Read or Condemn Yourself to Death by Ignorance

For those courageous souls brave enough to look and see what is,

who are unwilling to blindly accept

the lies and rules of tyrannical authority.

The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie.

One word of truth outweighs a world of lies.

-----

If perchance a post of mine you think extreme

heed this from Kahlil Gibran:

“In battling evil, excess is good;

for he who is moderate in announcing the truth is presenting half-truth.

He conceals the other half out of fear of the people’s wrath.”

-----

One of my goals is to think and act as if I fear no man’s wrath or deed.

How to steal billions from the US taxpayer and fund Democrat election campaigns on the pretext of helping Ukraine.

While many analysts and economists will be talking for months about the epic downfall of crypto-exchange company FTX and its founder Sam Bankman-Fried, their focus will be primarily on the billions lost, the mismanagement of funds, the fraud inherent in yield farming and the alleged betrayal of investor trust. This is a tale as old as time and not anything surprising. What many in the mainstream are missing, though, is Fried’s attachments to the World Economic Foundation, various global elitists and his avid sermonizing of the tenets of “effective altruism”, which are nearly identical to the tenets of Klaus Schwab’s Stakeholder Capitalism agenda. The WEF lists FTX as a corporate “partner” and participant, which means the company must meet the globalist organization’s standards for Stakeholder Capitalism, a socialist economic model which deconstructs the Adam Smith and Milton Friedman free market foundation.

Truth or Lie?
 
 
 
 

One day, a woman named Truth and a woman named Lie stood by a river just outside of town. They were twin sisters. Lie challenged Truth to a race, claiming she could swim across the river faster than Truth.

Lie laid out the rules to the challenge, stating that they both must remove all their clothes, and at the count of 3, dive into the freezing cold water, and swim to the other side and back.

Lie counted to 3, but when Truth jumped in, Lie did not. As Truth swam across the river, Lie put on Truth’s clothes, and walked back into the town dressed as Truth. She proudly paraded around town pretending to be Truth.

Truth made it back to shore, but her clothes were gone and she was left naked with only Lie’s clothes to wear. Refusing to dress herself as Lie, Truth walked back to town naked. People stared and glared as naked Truth walked through town. She tried to explain what happened and that she was in fact Truth, but because she was naked and uncomfortable to look at, people mocked and shunned her; refusing to believe she was really Truth.

The people in town chose to believe Lie because she was dressed appropriately and easier to look at. From that day until this, people have come to believe a lie rather than they believe the naked Truth.

(An Old Roman Fable) Funny how Truth and Lies are timeless?

 
 
 
 
The Saudi role in 9/11, the story that won’t go away
 
 
 
 

A 4,000-page court filing on 3 February by lawyers for the 9/11 families, is putting a renewed spotlight on the role of Saudi Arabia in sponsoring the 9/11 attacks, and is increasing the pressure for release of the censored 28 pages from the Congressional Joint Inquiry.

Starting Tuesday evening, coverage of the explosive filings spread from the New York Times and CNN through the news media internationally and domestically. Importantly, the filings contained affidavits from two former 9/11 Commissioners, and from former Senate Intelligence Commission chairman Bob Graham, debunking Saudi claims that they were exonerated by the 9/11 Commission, and with 9/11 Commission member John Lehman calling for release of the 28 pages.

Watch the January 7 Capitol Hill Press Conference with Bob Graham:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKRExGJXhH0&list=PLM6byG9IYiESu6VATE-Mxgf-x_cC4C9Qt

In 2013-14, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Saudi High Commission for Relief of Bosnia & Herzegovina (SHC), were reinstated as defendants by actions of the U.S. Appeals Court in New York and the U.S. Supreme Court, and the Kingdom and the SHC are now desperately trying to get themselves dismissed again. A blockbuster pleading filed last September, states that the success of the 9/11 attacks “was made possible by the lavish sponsorship Al-Qaeda received from its material sponsors, including the Kingdom and SHC, over more than a decade leading up to 11 September 2001.” It not only contains detailed evidence of how Saudi-sponsored “charities” financed Al-Qaeda in the years leading up the 9/11 attacks, but it also describes—in detail—how Prince Salman bin Abdul Aziz al Saud (now King Salman), was put in charge of the SHC and how he personally directed the arming and financing of Al-Qaeda during the 1990s.

One of the exhibits attached to Monday’s filing, is a copy of the “Matrix of Threat Indicators“ used by the U.S. military at Guantanamo. According to an affidavit by attorney Sean Carter, one of the lawyers for the 9/11 families, The Matrix of Threat Indicators identifies the ’Saudi High Commission for Relief’ as one of the organisations within a list of ’terrorist and terrorist support entities’ and indicates that ’through associations with these groups and organisations, a detainee may have provided support to Al-Qaeda or the Taliban, or engaged in hostilities against U.S. or Coalition forces. A number of other exhibits also deal with the role of the Salman-run SHC in financing and arming Al-Qaeda.

Leading the news coverage of Monday’s filing, is the more than one hundred pages of sworn testimony by would-be hijacker Zacarias Moussaoui, describing how wealthy Saudis and members of the Saudi royal family provided financial support to him and other terrorists in the late 1990s.

Although Moussaoui was declared mentally-ill by his own lawyers in his 2006 trial in Alexandria, Va., and his public behaviour was wild and erratic, nonetheless 9/11 families’ attorney Sean Carter told the New York Times that his impression during the taking of Moussaoui’s deposition was that Moussaoui “was of completely sound mind—focused and thoughtful.”

Among those named by Moussaoui in his deposition were former Saudi intelligence head Prince Turki bin-Faisal and Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the former Saudi Ambassador to the U.S. who has previously been identified as providing support to the San Diego hijackers, and whom Executive Intelligence Review put in the center of the British-Saudi Al Yamamah terrorist-funding slush fund.

Whatever the ultimate value of Moussaoui’s testimony turns out to be, the furor surrounding it is shining a bright light on the already-established, highly-credible mountains of evidence of Saudi sponsorship of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and is giving added momentum to the demands for release of the 28 pages.

Just in case you wondered who was pulling the strings and setting the agenda.

Finish: We are in the most critical time in all of human history. For centuries a worldwide criminal network of wealthy tyrants have been planning for this moment, where they want to become the absolute rulers over all of humanity.

These financial entities have been controlling the world mostly behind the scenes, as they own all the banks, gold, silver, oil, energy, tech, media, and use their power to influence governments.

But they are not satisfied. They want to remove literally all rights, freedoms and possessions from all the people in the world.

Essentially their plan boils down to this: make the earth one huge prison, where nobody has a voice, identity, or right, and where all the resources are in the hands of these elites. That is literally their agenda, described in detail in their own books, websites, videos, and reports.

If we don’t stand up, they will steal everything dear to us.

Millions are dying already from the mandated injections, that are part of the largest depopulation program, ever to be launched against humanity. Their publicly stated goal is to reduce mankind to 500 million people.

Because They Are Evil By Andrew W. Coy
 
MThese People Are Evil
 
 
 

There are a great many things coming from Biden, Fauci, the CDC, the State Department, the military, the Justice Department, and basically the Deep State that make no sense. From Biden and the Deep State, we are getting executive orders, mandates, guidelines, decisions, policies, and edicts that just do not make any sort of intellectual sense. It is not just a difference of opinion. It is not just different politics or a different point of view. Decisions, guidelines, policies, and proposed laws are coming out of Washington D.C., Biden, and the Deep State that one just can’t figure out in an intellectual, factual, common-sense sort of way. The only way to explain what is coming from the placeholder at the White House and the Deep State elites is that they are just evil. They are doing what they’re doing because they are evil. No other answer makes sense.

Why would Biden declare a federal vaccine mandate for every American even though two previous Supreme Court decisions says his federal vaccine mandate is unconstitutional...? Because he is evil.

Why would Biden declare that all Americans must be vaccinated but illegal immigrants crossing our border illegally do not have to be vaccinated...? Because he is evil.

Why would the Biden administration demand that all Americans be vaccinated, regardless of whether they have already acquired natural immunity since they have already had COVID...? Because they are evil.

Why would the Biden administration declare a national vaccine mandate for all Americans, but exempt all of Congress, all the congressional aides, the postal service, the federal justice system, and the Supreme Court...? Because they are evil.

Why would Biden and the militarily happily leave $85 billion worth of military weapon armaments to the terrorist Taliban, but at the same time try to disarm peaceful law-abiding American citizens of their 2A rights...? Because they are evil.

Why would the Biden administration allow for open borders and unlimited illegal immigration, when they know that drug cartels and child traffickers use these openings to push the illegal drugs and the child trafficking into America...? Because they are evil.

Why would the upper echelons of the FBI, CIA, and the NSA violate their own laws, laws within the Constitution, and their own standards of practice for five years against candidate Trump, president-elect Trump, and President Trump...? Because they are evil.

Why would the Biden administration fight so hard against Texas and its pro-life law that protects babies inside the womb whose heart is already beating, but at the same time they federally protect the embryos and eggs of lizards, alligators, and snakes...? because they are evil.

Why would the Justice Department keep the “mostly peaceful protesters“ of January 6 locked up in solitary confinement as political prisoners when they actually committed no violent act...? Because they are evil.

Why would the Deep State cabal “place“ someone in the White House who obviously has diminished intellectual capacity, most likely suffering cognitively from old age, and appears from all accounts to be suffering from deteriorating mind-functioning skills, (he was hidden in the basement for most of the last six months of the controversial election)...? Because they are evil.

Why is Nancy Pelosi putting the fences and barricades back up around the Capitol dome, the people’s building, keeping the people out...? Because she is evil.

Why would Nancy Pelosi put on a “Stalinist Show Trial“ concerning the events of January 6, when she ignored the violent and deadly riots all summer long in Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago, Atlanta, and Los Angeles...? Because she is evil.

Why did Attorney General Merrick Garland say that the Justice Department is looking at putting people in jail for civil rights violations if they continue to have state forensic auditing of the controversial 2020 presidential election...? Because he is evil.

Why does Fauci continue to demand vaccinations for all, even including all K-12 students, when he knows the individuals that have had COVID are better naturally immunized than if they “take the jab“...? Because he is evil.

Why would General Mark Milley evacuate all the soldiers first from Afghanistan and leave Bagram Air Base unattended, before he got out all the American citizens and all the Afghani interpreters...? Because he is evil.

Why would Biden, the CDC, Fauci, and the Deep State be more angry at American citizens who refuse to take the experimental vaccine rather than focus their anger and retribution on China; the country that actually gave us COVID...? Because they are evil.

Why does Biden, Fauci, and the CDC refuse to admit that the Wuhan COVID virus came from Wuhan, China...? Because they are evil.

Why would Biden and the Deep State be more critical of and use more hateful words towards those Americans who believe in putting America First, rather than be critical of the globalist elite who hurt American interests both domestic and international...? Because they are evil.

Why is General Milley driving many patriot soldiers (conservatives/Christians/constitutionalists) out of the military...? Because he is evil.

Why is Biden and the Justice Department declaring that the unvaccinated have no constitutional right to travel from state-to-state...? Because they are evil.

Why does the ACLU stay silent when books are burned, people are fired, citizens are threatened with bodily harm, academic freedom is squashed, and lives and employment are cancelled simply because of a political difference or a different political point of view...? Because they are evil.

Why would the federal government and CDC close down schools and churches, but leave open alcohol and hemp stores...? Because they are evil.

When one analyzes these separate issues, it is obvious that it goes well beyond normal political difference. It is not just a difference of opinion, not just a different worldview. It is not just a political power play. It is not simply Democrats vs. Republicans nor conservatives vs. socialists. It is not just the rotten fruit of a fraudulent presidential election. These people are not dumb, not stupid, nor illiterate; that’s not it. They know exactly what they are doing. The only thing that can explain these unexplainable decisions is...? evil. The answer of evil makes the only sense, nothing else does. I do wish there was a different answer. But there’s not.

Are you ready for the coming US Government default?
 
 
 
 

The vast herd of investors are a deluded crowd.  Following the Federal Reserve’s much anticipated 75 basis point rate hike on Wednesday the major stock market indexes jumped upward.

Optimistic investors keyed in on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement and, in particular, the remark that the Fed, “will take into account the cumulative tightening of monetary policy, the lags with which monetary policy affects economic activity and inflation and economic and financial developments.”

Somehow this was perceived as being the precursor to a policy pivot.  Yet during the post-FOMC statement press conference, Powell clarified that, “It’s very premature to be thinking about pausing.”

Stocks then fell off a cliff.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) closing out the day with a loss of 505 points.

Will there be a pivot, pause, or no pivot?  This is the wrong question to be asking.  The reality is the major stock market indexes have much farther to fall before the bear market is over, regardless of if the Fed pivots anytime soon.

If you recall, the Fed began cutting interest rates in September of 2007.  Yet the stock market didn’t bottom out until March of 2009.  Similarly, the Fed began cutting interest rates in January of 2001.  Still, the stock market didn’t bottom out until October of 2002.

Thus, using these two most recent bear markets as a guide, once the Fed finally begins cutting interest rates, which would come after inflation has begun to abate and a period of interest rate pause, the stock market will continue to fall for another 18 to 22 months.

In other words, this bear market may not bottom out until well into 2025.  What’s more, the entire dollar based financial system will likely blow up sometime beforehand.

How’s that for a grim outlook?

Investors, as you can see, are incredibly twisted up by the Fed’s money games, and how they’ve enhanced the peaks and valleys of the stock market.  As for workers and voters, many don’t have a clue as to the ramifications for the real, Main Street economy.  Here’s why…

Don’t Be Scammed!
 
 
 
 

Australians are being urged to learn how to spot a scam after damage has doubled over the past twelve months.

Combined losses of over $2 billion were reported last year and that figure is expected to reach $4 billion this year, with incidents reported to Scamwatch already significantly higher than 2021.

Gone are the days when most of us were reasonably certain we could spot a ’Nigerian Prince’ suggesting we were his long-lost relative. And following the recent hacking of Optus and Medibank Private data (amongst others) we are being urged to be even more wary of targeted emails.

ACCC Deputy Chair Delia Rickard warns that scammers evolve quickly, and their tactics are becoming increasingly sophisticated and unscrupulous.

“There have been hundreds of reports to Scamwatch in the weeks after the recent high profile data breaches and that is expected to continue”, Rickard says.

“Cyber criminals have capitalised on the data breach by impersonating government departments and businesses to carry out identity theft and remote access scams.”

The ACCC offers the following tips for avoiding scams.

Stop

- Take your time before giving money or personal information to anyone.
- Scammers will offer to help you or ask you to verify who you are. They will pretend to be from organisations you know and trust like a business you deal with, police, government or fraud service.

Think

- Ask yourself could the message or call be fake?
- Never click a link in a message. Only contact businesses or government using contact information from their official website or through their secure apps. If you’re not sure say no, hang up or delete.

Protect

- Act quickly if something feels wrong.
- Contact your bank immediately if you lose money or personal information or if you notice some unusual activity on you cards or accounts. Seek help from organisations like IDCARE and report online crime to ReportCyber. Help others by reporting scams to Scamwatch.

Take precautionary action now

- Make your accounts as safe as your home. Set up extra steps on your accounts to stop people getting in.
- Add more steps to show who you are when you log into your online services and apps. This is called Multi Factor Authentication.
- This could be a code sent to your phone, a token or secret question. Your face or fingerprint or voice can also be the key to let you into your accounts.
- Ask your banks and service providers how to add more checks so no one can pretend to be you. And don’t forget to tell them if you have been in a data breach.

As part of the national scam prevention campaign, the ACCC is rolling out a series of short educational videos, featuring simple and practical tips to help people identify and protect themselves from scams. These are being shared on social media and available to view on YouTube and the Scams Awareness Week web page.
