‘Death Outlives War’: Analysis Estimates Post-9/11 ​US Conflicts Killed Over 4.5 Million

by Brett Wilkins, Common Dreams:

“The United States government, while not solely responsible for the damage, has a significant obligation to invest in humanitarian assistance and reconstruction in post-9/11 war zones,” said the author of a new report.

The post-9/11 War on Terror may have caused at least 4.5 million deaths in around half a dozen countries, according to a report published Monday by the preeminent academic institution studying the costs, casualties, and consequences of a war in which U.S. bombs and bullets are still killing and wounding people in multiple nations.

The Truth of ‘Woke’

by Karl Denninger, Market Ticker:

It’s a scam.

But not the sort you think it is.

Rather, it has appeared to be “ok” and even “what people want.”

It isn’t, it never was, it was always a chimera and a lie.

People are jumping on Disney’s revelation that they are not going to move a cadre of “imagineers” (their term for the groups that come up with new idea for their parks and such) to the Orlando area from California.  This, people say, is a reaction to DeSantis’ feud with Disney, and some form of “corporate payback.”

How Covid Tyranny Destroys Society

by Lew Rockwell, Lew Rockwell:

The dark powers that control the world have used the fake Covid “pandemic” to isolate people from one another and destroy social bonds. This isolation isn’t accidental but is the aim of these powers, in order to weaken resistance to their efforts to cement their dominance. All this is in addition to the death and destruction caused by the fake “vaccines.”

Brandon Smith gives a good analysis of the effects of Covid lockdowns: “Today’s calls for overreaching government power in the name of ‘beating coronavirus’ [is] no different. In the wake of widespread fear, people suffer from fits of temporary madness that allows them rationalize moral relativism and unnecessary sacrifices.

Supreme Court: IRS Can Obtain Bank Records Of 3rd Parties Not Under Investigation

from Activist Post:

In a unanimous decision, the US Supreme Court ruled last week that it’s legal for the IRS to secretly obtain the bank records of third parties who are not under investigation, when seeking a summons for banking records believed to be relevant to the tax delinquency of another person.

The new ruling gives the IRS “startlingly broad authority to pry into the financial records of people who may be only remotely connected to a delinquent taxpayer,” according to one lawyer briefed on the decision, the Epoch Times reports.

by Harambe, Not The Bee:

Like many major Democratic-run metropolitan centers, New York City is currently suffering from a crippling wave of retail theft. Major employers are pulling out, entire aisles are being put under lock and key, store owners are just desperate to stop the costly stealing.

The city government, meanwhile, this week launched “a comprehensive plan to combat retail theft” throughout the boroughs, and man, they’re really pulling out all the stops:

WHO to Govern the Health of the World?

by Ramesh Thakur, Brownstone:

Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) adopted a deeply troubling position on abortions. In a long and thoughtful article on an issue that is as emotionally fraught as it is intellectually and morally challenging, Dr. David Bell explains how the organization’s abortion care guidance published in March 2022 calls for babies to “be killed up until the moment they emerge from the birth canal, without delay, whenever a pregnant woman requests it.” Thus Recommendation 2(LP) says that abortion should be available on request and 3(LP) advises against “laws and other regulations that prohibit abortion based on gestational age limits” (p. xxv).

From Peter Reagan at Birch Gold Group

You don’t need a degree in economics to understand that the economy is driven primarily by consumer spending.

When the pandemic started, that spending slowed, thanks in part to the panicked response by government officials who shut down businesses for weeks or months in 2020. (Remember “Two weeks to stop the spread”?)

But starting in 2021, consumer spending finally started picking up again (along with red-hot inflation). And that’s a big economic force! In fact, consumer spending on everything from gas and groceries to mansions and Maseratis now accounts for 68.4% or more than two-thirds of the nation’s gross national product (GDP).

Why did Jake Sullivan fly to Saudi Arabia?

by Viktor Mikhin, New Eastern Outlook:

The unconditional further strengthening of Saudi Arabia’s authority and influence in the Middle East in the recent period has significantly increased the general interest in developing relations with the kingdom. This is especially true of the “beacon of democracy,” the United States, and its closest ally in the Middle East, Israel.

Ten years ago, in assessing Saudi Arabia’s international activities, many assumed that Riyadh preferred to give money to various elements in the region and entrust them with protecting its interests. At one time, the Saudis, according to some reports, even allegedly gave money to the Islamic State (a terrorist group banned in the Russian Federation) to make the group fight against the Iraqi government, which had fallen under Iranian influence. The Saudis thought they were rich enough to give money to others and hire them to fight for their cause.
