Bitcoin held steady around $57,000 on Friday after a near-10% decline over the past week. The cryptocurrency is roughly flat over the past 24 hours, compared with a 5% rise in ether and an 8% rise in Solana’s SOL token over the same period. “Market sentiment seems short-term bearish/sideways – people are shorting BTC in the perpetual futures market,” Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, wrote in a blog post on Friday. Analysts pointed to rising leverage as a possible sign of froth in the crypto market, which forced some traders to liquidate long positions earlier this week. From a technical […]
On Friday, Judge Jeanine Pirro spoke to thousands of patriots at the American Freedom Tour in Phoenix, Arizona. Pirro told Arizona about the law and order that we are losing in this country. She spoke about her disgust as a former judge and prosecutor, by the unequal application of the law to conservatives like Kyle Rittenhouse. Pirro began to praise Rittenhouse for his bravery while sneering at the evil he is facing when attendees yelled that he was currently under sentencing.

Push backs in the Aegean Sea have diverted vessels carrying irregular migrants to Italy, Turkey's interior minister said on Friday, Anadolu News Agency reports. Noting recent reports of an increase in irregular migrant arrivals in Italy from Turkey, Suleyman Soylu told Anadolu Agency that the ships carrying these migrants were not coming from Turkey. Soylu's remarks came ahead of his departure from Italy, where he received an award on Thursday from the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean for an app developed by the Turkish government to help women deal with domestic violence. "There are push backs in the Aegean Sea. I […]
China’s state-run Global Times published an op-ed by its editor-in-chief, Hu Xijin, on Thursday in which Hu argues that China “should be prepared with an iron fist” to use against Australia if the nation follows through with a recent promise to support the U.S. in a theoretical war with China over Taiwan. “Over the past two years, Australian officials constantly made public statements or hinted they will send troops to join the fight once a war breaks out in the Taiwan Straits,” Hu recalled on November 18. “Some of them clamor that Australian soldiers should be prepared to fight,” he added.

LONDON – The British government announced new defense collaborations with Poland and the Ukraine on the back of a visit to the two Eastern European nations by Defence Secretary Ben Wallace this week. Poland announced Nov. 18 that it had selected MBDA’s Common Anti-air Modular Missile (CAMM) and launcher as the centerpiece of its multibillion-dollar NAREW air defense system program being developed and led-by local company PGZ. During a visit to the Ukraine, meanwhile, the British said the two sides had made progress in talks over a modernization plan for the nation’s navy. The Polish government has previously described the NAREW […]
Country and hip-hop legend Kid Rock released a music video for his new song, “Don’t Tell Me How To Live,” on Thursday. The track is a pro-free speech anthem Kid Rock recorded with a Canadian rock band called Monster Truck. “Snowflakes” and “pussies” get called out by the Detroit native along with mainstream media “minions and their agenda.” At one point, Kid rock sings, “Every opinion has a millennial offended,” before voicing his support for the First and Second Amendments. Pro-America music is making a massive comeback as hip-hop musicians topped the charts with anti-Covid lockdown songs last month and fellow-Detroit […]
An indictment unsealed in New York Thursday charged two Iranian nationals for their alleged involvement in a “cyber-enabled campaign to intimidate and influence American voters, and otherwise undermine voter confidence and sow discord, in connection with the 2020 U.S. presidential election,” according to a Department of Justice (DoJ) press release. Seyyed Kazemi, 24, and Sajjad Kashian, 27, Iranian nationals, were indicted by a grand jury in Manhattan federal court this week. The indictment claims Kazemi and Kashian obtained voter information from one state website while attempting to access others. The duo posed as a “group of Proud Boys volunteers” and created bogus […]
Kyle Rittenhouse’s acquittal by a Kenosha, Wisconsin jury has divided Americans. Outraged Democrats called it a miscarriage of justice, while Republicans hailed it as due process and warned about malicious prosecutions. Rittenhouse,18, was charged with murdering two participants in the August 2020 riot and injuring another. He was found not guilty on all counts on Friday, after the jury deliberated for four days amid intense media coverage.

(Natural News) Two surveys conducted at the onset of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic last year showed that the average French citizen grossly overestimates the infection to fatality ratio (IFR) of the disease. These surveys were the highlights of a recent study published in Frontiers in Psychology last February. The study authors conducted two surveys between March and April 2020 – the first one two weeks after lockdowns were implemented in France and the second one two weeks before the lockdowns ended. The first survey’s 1,005 respondents believed the IFR for COVID-19 was at 16.46 percent. Meanwhile, the second survey with 1,004 […]

As the last private plane takes off from the Glasgow airport and the dust settles, the detritus of the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP26, remains. The final communiqués are slowly being digested, their limited scope inevitable. António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, closed the proceedings by painting two dire images: ‘Our fragile planet is hanging by a thread. We are still knocking on the door of climate catastrophe. It is time to go into emergency mode – or our chance of reaching net zero will itself be zero’. The loudest cheer in the main hall did […]
You should expect, in the very near future, to see photos of a beaming Kyle Rittenhouse again holding court in a Wisconsin bar — surrounded by Proud Boys, white nationalists and other fascist fanboys — while flashing white power signs and wearing the same “Free as Fuck” t-shirt he wore the last time he went carousing, just hours after he’d pleaded not guilty in court. In the coming months, Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz might really follow through on his talk about giving Rittenhouse a congressional internship so that he can continue what Gaetz describes as “helping the country in additional ways,” […]

The French luxury fashion house Christian Dior removed a photo of a Chinese model holding one of its handbags from a Shanghai art exhibit on Thursday, just two days after Chinese state media outlets published articles online criticizing the image as “smearing Asian women.” Chen Man, a well-known Chinese photographer, shot the image in question, featured in a “Lady Dior” fashion exhibition that opened at Shanghai’s West Bund Art Center on November 12. French fashion brand #Dior continued to face a lingering controversy on Chinese social media over a recent photo accused of smearing the image of #Chinese women, with some Chinese […]
The Navy has been cannibalizing parts from a future aircraft carrier to ensure that the much-delayed and costly carrier Gerald R. Ford is ready to deploy next year, officials confirmed this week. None of the parts transferred to Ford from the under-construction John F. Kennedy are expected to impact that future carrier’s construction schedule, according to Capt. Clay Doss, a Navy spokesman. The Kennedy cannibalization includes “HMI screens for stores elevators as well as motor controllers, power supplies, small pumps, limit switches and valve actuators for various systems throughout the ship,” Doss said. “This is not unusual early in a program […]
By Matt Taibbi and Matt Orfalea, via Substack, Kyle Rittenhouse was found innocent on all six felony charges today, already causing a great exploding of heads in the pundit-o-sphere. Unrest wouldn’t be surprising. How could it be otherwise? Colleagues in national media spent over a year telling the country the 18-year-old was not just guilty, but a moral monster whose acquittal would be an in-your-face affirmation of systemic white supremacy. It used to bother me that journalists were portrayed in pop culture as sniveling, amoral weenies. Take William Atherton’s iconic portrayal in Die Hard of “Thornburg,” the TV-news creep who gasps, […]
(Natural News) More than 10,000 Australians have registered for a government program that will give compensation to those who suffered from health issues after getting vaccinated against the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). Australians who lost their income after being hospitalized for serious vaccine adverse effects are qualified to receive compensation starting from A$5,000 ($3,620). The Australian government may face A$50 million ($36.2) payments in order to keep its obligation. So far, Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration has received almost 79,000 reports of adverse effects from 36.8 million doses of the vaccine, the most frequently reported being a sore arm, fever and chills. The TGA also received 288 […]

The White House released a statement Friday afternoon from Joe Biden in which he says he is “angry and concerned” about the not guilty on all counts verdict by the Kyle Rittenhouse jury in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Biden’s written statement came an hour after he spoke to reporters and did not mention being “angry and concerned,” instead saying he had not watched the trial, adding, “Look, I stand by what the jury has concluded. The jury system works and we have to abide by it.” JUST IN: Pres. Biden responds to Kyle Rittenhouse verdict: “I stand by what the jury has concluded. […]
The Middle East Quartet has said it is "deeply concerned" over Israel's growing settlements in Palestinian territories and ongoing violence in the occupied West Bank, Anadolu News Agency reports.

"The Envoys remain deeply concerned by developments in the West Bank, Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, including ongoing acts of violence in the West Bank, the advancement of new settlement units, the untenable fiscal crisis within the Palestinian Authority and threats of violence from […]
“With the passage of the Build Back Better Act, we, this Democratic Congress, are taking our place in the long and honorable heritage of our democracy with legislation that will be the pillar of health and financial security in America,” Pelosi said in a floor speech before the vote. “It will be historic in forging landmark progress for our nation.” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), Pelosi’s longtime deputy, called it “one of the most consequential bills that any member will ever vote on.” All but one Democrat — Rep.

The Independent falsely claimed that Kyle Rittenhouse “shot three black men with rifle” after he was cleared of two charges of murder, one charge of attempted murder, and two charges of reckless endangerment in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The legacy British news outlet, which no longer publishes a print edition but retains an online audience and influence in the UK media and political sphere, led with ‘Full story: Teenager who shot three black men with rifle found not guilty on all charges” as the top subheadline of its front-page coverage of the verdict. In fact, Rittenhouse’s three assailants — Joseph Rosenbaum, a 36-year-old convicted paedophile […]
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan’s armor modernization efforts are maturing amid a refocus toward archrival India and away from operations against the militant group TTP, otherwise known as Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan. With India having ordered the advanced T-90MS tank, built a large fleet of T-90A tanks and upgraded most T-72M1 tanks, Pakistan is countering with its own acquisition and upgrade programs for new types of vehicles and improved battlefield integration. Though low-level acquisition continued throughout the TTP campaign, author, analyst and former Australian defense attache to Islamabad Brian Cloughley explained that necessity demanded larger programs be cut back or frozen. “The expansion of […]
No matter how liberal activists try to paint it, the jury served justice in the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial, though the state’s conduct and pundits’ painting of events made the entire ordeal a warning for where we are headed. The Rittenhouse trial, irrelevant of its outcome, was an embarrassment for the Wisconsin and US justice system as a whole. It’s telling that, while this case involved two dead victims, Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum, and an 18-year-old on trial for his life, two other characters became lightning rods for controversy and attention. Lead prosecutor Thomas Binger spent the better part of […]
Authored by Michael Snyder via TheMostImportantNews.com, You can thank Joe Biden for the madness that is about to unfold. As I discussed yesterday, the OSHA mandate that would cover more than 80 million American workers has been officially put on hold, but Biden’s other mandates are still in effect. So that means that vast numbers of patriotic young Americans are about to be kicked out of the military. We better hope that Russia and China don’t decide to suddenly make some big moves after our military is ruthlessly gutted. Countless numbers of federal employees are about to be forced out of their […]
President Joe Biden has expressed support for the jury’s decision in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, and called on those upset to avoid “violence and destruction.” However, Biden said the verdict left him “angry and concerned.” A jury in Kenosha on Friday acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse of murder and reckless endangerment – charges that stemmed from his fatal shooting of Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and his wounding of Gaige Grosskreutz during ‘Black Lives Matter’ protests that turned violent in the Wisconsin city last year. “While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must […]
(Natural News) Today’s podcast is a bombshell that needs to be understood by anyone hoping to survive the vaccine holocaust, because it’s really a “genetic bomb” against humanity. The vaccine, by suppressing the natural DNA repair mechanism in the body — known as NHEJ, or Non-Homologous End Joining — makes people highly susceptible to devastating, cancerous mutations even when exposed to very low levels of ionizing radiation such as sunlight exposure or mammography. With NHEJ suppressed by the spike protein, the body can no longer repair its damaged DNA, and cells mutate out of control, devastating the entire body […]
COP 26 reaffirmed what has been obvious from the beginning: the Northern colonial and capitalist states most responsible for creating the climate crisis are unwilling to place people before profits in order to address the planet’s looming ecological collapse and humanitarian catastrophe. We need justice. But that word — Justice! — despite all of the philosophical pontificating from John Locke to John Rawls, is a concept incompatible with the rapacious civilizational logic of a colonial/capitalist system based on self-interest, greed, and social Darwinism.

With the advent of cryptocurrency and related technologies, and with the failure of the existing banking-centric monetary architecture to address inequities and avoid financial crises, the one thing people tend to agree on is that our system of money needs an overhaul, specifically an upgrade to meet the needs of the digital economy.

If Kenosha or any other Democrat-run cities burn tonight, the blame lies squarely on the liars who spread the lies to encourage these riots: Joe Biden and the corporate media. Kyle Rittenhouse has been found not guilty on all counts. Well, no shit. It’s on video. Of course, he’s not guilty. Now, no one, much less a 17-year-old, should be running into a riot carrying an AR-15. But terrible judgment is not, nor should it be, a crime. It was a no-brainer verdict. Of course, the fascist Kenosha, Wisconsin, prosecutors knew it was a no-brainer verdict. But the fascist prosecutors likely […]
WASHINGTON — The Department of Defense Friday issued solicitations to Amazon Web Services, Google, Microsoft and Oracle to bid on its next major cloud initiative, the replacement for the controversial Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI, contract. After a years long battle, the Pentagon scrapped the JEDI cloud contract, which would have been worth up to $10 billion over a decade. That was intended to be a single vendor effort, initially awarded to Microsoft. Amazon, which lost to Microsoft, filed suit in court alleging in part that then-President Donald Trump interfered with the decision because of his public feud with Amazon […]

When asked Friday about timing for final passage of the defense policy bill, Senate Armed Services Chair Jack Reed (D-R.I.) laughed and replied: “We got to wait until we get to the vote.” The defense policy bill, first on the to-do list, could take up much of the first week of December. The chamber also needs to fund the government past Dec. 3. Under that timeline, Democrats aren’t expecting the Senate to take up the social spending bill until the second week of December, at the earliest. And that’s assuming Manchin (D-W.Va.) agrees to move forward by then. Earlier this week, […]

“The people are going to love it when they learn about it. And the politics will follow,” Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.), who leads the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said in a brief interview. “A decade from now, the Biden administration will be viewed as truly an FDR-type presidency,” added Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pa.), whose swing district narrowly backed Biden in 2020. “It’s going to take a while for all that to shake out, for people to recognize it. History, unfortunately, gets developed over the long term.” Unlike in 2010, when former President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats fumbled the messaging […]

By Laraine C. Abbey-Katzev RN, MS, CNS Read Part 1 HERE What’s Behind the COVID Curtain? The “men behind the COVID curtain” are working overtime to prevent interference in their COVID agendas, which is why emergency use authorization (EUA) for COVID 19 vaccines persists and is protected by worldwide stakeholders. EUAs are only legally possible when there are no effective treatments (which there are). Maintaining the COVID 19 illness and its vaccine EUAs serves an enormous number of enterprising people, absent the rest of humanity. Many folks realized something nefarious was going on. The following provides some background. CDC, NIH, and […]

(Natural News) Lately we have warned you about the trend of acute injuries, including sudden death, resulting from Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccination.” But another thing to keep in mind is that in most of the “fully vaccinated,” a much more subtle slow kill process is taking place. The effects of this slow kill process may not be immediately apparent, but over time they become more apparent as the injections wear away at the immune system, leaving it more prone to infection with other viruses. Dr. Ryan Cole, a board-certified pathologist who runs the largest independent diagnostics lab in Idaho, […]

It is a lesson the U.S. space program has had to learn many times over: don’t voluntarily give up a space capability without having a successor ready to go or already operational. But for the ISS (International Space Station), a gap in LEO (low Earth orbit) scientific research capability will likely not occur when the iconic outpost ends its career, whenever that may be. And that is in large part due to Axiom, a private space organization with private funding that will begin adding modules to the ISS in 2024 — with the goal that those added modules will then be […]

Bitcoin trading volumes are rising in Turkey as the increasingly authoritarian government there goes diligently about the work of setting its currency, the lira, on fire. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has retained power since 2003, has to all appearances lost his mind: With inflation sitting at around 20%, Erdogan yesterday lowered Turkey’s key interest rate to 18% from 19% (no, not a typo), instead of raising them to tighten the money supply. Currency markets have responded decisively to the expected move, with the lira losing 10% of its value against the U.S. dollar since Monday. Some Turkish citizens decided […]
“Democrats have been working in good faith for several days, actually for several months really, to pass this defense legislation,” Schumer lamented on the floor late Thursday. “Members on both sides want to get this done, so these delays are unfortunate.

By Matt Agorist Austria has been jettisoned to the forefront of the media this week as they devolve into what’s become a police state wrapped in a humanitarian crisis. Their society is being split in two — citizens are being segregated and discriminated against based on weather or not they have undergone a medical treatment. The vaccinated are allowed to have their rights while the unvaccinated are confined to their homes, only allowed out with the permission of the ruling class. Beginning on Monday, Austria placed millions of citizens not fully vaccinated in lockdown. One-third of the entire population is now […]
