Human infections with bird flu viruses have most often occurred after close or lengthy unprotected contact (ie not wearing gloves or respiratory protection or eye protection) with infected birds or places that sick birds or their saliva, mucous and feces have touched. The spread of bird flu viruses from one infected person to a close contact is very rare, and when it has happened, it has not led to continued spread among people. No known human-to-human spread has occurred with the A(H5N1) virus that is currently circulating in birds in the United States and globally.

• Environmental Damage — Several studies have shown that when factoring in the production process and electricity generation needed to charge the batteries, EV conversion can be more damaging to the environment than gas vehicles.


• Rare Earth Mineral Mining Problems — The mining of rare earth minerals such as lithium and cobalt for EV batteries causes a great deal of environmental damage. Disposal of spent batteries can have toxic environmental effects, and mitigation of this issue hasn't been thought through or planned.


• Performance Shortfalls — EVs generally have a range under 225 miles, and this range is a lot less in cold or hot conditions. Also, EVs typically don't last as long as modern gas vehicles. The average EV needs expensive new batteries every 10 years.


• Dangerously Heavy — EVs are far heavier than gas vehicles, given the heavy batteries needed to power EVs. This creates a safety imbalance with non-EVs in crash situations.


• Stress on the Grid — EVs obviously need to be charged from the electric grid. This at a time when the US electric grid is dangerously unstable both from an infrastructure standpoint and potential terror attacks.

Sadly, no. Decades of building concrete gutters – driven by the mindset that stormwater is a threat to be banished, not an asset to be stored – have meant that the vast majority of that rain was simply flushed out into the ocean. Of the billions of gallons that have fallen on the LA area, only a tiny fraction were absorbed into the ground.

“Our cities are literally designed to get rid of the most precious resource we have as quickly as possible,” says Bruce Reznik, director of LA Waterkeeper, a non-profit organisation that fights for sustainable water management. “We spend billions of dollars to pave over paradise, then we realise we have flooding problems. So we spend billions more to build concrete channels to get the water away from us. Then we realise we have a water supply problem, so we spend billions more to pump water in from elsewhere – which is also the biggest use of electricity in the state. It’s insane and not sustainable.”

“We are writing to you to express our grave concern about the annexationist policies of the incoming Government of Israel, building on the policies of its predecessors which have produced a one state reality: effectively, Israel controls the lives of Palestinians throughout the occupied Palestinian territory,” the letter said.

“Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu has given the post of National Security Minister to Jewish supremacist Itamar Ben Gvir, and promised the Finance Ministry to Jewish supremacist Bezalel Smotrich.” In January, a delegation of visiting US senators asked not to meet with Smotrich, Ben Gvir or any other members of their hardline factions.

There is a cancer eating away at America, a concerted and organized effort to destabilize. For anyone who is familiar with the Conjuring movies, it’s a bit like a demonic invasion. As Ed Warren cautions, the three stages of attack are infestation, oppression and finally, possession. The little demon we are dealing with, though, comes with Antifa patches, rainbow flags and special pronouns.

The dream of leftists is to blow up the world because they see our current civilization as oppressive to their narcissism. At the same time, globalists exploit that narcissism and use leftists as a battering ram to wreak havoc. Through chaos, they hope to erect a new world order in which all values, all principles and all morals are dead and psychopathy becomes “normal”.

Though French President Emmanuel Macron has publicly called for “a military offensive which pushes back the Russian front in order to open the way for a return to negotiations,” he has privately advised Zelensky to make “difficult decisions,” according to officials who spoke to the Journal. Over dinner at the Elysee Palace earlier this month, Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told Zelensky he needed to start considering peace talks, according to people familiar with the conversation. London, Paris and Berlin would not comment on the record.

“We keep repeating that Russia mustn’t win, but what does that mean? If the war goes on for long enough with this intensity, Ukraine’s losses will become unbearable,” a senior French official told the Journal. “And no one believes they will be able to retrieve Crimea.”

Meanwhile, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has said that Russia is winning the logistical war of attrition, leaving it unclear how much the US-led bloc could spare for Ukraine in terms of weapons and ammunition. Zelensky has rejected any negotiations with Moscow, saying on Friday that “There is nothing to talk about and nobody to talk about over there.”

The warning was a response to a reporter asking what Zelensky would tell the "growing number of Americans" who believe their country is giving too much money and support to Ukraine. The president made sure to thank his American supporters – a group he hinted included not just Congress and President Joe Biden but also "the TV channels" and "the journalists" – before threatening those who held the "dangerous" opinion that the US should "give up" on Kiev.

The Republican Party regained control of the House of Representatives in last year’s midterm elections in part on a promise to curtail the Biden administration’s blank check to Kiev. While Congress has not yet passed any legislation to rein in spending on the conflict, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (Republican for Georgia) promised earlier this week to introduce a bill to force an audit of the Ukraine aid program and the House Oversight Committee demanded the administration turn over documents proving the military and economic aid being sent to Ukraine was not being lost to "waste, fraud, and abuse."

“Today marks one year of this war,” he continued. “Let us look at Ukraine, let us pray for Ukraine and open our hearts to sorrow.” “Let us not be ashamed to suffer and weep, for a war is destruction, a war always diminishes us. May God make us understand this,” he concluded.

Francis’ words reiterated an assertion he has repeatedly made, namely that contrary to the millennial Catholic tradition, there is no such thing as a just war. “Once even in our Churches there was talk of holy war or just war,” Francis told Moscow Patriarch Kirill last March. “Today one can no longer speak like that. Wars are always unjust.”

You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy. This was the first of “8 predictions for the world in 2030” that appeared in a chilling 2020 propaganda video produced for the WEF. So, how do the global elitists expect to wean the common folk off their irritating desire to own things? That is clearly going to be a gradual process that has already begun; the first stage is to get everyone used to consuming less – not just food, but all manner of goods from pork chops to pickups to pullovers.

What better way to achieve this goal than to come up with an existential crisis; a threat so great that, if not addressed with drastic measures, would bring about nothing less than the extinction of humanity? And what more effective method of accustoming people to owning less than to place limits upon how much a person can buy – all for the good of the planet, of course?

Economist Milton Friedman said, “The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem.” He almost certainly would have agreed that governments are, more often than not, the cause of the problems they then claim to be trying to solve. Either that or they will dream up a “problem” that doesn’t exist, purely to expand their powers or write new laws. Such is the case with anthropomorphic – or man-caused – climate change.

As far as manufactured crises go, this one is the mother of them all, since it will supposedly wipe out our species if not dealt with. A threat of this magnitude is the perfect excuse to promote the Great Reset. The truth, however, is that the Great Reset is very real and represents what can only be described as a hostile takeover – of everything. The plan, as it is laid out, is to create chronic fuel shortages which will in turn lead to shortages of just about all other consumer goods and food, and then introduce rationing as a way to deal with the problem.

Why would anyone imagine that the globalists would ever declare the alleged problem of climate change solved when it provides such an all-encompassing opportunity for total domination? As Milton Friedman also said, “Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program.”

"If the Fed is serious about fighting inflation, and I do not believe it is, it’s going to have to fight a lot harder than it has. Interest rates need to go up much higher than anybody thinks, but that alone is not going to do the trick. We also have to see a big contraction in consumer credit and lending standards rising so consumers can’t keep spending… Consumers are running up credit card debt. That is inflationary. That is an expansion of the supply of credit.”

It gets worse when the Fed has to save the economy again. Schiff predicts, “I think the Fed is going to have to throw in the towel on the inflation fight because it will be fighting something it fears more, which is a complete economic collapse… The federal government may be legitimately forced to cut Medicare and Social Security instead of illegitimately cutting it through inflation… We have this collapsing standard of living, but think about it as a tax. This is what Americans are paying. This is the price of big government… Higher prices are the price we pay for big government, and inflation is a tax. Instead of raising our taxes, they are just printing money, and that devalues the money we have.”

Legitimizing the settlements delivered the message that the more the Palestinian Arabs murder Israelis in order to force the Jews from the entire land, the more Israel will embed itself in the entire land. The Security Council promptly had a hissy fit. So did the US State Department, which said it was “deeply troubled.”

But the Security Council statement that America supported wasn’t “deeply troubled” by the Palestinian Arab terror attacks in Jerusalem over the previous few weeks, in which 10 Israelis were murdered. It wasn’t “deeply troubled” by the PA’s unremitting incitement to murder Israeli Jews and steal their land in an Islamic holy war.

Four days after the nine outposts were legalized, the Biden administration crossed a new red line when it arrogantly presumed to tell Israel how to run its domestic affairs. Not only did it criticize Israel’s contentious judicial reforms, but it also issued a veiled but unmistakable threat. Israel’s judicial reforms have absolutely nothing to do with America. They have no bearing on the Middle East conflict. They are an internal Israeli issue.

Biden said: “If Russia stopped invading Ukraine, it would end the war. If Ukraine stopped defending itself against Russia, it would be the end of Ukraine.” But this merely appropriated the well-known saying: “If the Palestinians stopped attacking Israel, it would end the war; but if Israel stopped defending itself against the Palestinians, it would be the end of Israel.” Yet while America believes this about Ukraine, it clearly doesn’t believe it about Israel.

"If you have interest rates rising, and rates are going to be going up because the Fed cannot stop this kind of inflation, then, you’ve got war. You have untold billions of dollars being shipped into Ukraine, which is absurd. This is what you have. You also have to look at what Janet Yellen said, and she was concerned with the tons of new debt coming out. You are exceeding the balance sheets of the Primary Dealers."

"To be a Primary Dealer, you have to be able to guarantee you will be able to buy X amount of debt. If you can’t sell it, what happens? The bank is stuck with the debt, and then they go bust. So, we have a real problem here. They cannot continue to issue this kind of debt in perpetuity. They have been borrowing money since WWII with no intention of paying anything off. How do you continue to fund a government if there are no buyers for the debt? This is on a global scale.”

So, war checks all the boxes? Armstrong says, “Absolutely. They get to default on all this debt, which is the real objective. That’s why (Klaus) Schwab is out there saying you’ll own nothing and be happy. He’s trying to make it sound like they are doing this for you. We are going to default on all debt and relieve you of all your debt. This is because they are going to wipe out everything. Pension funds will be all gone."

"That’s why they are coming out with guaranteed basic income to replace your pension. They’ve got this all worked out. That’s what the end goal is here because they cannot continue to function this way. They cannot continue to borrow whatever they need with no intention of ever paying it back.”

“We need to seriously consider developing our own nuclear capabilities if such a response is insufficient,” Chung Jin Suk said on Monday, according to South Korean news agency Yonhap, in reference to the country’s so-called ‘Kill Chain’ first-strike system.

The ‘Kill Chain’ military protocol was designed as a deterrent to North Korean nuclear threats, and involves pre-emptive strikes against nuclear missile silos and Pyongyang’s senior leadership if an imminent nuclear launch is detected. The system was initiated a decade ago, but has received a renewed impetus under President Yoon Suk-yeol, who took office last May.

Countries should also uphold the consensus that “a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought,” the initiative reads, adding that the nuclear powers should strengthen dialogue and cooperation to mitigate the risk of a nuclear stand-off. The document went on to stress the need to take the “legitimate security concerns of all countries seriously,” while respecting their sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The program paper also made an appeal to resolve international disputes exclusively through diplomacy. “War and sanctions are no fundamental solution to disputes; only dialogue and consultation are effective in resolving differences,” it said, adding: “abusing unilateral sanctions… does not solve a problem, but only creates more difficulties and complications.”

But the company forecast more muted earnings for the current fiscal year than anticipated, spooking investors. Walmart’s shares fell 2 percent in early trading. The results from Home Depot and Walmart suggested that the resilience of consumers may be starting to crack, as inflation and rising interest rates squeeze household budgets.
