THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: If you are given an opportunity to improve yourself, say: ‘YES’ immediately – don’t think about it or you will find reasons not to.

Joe Rogan Steamrolls CNN – Slams Brian Stelter And Don Lemon Over Misinformation

Via ZeroHedge

Joe Rogan pulled no punches in his latest podcast episode, where he savaged CNN and its top anchors for not reporting ‘honest’ news, and said that the network’s abysmal ratings are a reflection of a lack of trust – while more people “believe me or trust me or want to listen to me talk.”

Rogan, 54, reaches approximately 11 million listeners per episode – and there’s a reason why.

“The answer is not to silence me, the answer is [for] you to do better,” said Rogan. “The answer is for you to have better arguments. When you’re on television talking about how I’m taking horse paste, and you know that’s not true. “He’s taking horse dewormer.”

“What you should have said, “How did Joe Rogan get better so quick? How come he got COVID that’s killing everybody and he was better in five days, negative in five days, working out in six days?” How come that’s never discussed?”

CNN notoriously knocked Rogan for taking ‘horse dewormer’ because ivermectin was part of his Covid-19 treatment regimen. He subsequently annihilated CNN‘s Sanjay Gupta over the network’s lies.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY – President Bill Clinton acquitted on both articles of impeachment – 1999

Via History.com

Clinton–Lewinsky scandal - Wikipedia

On February 12, 1999, the five-week impeachment trial of Bill Clinton comes to an end, with the Senate voting to acquit the president on both articles of impeachment: perjury and obstruction of justice.

In November 1995, Clinton began an affair with Monica Lewinsky, a 21-year-old unpaid intern. Over the course of a year and a half, the president and Lewinsky had nearly a dozen sexual encounters in the White House. In April 1996, Lewinsky was transferred to the Pentagon. That summer, she first confided in Pentagon co-worker Linda Tripp about her sexual relationship with the president. In 1997, with the relationship over, Tripp began secretly to record conversations with Lewinsky, in which Lewinsky gave Tripp details about the affair.

The US Public Health Response has been a Colossal Failure

The US Deaths keep piling up…

Drip, drip, drip…

More evidence of our government’s completely failed response to this pandemic.

A Literature Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Lockdowns on COVID-19 Mortality

Abstract This systematic review and meta-analysis are designed to determine whether there is empirical evidence to support the belief that “lockdowns” reduce COVID-19 mortality. Lockdowns are defined as the imposition of at least one compulsory, non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI). NPIs are any government mandate that directly restrict peoples’ possibilities, such as policies that limit internal movement, close schools and businesses, and ban international travel. This study employed a systematic search and screening procedure in which 18,590 studies are identified that could potentially address the belief posed. After three levels of screening, 34 studies ultimately qualified. Of those 34 eligible studies, 24 qualified for inclusion in the meta-analysis. They were separated into three groups: lockdown stringency index studies, shelter-in-placeorder (SIPO) studies, and specific NPI studies. An analysis of each of these three groups support the conclusion that lockdowns have had little to no effect on COVID-19 mortality. More specifically, stringency index studies find that lockdowns in Europe and the United States only reduced COVID-19 mortality by 0.2% on average. SIPOs were also ineffective, only reducing COVID-19 mortality by 2.9% on average. Specific NPI studies also find no broad-based evidence of noticeable effects on COVID-19 mortality.

While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted. In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument

US National Debt Surpasses $30 Trillion

America’s debt surpassed the $30 trillion mark for the first time and there is no intention of paying it back. “We’re on an unsustainable path,” Federal Reserve Chairman Powell told lawmakers in January. “Debt is not at an unsustainable level, but the path is unsustainable — meaning it’s growing faster than the economy, meaningfully faster than the economy. We have to address that over time. We will address it over time. And the better way to do it is soon.”

According to the Treasury Department, outstanding debt jumped from $19.9 trillion when Trump took office in January 2017, and rose to $27.8 trillion when Biden took over in January 2021. Unexpected expenses due to the coronavirus added a massive amount of debt to the balance sheet. Still, politicians wish to continue spending to fund the Build Back Better agenda. “The debt puts an unbelievable burden on future generations of Americans. Congress cannot wait! We must take action now to get America’s fiscal house in order,” said Rep. Lloyd Smucker of Pennsylvania.

A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Systemic Collapse and Pandemic Simulation

A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Systemic Collapse and Pandemic Simulation

A year and a half after the arrival of Virus, some may have started wondering why the usually unscrupulous ruling elites decided to freeze the global profit-making machine in the face of a pathogen that targets almost exclusively the unproductive (over 80s). Why all the humanitarian zeal? Cui bono? Only those who are unfamiliar with the wondrous adventures of GloboCap can delude themselves into thinking that the system chose to shut down out of compassion. Let us be clear from the start: the big predators of oil, arms, and vaccines could not care less about humanity.

Follow the money

In pre-Covid times, the world economy was on the verge of another colossal meltdown. Here is a brief chronicle of how the pressure was building up:

June 2019: In its Annual Economic Report, the Swiss-based Bank of International Settlements (BIS), the ‘Central Bank of all central banks’, sets the international alarm bells ringing. The document highlights “overheating […] in the leveraged loan market”, where “credit standards have been deteriorating” and “collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) have surged – reminiscent of the steep rise in collateralized debt obligations [CDOs] that amplified the subprime crisis [in 2008].” Simply stated, the belly of the financial industry is once again full of junk.

Trudeau Dreams of Dictatorship

Via Armstrong Economics

In 2013 a reporter asked Justin Trudeau which country he most admired. “There is a level of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime,” Trudeau smiled and stated with seriousness. He went on to say how he admired (i.e., envied) how dictators could simply implement laws on a whim without the consent of the people, and added a nod to climate change policies as the left does not see that as a problem yet.

Oil Soars, Ruble Tumbles On Report “US Believes” Putin Will Launch “Horrific, Bloody ” Invasion Of Ukraine Next Week

When it comes to the geopolitical hot spot du jour, every day it Groundhog Dog, with a random daily leak out of the deep state through its preferred mouthpieces hinting that a Russian invasion on Ukraine is imminent even if there is zero evidence confirming this, and today was no different…

… only today the deep state has been especially persistent and moment ago PBS reported that according to three (deep state) officials, “the U.S. believes Putin has decided to invade Ukraine and communicated those plans to the Russian military,” with two admin officials saying they “expect the invasion to begin next week—echoing what Secretary of State Blinken has said.”

QOTD – WILL CANADA USE MILITARY FORCE ON PROTESTERS?

Tomorrow marks the two week anniversary of the Great Canadian Trucker Protest.

Hundreds of truck drivers and their supporters blocked the streets of downtown Ottawa on Thursday, part of a dayslong protest against public health measures.

Ambassador Bridge traffic: Detroit bridge to Canada reopened after blocked due to truck driver protest over COVID restrictions - ABC7 Chicago

The Blockade on the Ambassador Bridge connecting Canada to Michigan has become disruptive to  Michigan’s economy. Gretchen Whitmer is calling on Canada’s national and local governments to take immediate steps to open the bridge. The Biden admin is also urging Canada to use federal powers to stop the disruption at the boarder.

Will Canada be pressured by the U.S. to use military force on it’s protesters?

Should the U.S. even be getting involved?

If Canada brings in their military, what would be the result? Does it end well, or badly, for the Canadian Government?


 

Dishonesty is a Bad Business Plan

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

Dr. Fauci Is A Liar!

The whopping untruths launched onto the people of Western Civ by their governments reformatted the brains of millions so badly that they shuffled obediently into a mass formation and ran over a buffalo jump. What a stampede it has been!

But suddenly, the remaining buffaloes are balking at the cliff’s edge, seeing the bodies pile up below. Some of the bulls have even turned the other way and started charging back across the darkling prairie at the creatures driving the herd with their klaxons of deceit. All authority, from Vienna to Vancouver stands revealed as psychopathic — it apparently seeks to kill and injure as many as possible. Talk about the needle and the damage done! Why else persist with vaccines that don’t work and which provoke the most lethal disease mechanisms as side-effects?
