International Man: The US federal government has raised the so-called debt ceiling 104 times since 1944.
Shouldn’t they call it a debt target instead of a debt ceiling?
Is this whole thing a farce?
Doug Casey: The situation is completely and irredeemably out of control. It’s a farce. Quite laughable, except for the fact it’s so deadly serious.
Can they reduce the debt ceiling or the amount of debt? Or even slow down its growth at this point? No.

In 2022, the Pentagon announced it was testing technology that would allow one person to control 130 robots. Apparently they have not given up on that goal.
The U.S. military will be unable to fully exploit drones until it can enable fewer people to control more robots, says Anduril’s Chris Brose, who says his company has found a way to do just that.

A new watchdog report reveals that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has been stockpiling $10 million worth of weapons, ammunition, and combat gear since 2020.
The New York Post reports that the findings, released by the group OpenTheBooks, show the IRS spending $5 million in 2021 alone as the agency ramped up the militarization of its agents. In the last three years, the IRS has spent a total of $2.3 million on ammunition, $1.2 million on ballistic shields, $474,000 on Smith & Wesson rifles, $463,000 on Beretta tactical shotguns, and $243,000 on body armor.

Three years in, the bell has rung. No, I don’t expect Covidians and vaccine fanatics to apologize. But the ones so deluded as to think THEY still should be judging US – I’m done with them. Forever.
We all lost friends. Most of us lost relatives too.
Not to Covid, of course. With some sad exceptions, almost no one lost anyone who wasn’t already over 75 or extremely overweight or ill to Covid.
We lost friends to the government and media-fed lockdown panic, and then to the rancor over the mRNAs.

A recent set of scandals involving the Supreme Court of the United States has rocked the nation. However, these scandals are years old, all pushed off the mainstream news and social media by powerful organizations. Four of nine justices are involved, Thomas, Roberts, Kavanaugh and former Justice Scalia. Sources tell us two more are involved and that powerful oligarchs such as Elon Musk are being looked at as well. We begin.
A story tying Justice Clarence Thomas to a worldwide pedophile ring was published in varying media, including by Democratic Party publicists at Mideas Touch Network on or around April 10, 2023.

Fox News host Jesse Watters, who is by some accounts the favorite to replace Tucker Carlson, is suddenly becoming “based and redpilled” and is now delivering monologues talking about Jeffrey Epstein being a Mossad agent.
While everyone was predicting Fox News was “doomed” last week when they fired Tucker Carlson, I said that Carlson was afforded “truth privilege” as the number one primetime show on the network “which allowed him to speak more truth and shill less than other hosts on the network in order to maintain an audience and draw in new viewers.”

In this episode of the Kim Iversen Show, 21st Century Wire editor Patrick Henningsen talks with Kim about the independent investigation conducted by 21WIRE and journalist Freddie Ponton in the article entitled, Secret Team: The Nord Stream Pipeline Sabotage Revisited, which appears to validate Seymour Hersh’s reporting on the Nordstream pipeline bombing, with additional facts that support his allegations of US involvement.

I must say out the gate, I do not believe our existing societal systems can flesh out a thriving world. They can only, for the most part, maintain the status quo and continue a society built on wage slavery and disconnection.
I believe a better world is possible. I believe human spirit is capable of something much greater, and this knowledge lies just beyond the conscious and subconscious programming we have come to accept about who we are and what’s possible for us.
This lens will be part of what guides the remainder of this essay.

Do we live in a civilization?
When I was growing up in the 1990s, amidst all the exuberance of the American unipolar moment, I certainly thought I lived in a civilization, and an advanced one at that.
The mood of the time was captured in the near-universal misunderstanding of Francis Fukuyama’s thesis about the “end of history,” as well as in the Disney cartoon “Aladdin.” Both “Aladdin” and Fukuyama invited us to imagine “a whole new world,” and both did so coincidentally in 1992. Nothing, it seemed, could halt the steady progress of a new age of peace, stability, wealth, and freedom.
