TALES!

“ON JUNE 8, 1967, while patrolling in international waters in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, USS Liberty (AGTR-5) was savagely attacked without warning or justification by air and naval forces of the state of Israel. Of a crew of 294 officers and men (including three civilians), the ship suffered thirty four (34) killed in action and one hundred seventy three (173) wounded in action. The ship itself, a Forty Million ($40,000,000) Dollar state of the art signals intelligence (SIGINT) platform, was so badly damaged that it never sailed on an operational mission again and was sold in 1970 for $101,666.66 as scrap.”

High Treason on the High Seas: The Betrayal of the USS Liberty

“I want that G-ddamn ship going to the bottom.

No help. Recall the wings.”

— President Lyndon Baines Johnson, Freemason

The Star of David flags flying above these boats was quite a surprise and at first, I (again, mistakenly) assumed for a moment that they were there to come to our rescue. The delusion lasted only a minute, because I then saw the splash of several torpedoes that they dropped into the water as they headed toward us…

But as angry as I was at the time, it was nothing compared to the anger I felt later, when I learned the terrible truth that we were betrayed not only by Israel, but by the highest levels of our own government.

During JFK’s brief stint as President, he had his brother, Robert, who was Attorney General, enforce the 1938 FARA — Foreign Agents Registration Act — especially against all of the zionsit PACs that were truly influencing elections and government actions in our Nation.

One of LBJ’s first acts as POTUS after the JFK assassination was to relieve RFK of this duty … and no one has ever been able to revive it. And, of course, israeli government officials have told US for decades that they own and control our Congress … and not one thing is ever done about it.

Someone needs to inform voters — starting immediately — about their existing Senator or Representative and his/her ties to these PACs … and show how they’re influenced by the mandatory trips to israel every year … the lavish benefits bestowed upon those folks … etc.

Enormous Mobs Are Literally Taking Over The Streets Of Major U.S. Cities On A Nightly Basis

Every night, huge groups of young people are literally taking over streets in large cities all over America. In many cases, major intersections are completely blocked off for stunts and dangerous competitions involving vehicles. These events are called “street takeovers”, and they are often accompanied by theft, violence and other acts of crime. You have probably heard of “street takeovers” happening in big metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles, Seattle, New York and Chicago, but at this point they are even happening in many rural areas. In fact, I just came across an article about how street takeovers have become a major problem in the state of Maine.

Gunfire attack on Duke Energy equipment causes Durham County fire, power outage near Raleigh
The electrical equipment in the 3900 block of Carpenter Pond Road was hit by gunfire sometime in the last week, according to a news release from the FBI.

The gunfire to an electrical transformer caused a “slow oil leak and ultimately igniting a fire,” the FBI said.

Duke Energy said the power outage impacted about 730 customers for about two hours Monday afternoon. The impacted equipment is located in Durham County near Leesville Road just 1,000 feet from Wake County and the Raleigh city limits.

World faces ‘staggering’ oil glut by end of the decade, energy watchdog warns

IEA predicts 8mn b/d of excess capacity by 2030 as producers invest in pumping more
crude

The Paris-based body, founded in the aftermath of the 1970s Arab oil embargoes to advise on energy security, said last year that the world was at “the beginning of the end” of the fossil fuel era. It has said that demand for oil, natural gas and coal would all start to fall before the end of the decade amid the mass rollout of renewable energy and electric vehicles.

But its projections have been decried by the oil industry, particularly in the Middle East and the US, where producers are stepping up their investment in pumping more crude.

Global capital spending on oil and fields rose to $538bn in 2023, the highest level since 2019 in real terms. The increase in investment was largely driven by state oil companies in the Middle East, which upped their spending to twice the levels seen 10 years ago, and China.

Canada’s plans for American CIVIL WAR after the election

Canada has been making plans in case civil war breaks out in the US, as the nation’s polarization reaches an all-time-high ahead of the presidential election.

A think tank within Trudeau’s government called Policy Horizons Canada surveyed hundreds of experts and government officials about potential disruptive events and proposed to the Canadian government they should consider preparing for civil war in the US.

In a 37-page document covered by Politico, researchers included the possibility of ‘U.S. ideological divisions, democratic erosion, and domestic unrest escalate, plunging the country into civil war.’

Australian Senate Launches Major Inquiry into Soaring Deaths Among Vaxxed

The likelihood that there will be any admissions of wrongdoing by government bureaucrats and politicians is vanishingly small.

The nation has one of the highest rates of Covid mRNA vaccination in the world.

Over the past three years, however, the country has been battling the worst level of excess mortality since World War II.

The investigation by the Australian Senate is being touted as the first instance in the world of a Parliament formally examining the issue of soaring deaths…

The Senate’s Community Affairs References Committee is now required to investigate the factors contributing to the abnormally high mortality.

The report is expected by the end of August.

It will be a difficult task, however.

The likelihood that there will be any admissions of wrongdoing by government bureaucrats and politicians is vanishingly small.

Death In Dollars

What comes next is the slow decline in the demand for dollars and euros, which will make inflation a feature of Western economies. It will also mean the slow rise in borrowing rates in the West.

Without much fanfare and no coverage in Western media, one of the most important agreements of the 20th century was allowed to expire last week. That agreement is the deal made between the United States and Saudi Arabia in 1974 that established what has been known ever since as the petro-dollar. Saudi Arabia would price its oil exports exclusively in U.S. dollars and invest its surplus oil revenues in U.S. Treasury bonds while the U.S. provided military protection to the kingdom.

The importance of this deal cannot be overstated. The demand for dollars has kept the currency strong and thus kept imports cheap. It also allowed the Federal Reserve to “export excess dollars” to developing countries with a need for dollars. The institutional demand for treasuries as a result of this agreement allowed for the low interest rate environment we have seen for decades. This has made it possible for the United States to build up massive debts both publicly and privately…

Now, the expiry of this deal does not mean much at the present. Half a century of pricing everything important in dollars will not be unraveled quickly. Tens of trillions in assets are priced in dollars, so the dollar remains the default currency, but it does open the door to alternatives. The Saudis will now accept other currencies for their energy products, which means OPEC will follow their lead. China can now buy oil in yuan, rather than swap yuan for dollars.

In the short-term this will not change much of anything, but over time it will result in a decrease in the demand for dollars.

Death In Dollars

The Chinese Yuan has surged to become the most traded foreign currency on Russia’s Moscow Stock Exchange, following a complete abandonment of all US Dollar and Euro transactions.

George Soros infamously said in 2009:

“A decline in value of the dollar is necessary… China will be the engine driving it forward… a managed decline of the Dollar.”

That’s literally a generalization of modern Judaism.
