Perplexed In The Riddle
Knowing too much but
Able to do so little
Suspended on a crutch
Perplexed in the riddle
Don’t know the right road
But I know we’re on the wrong road
Oh I feel a heavy load
To stop the truth that’s been sold
Apathy in a stalemate
Killing on a corner
The powers that teach to hate
The words I write to warn yah

The Holocaust Reparations Programs Cast Doubt On The Holocaust
A participant in a recent discussion thread on Ron Unz’s website said that I had falsely claimed that it was easy for Jewish “Holocaust” survivors to get restitution. She also claimed that I had lied about the number of claims applied for by Jewish “Holocaust” survivors versus the number of claims paid. This article analyzes the reparations given to Jewish survivors of the so-called Holocaust. Jewish leader Chaim Weizmann in September 1945 sent a memorandum on behalf of the Zionist Jewish Agency to the governments of the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, and France demanding reparations, restitution, and indemnification from Germany owed to the Jewish people. The German government set up by the western Allies responded favorably to this demand. West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer declared to the Bundestag on September 27, 1951: The Federal government and the great majority of the German people are deeply aware of the immeasurable suffering endured by the Jews of Germany and by the Jews of the occupied territories during the period of National Socialism…In our name, unspeakable crimes have been committed and they demand restitution, both moral and material, for the persons and properties of the Jews who have been so seriously harmed…[1]

Ukraine Could Stage False Flag Operation On Nuclear Power Plant To Force Western Intervention
The Ukrainian military are storing Western weapons in nuclear power plants in the hope that Russia will strike them. However, as Russia is unlikely to make this mistake, it cannot be ruled out that Kiev will stage a false flag operation to force direct Western intervention and increase the supply of weapons. According to the director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergey Naryshkin, HIMARS missiles and other foreign air defence systems, as well as large-calibre artillery ammunition, are deployed at Ukrainian nuclear power plants. “There is credible information that Ukrainian troops are stockpiling the Western-supplied weapons and ammunition on the territory of nuclear power plants,” Naryshkin said, according to a statement on the intelligence service’s website. According to the intelligence chief, several cars loaded with “lethal cargo” were delivered by rail to the Rovno Nuclear Power Plant in western Ukraine during the last week of December alone. “They rely on the calculation that the Russian Armed Forces would not strike nuclear power plants because they realise the danger of a nuclear disaster,” Naryshkin said.

Russia, Syria Reopen Airbase After Providing It With AD Systems (Text and Video)
Years after recapturing the base from ISIS militants, Syrian and Russian officials hope to use the base to defend against Israeli air force attacks on the country’s north
Russia and Syria have restored the Al-Jarrah military airbase in northern Syria, Russia’s Defense Ministry announced on 23 January. The airbase, which had been destroyed during the Syria conflict, will now host both Russian and Syrian warplanes. Russian forces have also deployed Buk M2E and Pantsir S1 air defense systems inside the airbase, with the aim of defending Syria’s northern border and closing Syrian airspace to Israeli warplanes, which have regularly bombed Syria since 2013. The opening ceremony of the airbase was attended by the commander of the Russian armed forces in Syria, General Andrey Serdyukov, and the Syrian Minister of Defense, General Ali Mahmoud Abbas, in addition to military personnel and guests of honor from both countries.

swedish birthrate data: november update
rates remain severely depressed and the associations on cause are provocative
sweden’s birth rate data remains severely suppressed in a fashion unprecedented in the 25 years of data to which i have access. double digit percentage drops in natality constitute a severe demographic issue and one might think that such a jarring outcome might be eliciting widespread and urgent curiosity as to cause. yet oddly, it is not. i fear this may have to do with what looks to be the most plausible culprit. once more it would seem that health agencies are failing to look for that which they would be horrified to find.

3 Age-Reversing, Body-Regenerating Substances Backed By Science
Food is medicine. We know that already. But did you know it can also reverse your biological age and regenerate tissues in your body, therefore preventing you from needing to use medicine in the first place? Here are three common substances you probably didn’t know act like “elixirs of youth.”
Wasabi is an incredibly spicy and delicious part of the Japanese food experience. This preparation of Japanese horseradish is from the Brassicaceae family, along with broccoli and mustard greens. It has a wide range of health benefits, from anticancer properties to combatting infection, which you can learn more about on our wasabi research database. One of the least recognized, yet most promising, health properties of wasabi is its potenital ability to stimulate the regeneration of nerve tissue.

Excess Deaths In Wales Reach 34% And Other Covid News
Plus Boris comes back from Ukraine with a message
Week two in England and Wales saw excess deaths shoot up again. In England they were 18.8% higher and in Wales 28.7%. However, as I noted in a previous article, the ONS have started using figures from 2021 and 2022 to calculate their averages. As these were abnormal years this skews the numbers. Using the previous five year average (2015-2019) means excess deaths in England are 23% higher (3,047 deaths) and in Wales a whopping 34% higher (299 deaths). Overall, in the first two weeks of January, the UK has experience a 36% increase in excess deaths. This works out at approximately 25,000 excess deaths over the last quarter. Or 21 excess deaths every hour.

Davos’ Damndest Delusion: FBI As Good Guys?
You can judge an audience by how much bullshit they accept from the podium. By that standard, the World Economic Forum attendees in Davos, Switzerland last week were either depraved or craven. Why else would FBI chief Christopher Wray not get hooted down for portraying his agency as “good guys?” Why was the FBI boss even making an appearance at a conference chockful of political weasels, billionaires, and depraved activists like former Vice President Al Gore? Actually, Wray was part of a panel on national security that included luminaries such as Ukrainian Vice-Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, who could have offered insights from her government’s perpetual failed war against pervasive corruption. Wray boasted that “the level of collaboration between the private sector and the government, especially the FBI has, I think, made significant strides.”

Germany Greenlights Leopard Tanks For Ukraine (Text and Video)
Berlin has also confirmed it’s giving permission to other nations to provide German-made armor to Kiev
The German government has approved the supply of Leopard 2 main battle tanks to Ukraine, it announced on Wednesday. Both Germany and other European nations intend to deliver the heavy weapons systems to Kiev. “This decision follows our well-known line of supporting Ukraine to the best of our ability. We are acting in a closely coordinated manner internationally,” Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in a statement. The German armed forces will send 14 Leopard 2A6 tanks from its own stock, to “quickly” create two tank battalions in the Ukrainian army, the government said. The move opens the door for nations such as Poland to transfer German-made armor to Ukraine. Germany’s failure to promptly permit deliveries after other nations had announced their intentions to do supply Kiev with Leopard tanks exposed it to international criticism. Warsaw threatened to form a “smaller coalition” for would-be tank donors and hinted that it would do “the right thing” regardless of Berlin’s position.

James O’Keefe Confronts FBI Stenographer Adam Goldman (Text and Video)
The New York Times and Politico represent the best interests of the DOJ and FBI. The Washington Post represents the interests of the CIA and ODNI. CNN represents the interests of the U.S. State Dept. These are the public-private media partnerships that have evolved over decades, and the outcomes are consistent. Adam Goldman is a man of notoriously slimy disposition, who operates as a New York Times stenographer for the administrative state. Goldman loves to see the targeting of Americans by the DOJ and FBI apparatus and is intoxicated by his perceived assistance in the destruction of others. Goldman genuinely gets pleasure in seeing his targets suffer under the weight of the U.S. justice system. It brings him joy. After Adam Goldman and the DOJ/FBI worked together in the operation to target James O’Keefe (Ashley Biden diary), O’Keefe is dragging the relationship out into the open. Goldman does not like it when the tables are turned, and he becomes the target of sunlight.

A Fifth Stash Of Classified Docs Leaves Biden With Few Credible Defenses To Chargeable Crimes
The FBI search of President Joe Biden’s home and discovery of more classified material deepened the seriousness of his secret documents controversy and worsened the political fallout over the weekend, and things are going to get even worse, according to many people who have been following the story. CNN reported that Biden’s personal lawyers argued that Friday’s search underscored his cooperation with a special counsel’s investigation – implicitly distinguishing him from the behavior of ex-President Donald Trump in his own classified documents scandal, which is a ridiculous point of view denying the seriousness of the situation. Even the Democrats in office can’t honestly defend Biden.

Hardly Anyone Is Thinking Logically About The Risk Of Nuclear War
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has moved its symbolic Doomsday Clock to ninety seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been set since its founding after the second world war. Chief among their reasons for doing so is the increasingly dangerous war in Ukraine. A statement authored by the Bulletin’s editor John Mecklin is as biased against Russia as any mainstream western punditry today and makes no mention of the US empire’s role in provoking, prolonging and benefiting from this conflict, yet it still provides a fairly reasonable appraisal of the magnitude of the threat we’re staring down the barrel of at this point in history:

The Unvaccinated Have Blood On Their Hands (Text and Video)
Is this how the narrative will shift?
I’m constantly trying to work out how the narrative will shift if the link between vaccines and excess deaths is proven so much so that it cannot be ignored by the masses. That shift is already starting to happen with big names such as “Dillbert” creator, Scott Adams, admitting that “anti-vaxxers” were right. In his recent YouTube rant, Scott wrongly calls the mRNA vaccine hesitant “anti-vaxxers” but says that they won. Natural immunity and no vaccination in you is the winning path, he said. “The smartest, happiest people are the ones who didn’t get the vaccination, and they’re still alive.”

Bad Half-Moon Rising
What are the odds that within 72 hours two elderly Asian men, Huu Can Tran, 72, would kill eleven mostly fellow Asian people on Saturday on the 34th degree of north parallel latitude in in Monterey Park, California, and then on Monday, 380 miles north, a Chinese man, Zhao Chunli, age 66, murders seven people at locations near Highway 92 in the vicinity of Half Moon Bay, on the 37th degree of latitude, some of them said to be Hispanic farm workers? What are the odds? One in a million? We don’t believe in coincidences. It has been alleged that Huu Can Tran killed himself and that Zhao Chunli made himself available for apprehension. It’s too early (January 24) to offer an informed opinion on a motive for either massacre.

Big Banks Plot Digital Wallets For 2023 Release
The push towards a digital economy.
Big Banks in the US, including JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America are planning to launch a digital wallet to compete with PayPal and Apple Pay. The move, planned for the second half of this year, appears to be yet another push for a cashless society. According to the Wall Street Journal, the new digital wallet will be managed by bank-owned Early Warning Services LLC (EWS), the company behind money transfer platform Zelle. The new digital wallet would allow consumers to pay merchants online through linked credit and debit cards.

Evidence Says Offshore Wind Development Is Killing Lots Of Whales
There is some seriously misleading jargon here. IHA’s are incidental to some other activity, in this case offshore wind development. They are not incidental to the whales. In fact the term “harassment” specifically includes injuring the whales. That is called “level A harassment”. To date NOAA has issued an astounding 46 one-year IHA’s for offshore wind sites. Site characterization typically includes the protracted use of what I call “machine gun sonar”. This shipboard device emits an incredibly loud noise several times a second, often for hours at a time, as the ship slowly maps the sea floor. Mapping often takes many days to complete. A blaster can log hundreds of miles surveying a 10-by-10 mile site. Each IHA is typically for an entire year.

Professor Byram Bridle: “No Evidence Of Any Vax Benefit” (Text and Video)
I interviewed virologist Professor Byram Bridle. He points out that there is no evidence of benefit. If anything, all the evidence shows the vaccines INCREASE risk of infection, hospitalization, death
According to Professor Bridle, at best, there are no benefits for the COVID vaccines. But the data shows they make the problem worse in every metric: infections, hospitalizations, and deaths. You’ve been completely misled by the medical community about these vaccines. There isn’t a single “expert” in the world who is willing to show Professor Bridle that he got it wrong.

Ukraine War’s First Anniversary And Beyond
The first anniversary of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine falls on February 24. The Russian strategy of attrition war has not yet produced the desired political outcome but has been a success nonetheless. The delusional “westernist” notions of the Moscow elite that Russia can be a dialogue partner of the West have dissipated thoroughly, with ex-German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s stunning disclosure recently that the West’s negotiations with Russia regarding the Minsk Agreement were an “attempt to give Ukraine time” and that Kiev had used it “to become stronger.” Moscow reacted with bitterness and a sense of humiliation that the Russian ruling elite were taken for a ride. This awareness impacts the Ukraine conflict as it enters the second year. Thus, the annexation of the four regions of Ukraine — Donetsk and Lugansk [Donbass], Zaporozhye, Kherson oblasts — and Crimea, accounting for around one-fifth of Ukrainian territory, is a fait accompli now, and Kiev’s recognition of it is a pre-requisite for any future peace talks.

US ‘Not Prepared’ for War With China, Claims Think Tank Funded By Arms Industry
Surprise! One of the military-industrial complex’s favorite think tanks is once again calling to ramp up weapons production. The US has so thoroughly depleted its military supply reserves that it’s “not adequately prepared” for a long-term war with China, a leading American military-industrial complex think tank claimed Monday. A war games simulation conducted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) reportedly found that the US would be likely to deplete its supply of long-range, precision-guided missiles in under a week of “protracted conventional war” against China in the Taiwan Strait. The study claims the Biden administration’s insistence on sending over 8,500 Javelin missile systems and at least 1,600 Stinger missile systems to Ukraine means the US military’s inventory is now running low.

EU’s Financial Support For Ukraine Now Just Shy Of €50 billion
Ukrainian officials took part in a meeting of EU foreign affairs ministers on Monday via video link. An additional €500m military aid package for Kiev was confirmed, but the EU is at pains to point out that’s just a drop in the ocean compared to what the bloc has already provided since last March.
Just a few days ago in the European Parliament, the strategy was condemned. Workers have taken to the streets of Brussels to demand peace negotiations. EU foreign ministers adopted a fresh round of sanctions against Iran on Monday over alleged human rights abuses. The grounds for such sanctions are vehemently rejected by Tehran. Critics say the West’s policy towards Russia and Iran is being driven by Washington.

‘Dishonest To The Point Of Misinformation’: Federal Reserve Dragged For Odd Defense Spending Graph
After the St. Louis Federal Reserve tweeted out a highly misleading line graph of several nations’ defense expenditures on Monday, users highlighted its ham-fisted and deceptive nature with both humor and facts. The tweet linked to a January 3 article about the patterns of defense spending around the world in light of the conflict in Ukraine, highlighting the steady and rapid increase of China’s military budget since the early 1990s. However, the graph accompanying it, which was included in the tweet, has been modified in an unconventional way: while the spending by five of the nations is measured on the Y-axis on the left side of the graph, as is traditionally the case, for the line representing the United States, the Fed used a bizarre separate Y-axis on the right side of the graph. As a result, at a glance it seems China’s spending has rocketed far above every other nation’s, including the United States’, when in fact it remains barely one-third of the amount.

Is That A Cricket In My Bread?
EU bureaucrats want to add crushed cricket flour to bread.
I was walking through the Doge’s Palace in Venice this weekend when I came across a darkly mesmerising painting of hell. The Inferno by Herri met de Bles is an arresting painting. His depiction of hell shows suffering lost souls by imaginatively tortured by devils, flames and monstrous chimeras. It is intended to warn the viewer of moral transgressions – sin and you could end up here! It also contained lots of insects. Worms, moths, beetles, flies, centipedes, spidery half-breeds, and unidentifiable shiver-inducing creepy crawlies. Let’s think about why insects are in a painting of hell. Is it unfair upon these humble earthy creatures? They are part of the whole ecosystem and serve their purposes, yet we tend to think of them as uninvited guests upon our bodies, our animals and in our homes. Insects eat rotten flesh, slurry and trash. They swarm, scurry, scuttle, pester, bother and itch. They carry diseases and bacteria. We associate insects with a dank prison, not a palace. They occupy the hell of our imagination, not heaven.

The US/UK Are Hindering The Peace Effort In Yemen Despite Hopeful Saudi Comments
Despite the hopeful comments of Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, at a World Economic Forum panel in Davos, the war in Yemen threatens to explode with violence at any moment after a long pause in hostilities. At the centre of prolonging the conflict are Britain and the US, both of which continue to back non-starter positions in backchannel talks to reach a new ceasefire.
Last April the United Nations managed to broker a temporary truce agreement, which was prolonged until October. Since this time, threats of renewed aerial bombardments from the Saudi-led coalition, as well as drone and ballistic missile strikes against Saudi and the UAE have loomed. Yemen’s eight-year-long conflict has resulted in one of the worst, if not the single worst, humanitarian crisis in modern history, also causing the deaths of around 400,000 people in Yemen.

35,702 Vaccine Deaths In VAERS Since 1990 – 32,052 Of Those Deaths Followed COVID Shots In Last 2 Years
A search of all recorded deaths following vaccines in the U.S. Government’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) for the past 32 years, starting in 1990 when the VAERS database was setup, shows 35,702 deaths for those 32 years, with 90% of those deaths, 32,052, occurring in the past 2 years following the emergency use authorized (EUA) COVID-19 “vaccines.” This is a human tragedy of unprecedented magnitude. How has the FDA responded to these statistics which clearly show how deadly the EUA COVID shots have been? Today, they recommended that all Americans be injected with COVID shots every year.

The Debt Ceiling Debacle…
… is a sham battle, like “The Science” on climate, everlasting gov giveaways and so much more…
The fight over the debt ceiling increase is a sham battle. Both sides fire blanks. Both vow to fight to the last man to get what they want. And in the end, both agree that what they need is more money to spend. Yes, the decline of the US empire happens with the advice and consent of both parties. Republicans and Democrats pretend to be fierce competitors. But the typical member of congress has much less in common with his own voters than with his fellows in the Capitol – even those in the opposite camp. They all live in the same area. They earn the same amount of money – enhanced by the same slimy contributions from the industries they regulate. And they all have the same interest in seeing the flow of money from the public to the elite deciders continue without interruption.

Batch Of Classified Documents Found On Walmart Clearance Shelf
SMYRNA, DE — Biden is once again embroiled in scandal after yet another box of his classified documents was found on the clearance shelf of a local Walmart. The top secret documents were seen next to a $1 clearance bin filled with DVDs of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s documentary on the Green New Deal. “The investigation into President Biden’s misplacement of classified documents has reached a tipping point in which our agency is unable to cover for him by blaming Trump,” said FBI spokesman Herf Derfler while agents hauled off boxes of classified documents from the location.

Number Of Western Firms Which Left Russia Revealed
The study focused on companies that have given up their equity stake or sold at least one subsidiary
Less than 9% of companies from the EU and G7 countries that owned subsidiaries in Russia have left the country since the introduction of sanctions last year, research by economists from Switzerland’s University of St. Gallen has found. The study, based on information from OBRIS, a global database containing information on millions of companies, showed that 36,000 international companies, including 3,444 subsidiaries of foreign entities, were operating in Russia as of April 2022, with a total of 2,405 subsidiaries owned by 1,404 EU and G7 companies. The researchers then checked how many of these companies had given up their stakes or sold their branches and concluded that of the 1,404 companies, only 120 (8.5%) did so. The authors of the report noted that they only focused on companies that withdrew their equity stakes and did not look at other commercial ties, such as exports, licensing, and franchising. They found that at the end of November 2022 “8.5% of EU and G7 companies had divested at least one of their Russian subsidiaries.”

Central Bank Digital Currencies
Banksters plan to make digital money expire if they are not spent
The globalist plan is that, instead of using fiat currencies, paper money and coins, all governments would issue a credit-based system whereby balances and all transactions are recorded digitally. Once paper money and coins disappear from circulation, no new money will be printed or issued. The immediate problem with such entirely digital transactions is that the banksters plan to make digital money expire if they are not spent. Additionally, the government will control everything you spend and will approve or disapprove your spending if they deem it helpful or harmful to your health, you are spending it on things not approved by a bureaucratic entity, and balances and expenditures will be tied to social credit scores based on the Chinese Communist Party model. The primary reason for such a centralized digital system is power and total government control over the lives and activities of all citizens on the planet. Citizens would become totally dependent for their existence on a government who can and will take things away at whim if one does not behave appropriately.

Dr.Yeadon: It Just Gets Worse. Now We Learn That The U.K. Medicines Regulator, The MHRA, Did Not Authorise C19 Vaccines
Please share this breaking news with friends and neighbours who might still be labouring under the misapprehension that experienced medicines regulators did the work.
It just gets worse. Now we learn that the much vaunted U.K. medicines regulator, the MHRA, did not, after all, authorise or apply the c19 vaccines. They just pretended they did and proudly announced they were the first in the world to do so. But based upon the claim that this thorough regulatory agency had gone through all the data and declared it safe and effective, numerous other countries regulators rubber stamped those same products, sometimes without actually reviewing the data at all. I believe that’s the case for the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration. Just as in the US, where drug companies pretended to file a dossier and the FDA pretended to review it, the authorisation permitting injection of tens of millions of people was made by a POLITICIAN. I assume they mean Matt Hancock, the then Health Secretary in the U.K. Government. In the US, it was the Health and Human Services secretary, all on his own and entirely under his discretion. I can hardly believe what I’m writing.

“Chinese Aggression” Sure Looks An Awful Lot Like US Aggression
Punchbowl News reports that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is planning a trip to Taiwan, which will be yet another incendiary provocation against Beijing if it occurs. The previous House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, sparked a significant escalation in hostilities with her visit last year, the consequences of which are still reverberating today. Antiwar’s Dave DeCamp explains: Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan was viewed in Beijing as a major provocation, and it sparked the largest-ever Chinese military drills around the island. The exercises included China firing missiles over Taiwan and simulating a blockade of the island, both unprecedented actions. China has kept up the military pressure on Taiwan since Pelosi’s visit, and its warplanes regularly now cross the median line, an informal barrier that divides the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Before Pelosi’s trip, China barely crossed the line. Now, it’s an almost-daily occurrence. Beijing views the US House speaker visiting Taiwan as an affront to the one-China policy and the understanding the US and China reached in 1979, when Washington severed formal relations with Taipei.

Epstein-Linked Former Israeli PM’s Company Can Alter Cctv Footage
Tel Aviv-based newspaper Haaretz has revealed how Toka, a company founded by the former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak and the Israeli military’s cyber chief Yaron Rosen, has mastered terrifying technology capable of locating security cameras or webcams, hacking into them, monitoring their live feeds, and altering them without a trace. Regulated by the Israeli ministry for military affairs, Toka has offices in Tel Aviv and Washington and works – currently at least – purely with state-level clients, including law enforcement and intelligence agencies. The company has contracts with Tel Aviv alone valued at $6 million and is seeking to expand its operations further. According to a company pitch deck obtained by Haaretz, Toka offers what it calls “previously out-of-reach capabilities” that “transform untapped IoT [Internet-of-Things] sensors into intelligence sources,” and can be used “for intelligence and operational needs.”

Ukraine Poll Says 60% Of Citizens Feel Solidarity With Israel Against Palestinians
A majority of Ukrainians — 60 per cent — say that they feel solidarity with Israelis when they attacked by Palestinians, compared with only one per cent who feel solidarity with the Palestinians, a new poll has revealed. The poll was conducted earlier this month by the Institute of Sociology in Kyiv at the request of the Israeli Embassy in Ukraine. It also showed that 64 per cent of Ukrainians support Israel in its conflict with Iran. Less than one per cent of respondents support Tehran. With 53 per cent of Ukrainians believing that Israel is an ally, only 12 per cent believe otherwise. However, 43 per cent of respondents expressed their dissatisfaction with Tel Aviv’s refusal to support their country militarily in its war against Russia; although they understood its reasons. An overwhelming majority, 87 per cent, believe that Israeli technology will help rebuild their country in the post-war reconstruction process.

Why Large And Highly Effective Organizations Are Inclined To Tyranny
The arrogance and smugness that arise from exercising power over multiple jurisdictions.
Tucker Carlson recently produced an episode on the Masters of the Universe who recently congregated in Davos for their annual conference to discuss how they are going to save mankind and planet earth from mankind. Carlson and others pointed out that none of the purported leaders who gathered at the globalist summit seem very impressive or competent. Moreover, many of their idealistic schemes for improving the world are laughably sophomoric, based on hypothetical models that fail to address complex reality. Throughout history, many observers have marveled at how immensely powerful states and institutions are, as they mature, often led by smug and arrogant men whose personal abilities are not commensurate with the great power they hold. Why is that? A likely explanation is the extreme effectiveness of organizations. A stupid and corrupt mediocrity at the helm of a powerful organization will always be more effective than a talented individual operating in the world by himself.

Growing Number Of High School Students Changing Their Gender Without Parents Consent
Jessica Bradshaw found out that her 15-year-old identified as transgender at school after she glimpsed a homework assignment with an unfamiliar name scrawled at the top. When she asked about the name, the teenager acknowledged that, at his request, teachers and administrators at his high school in Southern California had for six months been letting him use the boy’s bathroom and calling him by male pronouns. Mrs. Bradshaw was confused: Didn’t the school need her permission, or at least need to tell her? It did not, a counselor later explained, because the student did not want his parents to know. District and state policies instructed the school to respect his wishes. “There was never any word from anyone to let us know that on paper, and in the classroom, our daughter was our son,” Mrs. Bradshaw said. The Bradshaws have been startled to find themselves at odds with the school over their right to know about, and weigh in on, such a major development in their child’s life — a dispute that illustrates how school districts, which have long been a battleground in cultural conflicts over gender and sexuality, are now facing wrenching new tensions over how to accommodate transgender children.

Ukraine Storing Weapons At Nuclear Plants – Russia
Kiev is using the facilities as cover for stockpiles of Western-made munitions, Moscow’s foreign intelligence chief says
Ukrainian forces are storing Western-supplied missiles and artillery shells in nuclear power plants, Russian Foreign Intelligence Service Director Sergey Naryshkin said on Monday. He claimed that Kiev has been using the plants as cover for ammunition stockpiles. “There is credible information that Ukrainian troops are stockpiling the Western-supplied weapons and ammunition on the territory of nuclear power plants,” Naryshkin said, according to a statement on the intelligence service’s website. He added that the armaments include rockets for US-made HIMARS launchers and missiles used by foreign air defense systems, as well as “large-caliber artillery shells.” According to Naryshkin, several cars loaded with “lethal cargo” were delivered by rail to the Rovno Nuclear Power Plant in western Ukraine during the last week of December alone. “They rely on the calculation that the Russian Armed Forces would not strike nuclear power plants because they realize the danger of a nuclear disaster,” the intelligence chief said.

Western Culture On A Path To Racial Extinction
Deputy IRGC Commander-in-Chief for Coordination General Mohammad-Reza Naghdi said in a March 31, 2022 interview (Ofogh TV Iran) that Europeans are losing their national identity and are headed for extinction due to the negative population growth in Europe. He said that Western countries preach to other societies how they should conduct themselves, yet Westerners are not getting married or having children. As a result, he said, the West is headed towards extinction and is forced to ‘import’ populations from Africa and other parts of the world. Naghdi gave the example of France’s national soccer and basketball teams, which he said comprised mostly of Africans. He predicted that in a few years, the European race will exist only in museums and that if the African immigrants to Europe embrace the Western lifestyle, they too will be headed for extinction.

Original Antigenic Sin Hits The Mainstream
WSJ catching up again
One of the first things I wrote about on Substack, in December 2021, was Original Antigenic Sin (OAS). The article titled “The New Normal – Pandemics of the Vaccinated? Are we beginning to see further evidence of ADE or OAS occurring in the UK data?” did exactly what is says on the tin, explored whether OAS was being seen in the UK data. I can’t remember how long I had been talking about it before then but it was at least six months. Now, almost two years since I first started reading about the phenomenon, it seems the concept is acceptable enough to enter mainstream consciousness. The Overton window of discourse has shifted. But three scientific problems have arisen. First, the virus is evolving much faster than the vaccines can be updated. Second, vaccines have hard-wired our immune systems to respond to the original Wuhan strain, so we churn out fewer antibodies that neutralize variants targeted by updated vaccines. Third, antibodies rapidly wane after a few months.

Top FBI ‘Russiagate’ Official Arrested For Colluding With Russian Oligarch: DOJ
People are connecting dots all over the place, and it’s looking more like a hornet’s nest was just kicked open. A former top FBI counterintelligence official – in fact, the guy who received the tip that supposedly kicked off the Trump-Russia investigation – has been arrested and charged with violating US sanctions on Russia by taking secret payments from a Russian oligarch in order to investigate another oligarch. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan charged Charles McGonigal, former special agent in charge of the FBI’s New York counterintelligence desk, with taking secret payments from Oleg V. Deripaska – which violated US sanctions by agreeing to help the Russian billionaire, who himself was indicted last year on sanctions charges. McGonical notably retired in 2018.

rationalizing rationality
pressure is a second selector and ability to deal with it is orthogonal to intelligence
there’s a funny thing about “smart” and “rational.” sure, both are good things, but it’s also worth remembering that both can be deeply misleading predictors of how one will perform in a crisis. each may well be a useful form of assessment and integral to problem solving, but under duress, the question changes dramatically. “how rational can you remain while being stood on your head and spun around while direct fear impulses are applied to your amygdala?” this is the test so many “smart” people failed. “scared witless” is a phrase for a reason. fear and panic, yours and others, change everything. fear alone is enough to shut down rational faculties. group level panic and the social pressures of herd following behaviors blow this into the stratosphere. suddenly, no matter how smart you were 5 minutes ago, you’re now a blithering idiot. suddenly, no matter how independent you thought you were, the lightning flashes, the sky tears open in thunder, and before you know it you’re just another panicked sheep in the herd stampeded by the storm.

US Army Faces Worst Recruiting Numbers Since End Of Draft Era, Offers Medals And Promotions For Referrals
mRNA mandate and woke agenda prompts immense crisis.
The United States Army is facing its worst recruiting environment since 1973, when the conscription era ended and the current all-volunteer force was formed. The Dossier is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. In an email sent out to service members on Monday, the Army’s recruiting office made it clear that the military is in atrocious shape, facing “the most challenging recruiting environment since the establishment of our All Volunteer Force In 1973.” Additionally, the Pentagon is now offering “Army Recruiting Ribbons” and promotion points to service members who successfully recruit enlistees. Last month, the Pentagon finally stood down on its disastrous mRNA mandate, which harmed readiness, injured countless service members, and became a primary driver for the recruiting crisis. Moreover, the Pentagon revealed that there were no plans to reinstate the 8,000+ service members who objected to and faced discharge over the unlawful mandate.

The Truth Behind The Lies
I have been attacked, libelled, lied about, patronised, banned, threatened and shadow banned for the last three years. Mainstream media, including the BBC, of course, joined with online trolls and professionals from the CIA to spread abuse. Some of the abuse has been vile, some has been bizarre and much has been designed simply to be damaging and designed to destroy my credibility. It has been created deliberately and mercilessly to destroy my reputation and to try to ensure that people take no notice of what I say. The aim was also to impoverish me by hiding my books, attacking them and me and thereby deliberately damaging my book sales so that I cannot afford to continue to fight – e.g. operate my websites. The lies have, as planned, had a profound effect. I tried to sue some of those responsible for the most egregious libels. Four lawyers refused to help me because they disapprove of what I’ve said about covid. (One solicitor offered to give me the name of a barrister – with no guarantee that they’d help – if I paid her £1,000.) My name has become as bad as Dr Mudd’s and, as you can probably imagine, life has, in many ways, become intolerable for both of us. All for the crime of telling – and proving – the truth.

Russia And West On Verge Of ‘Real War’ – Lavrov (Text and Video)
Moscow’s adversaries have long aimed to destroy everything Russian, the FM has said\
The current situation in Ukraine demonstrates that the conflict between Russia and the West can no longer be defined as a “hybrid war” but is instead approaching becoming a real one, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday. Speaking at a press conference following a meeting with his South African counterpart, Naledi Pandor, Lavrov also noted that this “almost real” war was something that the West “has been preparing for a long time against Russia.” The minister claimed that Western powers are seeking to destroy everything Russian, from the language to the culture that had existed in Ukraine for centuries, even forbidding people from speaking their native language. Lavrov went on to point out that such practices have become commonplace throughout Ukraine and that the country’s last two presidents, Pyotr Poroshenko and current leader Vladimir Zelensky, have both turned into “presidents of war” and “Russophobic leaders” after gaining power, despite running their presidential campaigns on the promise of establishing peace. The minister also recalled that Ukraine has adopted laws that prohibit using the Russian language in education, media, and even in everyday life. “And this is all supported by the West,” Lavrov said, adding that this support extends to neo-Nazi marches with swastikas and symbols of banned Nazi divisions being held across the country.

What Does This Look Like 10 Years From Now?
The national debt is so big that, this fiscal year, the Treasury Department will spend close to $1 TRILLION just to pay INTEREST.
This is happening at a time when:
1) Interest rates are rising (which means that the government’s annual interest bill will increase)
2) The economy is slowing (so tax revenues will decrease)
3) Government spending is still outrageous, with a $1+ trillion deficit expected this fiscal year
This is a pretty disastrous scenario. And if you plot this trend line starting from where we are today, it’s easy to imagine what might happen over the next decade. If deficits are already $1 trillion per year right now, how high will they be in a decade? If the national debt is $31.5 trillion today– roughly 120% of US GDP– how high will it be a decade from now?

Tens Of Thousands Demand End To All Abortion At First March For Life Since Fall Of Roe (Text and Video)
Heartened by last year’s historic victory, pro-lifers march to now demand full protection for the preborn.
At least tens of thousands of pro-lifers braved the cold today to march to the U.S. Capitol building for the 50th annual March for Life, for the first time celebrating the fall of Roe v. Wade instead of having to again demand it be overturned. As the first national March to occur since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe in 2023’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the theme this year is “Next Steps: Marching into a Post-Roe America.” As such the path concluded not at the Supreme Court building but at the Capitol, where legislative battles will continue over taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood, Democrat efforts to codify a “right” to abortion, federal protections for the preborn, and more.

US Crossing Red Lines By Threatening Other Countries Not To Work With Russia – Lavrov
In summer 2022, Sergey Lavrov conducted a major African tour, visiting the Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Ethiopia and Egypt. In September 2022, he also held talks with South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has begun his visit to South Africa, which is this year’s BRICS host country, thus starting his African tour, the foreign ministry has announced. It is expected that talks will involve relations between Russia and South Africa, as well as the agenda for the BRICS [Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa] blox. Africa’s most industrialized country added the “S” to BRIC in 2010. This year, South Africa will host the organization’s events, which will take place in person for the first time since 2019.

Multiple Drone Attack Hits US Base In Southern Syria
No American casualties, but two US-allied fighters were wounded
A US military base in southern Syria was targeted in a drone attack on Friday that wounded two members of a US-backed militia. US Central Command said the base at Al-Tanf was attacked by three “one-way attack drones.” CENTCOM said two of the drones were shot down, but one hit the compound, injuring two members of the Syrian Free Army, a group the US backed in its failed regime change effort against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. CENTCOM said the two fighters received medical treatment and that no US forces were hurt. No group has taken credit for the attack, and it’s not clear who’s responsible. The incident marks the second attack on a base housing US forces in Syria this month.

The US Holds Iraq Hostage With The Dollar
Since 2003, Iraq is required to send all its oil revenues to a single US bank account. Washington is now weaponizing Baghdad’s own dollars against Iraq, by devaluing its currency and hindering payments.
In an effort to combat rampant corruption in Iraq, the US has implemented several strict measures, including sanctions on Iraqi banks and the rationing of dollars. Rather than dissuade smuggling and fraud, the measures are only exacerbating Iraq’s economic crisis. With every fluctuation in the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar, the political and social situation in the country becomes increasingly complex. The same country that managed to beat back ISIS and color revolutions, today is witnessing turmoil caused by the US. The US Federal Reserve has imposed strict measures on Iraqi banks under the pretexts of preventing smuggling and money laundering. This prompted the US Treasury Department to ration the dollar payments to Baghdad from Iraq’s own oil revenues, causing the Iraqi national currency to decline from 1,460 (the official rate) to 1,640 dinars overnight.
