Bank failures lead to digital currency

 

Amy Mek at RAIR Foundation gives us all fair warning:

Unless people start making a lot of noise and applying a lot of pressure, we will move to digital currency, warns Tucker Carlson.

Big banks are eating up small banks. During his program this week, Tucker Carlson said that means less competition and more government control.

What will the government do with that control? Carlson says that unless people start making a lot of noise and applying a lot of pressure, we will move to digital currency.

Government’s Increased Control

The four largest banks – Wells Fargo, Bank of America, JP Morgan, and Chase – are doing well. Meanwhile, the White House appears to be provoking bank runs at regional banks. The government also seems to be trying to erode confidence in those banks.

Carlson stressed that the Biden administration is using this crisis to increase its control. . . .

James O’Keefe is back in business

 

Nicole Silverio at The Daily Caller has good news:

Former Project Veritas CEO James O’Keefe announced Wednesday that he is launching the O’Keefe Media Group after his ousting from his previous company.

O’Keefe vowed to “build an army of investigators” to expose corruption in a video promoting his upcoming new company. The platform is set to launch July 4, 2023.

“We are going to build an army of investigators and exposers,” he said in a video. “They have awakened the sleeping giant. I’m back. Remaining by my side are a small, tight knit group of the most elite journalists in the world. Exposing corruption requires standing up to power because power hates sunlight and we are sunlight.”

“Welcome to the O’Keefe Media Group, where we will never be shut down,” he continued. “Because not only do I own it, but you own it too.” . . .

Bank failures: where does the buck stop?

At his Substack, Don Surber has some answers:

The blame game over SVB’s [Silicon Valley Bank’s] collapse is a diversion. The media have rounded up the usual suspects: Trump, greed, bad law, blah, blah, blah. When Captain Renault did that in Casablanca, he knew who the real culprits were. The media is not that bright.

James Hickman is. He is the founder of Sovereign Research. He looked at the numbers and he found the culprit.

Biden. He made government bonds worth less which has banks dropping like cockroaches in a Raid commercial.

. . .

SVB lost money on government bonds by the billion and that brought the bank down.

. . .

Bailing out SVB is not the end, rather it is the beginning.

The New York Times had to admit, “Investors Fear Bank Contagion, Despite a Sweeping Rescue Plan. Shares in regional lenders were under pressure, even after regulators unveiled a vast backstop for U.S. banks after Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse.”

There goes NYT saying despite again when it means “because of.” The panic at the Fed to create a new program to bail out banks — er, make billionaire depositors whole — was all we needed to know that once again, Biden led us to another economic catastrophe.

The wrecking balls keep coming at us.  Read all about it at Mr Surber’s Substack blog here.

The progressive left: what they want and why

 

A blogger at Substack publishing as “eugyppius” analyzes the priorities and motivations of Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, the progressive political left, and in general, globalist elites. It’s a long essay, but very illuminating.  He explores the widely held perception that Mr. Gates is promoting depopulation, but he digs a bit deeper into the reasons.  The blogger builds methodically to his conclusion:

. . . A globalist cabal plotting the depopulation of the world would be a grave problem, but one with a clear enough solution. We’re facing, instead, an entire moral and ideological system, with very deep roots in prosperous Western culture. This isn’t a universe where everybody wakes up tomorrow, elects to put Bill Gates on trial for his crimes against humanity, and returns thereafter to sensible public health policy. It’s a world where millions of people share the ideological anxieties of eccentric children like Greta Thunberg, manifest escalating indifference to adverse policy outcomes in their own countries, and dream of a future earth devoid of humans like themselves. Because the driving forces operate at the level of moral instinct and emotion, no amount of evidence or appeals to reason that can stop this. Probably the best hope lies in its naivete and idealism. Worsening conditions will ultimately deprive these ideologies of their cultural appeal; how bad things have to get before this happens, is the terrifying question.

The complete essay is here.

The January 6 “insurrection”: it’s worse than we thought

 

We knew Mike Pence was a villain in the piece.  But it turns out that the J6 “insurrection” was far more insidious.  A Conservative Treehouse reader known as Regitiger has a guest post published (and introduced) by Sundance. It is the deepest dive I’ve seen on the January 6 “insurrection”, the certification of the election results, the failure to investigate election fraud, the suspension of due process and intimidation of peaceful protesters, and the roles played by Pence, Pelosi, McConnell, et al.  I am linking to this important analysis with a caveat:  it is extremely disturbing, as it exposes even more corruption than most of us suspected.  Not for the faint of heart.  To read, click here.

Danger: Fake foods and control

 

Dr Joseph Mercola at America First Report explains why we should all be wary of fake meat, impossible burgers, and the like.  And such fake foods are already on many restaurant menus. 

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

• I spoke with “Tea Time,” a program by Children’s Health Defense, about the dangers of fake meat products to help raise awareness about this latest assault on human health
• Fake food — including lab-grown meat, animal-free dairy and plant-based meat — is the globalists’ latest attempt to control the food supply
• The globalists are trying to replace animal husbandry with lab-grown meat, which will allow private companies to effectively control the human population
• The idea that animals must be removed from agriculture to save the planet is flawed; animals are an integral, and necessary, part of the restorative process
• Fake meat is an ultra-processed mixture of chemicals, GE ingredients, pesticides and toxic linoleic acid that will promote chronic disease

At face value, fake meat sounds like the perfect solution to end world hunger, protect animal welfare and save the planet from environmental destruction. Even a brief look below the surface reveals a much more nefarious reality, however.

. . .

Fake Meat Is All About Controlling the Food Supply

Fake food — including lab-grown meat, animal-free dairy and plant-based meat — is the globalists’ latest attempt to control the food supply. Former U.S. Secretary of State and national security adviser Henry Kissinger once said, “Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control people.” Controlling people is their whole agenda. . . .
