting, Fidan announced that the group letter was sent to the UN and that it must be “repeated at every opportunity that selling arms to Israel means participating in its genocide.”Ahmet Yildiz, Turkiye’s permanent ambassador to the UN, stated that Israel’s actions have pushed the region to the brink of war.Last month, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged the UN to impose an arms embargo on Israel, saying it would be an “effective solution” to end the war on Gaza.Continue readingAmerica at the Crossroads: Is Civil War on the Horizon?by SeanThe United States finds itself standing on a precipice, with a growing divide that’s becoming impossible to ignore.

Yeah, right.With people this deranged, how are we not on a path to civil conflict?Beneath this escalating polarization because of these lies an even more unsettling trend: an insidious push toward totalitarianism that’s taking root in every aspect of American life. It’s seen in the lessons taught in classrooms, the restrictions placed on speech, and the control over information in digital spaces. Many citizens are watching, feeling the country slip away from its foundational principles, wondering if a clash is inevitable. Continue readingGold’s mystery rally is a forewarning of fiscal ruin and global dystopiaby Ambrose Evans-PritchardThe gold reserves of Italy and France have each risen in value by roughly $85bn (£65) over the last two years. Lucky them.The Italians never accepted the “end of history” ideology, the beguiling notion at the end of the Cold War that there were no longer serious enemies and that bullion had become superfluous, a barbarous relic in a globalist age of financial sophistication.This realism is rooted in hard experience. Italy entered the Second World War with depleted gold reserves, and quickly came to regret it. The country’s post-war gold was used as collateral for an emergency loan from the Bundesbank in the 1970s, and was later used to shoehorn the soft lira into union with the hard D-Mark.The Bank of France did sell 589 tonnes during the false calm of the early 2000s for a pittance, but kept the lion’s share.Continue reading’The doctor told me count to three – and he cut my leg’: The generation of Palestinian children with devastating amputations after a year of warby Alex CrawfordA generation of children and young adults in Gaza are coping with devastating amputations after a year of brutal war. It’s left a terrible legacy, with thousands – many of them babies – coping with missing limbs.Warning: This story contains images and descriptions readers may find distressingThose in Gaza like Jihad have absolutely heart-breaking war wounds. The three-year-old’s left leg has been amputated right up to the hip, his right leg cut below the knee. The doctors couldn’t save three of the fingers on his left hand.He cries constantly and he’s writhing around in pain when Sky’s Gaza crew sees him. His mother Mai tells our team that he’s completely changed since the bombing – going from an active, talkative toddler to a depressed little boy who can’t accept his crushing lack of mobility.Continue readingState vs. Statelessnessby Sotiris RexWhen I explain to people (those willing to listen) how a society can make laws without government, and how stateless societies punish criminals, a reasonable objection emerges: “So, what’s the difference between state and statelessness, when without government, there are still laws about everything, and I still have to pay to have my rights protected?”Indeed, both threat-based centralized government, as well as incentive-based, voluntary, decentralized self-governance, require regulations – and money to maintain those regulations. However, there are two fundamental differences between statism and statelessness.The state enforces its regulations through the threat of violent deprivation of inalienable rights. It also defends you against aggression through the implied threat of defensive violence (which is fair). But the state may protect you only when its inefficiencies inherent in its monopolistic disincentives and corruptibility don’t get in the way.Continue readingNo Matter Who Is President, We Must Focus on Exit and Buildby Derrick BrozeAs most people expected, the script put Trump back in power.I hope all those people who said they were supporting Trump because he was the “lesser evil” but would hold him accountable will do so when he inevitably breaks promises and appoints swamp creatures and advances the Technocratic State.To those who understand that the MAGA/MAHA movement is a co-opting of the real freedom movement – stay strong. We are in for another 4 years of people making excuses for every authoritarian, anti-liberty actions Trump takes. Some will eventually wake up and realize they made a mistake, but many will not.For any possible good that may come from Trump being in the White House, let’s acknowledge it but not go easy on him or his cronies when the inevitable happens as well.Remember, this is the guy who wants to deport and jail people who are critical of Israel, and people who burn the U.S. flag. This is the guy who is funded by Zionist Technocrats who support genocide. This is the man who is funded by a steering committee member of the Bilderberg Group. This is the guy who is promising the largest deportation operation ever which will inevitably empower police to use 4th amendment violating measures. This is the guy who brought us Operation Warp Speed run by Big Pharma and still refuses to admit his shots hurt people.Continue readingSteve Kirsch files a formal complaint in Santa Clara County alleging malfeasance by the public health departmentby Steve Kirsch’s newsletterToday, I filed a formal written complaint with the Board of Supervisors in Santa Clara County about the Public Health Department. Their own data shows the vaccines are making infections and fatalities worse, yet they continue to recommend them. When asked to explain the data, they say, “No comment.” This needs to be investigated and if the Supervisors don’t take action, I will take legal action against the Supervisors.There is evidence of malfeasance at the Santa Clara County Public Health Department (SCC PHD). I’ll be filing a formal written complaint later today asking for an investigation.My name is Steve Kirsch.  I am a long-time resident of the county.The SCC PHD data which is posted on their website and obtained through FOIA shows COVID vaccines are making things worse by increasing infections and the risk of death from COVID.Continue readingDeep Link Between Alcohol and Cancer Described in New Reportby Dr. Joseph MercolaThe American Association for Cancer Research’s 2024 report reveals a significant link between alcohol consumption and cancer risk, with 5.4% of U.S. cancer cases in 2019 attributed to alcohol — and this is likely an underestimateSix types of cancer are directly linked to excessive alcohol consumption: liver, breast, colorectal, esophageal, stomach, and head and neck cancersEven light drinking increases cancer risk. A U.K. Biobank study found that low levels of alcohol consumption raise cancer mortality risk, especially in vulnerable populationsAlcohol’s carcinogenic effects begin in the mouth, where bacteria convert it to acetaldehyde. It also disrupts hormones, gut health, mitochondrial function and sleep patterns, further increasing cancer riskAbstaining from alcohol is the best prevention. For those who drink, taking N-acetylcysteine (NAC) supplements before consuming alcohol may help reduce its harmful effectsContinue readingMapped: Median Home Sale Price by U.S. StateBy Kayla ZhuThis was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.In 2024, buying a home in the U.S. looks vastly different depending on where you are.Factors like local demand, land availability, economic conditions, and housing regulations all contribute to the median home prices in each state.This map visualizes the median home sale price for a single-family home in each U.S. state in 2024. The data is updated as of September 2024 and comes from ATTOM.As of August 2024, the median home sales price for a single-family home in the United States is about $385,000.Hawaii has the highest median house price in the U.S. at around $852,000, over double the national average, primarily due to its limited land availability, strict housing regulations, and high demand for housing in a desirable climate.Continue readingFlorida removed over 4,500 LGBT, sexually explicit books from schools last year: reportby Calvin FreiburgerTALLAHASSEE, Florida (LifeSiteNews) — A left-wing “free speech” group once again labeled Florida the top state in the nation for “book banning” in a report the mainstream media is highlighting in hopes that it will reflect badly on Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis but which actually illustrates the Sunshine State’s progress in removing age-inappropriate material from public schools.The Tallahassee Democrat reported that, according to PEN America, more than 4,500 total books (and 4,231 individual titles) were removed from Florida public schools in the 2023-24 school year, sharply up from 1,406 the year before. That accounts for almost half of the 10,000 total removals nationwide.Thirty-nine percent of the books included “LGBTQ” characters and 57 percent had “sex or sex-related content,” according to the report. (Forty-four percent “included characters of color,” it added, but does not back up the implication that race was a motivating factor for removal.)Continue readingAmericans Have Burned Through Their Pandemic Savingsby Felix RichterFor the past three years, as the United States – like many other nations – battled with elevated inflation, consumer spending has remained remarkably robust, keeping the U.S. economy from sliding into a recession. That has come at the expense of personal saving, which dropped sharply in 2022, when the personal saving rate, i.e. the share of their disposable income that people weren’t spending on consumption, taxes or interest payments, dropped to the lowest level since the financial crisis.During the pandemic, when generous stimulus checks met limited consumption possibilities, Americans had saved more money than ever before, with the personal saving rate peaking at 32 percent in April 2020 and remaining above the pre-pandemic trend until the end of 2021. That’s when inflation started to bite, and people started utilizing these excess savings to support their spending.Continue readingFacebook Censors Gone WildBy James BovardFacebook chief Mark Zuckerberg recently lamented how his company groveled to federal demands to censor any criticism of the Biden administration’s Covid policy. But is Facebook really launching a “Brave New World” era of free speech?Facebook notified me on Sunday morning that eight years ago, I posted a link to my Washington Times article warning of Dictatorial Democracy regardless of whether Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump won the 2016 election.The opening sentence set the tone: “The 2016 election campaign is mortifying millions of Americans in part because the presidency has become far more dangerous in recent times.” Facebook always gives users the option to “share” a “Memory” link. I tapped the button to automatically send a notice on “Dictatorial Democracy” to all my Facebook friends and followers. No such luck: Facebook notified me that they had banned sharing the piece because it violated Facebook “Community Standards.”Continue readingCOVID Vaccines Pose 112,000% Greater Risk of Brain Clots, Strokes Than Flu Shotsby Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.COVID-19 vaccines pose a 112,000% greater risk of brain clots and strokes than flu vaccines and a 20,700% greater risk of those symptoms than all other vaccines combined, according to a peer-reviewed study that calls for a global moratorium on the vaccines.The study, published last week in the International Journal of Innovative Research in Medical Science, found reports of 5,137 cases of cerebral thromboembolism after COVID-19 shots over 36 months. This compares to 52 reported cases following flu vaccination and 282 cases for all vaccines over the past 34 years.According to the study, this represents an “alarming breach in the safety signal threshold concerning cerebral thrombosis adverse events” following COVID-19 vaccination.The study’s authors — independent researcher Claire Rogers, obstetrician and gynecologist Dr. James A. Thorp, independent researcher Kirstin Cosgrove and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough — used data from the U.S. government’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), for their analysis.Continue readingTexas Secessionists Declare ‘Revolution’ After Election ResultsBy James BickertonIndependence campaigners have hailed “a revolution in Texas politics” after 10 Republicans who have committed to supporting a referendum on secession from the United States were elected to the state legislature.According to the secessionist Texas Nationalist Movement, the 10 politicians, all of whom won seats in the Texas House of Representatives, were signatories to its “Texas First Pledge.” Signatories of the pledge have vowed to “vote for legislation and resolutions to call for a vote on Texas reasserting its status as an independent nation” and to “work toward a fair and expedient separation of Texas from the federal government” if this referendum is won.Texas nationalists wish to take the Lone Star State out of the union and create a fully independent country. Before joining the United States, the Republic of Texas existed as an independent nation from 1836 to 1846. A poll of 814 eligible Texan voters conducted earlier this year for Newsweek found that 33 percent supported secession, while 39 percent were opposed, with the remainder either neutral or unsure. However, in a hypothetical referendum, 67 percent said they would vote for Texas to remain a state within the United States.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsMises Institute Event in Fort Myers, Florida, on Saturday, November 9, 2024Texas 2024 Liberty International World Conference  – 15-18 November- The Art of Liberty Foundation will have a table manned by Elle Liberte who volunteered to help out and get it organized at the last minute!  Stop by and thank her for her service!The Peoples Reset – January 29th-Feb 6th 2025 – Morelia, Mexico- Etienne de la Boetie2 will be a speakerMemes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekGrant “Prezence” Ellman Rocks Liberty on the Rocks – Sedona – The Voluntaryism ConferenceClick Image or Watch On Odysee: https://odysee.com/@prezence:6/liberty-on-the-rocks-2024-full-live:5Grant “Prezence” Ellman is a multi-instrumentalist singer, song writer that puts the “Zen” in presence, rocks major music festivals and creates visually stunning music videos.
