Russian jamming has rendered US weapons ineffective in Ukraine, with the success rate of advanced systems like Excalibur and HIMARS plummeting to just 10%, significantly eroding Ukraine’s defensive capabilities and prompting urgent requests for upgrades.
Due to Russia’s signal jamming, several advanced US weaponry systems in Ukraine are currently inoperable.

We’re all familiar with the term, “quantitative easing.” It’s described as meaning, “A monetary policy in which a central bank purchases government securities or other securities from the market in order to lower interest rates and increase the money supply.”
Well, that sounds reasonable… even beneficial. But, unfortunately, that’s not really the whole story.
When QE was implemented, the purchasing power was weak and both government and personal debt had become so great that further borrowing would not solve the problem; it would only postpone it and, in the end, exacerbate it. Effectively, QE is not a solution to an economic problem, it’s a bonus of epic proportions, given to banks by governments, at the expense of the taxpayer.

For the past two years, I’ve been warning about the emergence of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), or as I like to call the U.S. version, “Biden Bucks.”
Can good old-fashioned American federalism stop them? We’ll consider that possibility today.
If you’re a new reader who isn’t familiar with Biden Bucks, or an existing reader who could use a reminder, the Biden administration is planning to create a purely digital dollar.
A United flight aborted takeoff from O’Hare after an engine caught fire.
Video from Ivan Paloalto shows smoke streaming from the wing of the plane.
“I felt the impact on my window. As I looked, the engine was on fire and smoke was coming out,” he said. https://t.co/j6tCUDy9JZ pic.twitter.com/c7Ajtgr4Sq

Over the last half-dozen years I’ve regularly cited the work of John Beaty, a respected academic who spent his entire teaching career at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
During World War II, Prof. Beaty served in Military Intelligence and his responsibilities included producing the daily intelligence briefing reports distributed to the White House and the rest of our top political and military leadership. That position provided him with a unique perspective on the entire course of the conflict.

The Iranian tragedy shocked the world. The simultaneous loss of four senior officials, including the country’s president and his foreign minister, was mourned not only by the Iranian people, but by all free countries committed to diplomacy and peace. The circumstances of the accident favor the thesis that there was a targeted attack or sabotage operation. And talking about it shouldn’t be considered ‘conspiracy theory’.
from Schiff Gold:
The Comex report for last month correctly identified a potential big move in silver while the same report two months ago preceded a massive up move for the price of gold. The data this month is not as obvious or compelling, but it is clear the stress on the Comex continues to build.
The CME Comex is the Exchange where futures are traded for gold, silver, and other commodities. The CME also allows futures buyers to turn their contracts into physical metal through delivery. You can find more detail on the CME here (e.g., vault types, major/minor months, delivery explanation, historical data, etc.).

After two years of negotiations, an effort by the World Health Organization to agree on a global pandemic treaty has failed.
The plan, which sought to agree on a framework for how countries would respond to the next pandemic, would give the WHO the power to mandate lockdowns, vaccines, and vaccine passports and other forms of authoritarian control.
The effort was led by WHO Director, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, an Ethiopian politician with links to Marxist guerilla movements whose “recommendations” shaped the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
