Instead, let’s manage globalization to raise wages, create jobs, and protect the environment. Everyone we know is “for” trade. We can’t remember ever meeting anyone who is “against” trade. This simplistic view of globalization — that everyone is either for or against trade — brought grief to millions of workers and families in America. Thomas Friedman wrote several popular books on globalization. He once said that he […]

Weeks before the March 2020 General Election in Israel, the main pillar of the right-wing campaign headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was propaganda based around "annexation" of more occupied Palestinian land. The annexation process would have started from the Jordan Valley to the Dead Sea, and then to the major settlements surrounding Jerusalem, including the Ma'ale Adumim settlement bloc and the western hills directly overlooking the coast and most of the land in the area, which is classified as Area C according to the Oslo Accords. After the election, statements about annexation slowed down against the backdrop of the government […]

Dr. Kelli Ward, chairwoman of the Arizona Republican Party, affirmed on Monday that the party filed a notice to appeal, bringing the GOP lawsuit on election integrity before the Supreme Court, and she delivered a pointed message to lawmakers who are sidestepping allegations of fraud and failing to call for a full legislative hearing, accusing them of “being cowards and not living up to their constitutional duties.” In a Monday update, the Arizona GOP chair took aim at both the establishment media and lawmakers, the former of which she accused of characterizing the GOP’s election challenges “in a way that is completely […]
WASHINGTON — Boeing, General Atomics and Kratos will create prototypes for the Air Force’s Skyborg program and have a mere five months to build the first test vehicles of the autonomous combat drone. As part of the Skyborg program, the Air Force hopes to build a family of low-cost, attritable drones that can be reused, but are cheap enough that losses in combat can be financially and operationally tolerated. The project is meant to produce a family of uncrewed aerial systems that can move into contested spaces and conduct aerial missions that might be too dangerous for human pilots to perform. […]

Authored by Ivan Pentchoukov via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), The legal team led by former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell will appeal the dismissal of the election lawsuit tossed by a federal judge on Monday. Powell told The Epoch Times in an email that they “will proceed as fast as possible to the Supreme Court.” U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Batten dismissed Powell’s lawsuit on Dec. 7, opining that the plaintiffs have no standing to sue, should have brought the lawsuit to a state court, and had filed the case too late. “There’s no question that Georgia has a statute that […]

No one seemed as excited about the election of Joe Biden being the next President of the United States as Palestinian Authority President, Mahmoud Abbas. When all hope seemed lost, where Abbas found himself desperate for political validation and funds, Biden arrived like a conquering knight on a white horse and swept the Palestinian leader away to safety. Abbas was one of the first world leaders to congratulate the Democratic President-elect on his victory. While Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, delayed his congratulatory statement in the hope that Donald Trump would eventually be able to reverse the results, Abbas suffered no […]

Something strange is going on at the New York Times, in that the paper all of a sudden seems keen on digging hard into the truth about the origins about Covid-19. In fact, as of last week, CNN appears to be doing the same. This weekend the Times published a lengthy piece that looked into how China is peddling different stories to try and cover up the origins of the Covid pandemic. These efforts come as the World Health Organization readies an investigation into how the virus jumped from animals to humans. In addition to reporting on China’s misinformation, the piece also seemed […]

WASHINGTON — A limited version of a new military GPS signal can now be made available to war fighters, after the U.S. Space Force declared a necessary upgrade to the ground system operational Nov 18. More accurate than the civilian signal, the encrypted M-Code provides advanced anti-spoofing and anti-jamming capabilities designed to provide positioning, navigation and timing data to the war fighter even when adversaries are trying to deny or degrade the signal. But even as the military has successfully added more and more GPS satellites with M-Code availability to the constellation — 23 and counting — the ground system being […]

Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog, Sorry Fed, it’s too late. The dominoes are already toppling, and every point of failure is being exploited by the catalyzing effects of Covid. America’s many points of failure—leverage points where a break brings down the entire system–are falling like dominoes, a process catalyzed by Covid. These systemic points of failure have been masked for the past 20 years by the widespread distribution of trillions of dollars, either printed or borrowed. There’s no point of failure that can’t be glued together or covered up a bit longer with fountains of cash. That’s the American way of solving problems: just throw more money […]

The removal of subsidies in Lebanon without guarantees to protect the vulnerable would amount to a social catastrophe, two UN agencies said on Monday, warning there is no parachute to soften the blow. With Lebanon deep in financial crisis, the central bank has been subsidising basic goods by providing hard currency to importers at the old exchange rate of 1,500 Lebanese pounds to the dollar even as the currency fell by 80% from the peg. Central bank governor Riad Salameh said last week the subsidies could be kept for only two more months, urging the state should come up with a […]

Despite repeatedly pledging to be apolitical, Pfizer and Moderna have been criticized for waiting to release their ‘Phase 3’ trial data until just days after the Nov. 3 vote, while shooting down Trump’s insistence that a vaccines would be approved in a matter of weeks as extreme hyperbole, if not an outright lie. More than a month later, Pfizer and Moderna have revealed that they remain in close contact with the Biden team. As it turns out, Biden may have been briefed on the initial Pfizer and Moderna data before President Trump, even though, at that point, Biden’s victory had been […]

Numerous thought leaders agree that climate change is the defining issue of the twenty-first century. To garner widespread support for their cause, activists often present climate change as an existential risk. We are repeatedly told that there is incontrovertible evidence that humans are the main cause of climate change and that its effects are cataclysmic. Failing to uphold any of these positions can result in great reputational damage for pundits and scholars. Due to fear of backlash many choose to remain silent. Revisiting the history of climate change, however, would temper the hysteria of climate alarmism. Climate change is not a new phenomenon, […]

By Michael Snyder This is starting to get really frightening. This week, the US Department of Defense unveiled the very first images of the “COVID-19 vaccination record cards” that will be given to every person who gets one of the COVID-19 vaccines. Now that such a record is going to be available, it is probably inevitable that some schools, businesses and government entities will want to starting requiring people to provide “proof of vaccination”. If this starts to happen, the public needs to protest very loudly against it. In addition, when someone receives a COVID-19 vaccine, that fact will be reported […]

INTL was riding high as recently as 2018, when geopolitical entanglements stopped two proposed deals involving rival chipmaker Qualcomm.

New York Governor and Dr. Anthony Fauci had a grand time laughing and joking during a coronavirus briefing on Monday with Cuomo saying he and Fauci are like the famous movie actors Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.

Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi, deputy commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), claimed in a state media interview on Sunday that nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was assassinated on November 27 by a “satellite-controlled machine gun” that utilized an “advanced camera and artificial intelligence.” Iranian government and media sources previously claimed Fakhrizadeh was killed by a team of “terrorists” armed with Israeli weapons after a fierce gun battle with his bodyguards. Fadavi contradicted these reports by saying there were “no terrorists on the scene.” Instead, Fadavi said a machine gun mounted on a Nissan pickup truck and controlled over the Internet […]
Fiction writing students learn about the handful of archetypal plots, including man versus nature. Usually that means something like 127 Hours, where a hiker in Utah gets stuck in a slot canyon, or Life of Pi, where a man and a tiger try to survive being shipwrecked together. But a plot about humans who set out to ruin the water, air, soil and planet that sustained their life would just be stupid, right?

By B.N. Frank Cities worldwide as well as entire countries have banned, delayed, and stopped 5G installation due to health and safety risks. American opposition continues to increase for a variety of reasons in addition to health and safety risks (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). Federal agencies and reliable experts have warned that 5G threatens jobs, national security, public safety, and weather forecasting accuracy (see 1, 2). Nevertheless, a few months ago, Trump reintroduced his proposal to have a nationalized 5G plan and The Department of Defense (DoD) wants to own and operate it with Google. American legislators […]
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe casted doubt on whether a Biden administration will even come to fruition in light of the massive election fraud evidence already uncovered. Speaking on “Sunday Morning Futures”, Ratcliffe hinted that a Joe Biden presidency may not even happen when asked if his Cabinet picks would reverse President Trump’s China policies. “Well, these election issues – we’ll see who is in what seats and whether there is a Biden administration,” Ratcliffe said. Ratcliffe noted that regardless of who ends up helming the U.S. government in January, America must hold “China accountable for who they really are […]
One day after JPMorgan warned that the biggest threats for markets as we enter 2021 are “crowded trades and euphoric consensus“, Goldman has jumped on the cautionary bandwagon, writing that with its Friday close at an all-time high of 3699 (and a 16.5% total return YTD ), the S&P500 has reached the bank’s year-end target of 3700. Additionally, and as we discussed in our weekend post about the stupidity that is the Fed model and why low interest rates do not justify blow out multiples, Goldman also points out that “absolute valuation is high compared with history with the forward P/E […]
Two lawsuits alleging massive election fraud by Democrats have been dismissed in Georgia and Michigan. The suits, filed by former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, alleged a vast conspiracy to rig the election for Joe Biden. Powell’s first setback came in Michigan on Monday, when US District Court Judge Linda V. Parker rejected a suit asking for Joe Biden’s win in the state to be overturned, based on the theory that voting machines manufactured by Dominion – a foreign-owned company – “flipped” thousands of votes from Donald Trump to Biden in Detroit.

(Natural News) The Danish government abandoned a proposed “epidemic law” that would have given it broad powers to enact measures against the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), including forced vaccinations, after nine days of public protests. Had it been passed, the law would have allowed the government to conduct forced physical exams and mandate isolation. It was, however, the part about police-directed forced vaccinations that caused the biggest uproar resulting in the protests that eventually saw the law being dropped. (Related: University of California being sued over its mandatory flu vaccine policy.) New “epidemic law” was set to replace expired emergency law Denmark’s “epidemic law” […]

By Matt Agorist Lincoln, NH — On the list of arbitrary police state nonsense doled out by tyrants across the country that will get you extorted, kidnapped, or caged over COVID-19, we can now add guitarists sitting too close. Yes, you read that correctly. According to a report out of Lincoln, New Hampshire, the White Mountain Tavern is being fined $1,000 for allegedly hosting a musical performance last month where two guitarists performed too close together. The bar hosted a musical show last month and someone apparently snitched on them because the guitarists weren’t properly socially distanced. According to the report, […]
The United States has sanctioned over a dozen more top Chinese officials related to interference in Hong Kong. On Monday the Department of the Treasury announced it has designated 14 individuals who are all members of China’s National People’s Congress, after last month Hong Kong’s Beijing-backed government expelled four opposition member’s from its legislature.

The hosts of The View took aim at Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) over her panned Senate debate performance, noting on Monday that she came across as a “programmed robot” and that she had a “Manchurian Candidate vibe” to her. During her debate against Democratic opponent Rev. Raphael Warnock, Loeffler found herself heavily leaning on canned talking points in order to avoid answering direct questions, especially when asked about President Donald Trump’s election loss, repeatedly saying that “the president has the right to pursue every legal resource.” She also called Warnock a “radical liberal” at least a dozen times during the course […]

What's happening in France? It's a reasonable question that worries even international authorities, the UN included, not least because independent UN human rights experts have declared that a controversial French bill on global security is incompatible with international human rights law. Meanwhile, images of police brutality have raised a public outcry and the Collective Against Islamophobia in France (CCIF) and a Muslim NGO, Baraka City, have been dissolved during a session of the French Council of State.

By B.N. Frank Last year, actor/producer/activist Mark Ruffalo released the film, Dark Waters about DuPont dumping toxic chemical waste into the water supply of a West Virginia community. He also asked Congress to take action against “Forever Chemicals” created and improperly disposed of by DuPont and other companies. Unfortunately, “Forever Chemicals” and the nation’s not-so-great water supply (see 1, 2) may not be as much of a priority to president-elect Biden as environmentalists had hoped. Longtime environmental activist Erin Brockovich recently wrote a scathing open letter to Joe Biden that was published in The Guardian: Dear Joe Biden: are you kidding […]
Actor Matthew McConaughey was savaged by woke idiots on Twitter merely for daring to say that Hollywood liberals “condescend” to and “patronize” conservatives. McConaughey, who describes himself politically as an “aggressive centrist,” made the comments during an appearance on Russell Brand’s podcast. Brand asked McConaughey if he thought there was a pattern of “condemnation and criticism of ordinary working people” in the entertainment industry when it came to political issues. “[There is] a kind of offhandedness, like, ‘Oh, they’re dumb, they’re voting for Brexit, they’re voting for Trump.’ I don’t like it, and I don’t like to hear it,” said Brand.

After explosive video was presented during a Georgia state Senate hearing which clearly shows a handful of election workers in Atlanta waiting for observers and the press to leave, before producing several containers of ballots for a late-night vote-counting party, a group called Lead Stories published a “hoax alert” which falsely claims to have debunked the footage. The “hoax alert” was peddled by the Washington Post, Newsweek and others – and among other things states that government officials told them that the ballots were in “containers — not suitcases,” and that “party observers were never told to leave because counting was […]
