Anyone getting the feeling its the Calm before the Storm?. Bilderbergers meeting next week followed by WHO.
Fed getting to roll out their Fed Now Service in July after the Republicans force a Default that Trump endorses. I say Hell No!
That should scare them.
Seriously though, I just looked at the transcript of Trumps CNN Interview. This is disturbing,
TRUMP: I say to the Republicans out there -- congressmen, senators -- if they don't give you massive cuts, you're going to have to do a default. And I don't believe they're going to do a default because I think the Democrats will absolutely cave because you don't want to have that happen.
But it's better than what we're doing right now because we're spending money like drunken sailors. You know the expression?
COLLINS: So, just to be clear, Mr. President, you think the U.S. should default if the White House does not agree to the spending cuts Republicans are demanding?
TRUMP: Well, you might as well do it now because you'll do it later, because we have --
TRUMP: Well, you might as well do it now because you'll do it later. Because we have to save this country. Our country is dying. Our country is being destroyed by stupid people, by very stupid people.
COLLINS: You once said that using the -- that using the debt ceiling as a negotiating wedge just could not happen. You -- you said that when you were in the Oval Office.
TRUMP: Sure, that's when I was president.
COLLINS: So why is it different now that you're out of office?
TRUMP: Because now I'm not president.
COLLINS: The U.S. defaulting would be massively consequential...
TRUMP: Well, you don't know...
COLLINS: ... for everyone in this room, for all Americans.
TRUMP: You don't know. It's psychological. It's really psychological more than anything else. And it could be very bad. It could be, maybe, nothing. Maybe it's -- you have a bad week or a bad day, but, look, you have to cut your costs. We're -- we're spending $7 trillion on -- much of it on nonsense -- $7 trillion on nonsense.
It finished at 28 trillion for Trump, so 8 trillion in 4 years. Under Biden it increased from 28 trillion to 31.7 trillion, but he still has 18 months to go.
Nice Post by A Mid Western Doctor
When I looked at everything that had happened in the energy sector, it became immediately apparent that the same playbook was being reused. Over and over, I saw the same methods utilized to outlaw effective therapies and force bad medicines on the public used to keep bad energy sources on the market and cover up the good ones.
If you take a step back, those issues aren’t just consigned to medicine.
Any industry that makes a considerable amount of money will go to extreme lengths to put profits before people, and it should come as no surprise that the military-industrial complex holds nothing back here.
Because of my childhood, I feel very strongly about war, and I’ve done a lot of work to try and oppose it.
Biden’s Wars
I've previously received many requests to publish a post on the war in Ukraine, and I've gone back and forth on publishing a 20-page article I've drafted. However, now feels like the right time to share its key points.
When Trump was president, he did something no one since Carter had done. He started no new wars and, furthermore, pulled America out of numerous existing conflicts.
What you are describing is what I have recently started calling the Military Industrial Everything Complex (MIEC)
https://pete843.substack.com/p/military-industrial-everything-complex
The MIC has we knew it in 1st and 2nd Generation Warfare has evolved into 4th and 5th Generation Warfare and so the MIC has extended itself to every institution and discipline, and become the MIEC. It is increasingly directed at domestic applications including the fusion of the Military with Health, Tech , Information , Academia and Climate/Energy sectors.
Profit is simply the fuel that drives this complex military machine
I agree with your short take on Ukraine. Our history in Ukraine goes back to World War II and the Ukrainian-Polish diaspora has significant input into our foreign policy goals, and not necessarily in the interests of the Ukrainian citizens who are seen as an impediment into the raping and pillaging of Ukrainian assets
I wrote quite a bit on Ukraine last year but this might be the best place to start
Prelude to War
As Ukraines population is being reduced the corporations involved in the Military Industrial Everything Complex are staking their territory and negotiating sweet heart deals with Zelensky
As for Trump starting no new wars. Pffft. Except the one against the American People, even if he didn’t know it
Besides, he was a one term President like Carter. George W was too but he had 8 years as VP to prepare and no Soviet Bear to worry about
Reagans only war was a 2 day war against a 600 man Army (Grenada) his first term, and a brief Air campaign against Libya in his 2nd. His intervention in Lebanon was more of peace keeping mission to prevent a wider war.
Clinton started no new War in his first term beyond short (Bosnia) or sporadic (Iraq) air campaigns, the latter of which was a continuation of the first Bush War to save Incubator Babies. Clintons 2nd term saw the NATO Air war against Yugoslavia . Perhaps a deal was made relating to the impeachment. Who knows?
Obama did a short Naval/Air War on Libya as part of NATO in his 1st term. The only American boots on ground were CIA.
Trump continued to support the Wars in Syria (Obamas War), Afghanistan (Bush Jr War) and Yemen (using Saudi Arabia ,much like Biden is using Ukraine against Russia).
Under Trump the US, its allies, and the Afghan government killed an average of 582 civilians per year from 2007 to 2016. The annual average of civilians killed rose by nearly 95% from 2017 through 2019 to 1,134 each year.
Trump dropped the Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) – nicknamed the 'Mother of All Bombs' – in April 2017 against ISIS forces located in eastern Afghanistan. Can’t count the civilians since there is nothing left but atoms
As he decreased troops in Syria he increased bombing there as well
He began delivery of the first lethal weapons to Ukraine and he continued CIA -Military support for Ukraines military that was engaged in War in the Donbas . All of which contributed to Russias decision to invade
Trump started an economic and trade war with Venezuela and China, the latter of which may escalate into a Military War over Taiwan. Furthermore, walking away from the Iran deal and Sanctions and assassination of their top General was a defacto Act of War. Fortunately Iran is too weak to retaliate
He also increased Military Spending every year he was in office
But hey, Trumps boys were busy planning Operation Covid, they were too busy to bother the boss with a new War. The War on the US people was in the works. Whether he knew this is anyones guess but bringing on guys like Kadlec, Azar and Redfield make me suspicious, not to mention Bolton who was his National Security Adviser when the Pandemic Plan (PanCAP) was developed that was then adopted by the NSC on March 13,2020 for COVID

Establishment and Opposition Group Think is dividing us into small groups where many have now ended up in separate belief or opinion bubbles .
Increasing extremism and intolerance means that groups end up further and further apart and can no longer have sensible conversations. Both sides may see the other side as crazy, brainwashed and downright dangerous and may support totalitarian measures to crack down on their perceived or designated enemies.
This is why I think Trump is so valuable to the Establishment Elite who wish to create a Totalitarian State. Unwittingly or not, Trump plays right into their hands. Divide and Rule.
CNN embraced him with an interview, nicely playing into all his talking points. The objective was to give Trump a boost in the Republican Primary, so they kindly played into all of Trumps talking points and issues his base completely backs him on (Jan 6, election fraud, classified records, law suits, energy prices, etc) . Fake Wrestling at its finest. Notice they carefully avoided on challenging him on his handling of Covid and the Vaccines, nor did they bring up his failure to deliver on major campaign promised. This was made in heaven for Trump.
This leads me to Alison McDowells views on substack. Alison Mcdowell hates Substack almost as much as she hates Blockchain.
She is a brilliant lady much like Whitney Webb , but unlike Whitney a bit of a narcissist . Very intolerant to those with views she does not agree with and very combative. Her clashes with Whitney Webb were price less. She was Twitters greatest blocker. Blocked me for supporting Whitney in her use of Crypto for convenience.
Anyways, she touches on how media like substack play into controlling the Opposition
Substack offered a convenient home for the burgeoning cadre of lockdown dissenters who opted to “play” in this digital sandbox. Perhaps participants understood in the back of their minds that simulation models were quietly predicting their behaviors and steering emergent thought forms and narrative structures towards the system’s desired end. But perhaps that didn’t really matter as long as readers had a programmed community around them and heroes to worship. At the end of the day, the techno-military industrial complex is really, really good at cognitive domain management. They want us to love our prison
Substack has set up income sharing agreements to subsidize some writers. “Substack offers ‘advance’ financial incentives to writers, followed up by future income-sharing agreements. It has the potential to become a giant, stigmergic ant computer.”
We know from one of their own founders that specific Substack writers are receiving large financial incentives for certain narratives, but what happens when comment section ‘writers’ are receiving something similar, presuming they are even real people

Unfortunately the stress of the past few years seems to have gotten to her, but some of her work on Impact Investing and the coming Digital Gulag is brilliant.
Medical Freedom Hero Going Soft?
Is Pierre Kory trying to protect his profession by blaming Journals and Regulators instead of Doctors.
A couple of months ago he defended NYC over what went on in Nursing Homes and got slammed so hard he had to back track.
https://pete843.substack.com/p/care-home-deaths-mistakes-or-a-culling
Now he is saying Doctors were just misinformed while at the same time admitting that giving Ivermectin would cause no harm. Anyone ever hear of a Placebo effect
Kory said a major part of the problem is that doctors are misinformed by such institutions.
“They [doctors] really believe what they’re told and what they read,” he said. “They trust in those journals and they trust in their agencies.”
He added:
“The physicians were, I would say, manipulated, by manipulating the evidence based around ivermectin, which leaves these doctors thinking it doesn’t work.
“And they believe the media, they believe the propaganda and they believe the journals.
“A well-known fact said by other experts that have studied science, is that the average doctor has no idea how captured those journals are. They have a little idea of how corrupted the science is in high-impact medical journals.
“And to me, that’s kind of the big thought in this case: in a sea of censorship and propaganda people are gonna do strange things and people are gonna get hurt.”
Maybe I am overreacting . Read it and see if you agree
And lets not forget the money that was being thrown at Hospitals these Doctors were working for going along with these harmful policies
Modern Discontent Weighs In on Synthetic mRNA Vaccine Concerns for Livestock and Plants
He also makes the point disinformation put out by Substack Authors could be used by MSM to discredit all Substack Content.
With the implementation of Notes and more attention being brought to Substack, the serious question of censorship has been raised with serious uncertainty to what may come to this platform in the future.
All that being said, what this tells us is that much of what we disseminate on Substack may be picked up by the mainstream press and used to discredit any arguments against the vaccines or COVID policies.
On one hand, this isn’t a big deal as free dissemination of any form of information should be encouraged. On the other hand, this can lead to trouble when the information we present is heavily misinterpreted or even sometimes flat-out wrong.
Snip
The lack of long-term safety data, and even data relating to the longevity of mRNA or spike in the body warrants real concerns about what mRNA vaccines would do us as consumers if we were to each mRNA-vaccinated animals.
I won’t speculate on the uncertainties in the food chain, but as an animal model mRNA vaccines have been proven to be feasible- safe and effective is another story.
But now compare that idea with plants. How exactly would you get mRNA vaccines into plants? This model doesn’t translate over well into lettuce or tomatoes, and here the model falls apart.
I should note that I am not stating that mRNA vaccines in plants may not occur, but so far there appears to be a clear lack of proof of concept, and to speculate on such matters requires that one propose a model with some degree of feasibility.
And yet, many people have covered taken to alarming people of mRNA vaccine in food, with some of these arguments lacking nuance.
The Vaccination can and most likely will be done in animals and plants , along with genetic modification (currently being done with plants and being researched in animals)
I don’t know that mRNA could work with plants but certainly it can with animals. I believe there was a mRNA vaccine for Rabies before COVID
mRNA Vaccines-animals
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8877136/
Vaccinating Plants
The hypothetical is can residual synthetic mRNA harm people.
With regard to animals, say vaccinating a cow with mRNA i would say the risk is negligible. The amount of residual mRNA by the time its slaughtered is negligible, ppb or ppt levels. But certainly these should be adequately tested.
Live stock already receive attenuated live viral RNA vaccines which contain natural but not modified RNA, so likely degrade quicker
Meat is ingested and not injected. The digestive system is a much more hostile environment for mRNA especially mRNA without its protective lipids.
And after cooking your meat I cant imagine there is much intact mRNA left anyways
My concern would be if the mRNA vaccinated animals create prion proteins that could harm people. These seems more of a concern than the naked residual mRNA
That said, I would be more concerned with pesticides, herbicides and genetic modification, and residual antibiotics and hormones in food, but frankly, as long as it tastes good I am not going to worry much. I already got one foot in the grave anyways
If people really want something to worry about, think about self spreading vaccines being administered to the human herd. I strongly suspect Omicron is a self spreading vaccine (albeit without the mod-mRNA and LNP).
Self spreading vaccines are being considered use in wild animal populations or already used (chickens )
Tessa Lena writes
“I have a feeling that a hundred years from now, when our descendants look back at gene editing and “mRNA vaccines,” they’ll view them the way we view lobotomies today.”
This strikes me as Hopium, convincing yourself that this is all going away and normal people will write the History. IMO we are at the End of History. The only history will be the from elite programmed AI Chat GBT’s
But yes, if somehow normal humans could take back control of history and the present, and Tessa would be right. Its a nice dream.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr Running as a Democrat.
Not exactly news but what the hell is the purpose here. With his position on Climate Change I don’t think he has a chance of getting enough votes from the anti-Covid Vaccine group, and the MSM anyone the coverage needed to win an election to anyone that does. Which is probably why Trump won’t touch it and MSM is going to make sure he gets all the coverage he wants to make sure he does
I wish him the best though
Donald Trump News
Donald Trump was found liable of sexual abuse and defamation yesterday in a civil case brought against him by columnist E. Jean Carroll. The former president has been ordered to pay roughly $5m in compensatory and punitive damages. Trump has indicated he will appeal the verdict.
In January, the Trump Organization was sentenced to pay $1.6 million in fines for a tax fraud conviction.
In the 2016 presidential election Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, paid porn star Stormy Daniels $130,000 for her silence about an affair she says she had with Trump in 2006. Trump denies the allegations and the affair but has admitted to reimbursing Cohen for his payment to Daniels.
On April 4 . Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records.
Trump's reimbursement checks for the suppression payment falsely stated that the money was for a "retainer agreement," prosecutors said. The indictment accused Trump of falsifying his real estate company's books with intent to defraud.
While falsifying business records in New York on its own is a misdemeanor punishable by no more than one year in prison, it is elevated to a felony punishable by up to four years when done to advance or conceal another crime, such as election law violations.
Prosecutors say Trump falsified records in part to cover up the fact that the payment to Daniels exceeded federal campaign contribution limits.
New York Attorney General Letitia James sued Trump and his Trump Organization last September for fraud. James said that her office found more than 200 examples of misleading asset valuations between 2011 and 2021, and that Trump inflated his net worth by billions of dollars.
She said the scheme was intended to help Trump obtain lower interest rates on loans and better insurance coverage. The civil lawsuit seeks to permanently bar Trump and three of his adult children from running companies in New York state, and to recoup at least $250 million obtained through fraud.
A trial is scheduled for October.

Enough said.
The following of Trump on CNN is hilarious, but sad.
