Global Feudalists Panic, as Nation Builders Advance
It has not been a good few weeks for the global elite. The recent World Economic Forum meeting in Davos was intended to consolidate their drive for total control, population reduction, and a feudal world order. Instead, participants exuded pessimism and panic. Meanwhile U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen fessed up that she was clueless about inflation. Increasingly, the globalists agenda of hyperinflation, supply shortages, cultural insanity, election fraud, and backing neo-Nazis in Ukraine stands exposed. Their system of war, money, and satanic cults is failing. read more

Albany passes ‘right to repair’ law for electronics to confront ‘monopoly’ on repair market

The “right to repair” legislation, which still needs to be signed into law by the governor, is believed to be the first of its kind in the United States. It follows a year-long campaign by tech and environmental activists, who accused manufacturers of intentionally restricting the ability to repair ... read more

The Fed’s Façade is Crumbling
There was a time in the U.S. when public *mea culpas* were accompanied by resignations, firings, and a change in policy. But the baby-boomers have changed that. Never before in history have so many policy-makers done such harm, failed to admit the damage they’ve caused, and insisted their failures be rewarded with praise, sympathy, and more power to continue doing the same. The architects of the failed forever wars of the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama years are typical of this, as these same failed characters are now egging on a new, even more perilous war, in Ukraine. read more
Why Isn't Labour 20 Points Ahead? (Again)
Following Monday night's no confidence vote on Boris Johnson, a layer of MPs breathed a sigh of relief. *On the opposition benches*.

Is Europe also overheating?
[I wrote this last weekend, but Jason Furman beat me to it.] It’s not just the US that has high inflation; consumer price inflation in Europe is running far above the ECB’s 2% target. Does this mean the Eurozone economy is also overheating?

Product Review: A Line of Delicious, Mold-Free Organic Coffees From Purity Coffee
Coffee is something of a controversial subject among the holistic health community, with many people strongly in favor of the caffeinated drink and others vehemently opposed to it. I personally began drinking more coffee after learning of The Bulletproof Diet, a popular book and nutrition plan started by a former Silicon Valley executive named Dave Asprey, who popularized the term “biohacker” among other buzzwords. According to Asprey, mold is one of the greatest health scourges known to man in the 21st century. Asprey said he suffered from mold-related health issues for years and b... read more

Slavery today
"According to modern anti-slavery group 50 for Freedom, there are more people in slavery today than at any other time in history.

The people in charge of the country are now openly admitting that the select committee hearings on the attempted January 6th coup will be more of a glitzy political ad dressed up as a nail-biting Netflix series than it will be a slow, plodding search for truth and justice. But it will most assuredly have the "American way" written all over it.
