"If It Gets Bad, I'll Go to Idaho"
*"If It Gets Bad, I'll Go to Idaho"* by Jeff Thomas "In the 1930’s, the farm population in the US was nearly 25% of the total and it was quite common for farmers to borrow from the bank (using their farms as collateral) in the expectation that the proceeds from their annual crop would pay off the note each year. But, in 1929, there was a crash in the stock market, lowering the sales price of crops significantly. That, and coincidental droughts throughout the farm belt, resulted in a large percentage of the thirty million farmers failing to meet their payments. They lost their farms... read more

ACLU Turns its Back on Blacks, Latinos, Stands up for White Corporate America and Big Pharma with Mandatory COVID Shots as a “Civil Liberty”
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) made a mockery of the term "civil liberty" last week when they published a piece in the New York Times where they announced: "Far from compromising them, vaccine mandates actually further civil liberties. They protect the most vulnerable, people with disabilities and fragile immune systems, children too young to be vaccinated, and communities of color hit hard by the disease." What the ACLU is effectively doing here, is coming out against those who refuse mandatory COVID vaccines in New York. And who is that? Only 13.8% of Blacks in New Y... read more
