Biggest Bailout of Wall Street in U.S. History was Planned Months before the Plandemic Virus Crisis – “Big” Pharma now HUGE Pharma
We have been reporting here at Health Impact News that the worldwide reaction to the Coronavirus has been a very well-planned event that has allowed life as we knew it to change almost overnight, as the New World Order plan is no longer a conspiracy, but something that has been published now for everyone to see. The transfer of wealth from the middle class and small businesses to Wall Street has also been very swift, as three stimulus packages have already been implemented, with the vast majority of new money being produced by the Federal Reserve and the Central Bankers primarily b... more »

Privileged White Thugs in CHAZ Beat Christian Preacher; Durkan Calls It a “Summer of Love”
Christian missionaries go where the Holy Spirit directs them, be it an Islamist state, a communist nation, or a self-declared “zone” within the USA’s borders.

Such was the case June 13th in Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, where dissent from the proclaimed official authoritarian script will not be tolerated.

Reparations? For what? Making Blacks better off?
Slavery was a horrible thing and Republicans fought a war against Democrats to end it. Fortunately for Blacks the Republicans won. But now some radical Blacks are saying that we should pay Blacks reparations for something that was ended 155 years ago. Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, has made a great point.

Biden projects Democrat behaviors on Trump: But for Joe it's just another lie
Back in 2016 Trump was asked if he'd accept the results of the election if he lost. He said he would unless there was evidence of massive voter fraud. That's a perfectly reasonable thing to say and since Democrats keep telling us there is no election fraud it's hardly anything that should have bothered them. But they went ballistic.

Is Trump The Strom Thurmond Of 2020?
If you remember Strom Thurmond at all, you probably recall him as a senile, diaper-wearing far right Republican Senate pal of Joe Biden's, who died in 2003 (age 100)-- but that Republican part wasn't part of the equation until 1966. He was prominent politically decades earlier-- even as a presidential candidate. Earlier still, he was elected governor of South Carolina in 1946 as a Democrat (and with no opponent).

Saying No to the ‘New Normal’
Sometimes a video can communicate important political ideas very well and quickly. That is the case with the two-minute video “No New Normal” at the Essential People YouTube page. Starting off, it seems as if the video, like many others, is promoting that people make all sorts of sacrifices, changing their lives drastically and painfully, to counter coronavirus. Then, the video takes a quick turn, harshly criticizing the coronavirus crackdown and the “new normal” of dystopian restrictions on human actions that people in government and media often assert must persist.

No yearning for an afterlife, no looking beyond, no belittling of death, but only longing for what belongs to us and serving earth, lest we remain unused." - Rainer Maria Rilke

"The Whole Root Of Our Trouble..."
"Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, the only fact we have. It seems to me that one ought to rejoice in the fact of death - ought to decide, indeed, to earn one's death by confronting with passion the conundrum of life." - James Baldwin, “The Fire Next Time”

4 Horsemen chomping at the bit
PRAGER: The Four Horsemen Of America’s Apocalypse Daily Wire Dennis Prager June 13, 2020 It takes a lot to build a civilization, and though it is much easier to destroy a civilization, it takes a lot to do that, too. But now we have four roots of evil that are guaranteed to do so. No. 1: Victimhood. The first is victimhood. The more people who regard themselves as victims — as individuals or as a group — the more likely they are to commit evil. People who think of themselves as victims feel that, having been victimized, they are no longer … Continue reading →

The U.S. War In Afghanistan Is Over
*John Richard Cookson, National Interest:* *The U.S. War In Afghanistan Is Over* How did the US war in Afghanistan end? To judge by recent commentary and reporting, the Trump administration has ginned up the idea of a rapid drawdown before November as an election-year ploy, a sudden decision driven more by domestic politics than by the situation in Afghanistan. Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, the U.S. war in Afghanistan has been ending for years, has more or less ended now, and has done so for good reason. The removal of the last tranche of U.S. soldiers is ne... more »

Make No Mistake ~ BLM Is a Radical Neo-Marxist Political Movement
Alexandra Phillips June 12, 2020 SOURCE ED Noor: BLM and Antifa are Marxist sisters beneath the Soros financial blanket. This helps explain how the two groups mobilized so swiftly after the pre-arranged killing of George Floyd. (If he was actually killed.) The rapid spread of protests across the West under the Black Lives Matter banner has left a political breathlessness from Baltimore to Berlin. Those in positions of authority are scrambling to show they are addressing endemic racism, and in the commercial sphere, not ending up on the wrong side of the debate and risking Twit... more »
Is the Age Of Rapid U.S. Economic Growth Over?
*James Pethokoukis* *Economics, Americas* The US stock market, with a strong rebound from its pandemic lows, might seem unhinged from current economic and political reality. The US stock market, with a strong rebound from its pandemic lows, might seem unhinged from current economic and political reality. But that’s really missing the point. The stock market is supposed to be a forward-looking entity. Think of the difference between GDP and a stock’s market capitalization. You frequently see Big Tech market caps compared to national GDP numbers as a way of demonstrating their stag... more »

*Ben Shapiro* *Politics, Americas* [image: New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (9) fumbles the ball as he is hit by Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter (99) during the fourth quarter of a NFC Wild Card playoff football game at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans, Louisiana,] If you defend America’s history, philosophy, and culture–or, God forbid, her flag–you must apologize.

State Department Wages Political Warfare—Against Trump
*Christian Whiton* *Politics, Asia* Trump should fire his South Korean Ambassador Harry Harris. Flying the banner in reality has little to do with race or equality, and everything to do with opposition to Trump. America’s giant embassy in Seoul isn’t issuing routine passports or conducting other services that Americans abroad may need, but it is promoting a leftwing political message at taxpayer expense. Like most federal government employees, the bureaucrats who populate the embassy are largely being paid not to work. If you urgently need a birth certificate or replacement pass... more »
