USA - There are many people across the country looking at everything that’s taken place over the past 10-15 years and asking, “What happened?” It’s obvious to many that this is no longer the country our parents knew. As a Baby Boomer, it’s NOT the country I once knew. America has a broken moral compass. We’ve lost our common sense. Things that would have been laughed at as being absurd a decade ago are now doctrines that could destroy your life because you disagree. “Men can now get pregnant”; “masking, social distancing, and vaccines will prevent COVID”; “the George Floyd riots were mostly peaceful.” These are just a few examples, although “Trump was a Russian asset” and “Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation” were a few of my personal favourites.

USA - The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued new guidance pushing for babies to receive three unlicensed Covid mRNA shots before they are nine months old. However, COVID-19 poses virtually no risk to children and infants, vaccinated or otherwise. In addition, there are no licensed Covid vaccines for children aged 12 and under. Yet, according to the CDC, nine-month-old babies can only be considered “up to date” if they receive multiple doses of the mRNA injections. Yet, despite the CDC’s recommendations, the latest Pfizer and Moderna mRNA injections are not licensed in the United States for children under 12.

GERMANY - The new Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) has won double-digit support in state elections in Thuringia and Saxony. While some of its positions overlap with the far right, it draws voters away from other political parties. Sahra Wagenknecht, one of Germany's most divisive political figures, has seen a resounding success in two state elections, even though she is not on the ballot. In both Saxony and Thuringia, the Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) — which the former Left Party parliamentary leader founded in January — ended up well ahead of the parties that make up Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition government: the Social Democrats (SPD), Greens and the neoliberal Free Democrats (FDP). Espousing an unusual mix of left-wing economic policy and anti-migration rhetoric, the BSW is now set to play a part in government building in the two eastern German states, where the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) won over 30% on Sunday.

GERMANY - The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) wants to be part of new governments in Saxony and Thuringia. Some of its key demands have been rejected by potential coalition partners. Could the new party still be a kingmaker? "We have become a power player in Germany," Sahra Wagenknecht said at her first press conference following state elections in Saxony and Thuringia on Sunday. In both states, the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) party she founded in January came in third. Now comes the business of forming new governments. And if parties are to do this without the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), as all have pledged, the new BSW could become a kingmaker. "The people, and I have noticed this on the campaign trail, are putting great hope in us," emphasized Wagenknecht. The success of the BSW shows how few people still trust in the established parties, and how many voters feel let down.

GERMANY - Germany’s government announced plans to impose tighter controls at all of the country’s land borders in what it called an attempt to tackle irregular migration and protect the public from threats such as Islamist extremism. The controls within what is normally a wide area of free movement – the European Schengen zone – will start on September 16 and initially last for six months, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said on Monday. The government has also designed a scheme enabling authorities to reject more migrants directly at German borders, Faeser said, without adding details on the controversial and legally fraught move. The restrictions are part of a series of measures Germany has taken to toughen its stance on irregular migration in recent years following a surge in arrivals, in particular people fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East. Recent deadly knife attacks in which the suspects were asylum seekers have stoked concerns over immigration.

GERMANY - With the recent AfD victory in Thuringia and strong showing in Saxony, the German Globalist mainstream parties are in a panic, scrambling to counter the relentless surging of the rightwing forces in the country. And it’s not like they don’t know what’s wrong with their policies and in what way they differ from what the population really wants – they are just not prepared to abandon the Brussels line in favor of some common sense for a change. But they now have to at least pretend to do it, to try and stop AfD from growing before it’s too late. So now, Germany’s deeply unpopular government has announced plans to impose ‘temporary’ tighter controls at all of the country’s land borders. This comes after an Islamist terrorist stabbed and killed three people, injuring eight more.

GERMANY - The German establishment is desperately clinging to power in defiance of democracy. Like in France, there is an open and crude effort to deny voters their democratic choice. Over in Saxony, the CDU barely squeaked out a win against the AfD, with results currently showing them both at 31%. There, again, the governing establishment Social Democrats were clobbered, coming in at just 7.5% support. The anti-establishment left split the vote between Bundestag parliamentarian Sahra Wagenknecht’s brand new BSW coalition (15.6% in Thuringia and 11.5% in Saxony) and Die Linkie, whose collective success suggests that the vote was more about a rejection of the establishment on all sides and only secondarily a right/left ideological one – just like in France. The idea of electoral losers adamantly working to deny voters their democratic choice seems to be a new trend in Europe as the populist right- and left-wing parties start racking up electoral wins.

USA - The city of Springfield, Ohio - population 60,000, has been overwhelmed by roughly 20,000 Haitian illegal migrants, who flocked to the city - exacerbating a 'significant housing crisis' according to city officials, and eating pets and wildlife according to locals. Another local told the city that she "can't take it anymore," as Haitian migrants are littering on her yard and harassing she and her husband. Resident Glenda Bailey told the city "They have become the occupiers. What they've done is they've replaced the population in Springfield." In July, city manager Bryan Heck wrote to leaders of the Senate Banking Committee asking for more federal funding. "Springfield has seen a surge in population through immigration that has significantly impacted our ability as a community to produce enough housing opportunities for all," he wrote.

UNITED NATIONS - The UN wants much more control over global affairs, and “the Pact for the Future” which is scheduled to be adopted during “the Summit of the Future” that will be held on September 22nd and 23rd will go a long way toward making that a reality. But even though “the Summit of the Future” is just days away, hardly anyone is talking about it and the mainstream media is almost entirely ignoring it. Enormous decisions that could dramatically affect the future of everyone on the entire planet are about to be made, and just about the entire population has absolutely no idea what is going on.

INDONESIA - Pope Francis is embarking upon a 12-day trip through four nations in Southeast Asia and Oceania. His intent with the voyage is to pledge the Catholic Church will combat religious violence while inspiring stronger ties to other religions. On Thursday, the Associated Press reported the Pope made his first stop in Jakarta, Indonesia, home to the largest Muslim population in the world. A notable moment came when the Pope — in a wheelchair — appeared next to Indonesia’s grand imam, Nasaruddin Umar, at the entrance to the “Tunnel of Friendship” which connects Istiqlal Mosque to the nearby Catholic Cathedral, Our Lady of the Assumption. It was here that the Pope received a kiss on the head from the Imam while kissing his hand in response.

USA - There is an ominous development gaining momentum across the world’s financial systems which has the potential to undermine monetary and personal freedom, yet which remains largely under the radar for most of the world’s population.

USA - Investigative journalist James O’Keefe has obtained leaked US Army documents revealing the growing threat of the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua (TDA) in New York City. The Tren de Aragua, one of Venezuela’s most dangerous gangs, has reportedly established a foothold in key neighborhoods across Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Williamsburg, with an estimated 400 members currently residing in those areas.

GERMANY - The CDU chief has had a smooth lead but he must act to halt the march of far-right voters before the general election. One year before the next general election, his Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has enjoyed a comfortable lead for months with about 32% support, nearly double the score of its nearest competitors, as the fractious government led by Social Democrat Olaf Scholz plumbs new depths of disfavour. But the chance at the chancellery Merz has been dreaming of since the 1990s has hit turbulence stemming from the country’s inescapable 20th-century history.

UK - Domestic abuse survivors are facing 'sleepless nights' ahead of Labour's mass prisoner release next week, a government advisor has warned and said victims are 'paying the price' for the UK's overcrowded jails. The government's early-release scheme will see prisoners automatically freed after serving between 40 to 45 per cent of their prison time as ministers attempt to tackle the overcrowding crisis in UK prisons. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer previously told the BBC no high-risk prisoners will be released, but confessed the risk could not be entirely quashed. He added on Sunday: 'We are doing everything we can to make sure that high-risk and domestic abusers, domestic violence cases are not released.'

USA - Warren Buffett Has Been Selling Off Hundreds Of Millions Of Shares In 2024. Warren Buffett did not become a billionaire by being stupid. According to Forbes, Buffett is worth more than 144 billion dollars, and that makes him one of the wealthiest men in the entire world. He made his money on the stock market, and so why is he now pulling money out of the stock market at a feverish pace? Does he anticipate that a crash is coming? Earlier this year, Buffett shocked the investing community when his company sold off half the Apple shares that it was holding…Warren Buffett is clearly concerned about the short-term future. He has been dumping hundreds of millions of shares, and it appears that this could end up being one of the best moves of his entire career.
