A Lebanese expatriate living in London is taking his native country’s Blom Bank to court in the UK over the bank’s failure to return his $1.4 million savings, the National reported. The unprecedented move comes after the English High Court ruled on Tuesday that, as a UK domicile, Bilal Khalifeh could bring a case against Blom Bank from London. Blom Bank, which has offices in the UK, France and Cyprus, as well as across the Middle East, reportedly fought to have the case heard in Lebanon. The ruling, Khalifeh said in a statement to press outside the court on Tuesday, “is a victory […]

Authored by Irina Slav via OilPrice.com, A $500-billion smart city. A $200-billion solar farm. Billions of dollars in investments in gas and petrochemicals. These were all facets of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 – perhaps the most ambitious economic diversification in the world. Now, that ambition is in tatters. Can Saudi Arabia pick up the pieces and truly diversify its economy away from oil, or are its plans dead in the water, leaving the Kingdom’s survival forever tied to oil revenues? Earlier this week, Saudi Arabia’s Aramco said it would shelve an investment of several billion dollars in Sempra Energy’s Port Arthur LNG terminal. It […]

(Natural News) While everybody worries about Covid and the BLM metro-city riots across America, suburban neighborhoods are getting covertly blanketed with 5G small cell towers that are disguised as draping palm trees and giant cactuses. Nobody seems to realize what’s happening, and the few who do are getting banned and blacklisted from Facebook and YouTube for posting anything about it.

Authored by Daisy Luther via The Organic Prepper blog, Back in January, when the COVID-19 pandemic was beginning to catch globe attention, Selco wrote an article stating, “It’s not the virus you need to worry about.

Joe Biden sat for an interview with Jake Tapper from CNN on Wednesday. It was as disastrous as you would expect… And Jake Tapper is a FRIENDLY reporter. During the interview Joe Biden attempted to attack Trump on the deal, started rambling about something nonsensical and then finally agreed the USMCA was a better deal for American workers. It is still shocking that Democrats are running a man with late stage dementia as their presidential candidate.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon’s artificial intelligence hub is working on tools to help in joint, all-domain operations as department leaders seek to use data to gain an advantage on the battlefield. This year, the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center kicked off its joint war-fighting initiative, under which it is developing algorithms to provide armed services and combatant commands with AI tools to accelerate decision-making. Nand Mulchandani, acting director of the JAIC, said the center, for example, is “heavily” involved in the Air Force’s Advanced Battle Management System, the service’s primary lever to enable the Joint All-Domain Command and Control concept.

Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog, While the Federal Reserve and the Billionaire Class push the stock market to new highs to promote a false facade of prosperity, everyday life will fall apart. How will the status quo collapse? An open conflict–a civil war, an insurrection, a coup–appeals to our affection for drama, but the more likely reality is a decidedly undramatic dissolution in which all the elements of our way of life we reckoned were solid and permanent simply melt into air, to borrow Marx’s trenchant phrase. In other words, Rome won’t be sacked by Barbarians, or ignite in an insurrectionary conflagration–everything […]

Conservatives are slamming mainstream media outlets after their almost identical coverage of the Senate Democrats’ decision to vote against a coronavirus relief bill appeared to blame Republicans for the “failure.” After months of negotiations, a coronavirus stimulus package, which included funding for schools and Covid-19 testing, unemployment benefits, and the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), was voted down by every Democrat in the Senate on Thursday. The only Republican to join them was Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky). Needing 60 votes to pass, the bill earned a 52-47 outcome and it’s now unlikely a coronavirus stimulus package will pass before November’s presidential election. […]

On the call, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) raised the idea of passing another coronavirus relief bill in the House, something several Democrats have privately pushed in recent weeks; they’ve argued it’s better than heading into the final weeks before the election without doing anything further.

Since people first started making bourbon, arguably the easiest part of the whole production process has been selecting the type of barrel used for aging the whiskey. As decreed by the United States Congress in 1954, bourbon must be aged in a new, charred American oak container. Most distillers opt for the standard 53-gallon American white oak barrel, add their spirit to it and, after a few years, bottle the whiskey. However, as Jefferson’s Bourbon founder Trey Zoeller discovered not long after launching the brand with his father in 1997, sticking only to this traditional aging method doesn’t allow for much […]

Instead, Trump is now focusing his efforts on developing Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines […]

Diana Rigg first beguiled baby boomers in the ’60s as Emma Peel on The Avengers. Half a century later she was charming millennials as “Princess Olenna Tyrell” on Game of Thrones. Rigg, who died of cancer September 10 at the age of 82, had not only the ability to transcend generations but genres as well, moving effortlessly from the stage to film and then to television, making those transitions all her life. Respected on the stage, famous on screens large and small, but never troubled by the constraints of celebrity—her private life remained pretty much just that, and she never suffered […]
YouTube Portland, Ore., Mayor Ted Wheeler is telling the city’s police force to “end the use of CS gas for crowd control,” in a policy change that he says is effective immediately. The chlorine-containing compound is one of the most common forms of tear gas. “During the last 100 days, Portland, Multnomah County and state police have all relied on CS gas where there’s a threat to life safety,” Wheeler said. “We need something different and we need it now.” The shift comes after months of scrutiny and criticism over authorities’ use of tear gas and other crowd-dispersal measures during months […]

Via 21stCenturyWire.com, A new study authored by the Germany-based IZA Institute of Labor Economics says the most recent Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, held every summer in South Dakota, was a “superspreading” event. The non-peer reviewed study was quickly debunked by Governor Kristi Noem and the state’s top health officials. The study wildly claims the Sturgis event is linked to over 250,000 coronavirus cases across the U.S. and is responsible for an estimated $12.2 billion in public health costs. In a press release on Tuesday, Gov. Noem issued a harsh rebuke of the study and media reporting: “This report isn’t science; it’s fiction. Under the guise of academic […]

The EU has no jurisdiction over maritime boundaries and should remain unbiased in Turkey’s dispute with Greece in the Mediterranean, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has warned the European Parliament. Ankara and Athens have competing claims to continental shelves in the east Mediterranean, believed to be rich in energy resources. Turkey says its shelf should be measured from the mainland, while Greece determines its claim based on the location of its many islands, some of which are situated close to Turkish shores. The disagreement has seen the two neighbors and NATO members mobilizing their warships and planes, with Greece calling on […]
(Natural News) It has finally been revealed that the participant in AstraZeneca’s Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine trial who suffered a “serious adverse event,” causing a global shutdown of the company’s entire phase-three trial, developed a spinal inflammatory disorder known as transverse myelitis. Company CEO Pascal Soriot told JP Morgan and other investors over a conference call that the woman from the United Kingdom developed neurological symptoms consistent with this “rare” disease almost immediately following injection, though AstraZeneca insists that the experimental vaccine is not to blame. The woman is said to be “improving,” and will likely be released from the hospital […]

Last week, in an interview with the New York Post, Noor bin Laden, the 33-year-old niece of deceased al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, endorsed President Trump and warned that another 9/11-style terrorist attack was possible if former Vice President Joe Biden won the presidency. Noor bin Laden, the self-described “American at heart” who raised eyebrows last week by making an impassioned endorsement of Donald Trump, has published “My Letter to America,” a new appeal in which she has lists ways she believes Trump has “made the world a much safer place.” The letter, posted on Noor’s website, makes no mention of […]

On Wednesday, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has unveiled a new whistleblower – former DHS intelligence official Brian Murphy, who claims that Trump administration officials at the White House and Department of Homeland Security suppressed intelligence reports that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election, and ‘altered intelligence’ related to comments made by President Trump. “We’ve received a whistleblower complaint alleging DHS suppressed intel reports on Russian election interference, altered intel to match false Trump claims and made false statements to Congress,” Schiff tweeted, adding “We will investigate.” We’ve received a whistleblower complaint alleging DHS suppressed intel reports on Russian election interference, […]

If you are a Republican, legendary journalist Bob Woodward—and the media as a whole—is the “enemy,” Meghan McCain declared on Thursday. As The View’s lone Republican panelist, McCain weighed in on President Donald Trump’s bombshell admission to Woodward that he intentionally downplayed the coronavirus threat even though he knew in early February that the virus was airborne, highly contagious, and deadlier than “strenuous flus.” Her main takeaway? It was a major mistake for the president to speak to Woodward on-record. “I will say right now a new CBS poll came out saying that 60 percent of the American public distrusts President […]

The U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) has added three Russian nationals and a host of cryptocurrency addresses to its sanctions list on allegations of election interference. OFAC alleges the three individuals, Artem Lifshits, Anton Andreyev and Darya Aslanova, are employees of the Internet Research Agency (IRA), a Russian company and “troll farm” that tries to influence events. The IRA attempted to influence the 2018 midterm elections in the U.S., and OFAC alleged Thursday this work has continued. “The IRA uses cryptocurrency to fund activities in furtherance of [its] ongoing malign influence operations around the world,” a press […]
The internal polling must be bad because Biden left his Delaware basement bunker on Wednesday and traveled to the battleground state of Michigan. 77-year-old Joe Biden spoke gibberish and slurred his words in his Michigan speech on Wednesday. Biden voted for NAFTA, the America job-killing trade agreement signed by Bill Clinton, yet he had the gall to show up to Michigan and push his new “Buy American” policy.

The Netflix release Cuties is dull and morally indefensible, an appalling act of sexual exploitation of young girls. Actually, as you’ll read below, it’s even worse than that. You can’t judge a movie by its content. It’s not about content. It’s about what the movie has to say about the content. The Bible’s a good example. I’m no scholar but I’ve always assumed Herod’s stepdaughter, Salome, was underage. Maybe not 11. Closer to 14. I’m not alone. So it’s right there in the Bible. In the New Testament, no less.

If one were to come up with a word cloud for the year 2020, among the largest words, such as “awful” and “disaster” one would most assuredly find the word “lonely.” Thanks to the convenient excuse of covid, numerous state governments instituted a regime of veritable house arrest for their citizens. Streets were deserted, stores empty, churches closed by government decree. Restaurants and bars usually filled to the brim with happy chatting people were instead filled with an eerie silence, punctuated, perhaps, only by the muffled cries of proprietors lamenting their imminent bankruptcy. While in most places the “social distancing” has lessened […]

U.S. producer prices rose more than expected in August, buoyed by a bounce in the prices businesses received for services. The higher than expected figures indicate solid demand in August and point toward a recovery for the services sector after the pandemic’s staggering blows.

Authored by Mac Slavo via SHTFplan.com, Americans may finally be waking up, even minimally. A majority of those living in the United States believe that the government is corrupt and unaccountable. This brings to mind a quote: “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” -John Dahlberg Acton That means that anytime you hand power to anyone, their morality will decrease as the desire to control others increases. No one cedes power willingly either. If we have learned anything from 2020 it’s that those in power or authority figures are not in it for us, but themselves. Seventy-three percent of Americans say […]

Should we take the Nobel Peace Prize seriously? This year’s nominations include two polar opposites: Cuba’s Henry Reeves Brigade, whose medical interventions in the coronavirus context have placed the country’s internationalism on the world stage; and US President Donald Trump, nominated by a far-right Norwegian politician for his role in the UAE-Israeli normalisation deal. It is the second time that Trump has been nominated by the same politician. This time, says Christian Tybring-Gjedde, because he “has done more trying to create peace between nations that most other peace prize nominees.” That depends on how peace is defined, however. The normalisation agreement […]
