So much is going on in the world right now that it is truly difficult to keep up with it all. I have a number of things that I wanted to share with you today, and so I decided to throw all of it into one article. Before I get into some of the developments from the other side of the world, let me give you a quick update on what is happening in Chicago. Yesterday I wrote about how law enforcement authorities were bracing for enormous anti-Israel protests, and it is a good thing they were prepared to intervene because on Monday a group of crazed protesters successfully breached the security perimeter that was supposed to protect the DNC…
by Ron Paul, Ron Paul Institute:
Former President and current Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump recently renewed his criticisms of the Federal Reserve. He suggested that, if he returns to the White House next year, he will push Congress to pass legislation giving the president at least a say in the Fed’s decisions regarding interest rates.
by David Bell, Activist Post:
The World Health Organization (WHO) acted as expected this week and declared Mpox a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). So, a problem in a small number of African countries that has killed about the same number of people this year as die every four hours from tuberculosis has come to dominate international headlines. This is raising a lot of angst from some circles against the WHO.
While angst is warranted, it is mostly misdirected. The WHO and the IHR emergency committee they convened had little real power – they are simply following a script written by their sponsors. The African CDC, which declared an emergency a day earlier, is in a similar position. Mpox is a real disease and needs local and proportionate solutions. But the problem it is highlighting is much bigger than Mpox or the WHO, and understanding this is essential if we are to fix it.

Does anyone have a good answer to this?
Note that I did not say ‘if’ the regime steals the election.
So far the 2024 election is proceeding according to the same playbook as 2020. Trump is touring the country, holding massive rallies that generate vast enthusiasm. He puts his foot in his mouth as often as he strikes rhetorical gold, making his online supporters oscillate wildly along the familiar it’s so over/we’re so back pendulum, alternately convinced that victory is inevitable and that their leader is determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by, for instance, declaring that he wants lots of immigration because AI is coming (no, that didn’t make sense to me, either). None of this matters to the base, who continue to turn out in their tens of thousands, regardless of what the big man says or doesn’t say. It’s all vibes.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveled to Israel on Monday to underscore America’s commitment to defending the Jewish state from the consequences of their own actions.

The Democratic National Convention kicks off in Chicago on Monday, and the city has been bracing for violence and riots. Businesses started boarding up their windows and doors last week due to the many thousands of antisemitic, pro-Palestinian protesters expected to descend on the area organized by more than 200 different groups. Some are saying it could be reminiscent of the violence that plagued the 1968 DNC, which was also in Chicago.
Kamala Harris’ DNC platform pledges to pass the U.S. Citizenship Act. What is it? The most radical amnesty bill ever written. Amnesty for human traffickers & gang members, no welfare restrictions for migrants, lets deportees return, & worse.
