Congressional Spending Goes Full Weimar

by Jeff Lukens, American Thinker:

It has become a speculative game in the blogosphere to predict what black swan calamities could lead to a breakdown in civil order and the imposition of some form of martial law.  Wars and rumors of war abound.  We have already seen a container ship mysteriously knocking down a bridge and closing a key port.  Other such scenarios include massive cyber-attacks that shut down the grid and block communication and transportation networks nationwide.  The speculation on the variations of such events is virtually endless.

U.S. Cities Fall Into A “Doom Loop” As The CRE Crisis Absolutely Explodes

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:

In the entire history of the United States, we have never witnessed an urban collapse of this magnitude.  During the pandemic, millions of Americans started working from home, and many of them have never returned to the office.  Meanwhile, rapidly rising levels of crime, homelessness and migration have transformed many of our inner cities into extremely dangerous places.  As a result, thousands upon thousands of businesses have left our core urban areas in search of greener pastures.  So now there is lots and lots of commercial real estate space that is sitting empty, and commercial real estate prices have absolutely plummeted.

The Military-Industrial Complex: Unchecked and Unaccountable

by Harley Schlanger, LaRouche Organization:

There is an opportunity to end the dangerous hypocrisy of western governments, which is being exposed daily, in brutal wars and a proliferation of sanctions, but it requires a cognitive leap by citizens in the west, and the summoning of individual courage to seek the truth and to speak out, to realize that opportunity.  Take the time to study the videos linked below, for new insights into how to overcome the degeneracy which is taken for granted in today’s world.  And send me your questions and comments for the regular Friday Questions Update..

Food Is Now An Investment – Here’s Why Inflation Isn’t Going Away Anytime Soon

by Brandon Smith, Alt Market:

One of the more difficult aspects of working in economic analysis is the problem of rampant disinformation that you have to dig through in order to get to the truth of any particular issue.  In this regard, economics is very similar to politics.  The propaganda is endless and debunking it sometimes feels like moving a mountain with a teaspoon.

Establishment media sources lie incessantly about our financial conditions, and when they are finally cornered and forced to admit how bad things are, they then lie about the causes.  That said, I find that these lies are usually designed to do one of two things:  Over-complicate the problem so that people give up thinking about it, or, distract from the problem so that people blame a scapegoat.

Whistleblower Was Involved in Biden Schemes Trump Wanted Probed

by M Dowling, Independent Sentinel:

Newly obtained emails from former Vice President Joe Biden’s office reveal that the ‘whistleblower’ who sparked Donald Trump’s first impeachment was deeply involved in the political maneuverings behind Biden-family business schemes in Ukraine that Trump wanted probed.

This is the case where Biden demanded the firing of Ukraine prosecutor Viktor Shokin. Biden tied it to US aid for Ukraine. Biden was guilty of what Trump was impeached for doing. Trump did nothing wrong.

Are You Prepared for Life with No Internet?

by Brian Shilhavy, Health Impact News:

I am old enough to remember what life was like prior to the commercial use of the Internet, and the development of the World Wide Web (WWW) which made the Internet graphical and interactive, rather than just text-based.

My first access to the Internet came in the early 1990s, when I was working as an English professor at a University in Saudi Arabia. The university’s computer network ran on Unix, and was connected to other academic networks around the world on a network called “Bitnet” at that time.

The Internet was just getting started in academic circles, whereas previous to that the Internet was primarily only used by the military.

Tehran could strike Israeli nuclear sites, general warns

from RT:

An attack on Iran’s facilities will trigger tit-for-tat retaliation, the IRGC officer in charge of their safety has said

If Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear facilities, Tehran could respond in kind, a senior officer of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Thursday, according to local media.

Tensions have escalated in the Middle East this month following an alleged Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1, in which seven IRGC officers were killed. Tehran retaliated last weekend with a massive barrage of drones and missiles, most of which were reportedly downed by the Jewish state and its Western backers.

Impeachment ‘Whistleblower’ Was in the Loop of Biden-Ukraine Affairs That Trump Wanted Probed

by Paul Sperry, Real Clear Wire:

The ‘whistleblower’ who sparked Donald Trump’s first impeachment was deeply involved in the political maneuverings behind Biden-family business schemes in Ukraine that Trump wanted probed, newly obtained emails from former Vice President Joe Biden’s office reveal.

In 2019, then-National Intelligence Council analyst Eric Ciaramella touched off a political firestorm when he anonymously accused Trump of linking military aid for Ukraine to a demand for an investigation into alleged Biden corruption in that country.

from The National Pulse:

An engineer from Boeing, Sam Salehpour, warned members of the United States Senate on Wednesday of a potential loss of hundreds of lives if quality issues at the aviation giant are not resolved urgently.

In testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee’s investigations subcommittee, Salehpour claimed Boeing’s negligent disregard for concerns raised by employees and hostility to safety endangers passengers’ and crews’ lives. He specifically highlighted faults with over 1,000 Boeing 787 Dreamliner jets currently in service that could lead to premature fatigue failure.
