A World Health Organization (WHO) official suggested that mass vaccination might be required to combat mosquito-borne illnesses as the infected insects migrate to new countries due to climate change.
Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO’s technical lead for COVID-19, made the comments at a recent press conference.

The U.S. dollar has been the world standard for currency since the end of World War II – but there are legitimate contenders that could take that title away. Whether it’s the relatively new conglomerate of economic powerhouses with a BRICS currency, the Chinese yuan or even digital currencies like bitcoin, there are many options. The world could choose to step away from the dollar as its value continues to sink and the instability of American politics puts a strain on the once unstoppable greenback.
History tells us it’s really only a matter of time. Global reserve currencies don’t last forever. Portugal filled the role back in the 1400s and that only lasted 80 years. After that, Spain took up the mantle and held it for an impressive 110 years, and no country has beat their record since. While it might seem unchanging for the generation or two living with a particular reserve currency, if you take a look at the entire span of human history, global reserve currency turnovers happen about once a century.

The Zombies Have Invaded
Jill and I are in Mountain View, California today. It turns out this is a long way from Virginia. And I am not just talking about physical distance.
Between a lovely VIP dinner with lovers of freedom last night and my speaking event tonight, I have an important interview about AI and a podcast with Shannon Joy. That gives me a few hours to get a Substack out. All on West coast time – which shifts us three hours. No problem. Life on the road is something we just adapt to.

Institutionalized Dumber and Dumber
Back in the antiquated days of 2007, a television show burst upon the scene with the provocative title, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? By and large, the adults who competed proved that they weren’t. Which really says something, considering that today’s 5th graders aren’t exactly well educated.

We have officially entered the period known as “the dog days of summer”. For the markets, this means light volume and low interest as carbon-based traders look for one more holiday before autumn and the drive toward year end.
At TFMR, we’ve always defined the “Dog Days” as the period between the first Friday of August and the Fed’s annual Jackson Hole meeting three weeks later. This is the primary period when European traders take their annual holiday and U.S. traders try to squeeze in one more vacation before summer ends and school starts.

Reginald Jones-Sawyer has a bill in the California legislature that has passed in the House. If it passes in the Senate, the new law will require judges to sentence according to race in order to rectify white racial bias and reduce the alleged disparate impact of the legal system on blacks. In other words, blacks would be given less of a sentence than whites for the same crimes in order to rectify blacks being captured by other blacks in African slave wars and sold to European slave traders who brought them to the New World as a labor force long prior to the existence of the United States.

A company called Ubicquia is partnering with law enforcement to make it easier for cops to track people’s every move with new “smart” street lights that have been outfit with hidden license plate readers (LPR).
According to a recent announcement, Flock Safety, the first public safety operating system for cities, is being deployed through Ubicquia, an “intelligent” streetlight infrastructure company that says it aims to “revolutionize the way public safety agencies deploy license plate reading (LPR) and situational awareness cameras to capture the objective evidence needed to solve more crime.”

Revolver News’ Darren Beattie charges that Color Revolution insurrectionist Victoria Nuland, who is also to blame for the Ukraine Coup 2014 and the current horrific war, orchestrated the coup.

Doctors are free to prescribe ivermectin to treat COVID-19, a lawyer representing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said this week.
“FDA explicitly recognizes that doctors do have the authority to prescribe ivermectin to treat COVID,” Ashley Cheung Honold, a Department of Justice lawyer representing the FDA, said during oral arguments on Aug. 8 in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit.
The government is defending the FDA’s repeated exhortations to people to not take ivermectin for COVID-19, including a post that said “Stop it.”
