This is written for all those Americans who still think that politics is a dirty word, and that it is something for somebody else to fix. Whatever the reasons that politics turns you off disgust, disinterest, religion, even just busy lives Im not listening, because none is valid. Politics is what runs AND RUINS our lives, like it or not. Get a hold of yourself and your neighbors and turn on the upstairs lights, while we still have the ability to do so, literally and figuratively. Click for Full Text!

Negotiators in Brussels worked well into the night on Tuesday in order to codify a new carbon-dioxide emissions tariff on imported goods that climate alarmists contend are heating the planet. Among the goods set to be targeted for the new carbon tax are iron, steel, cement, fertilizers, aluminum and electricity. Dubbed the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the new taxation mechanism was hailed as the first of its kind by the European Parliament. The EU is seeking to make the polluter pay for emissions they create when making their products for European consumption. Click for Full Text!

Every day doctors kill about 40 Canadians. The government euphemism for this is Medical Assistance in Dying. Under Canadas euthanasia legislation MAiD is open to anyone who is experiencing unbearable physical or mental suffering from your illness, disease, disability or state of decline that cannot be relieved under conditions that you consider acceptable. A Vancouver woman named Jennyfer Hatch died on October 23 at the hands of a MAiD doctor. She was suffering from a rare disease, EhlersDanlos syndrome, which gave her constant pain. There is no cure for EDS; the best doctors can do is manage the symptoms and check for complications. Click for Full Text!

Necessary Illusions – Even the Narrative of the EU as a Geo-Strategic Player Has Now Burst Post Date: 2022-12-11 23:23:27 by Charles_Byrd

Europe is destined to become an economic backwater. It has lost Russia and soon China. And is finding it has lost its standing in the world, too, Alastair Crooke writes. Something odd is afoot in Europe. Britain recently has been regime washed, with a strongly pro-EU Finance Minister (Hunt) paving the passage to an election-free premiership by globalist Rishi Sunak. Why so? Well, to impose swingeing cuts to public services, to normalise immigration running at 500,000 per annum and to raise taxes to the highest levels since the 1940s. And to open channels about a new relationship deal with Brussels. Click for Full Text!

As Atlanticists continue their commitment to a future shaped by energy scarcity, food scarcity, and war with their nuclear-capable neighbors, most states in the Persian Gulf that have long been trusted allies of the west have quickly come to realize that their interests are best assured by cooperating with Eurasian states like China and Russia who dont think in those zero-sum terms. With Chinese President Xi Jinpings long-awaited three-day visit to Saudi Arabia, a powerful shift by the Persian Gulfs most strategic Arab state toward the multipolar alliance is being consolidated.

Towards a Global Food Disaster, Engineered Through Acts of Political Sabotage Post Date: 2022-12-11 22:13:18 by Charles_Byrd

Its beginning to look like some bad actors are deliberately taking steps to guarantee a coming global food crisis. Every measure that the Biden Administration strategists have been making to control energy inflation is damaging the supply or inflating the price of natural gas, oil and coal to the global economy. This is having a huge impact on fertilizer prices and food production. That began well before Ukraine. Now reports are circulating that Bidens people have intervened to block the freight rail shipping of fertilizer at the most critical time for spring planting. By this autumn the effects will be explosive. With the crucial time for USA spring planting at its ...

The opening line of the complaint alleges that "TikTok Inc. is a Chinese Trojan Horse unleashed on unsuspecting American consumers who have been misled by the company's false representations about the content on its platform." But despite the seriousness of the accusations, there is little evidence to back up the state's claims. Click for Full Text!
