Led by U.S. President Joe Biden, the Group of Seven (G-7) economic powers today announced plans to ban the transport of Russian oil sold above a certain price with the goal of hurting Russia enough so that it ends its war against Ukraine. "There is only one way out: for Putin to accept that his plans in Ukraine will not succeed," said German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The G-7’s plan is to impose a price cap on Russian oil through the regulation of petroleum shipping, banking, and insurance.The proposal is, in a word, ludicrous. Russian President Vladimir Putin would never agree...

Neil Oliver uses language to hack the great red pill vending machine and feed the masses. In his weekly monologue today, Oliver notes the great resetters, the alliance of multinational corporations and government leaders, are intent on using fear and finance to build the post-covid control mechanisms over the people within western society.Create massive costs, destabilize the people, manipulate the crisis and leave the common family left trying to figure out what is happening. Government and bankers using fear and finance respectively; both leveraged against the people, while drumbeating the continued nonsense of climate change and the need to ‘save...

The money being made by Big Pharma is an important part of the scheme, but it's important that more people recognize it's just a means to an end. The real goals are far more sinister. This will not be a well-received article. It will take many of my readers out of their comfort zone and place them squarely in a realm that most have chosen to ignore. Call it the world of "conspiracy theory" if that makes you feel better, but what I'm about to describe to you is a reality based on two years of watching, analyzing, discussing, and...

From South America’s avocado, corn and coffee farms to Southeast Asia’s plantations of coconuts and oil palms, high fertilizer prices are weighing on farmers across the developing world, making it much costlier to cultivate and forcing many to cut back on production. That means grocery bills could go up even more in 2022, following a year in which global food prices rose to decade highs. An uptick would exacerbate hunger—already acute in some parts of the world because of pandemic-linked job losses—and thwart efforts by politicians and central bankers to subdue inflation. “Farms are failing and many people are not...

Globalist elites have been denied their annual jolly to a Swiss ski resort for the second year in a row, as the World Economic Forum began its virtual meeting for the Davos Agenda on Monday. The virtual summit was kicked off on Monday by two key figures in how the Coronavirus pandemic shaped the world of 2022, with an address by Chinese dictator Xi Jinping, followed by a panel discussion featuring Dr Anthony Fauci.

Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” network contributor former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) praised President Joe Biden for his handling of the economy, which saw the consumer prices rising at their fastest rate in decades last month. As “Morning Joe” discussed an op-ed saying “competence” was hurting the Democratic Party more so than “wokeness,” McCaskill asserted that “Biden has done a great job on the economy with the asterisk around inflation.” She said if both gas prices and inflation go down, there would be “amazing job creation.

Governments and car manufacturers have coalesced at the Glasgow climate talks around new targets to drastically ramp up the use of electric vehicles. But activists at the summit have urged a more fundamental question – what if we just gave up all types of cars? With the new goal of phasing out new sales of gasoline and diesel cars within 20 years, dozens of countries and car companies have used Cop26 to extol the rise of electric vehicles as a way to slash planet-heating emissions. Related: Cop26: carmakers agree to end sale of fossil fuel vehicles by 2040 “This is...

Virginia gubernatorial candidate former Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) continued to evoke former President Donald Trump’s name on the eve of election day, saying it “would be great” to see him back on Twitter. McAuliffe told a CNN reporter that “from a political perspective” having Trump back on Twitter “would be great.” He added, “But, for the sake of the county, it is time to move on.” He noted that “fatigue and exhaustion from Trump” have been an issue for Democrats in the Virginia governor’s race.

A diner in DeBary, Florida, became popular overnight among residents after announcing they would no longer serve Biden supporters. They sold out of food the same day and temporarily closed. Angie Ugarte, the owner of the DeBary Diner, located just outside of Orlando, posted a provocative sign in the business's window. It read, "If you voted for and continue to support and stand behind the worthless, inept and corrupt administration currently inhabiting the White House that is complicit in the death of our servicemen and women in Afghanistan, please take your business elsewhere. God bless America, and God bless our...

The granddaughter of legendary jazz singer and civil rights activist Nina Simone is accusing Vice President Kamala Harris of stealing the family estate and giving it to “white people.” She claims that Harris “bullied” her mother in court to the point of near suicide. “Nina’s granddaughter here,” ReAnna Simone Kelly tweeted on Saturday after someone asked why a Twitter account was created for the late singer. “My family doesn’t run her estate anymore. It was taken away from us [and] given to white people. Our family name was DRAGGED in the media. We get NO royalties, nothing. Wanna hold someone...

During a March 2 news conference on the covid-19 pandemic, President Joe Biden claimed that former President Donald Trump’s administration did not ensure there would be enough vaccines for the American public.“When I came into office, the prior administration had contracted for not nearly enough vaccine to cover adults in America,” said Biden. Operation Warp Speed Contracts FDA’s ProcessAs part of Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration entered into contracts with multiple drugmakers. The contracts were generally signed while potential vaccines were still in clinical trials. Here’s what Trump contracts called for drugmakers to supply to the U.S. government:Pfizer-BioNTech: 100...

A golden statue of former President Trump was unveiled late Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Fla., quickly prompting ridicule from social media users, many of whom compared it to the Old Testament account of the Golden Calf. Video showed the statue being rolled out through hallways at the annual right-wing conference. The structure includes a golden figure of Trump wearing a suit jacket and red tie, paired with American-flag shorts and flip flops. Several people stopped to pose with the statue, with one woman saying, "Awesome," and another person commenting, "That is so cool." Another...

Global political elites like European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and former Secretary of State John Kerry view Democrat Joe Biden as a driver of World Economic Forum’s “The Great Reset” mission that seeks major transformation of the world’s economy. In a panel discussion by the World Economic Forum, Kerry said Biden is ready to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement — which threatens to eliminate more than a million American jobs — and be a driver of the”Great Reset” whereby unelected global bureaucrats are looking to alter the world’s economy by abolishing money, private property, and democracy for the...

I think it is safe to say that 2020, so far, has been a tumultuous year. I think it is also safe to say that many globalists view these tumultuous times as an opportunity to enact vast public policy changes that would upend the current world order. Exhibit A of my premise: The Great Reset. At this point, you may be thinking, “What is the Great Reset?” Well, where do we begin? For starters, let us venture to the origin of the Great Reset: The World Economic Forum (WEF). According to the WEF, “There is an urgent need for global...

Conservative activist group "Walk Away" organized a President Trump flotilla and demonstration. Anti-Trump demonstrators also showed up. We saw police officers detain a few people. Rally organizers blame liberals for violence and vandalism at recent protests. "We're here to say we do not give you permission to cause damage and destruction. We're taking our country back from the radical left," says Walk Away founder Brandon Straka.

President Donald Trump delivered his annual State of the Union, touting the burgeoning U.S. economy in a key moment just months away from the November election. “Three years ago, we launched the great American comeback. tonight, I stand before you to share the incredible results,” Trump said. “In just three short years, we have shattered the mentality of American decline and we have rejected the downsizing of America’s destiny” and the United States is “moving forward at a pace that was unimaginable just a short time ago, and we are never going back,” he added. Trump, speaking to both the...

Ronald Reagan famously warned that Medicare would lead us away from freedom and toward socialism. Barry Goldwater considered Jack Kennedy a socialist and called Lyndon Johnson one as well. America did not lapse into a collectivist dystopia with access to Medicare nor embark on the road to serfdom under the tenures of Kennedy and Johnson. Reagan’s fears and Goldwater’s fancies serve to remind us that “socialism” is in the eye of the beholder. The specter of “socialism” has served as a convenient bugaboo for the right to invoke whenever its interests are threatened by progressive legislation or liberal advocacy, a...

Tariffs are a popular remedy to maintain a favorable balance of trade and create domestic jobs. Some believe tariffs will foster a renaissance of American manufacturing, but let’s consider the facts. America has six million unfilled jobs, with almost every industry desperately trying to hire qualified personnel. Our trade surplus is widening as these trade wars progress, and international relations are very stressed. Free trade allows buyers and sellers to be winners and facilitates comparative advantage and the division of labor. For example, iPhones are designed and engineered in the United States, manufactured in China, and sold worldwide. China assembles...
