GERMANY - Top German industries could face collapse because of cuts in the supplies of Russian natural gas, the country’s top union official warned before crisis talks with Chancellor Olaf Scholz starting Monday. “Because of the gas bottlenecks, entire industries are in danger of permanently collapsing: aluminum, glass, the chemical industry,” said Yasmin Fahimi, the head of the German Federation of Trade Unions (DGB), in an interview with the newspaper Bild am Sonntag. “Such a collapse would have massive consequences for the entire economy and jobs in Germany.”

USA - Milton Friedman thought that a computer would do a better job than the Fed’s employees and stated that, “Central bankers always try to avoid their last big mistake. So, every time there’s the threat of a contraction in the economy, they’ll over stimulate the economy, by printing too much money. The result will be a rising roller coaster of inflation, with each high and low being higher than the preceding one.” Obviously, Ms Yellen had forgotten these words when she confidentially asserted that I don’t believe the next financial crisis will be “in our lifetime.” Instead, she created the highest inflation rate since the seventies. When I look at the decline in the quality of central bankers and also of western governments over the last 20 years or so, I am reminded of the words of Arthur Koestler “If one looks with a cold eye at the mess man has made of history, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that he has been afflicted by some built-in mental disorder which drives him towards self-destruction.”

USA - The Fed is once again lying to Americans about the risks they face. The big lie of 2021 was that inflation was non-existent or “transitory.” We all know how that turned out. Inflation is at a 40-year high, gas is over $5 a gallon, and Americans have never spent more of their incomes on gas and food. Now the Fed is back with another big lie. It’s the big lie of 2022: that the US won’t enter a recession. For most Americans, the economy has been in recession for months. The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) released a trove of data yesterday with its highly massaged GDP results. And BOY did it have some worrying stuff in it. Most worrying of all was the following: Real Disposable Personal Income collapsed an incredible 12% in the first quarter of 2022. Even more incredibly, it has fallen in THREE of the last four quarters. Unfortunately, it’s even worse than that. The collapse in Real Disposable Personal Incomes is larger than that which occurred during the 2008 recession. This is why inflation is so devastating… because it destroys Americans’ pocketbooks. It’s also why every time inflation rises above 5%, a recession hits. So again, the Fed is LYING about the recession, just like it lied about inflation in 2021.

USA - Seattle police arrested a street preacher on charges of being a risk to public safety for reading his Bible aloud at a public park near an LGBT pride event. Matthew Meinecke, who identifies himself as The Seattle Preacher on Twitter, was surrounded by Seattle police officers as he was reading his Bible and was subsequently arrested and fingerprinted at a police station before being released. “SPD has enough resources to send 10 police officers to arrest a preacher reading his Bible in a public park. Because it's such a horrible crime now!” Meinecke wrote on Twitter, posting a video showing his arrest. “So at this point, we can no longer stand by. The risk that you pose for public safety by remaining here can be mitigated if you leave. It’s your last chance,” a police officer can be heard saying. The preacher told the officers, “I don’t want to leave because I’m not in danger.” “I was at the Seattle Center, reading the Bible, not aggressively preaching, not stirring people up, not anything. People throwing things. People vandalizing our property. I think about 10 police officers showed up," the pastor told journalist Jonathan Choe with the Discovery Institute.

RUSSIA - Russia has a long history of using the cold to defeat Europe. The winter of 1812 arrested Napoleon’s special military operation. Hitler’s troops hit the deep-freeze outside the gates of Moscow in December 1941. Now Vladimir Putin has the option to turn off the gas sent to Europe – a strategy against which Germany appears to have no defence.

USA - Money is driving far too many things in the dystopian society forming around us. This isn't a knock on capitalism. It's about stopping those harming others for the sake of profit. The inputs used to make cell-cultured “meat,” which can hardly be called meat at all, are so unknown in terms of their effects on the human body that it truly is a crime against humanity for the stuff to be gradually making its way into the food supply.

USA - Almost half of Americans feel like strangers in their own country, a new opinion poll has revealed. It also claims that the majority of people consider their government as a corrupt institution working against them, with more than a quarter saying it may be necessary to take up arms. Most people in the US see the government as rigged against them and a quarter mull pushing back with violence, a poll shows. The statement that “it may be necessary at some point soon for citizens to take up arms against the government” was supported by 28% of Americans, including 38% of conservatives, 36% of Republicans, 35% of Independents, and 37% of those who have guns in their homes. Even among self-described soft Democrats, 19% said armed resistance may be necessary.

USA - While doing research for a column meant to remind the American people of that date’s critical importance, he came across example after example of those from the Left and the Far-Left – be they in the mainstream media, activists, or anarchists – calling for not only the “canceling” of the 4th of July, but the continued smearing, censorship, and canceling of our Founding Fathers. One overriding thought then filled his mind: “What if they are successful?”

SAUDI ARABIA - Saudi Arabia, the largest US export market in the Middle East, invited Chinese President Xi to visit Riyadh in March as relations with the US have faltered since Joe Biden was elected, The Wall Street Journal reported. According to a report from CNN, US intelligence agencies have assessed that Saudi Arabia is now actively manufacturing its own ballistic missiles with the help of China, a relationship that could lead to domino effects across Middle East countries. Under Biden, the American leader is openly mocked on the international stage. US allies are now aligning with China. Saudi Arabia announced in March it was considering accepting the Chinese yuan instead of the US dollar in future transactions. This is the move Steve Bannon and the War Room have been warning you about for the past year. It will end US dollar supremacy — and it was facilitated by Joe Biden, Democrats, and the Uniparty members.

JAPAN - China, India, Russia and other free nations face difficulties of mutual respect and trust when engaging with the rulers of Japan, because Japan is not a sovereign nation. Imperial Japan surrendered to the United States of America on August 15, 1945, ending World War II. Ever since then, Japanese rulers have to reassure themselves with their US occupiers before they sign anything with other countries, which basically prevents Asia‘s unification.

USA - There are dark clouds on the horizon, and those that choose to ignore them do so to their own peril. When World War I started, nobody thought that it would be the most horrifying war that Europe had ever witnessed. The “war to end all wars” resulted in approximately 20 million deaths, but of course it didn’t actually end all wars. World War II erupted in 1939, and it resulted in at least 40 million deaths. After witnessing such immense death and destruction, you would think that humanity would be absolutely determined to avoid a global war in the future. Unfortunately, World War III has now begun, and by the time it is over the number of dead will far exceed the combined totals from World War I and World War II.

GERMANY - Berlin is reportedly demanding that Lithuania allow the transit of sanctioned goods through its territory to the Russian exclave. The German government is irritated by Lithuania’s transit blockade of sanctioned goods from mainland Russia to its exclave, Kaliningrad, Der Spiegel magazine has reported. Since mid-June, the Baltic nation has been refusing to let items on the EU sanctions list pass through its territory. Moscow, in turn, has threatened retaliation.

CHINA - China is heading for a dangerous deflation that will dramatically impact the rest of the world. Author and J Capital Research co-founder Anne Stevenson-Yang has warned the world to brace for deflation, as China's economy is about to crash. As Xi Jinping's communist regime is still pushing for a zero-Covid policy and inflation gallops around the world, China has seen its exports crumble, driving goods prices down. After two years of rapid economic growth in 2020 and 2021, China’s export market is experiencing a dangerous decline.

HOLLAND - Dutch farmers are expanding their protests against the government’s climate agenda. Dutch lawmakers were voting on proposals that would likely lead to many farmers being forced to stop farming. The ruling coalition called for cutting emissions of pollutants by 50% by 2030, this would target the livestock of farmers. Farmers protested around the Netherlands as lawmakers voted Tuesday on proposals to slash emissions of damaging pollutants, a plan that will likely force farmers to cut their livestock herds or stop work altogether. The ruling coalition wants to cut emissions of pollutants, predominantly nitrogen oxide and ammonia, by 50% nationwide by 2030. Ministers call the proposal an “unavoidable transition” that aims to improve air, land and water quality. They warn that farmers will have to adapt or face the prospect of shuttering their businesses. Dutch Farmers have taken to the street in protest with many showing their support for the farmers. In some cases, the protests have turned violent.

USA - Gas and food prices soar under Joe Biden and the regime admits it’s on purpose. The current price for a gallon of regular gas in the United States hit $4.84 on Friday before the 4th of July Weekend. This is more than twice the cost from two years ago. Gas prices under Joe Biden have exploded! The cost is destroying the Middle Class and it does not look like the price will be easing anytime soon. In response to these record prices, Joe Biden’s Director of the National Economic Council on Thursday told CNN, “This is about the future of the Liberal World Order and we have to stand firm.” Joe Biden admitted that the current record gas crisis in America is ALL ON PURPOSE during a speech to reporters in Japan in May. That was back when gas was “only at” a record $4.60 per gallon. Joe Biden told reporters, “When it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an INCREDIBLE transition… And, God willing, when it’s over we’ll be less reliant on fossil fuels.”
