Special counsel John Durham on Monday released his report on the FBI’s role in investigating the 2016 Donald Trump campaign’s alleged collusion with Russia. This investigation, codenamed “Crossfire Hurricane,” had been—according to Durham’s report—”swiftly” opened as a full-blown investigation in response to “unevaluated intelligence information” by FBI personnel “without ever having spoken to the persons who provided the information.”

It has long been “de-rigueur” to attempt to prank someone in a command position of some sort on the phone with a “fake call.” Historically this is not the easiest thing to pull off but it has been done with some of the funniest being perpetrated by radio hosts of various sorts.
Today this threat is much-more serious; so-called “machine learning” can now, for virtually anyone who has their voice and image out in the public where it can be harvested, used to “mimic” said person not only over audio but video as well.
from Revolver News:
Today was a big day on Capitol Hill, with multiple FBI whistleblowers testifying about the horrendous persecution they’ve received for telling the truth about the political weaponization of the Bureau.
If you have any doubt how severely the regime will attack its whistleblowers, especially when it comes to sensitive issues like the January 6 Fedsurrection, you need look no further than the case of Jeremy Brown. As Revolver covered in a recent piece, Brown was recently sentenced to nearly 10 years in federal prison in cooked up charges that were quite obvious retaliation for Brown’s exposing the JTTF and FBI’s attempt to recruit him as an informant in the months leading up to January 6th.

by Jim Goad, The Unz Review:
It all started with a simple five-word tweet Monday night in which billionaire tech titan and current owner of Twitter Elon Musk compared another billionaire to a fictional character in the Marvel comic-book universe:
Soros reminds me of Magneto
I’ve pored over these five words countless times, but I don’t see the word “Jews” anywhere. In a follow-up tweet, Musk clarified that Soros “wants to erode the very fabric of civilization. Soros hates humanity,” so his original tweet seems intended to paint both George Soros and Magneto in a negative light, but the only thing I could honestly glean from Musk’s tweet is that is he is a virulent anti-Sorite and a rabid anti-Magnite.

There’s no question there’s a lot to be concerned about in our world today, as we descend deeper and deeper into darkness and depravity. Near, or at, the top of that list is the sexual deviancy, hedonism and depravity that seems to be everywhere we turn now, as the LGBTQP+ mob celebrates the conquering of more and more hearts, minds and souls every day.
What was once considered hard core pornography is now being welcomed into our public schools. Even some of our so-called “Christian” schools, under the banner of “diversity, equity and inclusion.” Like our education system, our public library system is also beyond saving now, having gone “woke” under the leadership of a lesbian activist president of the American Library Association. Her perverted sexualization of, especially young childrens’ reading materials, has gone nationwide now.

The world’s most famous and highly honored investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, on 8 February 2023, headlined at his blog “How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline”, and described in remarkable detail not only the Biden Administration’s starting in December 2021 the planning for the operation to blow up the Nord Stream pipelines, but the considerable lead-up to Biden’s decision in December to authorize it. Hersh also described there Biden’s concerns starting in June 2021 which had produced that decision by him. He also described in detail how that operation was carried out, and the crucial involvement of the Norwegian Government — which means also Norway’s King — in assisting that operation.
by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:
QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, I originally thought you were just a Putin supporter. Yet as time has gone by, it is becoming very clear that you are correct and that Zelensky is waging this war for the West to conquer Russia. His meeting with the Pope and rejecting his offer to mediate clearly established he will not seek peace. Are we headed into a nuclear war? Did Ukraine really shoot down a Russian hypersonic missile?
by Joseph P. Farrell, Giza Death Star:
Today’s blog about superluminosity – faster-than-light phenomena – might seem far removed from the previous two blogs this week, about the stamped or face value of money versus its intrinsic value, or about the problems that artificial intelligence poses not only for cyber-security, but more especially for the idea of central bank digital currencies, and the power-hungry people that want to put them into place and use them as mechanisms of control. For those, however, who have been following the latter issue, superluminal signal propagation, in conjunction with artificial intelligence, or any “higher dimensional life-form” it might transduce, is I would submit a nightmare scenario that the likes of Mr. Globalooney has no pool of experts and technocrats capable of dealing with it. In any such case, an exorcist would seem to be more capable of “dealing with it” than a modern technocrat, but that requires a kind of expertise and character that technocrats do not even like, much less acknowledge the existence of, and an exorcist or even whole teams of them might not be adequate to the task, and even they might admit it.

Total household debt eclipsed $17 trillion for the first time ever in the first quarter of 2023 as Americans wrestle with persistent price inflation.
After charting the biggest rise in 20 years during the fourth quarter, household debt climbed again in Q1, rising by $148 billion. The 0.9% increase pushed total household debt to $17.05 trillion, according to the latest data by the New York Fed.
Since 2019, household debt has climbed by $2.9 trillion even with a big drop in credit card debt during the pandemic.
