By Jake Johnson This is a developing story… Check back for possible updates… A U.K. court ruled Monday that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange can appeal a December decision permitting his extradition to the United States, where the Department of Justice is attempting to prosecute the journalist for publishing classified information that exposed war crimes. “What happened in court today is precisely what we wanted to happen,” Stella Moris, Assange’s fiancée, said during a press conference outside the Royal Courts in central London following the decision. “Make no mistake, we won today in court.” “But let’s not forget that every time we […]

By Matt Agorist Brooklyn, NY — Charges against the now-disgraced NYPD detective Joseph Franco are being welcomed by the families of more than 130 more New Yorkers as it is leading to the dismissal of their family members’ charges. Franco was reportedly caught framing innocent individuals last year and this is the second wave of case dismissals tied to his corruption.. Last April, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez’s Conviction Review Unit asked for the dismissal of 27 felony convictions and 63 misdemeanor convictions based on Franco’s corrupt policing. Now, that number has grown as Bronx Supreme Court Justice David Lewis granted the motion […]

By Tyler Durden “If you’re hitting the grocery store to prepare for winter weather, please just buy what you need and leave some for others! You may have noticed empty shelves in some stores due to national supply chain issues, but there is no need to buy more than you normally would.”  Above is a recent tweet from the DC Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (DC HSEMA) completely contradicting what President Biden told the nation last Wednesday that images of empty store shelves in supermarkets are fake news. Biden, talking about his Build Back Better legislation, said, “First fix the […]

By B.N. Frank Research has determined that wearing Virtual Reality (VR) headsets can cause behavioral changes, balance issues, cognitive problems, eye problems (soreness, vision changes), headaches, and other discomforts.  In fact, last summer Facebook recalled millions of VR face liners due to skin irritation complaints.  Nevertheless, VR, AR (Augmented Reality), and now Mixed Reality (MR) headsets are increasingly being promoted for a variety of uses including education (see 1, 2), medical treatments (see 1, 2, 3), and employee training (see 1, 2).  Now expensive “Moon Boots” are being promoted along with them.

Op-Ed by Julie Beal Stefan Lanka and his followers have misled the anti-covidian movement in the most outrageous way. They’ve made people believe things that just aren’t true, and insist that no further thought is required. Since viruses don’t exist, they say, further research is not necessary and anyone who tries to say otherwise should be shouted down as soon as they open their mouths. The only thing you’re allowed to do is to contact virologists and ask for proof they don’t have, so they’re sending people on a wild goose-chase. Stefan Lanka has been promoting his theory since 1998, and […]

By Tyler Durden Smart guns are being pushed in mainstream media to prevent unauthorized people from firing guns in the hopes of preventing mass shootings. Biometric recognition technology using fingerprints and or RFID technology is used to activate the high-tech pistols. However, as outlined by the pro-gun website Bearing Arms, smart guns aren’t so smart after a possible demonstration failure. Smart guns could be prone to reliability issues in life in death situations. * * * Submitted by Bearing Arms.  Over the last week or so, so-called smart guns have been everywhere in the mainstream media. In the Second Amendment community, there’s […]

By Paul Joseph Watson The German government is seriously “concerned” over the sheer number of protests against COVID restrictions in recent weeks, which are the most widespread in the country’s history. Influential German broadsheet Die Welt reveals that on the same day, protests took place in over 1,000 locations across the country. “The government is concerned about the decentralized actions,” reports the newspaper, with one source labeling the “immensity” of the demonstrations “depressing.” “Never before in the history of the Federal Republic have there been demonstrations that are more widespread than in the last few weeks,” states the report, with the […]

By B.N. Frank So far, there seems to have been no significant effort made by the U.S. government or the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) to protect Americans from any risks associated with SpaceX and other companies’ satellites.  However, lawsuits have been filed against the FCC for approving their deployment (see 1, 2, 3) and an astronomy professor filed an amicus brief with one of the lawsuits.  In March 2021, a petition was also filed with the FCC to pause satellite deployment due to risks.  Nevertheless, tens of thousands of broadband satellites and similar vehicles have been and continue to be approved […]

By Matt Agorist Patterson, NJ — In April of last year, a Paterson man who was left severely disabled after being shot by a police officer, received $450,000 in a taxpayer-funded settlement with the city. Larry Bouie, 46, was in the midst of a mental breakdown with his pants around his ankles when officer Haydee Santana shot him in the stomach. Now, after the taxpayers were fleeced to pay for Santana’s trigger happiness, they’re being held to the fire once more — this time, they’ll be paying a six-figure bonus to Santana. It’s a lose-lose situation for the taxpayers of Patterson […]

By Isabel van Brugen NATO made public its official “overarching Space Policy” this week, outlining how it would protect its members from space attacks, citing threats from potential adversaries. The U.S.-led alliance said its collective defense principles will be extended to outer space in response to developments made at last year’s Brussels Summit. “At the 2021 Brussels Summit, Allies agreed that attacks to, from, or within space present a clear challenge to the security of the Alliance, the impact of which could threaten national and Euro-Atlantic prosperity, security, and stability, and could be as harmful to modern societies as a conventional attack. Such […]

By Lawrence W. Reed Only one country in the entire world can boast of more cars than people within its borders—an astounding 25 percent more, according to the most recent statistics. Can you guess the country? I’ll give you a few more hints: This fascinating enclave’s GDP per capita ranks among the highest on the planet, almost as high as that of the United States. It claims, credibly, to be home to the oldest existing sovereign state as well as the oldest constitutional republic. For most of its 17 centuries of existence, it’s been one of the freer and more tolerant of […]

By Tyler Durden For much of the past month we have been warning that as the broader investing public has been fascinated by the mounting speculation that the Fed will hike 4 times (or even “six or seven” times, thank you Jamie Dimon) and commence shrinking its balance sheet, the US economy had quietly hit a major air pocket and – whether due to Omicron or because the vast majority of US consumers are once again tapped out (see more below) – US GDP growth is now rapidly collapsing and may turn negative as soon as this or next quarter as […]

By Joe Lauria Throughout the long, documented history of the United States illegally overthrowing governments of foreign lands to build a global empire there has emerged three ways Washington broadly carries out “regime change.” From Above. If the targeted leader has been democratically elected and enjoys popular support, the C.I.A. has worked with elite groups, such as the military, to overthrow him (sometimes through assassination).  Among several examples is the first C.I.A-backed coup d’état, on March 30, 1949,  just 18 months after the agency’s founding, when Syrian Army Colonel Husni al-Za’im overthrew the elected president, Shukri al-Quwatli. The C.I.A. in 1954 […]

By B.N. Frank Screen addiction and exposure had been identified as a significant problem among kids and teens long before schools transitioned to Virtual Learning due to COVID-19.  Research has determined that children’s use of smartphones and other screens as well as their exposure to blue light, cell phone and Wi-Fi radiation and other Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) is harmful to their health.  American Academy of Pediatrics and other health experts have been warning about children’s vulnerability to this for years.  In fact, American tech insiders (aka “Silicon Valley Parents”) have taken what may be considered extreme measures to limit their own […]

By Tyler Durden NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory warned Thursday of a “significant solar flare” event. The powerful burst of energy from the Sun, classified as an M5.5 class flare, sparked radio blackouts across the Indian Ocean. Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare can’t pass through Earth’s atmosphere to affect humans on the ground, however – when intense enough – they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS & communications signals travel. — NASA Sun & Space (@NASASun) January 20, 2022 “The Sun emitted a mid-level solar flare on January 20, 2022, peaking at […]

By Tyler Durden Fox News’ Pentagon correspondent is reporting early Saturday that all family members of US embassy personnel in Kiev, Ukraine have been ordered to evacuate. “State Department orders families of U.S. embassy personnel in Ukraine to begin evacuating the country as soon as Monday: U.S. officials,” Fox’s Lucas Tomlinson reports. It first emerged Friday that the Biden administration was mulling a plan to evacuate diplomats’ family members from Ukraine as a “precautionary measure” amid the continued crisis wherein Washington has predicted some level of a Russian offensive on the Ukraine border. Russian fighter jets arriving in Belarus, north of Ukraine. U.S. officials concerned Ukraine’s capital “now in […]

By Joe Mullin This week, the U.K. government launched an unprecedented and deceptive effort to kill off end-to-end encryption. They’ve hired a fancy ad agency to convince people that encrypted messages are dangerous to children. The explicit goal of the “No Place to Hide” campaign, launched on Tuesday, is to prevent Facebook from expanding its use of end-to-end encryption. Currently, Facebook’s WhatsApp messaging system uses end-to-end encryption, but other communications systems, including Facebook Messenger, are scanned and checked against a US government database, run by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), which identifies child abuse images. Over the […]

By B.N. Frank Unlike countless other modern tracking and/or wearable devices, this new COVID detector has no power source and does not emit harmful radiation which can reduce our immunity to viruses (including COVID) and other illness (see 1, 2, 3).  Of course only time will tell if it will be effective in reducing COVID infections or if it will simply cause more anxiety.

By B.N. Frank Fingers crossed that sooner rather than later all Electric Vehicles (EVs) will be safer, more affordable, and more eco-friendly.  In the meantime, various dangerous and environmentally un-friendly issues have been and continue to be reported about all of them which has in some cases led to recalls (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). It’s unfortunate that EVs are already notorious for Despite this, it seems that the Biden administration supports putting A LOT more of them on U.S. roads before thoroughly addressing these issues. Additionally, there have been reports worldwide about EVs catching fire and exploding […]

By Tyler Durden While President Biden was occupied Friday trying to take credit for a new factory for the production of semiconductors (and all the jobs – construction-related and otherwise – that he said it would create), a federal judge in Texas was issuing an injunction to put the second major piece of Biden’s vaccine mandate on ice. After SCOTUS last week rejected the administration’s attempt to force corporations to abide by the mandate via OSHA, a federal court in Texas has issued an injunction against Biden’s jab mandate for federal workers, the other part of his administration’s attempts to force […]

By Howard Nema, TruthTalkNews I recently interviewed my dear friend, author and investigative journalist Janet Phelan to raise awareness and help promote her new book, At the BREAKING POINT of HISTORY How Decades of U.S. Duplicity Enabled the Pandemic. As public outcry against the COVID Nazis forces the UK to put an end to the mandates and Pfizer’s head stating the pandemic will end by April, Janet and I discuss the January 19th rollout of 5G and two alternative bioweapon delivery systems covered in her new book that could be implemented to continue the UN/World Economic Forum’s global depopulation/deindustrialization agenda. ?

By Tyler Durden It’s the latest example of “vaccines for thee, but not for me…” Despite the fact that the Supreme Court has blocked OSHA from enforcing the Biden Administration’s corporate vaccination mandate for most US workers, the administration has decided to require travelers visiting the US for “essential” reasons – i.e. to fill “essential” jobs like serving as a hospital nurse treating COVID patients – to be fully vaccinated. Travelers arriving in the US by plane have already been required to prove their vaccination status for months now. But the new restrictions, which take effect at the beginning of next […]

(Oklahoma City, Oklahoma — January 21, 2022) – An Oklahoma state representative introduced legislation this week that would enable the State Treasurer to protect Sooner State funds from inflation and financial risk by holding physical gold and silver. Introduced by Rep. Sean Roberts, HB 3681 would include physical gold and silver, owned directly, to the list of permissible investments that the State Treasurer can hold. Currently, Oklahoma money managers are largely relegated to investing in low-yield, dollar-denominated debt instruments. Other than Ohio, no state is currently known to hold any precious metals, even as inflation and financial turmoil accelerate globally. Yes, […]

By Thorsten Polleit I. THE STARTING CONDITIONS In this article I want to explain that a rapid departure from the free market system (or what is left of it today) is taking place before our eyes, and that this is a development that endangers not only prosperity but also the peaceful coexistence of people in this world. To explain this to you and to find a solution to the problem, I am beginning my lecture with the starting conditions. The economies are struggling to recover from the politically dictated lockdown crisis. The fact that the international production and logistics chains have […]

By Matt Agorist Chicago, IL — For years after murdering a high school student in October 2018, former Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke was found guilty of 2nd degree murder and 16 counts of aggravated battery with a firearm after shooting and killing 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. In January 2019, he was sentenced to just 6 years and 9 months in prison. While the sentence is certainly short given the slew of crimes, what little justice was being served came to a grinding halt this week after authorities announced that Van Dyke will be released early, serving less than half of […]

By  Isabel van Brugen via The Epoch Times (emphasis ZeroHedge) The new Czech government on Wednesday threw out the previous administration’s plan to mandate COVID-19 vaccines for over-60s and people in key professions. Under the former government, older adults, health care workers, firefighters, police officers and medical students would have been required to be vaccinated against COVID-19, effective March. But Prime Minister Petr Fiala scrapped his predecessor Andrej Babis’s decree, which was issued in early December. He told reporters Wednesday that his new center-right government did not see the need for mandatory vaccination. “We’ve agreed that vaccination against COVID-19 won’t be […]

By Michael Snyder Death is in the air. Unless you have been living in a cave for the past 12 months, you already know that this is true. Old people are dying, young people are dying, famous people are dying, and countless hard working Americans that make up the backbone of our economy are dying. For months, I have been writing articles about “the mystery of the missing workers”. For the very first time in U.S. history, we have a severe shortage of able-bodied workers, and this is one of the biggest reasons why we are facing an unprecedented supply chain […]

By Alice Giordano At least 25 federal agencies have implemented a system to track religious exemption requests for mandated vaccines, according to a review of Federal Register notices by The Epoch Times. The agencies include the departments of Justice, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, the Treasury, the Social Security Administration, the Federal Election Commission. The Heritage Foundation, a conservative group, earlier this week found that 19 agencies were either considering or have already implemented the tracking system. The group warned that the system may be a test pilot plan to monitor all federal workers. An Epoch Time review […]

By Tyler Durden Another company has abandoned its plans for a vaccination mandate and mandatory routine testing roughly one week after the Supreme Court killed President Biden’s plans to enforce a corporate vax mandate through OSHA. To wit, Starbucks has joined the ranks of American megacorps including General Electric in rejecting vaccine mandates by pausing its plans to require baristas to get vaccinated, or receive weekly testing. The decision was reported shortly before President Joe Biden blasted the SCOTUS ruling as a “mistake” during his Wednesday press briefing. Instead, Starbucks says it will “strongly encourage” baristas to get vaxxed while encouraging […]

The US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has partnered with a Virginia-based private identification firm which requires a facial recognition selfie among other things, in order to create or access online accounts with the agency. According to KrebsonSecurity, the IRS announced that by the summer of 2022, the only way to log into irs.gov will be through ID.me. Founded by former Army Rangers in 2010, the McLean-based company has evolved to providing online ID verification services which several states are using to help reduce unemployment and pandemic-assistance fraud. The company claims to have 64 million users. Some 27 states already use ID.me […]

By B.N.

By Peter C. Earle In 2021, we saw the unwinding of a number of policies and practices put in place in 2020, as well as the reversal of certain trends. Even as some states cast off lockdowns, compulsory masking, and other pandemic policies, others lifted and reapplied stringent measures time and time again. Even in the last weeks of the year there remained some policymakers acting as if it were February 2020. Political rifts in American society seem as deep and divisive as they’ve been in the living memory. Inflation is back, the current administration is being pilloried in polls, transportation […]

By B.N. Frank During last year’s devastating Texas winter snowstorm, natural gas sellers made $11B.  $11B!!!  Because of the storm, utility companies proposed that ratepayers pay to “weatherize their facilities to withstand future freezes” AND the utility regulator approved a customer-funded plan to recover utility debt during the storm.  Nevertheless, some Texans may still be at risk for a repeat of last year.

By Aden Tate There have been a number of news headlines over the course of the past year that I’ve personally found wildly disturbing. However, it is this one in particular from CNN that I’ve found to be of particular note. It’s titled, “Should the government control the price of food and gas?” Throughout the piece, author Charles Riley looks into the history of price controls both within the past 100 years and of more recent note as well. The basic question behind the article is this: because of rampant inflation “should governments consider setting the price of essential goods?” While […]

By Matt Agorist Several federal law enforcement agencies and the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s department are now the subject of a federal lawsuit after they were caught pulling over vehicles from an armored car company and robbing them of their cash. The stops were completely baseless as no crime had been committed and the cash inside the armored cars was from legal businesses — essentially making it literal highway robbery. According to the lawsuit, Empyreal Logistics, an armored car and fintech company that operates nationwide, is demanding a stop to the seizures as they have no basis under state or federal […]

By Tyler Durden Overwhelmed supply chains and truck driver shortages worsened when Canada imposed new border mandates prohibiting unvaccinated American truckers. With low vaccination rates among US drivers, Canadian supermarkets are already reporting rising food inflation and shortages of certain products, according to Bloomberg. Canada’s vaccine mandate for truckers came into effect on Saturday. The new rule requires US truckers to be vaccinated to cross the border. We warned earlier this week such a mandate would have “consequences.” The vaccine mandate has exacerbated the shortage of truck drivers and made wait times at border crossings even longer. Eighty percent of trade […]

By Walter Block What is happening with our supply chains? They seem very rusty, if not altogether broken. There are numerous ships at several California ports waiting patiently to be unloaded. We are talking thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of gigantic railroad car sized containers, all just sitting there; well, floating there. Meanwhile, our supermarket shelves are sometimes as much as half empty. Grocers are all too often out of the foodstuffs and other things we used to take for granted. A similar situation took place a while ago. Supermarkets in West Germany were chock full of products. In East Germany? […]

By Matt Agorist Since March of 2020, Americans and the world alike have watched from the sidelines as power-hungry politicians have ushered in draconian lockdowns, shutdowns, police state measures, and brought the economy to its knees. While governments around the planet used their central banks to devalue their currencies by printing money to fund their tyranny, the US led the way down this road to fiscal horror. Thanks to the trillions of dollars the Federal Reserve has printed over the last two years, America is currently in an inflation crisis. One need only look at the price of groceries over the […]

By Tyler Durden The first meal of the day may soon become more expensive for consumers as food inflation soars. A combination of citrus disease and adverse weather conditions have plagued Florida’s orange crop and may soon constrain supplies, which has already forced orange juice prices to multi-year highs as demand remains robust. “You have your classical supply-demand mismatch,” Shawn Hackett, president of Hackett Financial Advisors, which specializes in agricultural commodities analysis, told CNN Bussiness. Due to dwindling supply, “much higher prices are coming to supermarkets,” he warned. Last week, the US Agriculture Department issued a report about the state of Florida’s […]

By B.N. Frank Worldwide opposition to 5G and Internet of Things (IoT) technology has been ongoing for years due to various significant risks associated with it (see 1, 2).  In fact, aviation safety and other concerns have slowed and/or stopped deployment in some places already.  Since 2017 doctors and scientists have asked for moratoriums on Earth and in space (see 1, 2) and the majority of scientists oppose deployment.  Since 2018 there have been reports of people and animals experiencing symptoms and illnesses after it was activated (see 1, 2, 3, 4).  Some researchers suggest that 5G deployment may be contributing […]

Op-Ed by David Boyajian President Putin has been making some astonishing demands, including: NATO mustn’t admit additional countries near Russia, such as Ukraine and Georgia. NATO must cease military activity in non-NATO territories: Georgia, Ukraine, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and parts of eastern Europe. Yet, incredibly, Putin has himself been enabling a NATO member’s aggression bordering Russia. In 2020, the Kremlin embraced Turkey’s sending American-designed/equipped F-16s and Bayraktar drones containing NATO components into Azerbaijan. Turkey and Azerbaijan (“one nation, two states”) subsequently defeated the Armenian populated Artsakh Republic/Nagorno-Karabagh and Russia’s longtime ally, Armenia.  Israel backed Azerbaijan militarily. The brutal 44-day war […]

“Totalitarian paranoia runs deep in American society, and it now inhabits the highest levels of government.”—Professor Henry Giroux Once upon a time, there was a government so paranoid about its hold on power that it treated everyone and everything as a threat and a reason to expand its powers. Unfortunately, the citizens of this nation believed everything they were told by their government, and they suffered for it. When terrorists attacked the country, and the government passed massive laws aimed at paving the way for a surveillance state, the people believed it was done merely to keep them safe. The few […]

By Lily Zhou Restrictions including COVID-19 passes, mask mandates, and work-from-home requirements will be removed in England, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Wednesday. Johnson also suggested that self-isolation rules may also be thrown out at the end of March as the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic becomes endemic. Effective immediately, the UK government is no longer asking people to work from home.  The COVID pass mandate for nightclubs and large events won’t be renewed when it expires on Jan. 26. And from Thursday, indoor mask-wearing will no longer be compulsory anywhere in England. The requirement for secondary school pupils […]

By B.N.

By Tyler Durden Despite rising rates, weakening sentiment, and Omicron anxiety, Housing Starts and Building Permits unexpectedly surged in December. Starts jumped 1.4% MoM (vs expectations of 1.7% drop) and Permits soared 9.1% MoM (crushing expectations of a modest 0.8% drop)… This is the 3rd straight month of increasing starts and permits and the biggest monthly jump in building permits since July 2020. The total building permits for 2021 hit 1.873mm and starts rose to 1.702mm (the highest end of year print since 2006)… Multifamily permits jumped to 675K SAAR in Dec, up from 563K, and the highest on record.

By Jeff Thompson How do you know what to prep for unless you know what is going on? Should you live your life as an ostrich? One of the things that you may need to consider prepping for right now is the threat of having unemployment insurance money you received back in 2020 “clawed back” should the state deem that you were either ineligible for that money or received too much. Unnecessary worrying? Nope. It’s already happening. While there has been the threat of clawed back unemployment payments for over a year now, it seems that some states are now adding […]

By Ryan McMaken Last month, Colorado governor Jared Polis ended statewide mask mandates and social-distancing provisions, stating that “the emergency is over.” This, of course, does not mean Colorado is now laissez-faire in terms of covid. Public higher education institutions—thanks to Polis’ tacit approval—still have free rein in terms of imposing vaccine and mask mandates, and in forcing classes to “go online” whenever the college bureaucrats grow sufficiently alarmed about covid. Moreover, local officials were quick to react to the governor’s non-emergency by imposing a variety of mandates of their own. More than 80 percent of the state’s population still lives in […]

By B.N. Frank Businesses started replacing human jobs with Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and robotics years ago and this trend has only increased during the COVID Crisis (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).  Additionally, according to some experts, it now costs less to employ a robot.

By Jp Cortez Last year was a good year for state-level sound money legislation across the United States. 2022 could be even better.

By Michael Snyder The term “return to normal” is being thrown around a lot these days, but will things ever truly return to the way that they were before the pandemic came along?  I don’t think so.  From an economic standpoint, an extraordinary amount of lasting damage has been done over the past two years.  A seemingly endless list of major problems has thrown thousands upon thousands of critical supply chains into a complete and utter state of chaos, and this has resulted in some very painful shortages.  For quite a while, the mainstream media kept insisting that the shortages would […]

By Tyler Durden It appears that both Washington and Kiev are still convinced that Russia is preparing a military offensive against Ukraine to happen at some point by the close of January. Despite Western estimates echoed over the past couple months that some 100,000 Russian troops are currently near the border, Moscow has been vehement in its denial that it’s planning any kind of invasion. But Moscow is pointing the finger right back at NATO, with on Sunday Putin’s spokesman admitting Russian troops are on the border because it can no longer “tolerate” NATO’s own “gradual invasion” of Ukraine. Sunday comments by […]

I became a “Core Member” on November 6 and have been invited to help with the Pantry Project and the Flower Ag Bed this year. Both will provide me with a good introduction to gardening that will be valuable if I get my own plot next year. This is the first year the MVG Community Garden was designated by New York City as a drop-off site for Christmas trees. The garden received 112 trees and lots of wreaths on […]

By Peter Cordi Campus Reform spoke with students in California and New York who detailed their experiences on campus during the pandemic. The students criticized many restrictions including online instruction and mandatory masking. This month, college students across America are experiencing reversions to online learning and COVID-19 vaccine or booster mandates. But they are also dealing with surveillance testing and systems in place on campus. Campus Reform spoke to a number of students about their school’s COVID restrictions and health surveillance measures. Daniel Cona, a junior at College at Brockport, State University of New York (SUNY Brockport) told Campus Reform, “Having to submit […]

By Lipton Matthews When assailing global governance, pundits rarely comment on its impact on small countries. Yet the degree to which small countries are ignored by global institutions—like the G7, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank—helps to illustrate how institutions of global governance tend to primarily reflect the values of managerial elites from large and wealthy states. That is, global policies are earnestly tailored by rich states in the West in response to specific challenges. In Western countries leaders have expressed concern that major corporations use tax havens as a mechanism to lower their tax burden. Therefore, to rectify […]

By Jeff Thompson What happens next? This is the question you need to be asking yourself as you monitor the world around you, taking stock of what it is that you are seeing, and making logical deductions with the data you have coming in. What happens when the world around you is stating that it is alright to take away your children? What happens when it decides it is morally permissible to drag you from your home and take you away to a “designated facilit[y] or locations if they refuse to get” the jab? What happens when people believe you should […]

By Matt Agorist Though the fact checking madness began long before COVID-19, over the last two years, fact checking has seemingly been weaponized to defend the establishment’s narrative only. Challenge the status quo and you will be censored into oblivion by the system’s praetorian guard — never mind the fact that they have been wrong countless times. One of the most egregious “fact checks” happened recently after Pfizer’s CEO Albert Bourla made a statement during an interview with Yahoo Finance on January 10. Speaking in reference to the Omicron variant of COVID-19, Bourla said, “We know that the two doses of […]

By MassPrivateI A recent Boston Globe article claimed that an Appeals Court dealt a blow to the Boston Regional Intelligence Centers’ (BRIC) gang database by pointing out flaws to their point system. But a closer look at the ruling reveals a far more troubling issue with fusion centers and their ruling. Initially, the opening statement looks good… “Flaws in that database, including its reliance on an erratic point system built on unsubstantiated inferences, compel us to conclude that the credibility judgment — and, in turn, the rejection of Diaz Ortiz’s request for relief — is not supported by substantial evidence.” The […]

By B.N. Frank American opposition to 5G technology has been ongoing for years due to various significant risks associated with it including aviation safety.  In December 2021, AT&T and Verizon agreed to delay their 5G expansion until January 5 due to warnings (see 1, 2); however, airlines, the Federal Aviation Association (FAA), and transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg asked for more time.  The telecoms originally rejected their request but then agreed to delay the rollout until January 19 and also create 5G “buffer zones” at some (but not all) airports.  Due to lingering concerns, helicopter fleets may be grounded this week anyway.  […]

By Tyler Durden Apple is one of the first major corporations going on the record and telling its employees that it doesn’t just need to see proof of vaccination, but now it also needs proof of a booster shot. The company is requiring boosters for store and corporate employees, according to an internal email seen by The Verge. Employees have “four weeks to comply” once they become eligible for booster shots, or else they will have to take “frequent tests to enter a retail store, partner store, or Apple office starting on February 15th,” the report says. Unvaccinated employees must now always provide negative COVID-19 […]

By Caitlin Johnstone Seems like almost every day now the mass media are blaring about the need for speech on the internet to be controlled or restricted in some way. Today they’re running stories about Joe Rogan and Covid misinformation; tomorrow it will be something else. The reasons for the need to control online speech change from day to day, but the demand for that control remains a constant. Some days it’s a need to protect the citizenry from online disinformation campaigns by foreign governments. Sometimes it’s the need to guarantee election security. Sometimes it’s the need to eliminate domestic extremism […]

By B.N. Frank Tracking technology existed before Apple introduced its AirTags.  Of course tracking technology is often used in ways that are legal and responsible – but not always. From Digital Trends: Apple’s AirTags are too good at tracking — that’s a problem By Michael Allison January 17, 2022 9:00AM Apple’s AirTags may be pitched as tools of convenience, but they are turning into a tool for criminals as well. The company’s tracking tool, intended to be used to keep track of lost and stolen property, is paradoxically also a tool that enables theft of property and a potential threat against […]

By Neenah Payne Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky) has been grilling Dr. Anthony Fauci since May 2020 about the role of his agency, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), in funding “gain of function” research at the Wuhan Lab in China that led to the creation of the SARS-COV-2 virus which is responsible for COVID-19. Fauci has repeatedly maintained, under oath, that the NIH and NIAID did not fund gain of function research with the EcoHealth Alliance program. If Fauci lied before Congress, he is guilty of perjury which is punishable by a prison term of up to five years. Fauci […]

The federal government has spent an astounding $42,000 per federal taxpayer on so-called “stimulus” efforts since the pandemic began. Where did all that money go? Well, as it turns out, one of the biggest stimulus programs, the Paycheck Protection Program, failed miserably. At least, that’s the finding of a new study from MIT economist David Autor and nine coauthors. They examined the $800 billion Paycheck Protection Program, which gave “loans,” most of which won’t have to be paid back, to businesses. It was created by Republicans and Democrats in Congress alike in hopes of helping businesses preserve their employees’ jobs for […]

By Stefan Gleason Over the past year, the Federal Reserve Note “dollar” has been losing value at an alarming pace as reflected by broad price level increases. Last week’s Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index reports put those measures of inflation at 7.0% and 9.7%, respectively. Manufacturers had to bear the brunt of the inflation surge in 2021. The worst may be yet to come for consumers as producers pass on their costs to wholesalers and retailers. Some politicians, such as Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and others whose policy preferences are largely responsible for the inflation problem, have now taken […]

By Matt Agorist The publicly traded Gannett Co., Inc. (NYSE: GCI) is the largest newspaper publisher in the United States reaching over 173 million people monthly with hundreds of subsidiary outlets. These outlets give readers a sense of diversity, but in reality, they are all part of the same billion dollar media conglomerate. The USA Today network controls more than 260 daily local newspaper brands, digital marketing service companies ReachLocal, WordStream, and ThriveHive and U.K. media company Newsquest. This massive media conglomerate has no problem using its multiple news properties to create narratives to shift public opinion. In fact, last March, […]

By Aden Tate The supply chain crisis isn’t just coming, it’s already here. As Americans face empty shelves across the country, skyrocketing prices on everything, and a constant worker shortage, it’s impossible to ignore – the supply chain crunch is here. And it isn’t getting any better as a perfect storm gathers to decimate our inventory of goods. Consider this: China is the world’s biggest trading nation. Anything they do market-wise reverberates throughout the world. Who is America’s largest trade partner? China. What happens when China decides to shut down some of its ports? Americans feel the crunch. This is what has […]

By B.N. Frank Some people have already willingly had chips implanted in their bodies for the sake of convenience.  It may be possible very soon to also have chips implanted to human brains to alleviate mental health issues (see 1, 2) and perhaps other illnesses and/or injuries as well.  Recently, an expert on this topic published another article about the advantages and disadvantages of microchipping humans. From Gov Tech: Chip Implants: Opportunities, Concerns and What Could Be Next There were new developments in 2021 regarding implanting microchips into humans. So what plans were announced for 2022? And just as important, what […]

By Caitlin Johnstone In a drastic pivot from typical denunciations of false flag operations as conspiratorial nonsense that don’t exist outside the demented imagination of Alex Jones, the US political/media class is proclaiming with one voice that Russia is currently orchestrating just such an operation to justify an invasion of Ukraine. “As part of its plans, Russia is laying the groundwork to have the option of fabricating a pretext for invasion,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Friday. “We have information that indicates Russia has already pre-positioned a group of operatives to conduct a false flag operation in […]

By B.N. Frank Worldwide opposition to 5G and warnings about this controversial technology have slowed and/or stopped deployment in some places but not others.  Since 2017 doctors and scientists have asked for moratoriums on Earth and in space (see 1, 2) and the majority of scientists oppose deployment.  Since 2018 there have been reports of people and animals experiencing symptoms and illnesses after 5G was activated (see 1, 2, 3, 4) including in New York City.  Nevertheless, deployment has continued and later this week, AT&T and Verizon plan to activate more 5G throughout the U.S.  If you live in a community […]

By B.N. Frank Research has determined that using Virtual Reality (VR) headsets can cause behavioral changes, balance issues, cognitive problems, eye problems (soreness, vision changes), headaches, and other discomforts.  In fact, children absorb 2-5 times more harmful radiation than adults while wearing them! Last summer Facebook recalled millions of VR face liners due to skin irritation complaints.  Nevertheless, VR, AR (Augmented Reality), and now Mixed Reality (MR) headsets are increasingly being used for a variety of purposes including education (see 1, 2), medical treatments (see 1, 2, 3), and employee training (see 1, 2).  However, anyone eager to strap on Apple’s […]

By Matt Agorist Dayton, OH — As TFTP reported in September, Clifford Owensby of Dayton, Ohio learned the violent and oppressive lengths the American police state will go to enforce window tint extortion laws. Owensby, who had committed no crime, was targeted by police, assaulted, and then sent on his way because of the arbitrary darkness of his window tint. Days later, body camera footage was released released by police, showing just how brutal cops are willing to be over the darkness of a man’s windows — and skin too. Owensby filed a complaint with the Professional Standards Bureau of the […]

By Tyler Durden Labor shortages at supermarkets across the country have increased in recent weeks as the COVID-19 omicron variant continues to spread. Workers are calling out sick, and there are not enough cashiers, baggers, and stockers, forcing some supermarket chains to slash hours of operations. Compounding labor woes, supply chains are still severely snarled as food shortages are being reported nationwide. WSJ reports supermarkets are having difficulty staying open as workers call out sick because of infection. Some grocers are frantically hiring new employees, using temporary employment agencies, and overworking current staff to keep stores from shuttering. The seven-store supermarket chain […]

By Tyler Durden Now that the Supreme Court has blocked President Biden’s push to mandate vaccinations for all workers at companies with more than 100 workers, companies are finally backing away from the government’s edict. To wit, General Electric has just announced that it has abandoned its vaccine requirement. Are you listening, Wall Street bulge-bracket employers? https://t.co/J0A6LVq7YA — Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen_Poll) January 14, 2022 According to Bloomberg, the maker of jet engines, wind turbines and medical scanners confirmed the decision Friday via email.

By Aden Tate The US Army is about to run its final test for aspiring Green Berets this coming January 22, known as Robin Sage, an unconventional warfare exercise put on by the US Army Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC). This field training exercise is a 19-day test across approximately 50,000 acres of privately owned land throughout rural North Carolina in which Special Forces must wage a guerilla war against an illegitimate government to free the politically unstable region known as Pineland. The exercise runs four times every year, and the most recent exercise will last from January 22 to February […]

By Katabella Roberts Teachers across France staged a mass walkout this week in protest over the government’s ever-changing COVID-19 rules for those working in the education sector which they say fail to protect both staff and students. The French Ministry of Education estimated that around 31 percent of all school teachers across the country took part in the strike on Thursday, 38 percent of whom worked in primary schools and nearly 24 percent in secondary schools. A statement from the Mayor of Paris’ office said that in the capital city, roughly 58 percent of the teaching staff took part in the strike, and around 200 schools were forced to close, although trade […]

The TV program […]

By B.N. Frank In October 2021, President Biden signed a law to help “Havana Syndrome” victims.  Bizarrely enough, some media sources continue to describe it as a “mysterious” condition even though experts have been saying for years that it’s likely caused by exposure to electromagnetic radiation (see 1, 2, 3), though the exact source/s of radiation remain unknown. Nevertheless, symptoms are increasingly being reported (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), even delaying an overseas trip scheduled for Kamala Harris in August.  Earlier this week, Secretary of State, Antony Blinken issued a new a statement about how the Biden administration is […]

By Matt Agorist In November, the federal government passed a massive $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill and, like all bills drafted by the federal government, politicians snuck in countless items that had nothing to do with “infrastructure.” One of the insidious additions to the the bill makes it a felony if crypto traders don’t collect personal information on the hundreds or thousands of transactions they conduct every day. If infra bill passes: a short story Any American business: we received your payment of 0.243 bitcoin, thanks for your business!

By Neenah Payne Will Shocking Discovery End COVID Coup Now? points out Dr. Reiner Fuellmich is a German attorney who has been collaborating with an international network of lawyers for over a year to interview more than 100 experts from every field of science about COVID. They plan to sue the people behind the COVID Plandemic in a Nuremberg Trial 2.0. They claim to have conclusive evidence that the COVID “health” policies are the worst crimes against humanity ever committed. In the video below, they discuss the “smoking gun” that can remove all immunity from liability from drug companies and others involved […]

By Tyler Durden US Industrial Production was expected to slow its re-acceleration in December with a 0.2% MoM increase versus November’s 0.5% MoM rise, but things were notably worse with Industrial Production contracting by 0.1% MoM. Total US Industrial Production is hovering right above pre-COVID-Lockdown levels, well short of 2018’s record highs… Capacity Utilization dipped back lower, holding the pre-COVID-lockdown levels… It seems Omicron and inflation angst is slowing everything down… right as The Fed readies rate-hikes and QT?

By Matt Agorist Since before he was elected, president Joe Biden has promised more gun control, and he is doing everything in his power to keep this one promise — up to and including executive action — specifically targeting 3D printing of guns. Or, as Biden refers to them, Ghost Guns. The term “ghost gun” is meant to incite fear and is used by the anti-gun crowd as a slogan to sway the ignorant away from the fact that law-abiding citizens often customize their legal weapons with parts obtained online or manufactured in their homes. Some of the parts are drilled […]

By Peter Cordi Campus Reform revisited the money universities received in 2020 through the CARES Act. This legislation gave universities billions to help students directly and make campuses better equipped for the pandemic. In 2020, the federal government gave American colleges and universities approximately $14 billion in relief through the CARES Act. As part of the $2.2 trillion COVID-19 stimulus package, the CARES Act allocation mandated that approximately half its funds be used for emergency student aid. Now, nearly two years after President Donald Trump signed the CARES Act in March 2020, numerous institutions that received aid are delaying in-person learning […]

By Mike Gleason Another set of bombshell inflation reports rattled markets this week. On Wednesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released data showing consumer prices continue to rise at the fastest rate since 1982. The all-items index has risen 7% for the past 12 months ending in December. The energy index rose a staggering 29% over the last year. Then on Thursday, the Producer Price Index came in with another month of increase for December to close out the year. Overall, final demand prices rose 9.7% in 2021. That represents the largest calendar-year increase since the data series came out in […]

By Charles Hugh Smith This gives an extreme advantage to those few who move first, long before they must. The financial advantage for first movers is equally extreme. Moving is a difficult decision, so we hesitate. But when the window to do so closes, it’s too late. We always think we have all the time in the world to ponder, calculate and explore, and then things change and the options we once had are gone for good. Moving to a new locale is difficult for those of us who are well-established in the place we call home. Add in a house […]

By B.N. Frank Over the years, numerous lawsuits have been filed against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) including one by a group of telecom experts, “The Irregulators”.  According to the lawsuit, Americans have already paid for telecom-related services that many have still not received – including high-speed broadband via safer, more secure, and more reliable fiber optics to the premises (FTTP) and copper landline connections (see 1, 2).  The Irregulators have also proven that Americans have been overcharged for telecom-related services for decades and continue to be overcharged because the “powers-that-be” are allowing this to happen.  Thanks again to Irregulator Bruce […]

By Brandon Smith I don’t think I can overstate the danger that the U.S. economy is in right now as we enter 2022. While most people are caught up in the ongoing drama of Covid-19, a REAL threat looms over the nation in the form of a stagflationary tidal wave. The mainstream media is attempting to place the blame on “supply chain disruptions,” but this is a misrepresentation of the issue. The two factors are indeed intertwined, but the reality is that inflation is the cause of supply chain disruptions, not the result of supply chain disruptions. If we look at […]

By Tyler Durden While the consensus believed today’s US retail sales for December would come in with a modest 0.1% MoM drop to end 2021, BofA – which has been consistently spot on for months – forecast a much more substantial 1.3% tumble. In reality, things were even worse as Dec retail sales plunged 1.9% MoM (and November was revised weaker)… That is the biggest MoM drop since Feb 2021. Ex Autos and Gas, retail sales plunged an even more worrisome 2.5% MoM and worse still, the Control Group – which feeds GDP – crashed 3.1% MoM – massively worse than […]

Last week, the US Census Bureau released its “New Vintage 2021 Population Estimates” for the United States and surrounding territories. I’m always especially interested in net domestic immigration numbers, which reveal whether people are coming to a state or leaving it. These numbers are interesting because, taken as a whole, net migration patterns likely reveal changing preferences for different states. Although people have different preferences for things like weather and geography, it’s unlikely net immigration patterns are heavily influenced by these things when you compare one year to the next. Why? Well, things like weather and geography rarely change quickly. People […]
