As expected, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 50 basis points at the December Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. That pushed the federal funds rate to 4.5%. The last time rates were this high was in 2007. That’s bad news for an economy addicted to easy money.
While the pace of rate hikes slowed, the messaging coming out of the Fed was substantially the same as the November meeting.

More damning evidence of collusion between the CDC and social media companies to stifle free speech and censor the public was revealed in the fourth batch of explosive documents obtained from litigation against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released by the nonprofit organization America First Legal (AFL).
Twitter allowed government officials and other “stakeholders” to use a secret portal called, “Partner Support Portal” to report anything they believed to be “misinformation.”

Germany’s military readiness has collapsed. The Germany Defense Ministry has publicly stated it could only sustain a war for one week due to shortages in supplies and soldiers, reports AsiaTimes.com. What’s even more astonishing is that a German lawmaker says that’s too optimistic. The real duration of what Germany is capable of sustaining in a war is just two days.
If war is announced on Monday, in other words, Germany is finished by Wednesday and forced to surrender.

On the fifth of April in the year 1853, a diplomat from the United Kingdom with the most quintessentially British name — Stratford Canning — arrived by boat to Constantinople and immediately took an emergency meeting with Sultan Abdulmejid of the Ottoman Empire.
After decades of relative peace, Europe was once again on the brink of war. Russia was a rising power at the time, and, eager to flex its muscles, Russia threatened to invade the Ottoman Empire over completely ridiculous reasons.

BitChute was created out of a need for free-speech absolutism during a time when YouTube was busy working on tweaking their algorithms to shadow ban voices with whom they disagree.
Big tech has now taken this battle to another level by freezing the funds of the BitChute bank account in yet another attempt to silence voices they don’t like!
In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth interviews Ray Vahey, the founder and chief executive of BitChute, about his bank account being frozen, why free-speech absolutism is important and most importantly where he sees things going for BitChute into 2023.

The Fed has raised interest rates, and gold & silver…
(by Half Dollar) The Fed has officially just concluded its most recent 2-day FOMC meeting.
Here’s the Fed’s statement, posted in its entirety (bold added for emphasis and commentary):
Recent indicators point to modest growth in spending and production. Job gains have been robust in recent months, and the unemployment rate has remained low. Inflation remains elevated, reflecting supply and demand imbalances related to the pandemic, higher food and energy prices, and broader price pressures.

The European energy lobbying group 2000WATTS.org proposes that 2,000 watts is the amount of power that would be available to humans if each one of the 7.9 billion people on the planet had access to the same amount. Their concern is that our power resources are dwindling.
Whether you agree or disagree with their assumptions, it is interesting to consider how much power our frequently used appliances require. When I lived in a city, I never thought about this. I just flipped switches and paid utility bills. However, with so many parts of the country suffering power outages, I imagine that more people are now wondering, “If the power goes out, what do I do?” What could I run with a generator of this or that size? How much fuel would that require?”
