Faith Leaders Have a Lack of Faith

Posted by M. C. on February 21, 2024

By Laurence M. Vance

They have a lack of faith in the ability of the Bible, the Gospel, and their religion to convince people of the moral, spiritual, and financial dangers of gambling.

It is unfortunate that many religious people look to the government to enforce their moral code and do what they are not able to accomplish by prayer and persuasion.

Former congressman Ron Paul has well said: “Those with moral objections to gambling have the right to try to persuade their fellow citizens to not gamble. What they do not have the right to do is use government force to stop people from engaging in activities, like gambling, that do not involve force or fraud.”

Faith Leaders Have a Lack of Faith

The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers weren’t the only winners and losers on Super Bowl Sunday. According to online gaming industry news site Legal Sports Report, Americans were expected to bet $1.3 billion on the Super Bowl.

Thanks to a Supreme Court ruling in 2018 that struck down a federal law prohibiting sports gambling in most states, betting on sports is now legal in thirty-eight states. The states where sports betting remains illegal are Alabama, Alaska, California, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Utah. Some “faith leaders” want to keep it that way.

Greg Davis is a Baptist pastor and president of the Alabama Citizens Action Program. He opposes “any changes to the state’s constitution, which bans lotteries and most forms of gambling,” although “he knows that people bet informally on sports in Alabama.” He considers sports gambling to be both “harmful and addictive” and “a threat to the integrity of sports.”

Laura Everett is executive director of the Massachusetts Council of Churches. She said that “faith leaders who raise questions about the downsides of legalized gambling can feel like they are facing overwhelming odds.” She is concerned that “sports leagues have become too cozy with the gambling industry.” She believes that “faith groups that don’t agree on all kinds of other issues can find common ground in raising concerns about the ubiquity of sports gambling.”

Four States Race To Stop ‘Great Taking’ of All Bank Accounts, Stocks, Bonds, Pensions Before Financial/Election Apocalypse

Posted by M. C. on February 20, 2024

But financial journalist Ellen Brown has alerted the public that bottom line the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), which provides for such a confiscatory takeover of assets, is ratified on a state-by-state basis,

By Wayne Lusvardi

Four States Race To Stop ‘Great Taking’ of All Bank Accounts, Stocks, Bonds, Pensions Before Financial/Election Apocalypse

The good news is this “great taking” can be stopped at the state level. Americans don’t need to count on a divided Congress to get the job done. Because the UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) is state law, state lawmakers can take concrete steps to restore the property rights of their constituents and protect them in the event of a financial crisis – Ellen Brown, Diffusing the Derivatives Time Bomb: Some Proposed Solutions, Feb. 14, 2024.

Presently four relatively small states, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska and Delaware, are trying to stop the burning fuse of a financial bomb that could cause a legally provided raid on all stock, bond and bank account investments from its residents, businesses, and pension funds in their jurisdictions. This financial bomb is to confiscate assets for losses on purely unrelated speculative gambling bets in the Derivatives Market, not from any genuine risk hedging (as insurance) to protect those financial resources.

No known movement is underway to stop this crime-of-all-crimes mainly by the renegade New York Reserve bank which was one of the main instigators of the COVID Pandemic and lockdowns. For example, of the twelve regional Federal Reserve banks, the New York Fed is running a $71 billion loss ($71,190 x 1,000,000 = $71,190,000,000) or 75% of all the accrued losses for just 2024 in all 12 fed reserve banks.  And the New York, Richmond and Chicago Fed Banks reflect 96% of all 2024 only deficits, not accrued past deficits (see “How to Recapitalize the Federal Reserve”, Alex J. Pollock and Paul J. Kupiec, Law and Liberty, Feb. 1, 2024.

By comparison only the Atlanta Fed Reserve Bank is effectively solvent, indicating that the losses are near system wide, but do not necessarily need to be so.  The Atlanta Fed encompasses Georgia (R), Florida (R), Tennessee (R), Louisiana (R), and Alabama (R).  On February 12, 2024, an Arizona senate committee advanced a bill to create gold bullion depository bank for gold-backed transactional currency within the state following the lead of Texas in 2017.

This future kleptocratic event has been called “The Great Taking” by David Webb a former New York hedge fund manager and apparent absconder living in the Netherlands, in a documentary by the same name he produced. Suspicion is that this plausible world transforming event for takeover of the world’s assets is what the COVID-epidemic and lockdowns were aimed to get us to submit to without opposition by getting us to voluntarily trust in COVID injections as virtue signaling for the common good.

A hedge is when, say, a farmer buys an investment position (based on price differentials) in the financial market that would cover any losses he might incur from bad weather, or unpredictable dropping market prices, that could wipe out the future profitability of his crop. Conversely, a false hedge or bet, called an “difference contract”, is made in the same hedge fund market but purely for gain or to recover against gambling losses (see Michael William, The Ponzi Class: Ponzi Economics, Globalization and Class Oppression in the 21st Century, 2015).  Financial assets in all other states are also subject to confiscation likely to be prior to the upcoming national election.

Washington, Pro-Democracy? Depends on the Country

Posted by M. C. on February 20, 2024

Yet again following a foreign policy guided by a rules-based order that only applies the law when it benefits the United States and its allies, instead of a foreign policy guided by international law that applies the same universal standard impartially, the U.S. has confirmed the worst suspicions of a global majority that is losing faith in American leadership.

by Ted Snider

https://libertarianinstitute.org/articles/washington-pro-democracy-depends-on-the-country

Pakistan just held an election; Venezuela is about to. Both incumbent governments have banned the leading opposition figure from competing. The United States sanctioned one and was silent on the other. What was the difference? Not international law or responsible leadership, both of which require a consistent application of laws and a consistent response. The important difference was that the United States supported the incumbent coup government in one case and opposed the incumbent coup survivor in the other.

On January 30, the United States reversed the small and rare diplomatic progress it had made with Venezuela by revoking the sanction relief on gold mining and by promising to revoke the sanction relief on Venezuela’s oil and gas sector at the first opportunity. The State Department cited “Actions by Nicolas Maduro and his representatives in Venezuela, including the arrest of members of the democratic opposition and the barring of candidates from competing in this year’s presidential election” as the reason.

Of central concern to the United States was its choice of an opposition leader to run against Nicolás Maduro, Maria Corina Machado, who recently appeared before a roundtable organized by the U.S. House of Representatives’ Foreign Affairs subcommittee. On January 26, Venezuela’s highest court upheld the decision to bar Machado from running for president in the upcoming election.

But Machado was banned for reasons that might be considered reasonable in some democracies. She has a long history of being involved in coups against the democratically elected government of Venezuela. During the failed 2002 coup against Hugo Chavez, Machado was a signatory to the Carmona Decree, which suspended democracy, revoked the constitution, and installed a coup president.

Bethlehem’s 5,000-year-old olive tree threatened by Israeli settlements

Posted by M. C. on February 20, 2024

Salah Abu Ali’s tree was producing fruit long before the Abrahamic religions were born, but is at risk of being destroyed in the push for land

In 2011, Abu Ali’s land was divided in two by the construction of the wall, meaning he can no longer harvest his olive trees on the Israeli side without a significant detour. He relies on the goodwill of soldiers to let him across during the harvest season, something that is not always in ready supply. “It’s a nightmare,” he said,

Salah Abu Ali fears he may be cut off from al-Badawi, the ancient olive tree on his grove
Salah Abu Ali fears he may be cut off from al-Badawi, the ancient olive tree on his grove

In the West Bank village of al-Walaja, on the outskirts of Bethlehem, there is a tree that is older than any of the Abrahamic religions.

When Moses led the Jews out of Egypt, the olive on Salah Abu Ali’s farm had been producing fruit for almost two millennia.

Three thousand years of rain, wind and drought had failed to kill it by the time of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. And when the prophet Muhammad was said to be first visited by an angel in Arabia in AD610, the tree had long been at the centre of various beliefs held by Semitic-speaking peoplesThe tree has survived droughts, earthquakes and wars but is under threat from encroaching settlements

In 2010, Japanese and Italian scientists carbon-dated the al-Badawi tree to be between 4,000 and 5,000 years old, which would make it the second oldest olive in the world after a grove in northern Lebanon. Only its uppermost branches are visible, and the roots are thought to run up to 25m beneath the ground, fusing into a trunk somewhere below the surface.

But despite its longevity, the al-Badawi tree is at risk. For more than a decade, it has been confronted by the encroaching fence of a settlers’ road.

The Brain Drain

Posted by M. C. on February 20, 2024

by Jeff Thomas

Indeed, this has already begun for Americans – an “exit tax” that is to be paid on any wealth you presently have, even though you’ve already paid a stiff income tax on it.

The Brain Drain

In 1933, Albert Einstein renounced his German citizenship soon after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor. Although that left him without a legal home, he was welcomed in England and later, the US, and eventually became a US citizen in 1935.

This was quite a risky move at the time, as he had no certainty of a better life outside of Germany, or even a prospective job. But he saw the writing on the wall. As a man of reason, he focused not on the present condition in Germany, but where events would ultimately lead. His focus was on the Germany of the future and he made a difficult call that those with less vision might not have made.

In 1940, Ludwig von Mises was perhaps the most gifted economist in Austria, as well as being a visionary of libertarian thinking. But he left Austria in that year. The Nazi expansion was already under way and he understood that, if anything, he was leaving late in the game, but before it became impossible to leave. On that day, Austria lost one of its best minds.

When Fidel Castro came suddenly to power on 1st January 1959, many business leaders understood immediately what effect that would have on them in the future and made a hasty exit from Cuba. Then, in the following years, as the socialist confiscations of businesses and property began to take place, larger numbers of businessmen made their exit. In the end, hundreds of thousands left.

Many similar examples can be studied, evidencing that, when a systemic collapse is imminent and, even more so, after it has begun, it’s invariably the best and brightest that choose to head for the exit doors first.

In most cases, it begins with a few forward-thinking people making their exit, followed by a small wave of others who see what’s coming. That wave is followed by a larger wave, made up of those who need a bit more evidence of decline before they see the writing on the wall. After that, the waves become ever-larger, as the most inventive and productive people realise that they may become collateral damage of the decline.

But why should this be? Is it coincidence that the greatest contributors to a society leave prior to a major decline, or does it simply seem that way after the fact – after they’ve been proven to be correct?

Well, if we observe any society, we learn that the bottom 10% tend to contribute very little. Indeed, they tend to be a drag on the economy and to remain so throughout their lives.

Then there’s the main bulk of society – say, 60% – who merely accept whatever the leaders dictate. They may complain that they want more, but for the most part, as long as they don’t experience extreme hardships, they accept their lot in life and tend not to be especially analytical. Therefore, when a systemic decline is in the works, they tend not to notice, as they’re not in the habit of analysing change.

Then there are the people at the management level – say, 20% – who are more expansive in their thinking. They tend to be the class of people who, whatever their field of expertise, make day-to-day analysis and day-to-day decisions.

At the top, there are those who consistently think outside the box – the Einsteins, the Mises, etc., who are gifted and are capable of perceiving the larger picture. They’re also the visionaries, who are capable of imagining and planning a greater future.

Not surprisingly, it’s this group that recognise the coming danger first, since they habitually analyse events. The decline is simply the next series of events.

An Anti-Russian Europe Is a Europe That Destroys Itself!

Posted by M. C. on February 19, 2024

This European Union is demonizing the country that saved it from Nazi-fascist terror by rewriting its past, desecrating its dead, misrepresenting its thinking and conspiring with its achievements.

A European Union that — as a neoliberal globalist project — disregards national sovereignty, defeated precisely by the antagonistic relationship it develops against a country that, above all, strives to defend its national sovereignty! And NATO beware… It too shares the same identity with the EU, the same original sin!

An Anti-Russian Europe Is a Europe That Destroys Itself!

Hugo Dionísio

According to Syrsky, the new commander-in-chief of Kiev’s troops, the lives of Ukrainian soldiers are the most important thing the army has. An assumption that was only made when it became obvious to everyone that there was no chance of victory in a direct fight against Russia.

As long as it was possible to feed the idea that „Ukraine was beating Russia“, when it was Russia that had the initiative — and never lost it — the lives of Ukrainian soldiers were worth little. Men — and some women — in their hundreds of thousands were thrown into muddy trenches, poorly fed and with ammunition in short supply, against an opponent who never lacked anything.

The fact is that when the Kiev forces had combat capability — not to be confused with „the ability to win“ — the official communication was that „Ukraine was winning the war“; when it became clear that the cost of fighting the Russian forces was so high that it could not be sustained, the pro-Kiev media, financed by Uncle Sam’s NGOs and primary sources of Western official information, began to say „Ukraine cannot lose the war“; when it could no longer be hidden that the „counter-offensive“ had failed and with it, the hopes — fanciful — of a Kiev victory, we moved on to the „Ukraine and Russia are in a stalemate“ phase.

The Ukrainian reality, under the Kiev regime, is characterized by always being in direct contradiction with the Russian reality and, coincidentally, with the concrete observable reality. This is why the relationship between the two realities is an invaluable dialectical example from a pedagogical point of view.

While living with Russia, Ukraine has become one of the world’s greatest powers. There is not, and never has been, a successful Ukraine without Russia on its side. Vladimir Putin did not lie about the fact that Russia has always helped Ukraine. For those who don’t know, it wasn’t out of any kind of adventurism that the Donbass was annexed to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. In 1917, Ukraine was an eminently rural and de-industrialized region of the Russian empire, so, in 1918, in order to guarantee conditions for the territory’s development and, in this way, a more harmonious development of the nascent Soviet state, the Donbass became part of the Ukrainian Socialist Republic, as a way of guaranteeing the progress of the newly formed homeland.

Know Your Enemy

Posted by M. C. on February 19, 2024

– we must not underestimate them

Francis Christian

Examine the list below, of changes in Russian society the Bolsheviks brought about by force of decree and under threat of torture and death – and compare them with the governments, think tanks, media and leaders in our Western nations today and what they are trying to do to us:

How did this destructive ideology, so similar to what we see around us arrive and take root in the West? The latter shall be the subject of part 2 of this two-part essay.

https://francischristian.substack.com/p/know-your-enemy?publication_id=1007165&post_id=141750874&isFreemail=true&r=9atnc

A remarkable disappearing act has taken place in the last thirty odd years since the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991. Through a coordinated propaganda campaign by think tanks, legacy media, the internet and governments, the mass genocides, murders, terrors, tortures, incarcerations, disappearances, show trials, famines and multiplied miseries of Communism have been all but completely hidden from the masses.

You would think that a system that systematically and ruthlessly killed many more millions than the Nazis did and lasted for many more decades than the short, murderous rule of the third Reich would be the subject of numerous scholarly studies, retrospective news articles, actual narratives and case studies and dedicated academic departments. Clearly, this has not been the case – and there is instead a desire by the ruling classes to induce a sense of mass amnesia about the horrors of Communism. Why is this?

Hollywood has no doubt also played its part in this game of subterfuge and omission. There have been numerous well know, moving motion pictures about the terrors of the Holocaust in which millions of Slavs, Jews, Poles, Gypsies, homosexuals and the disabled were killed. Lest we forget, we must remember the evils of Naziism. But can you remember the last Hollywood generated motion picture that showed you the stories of the much greater number of people that the Bolsheviks (Russian Communists) put to death in the Soviet Union during the years of Communism? Or of the gulag prison system that the Bolsheviks invented to starve, torture and imprison political and other dissidents (and the many, stirring stories of defiance in the gulag, including those by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn). Or of the millions of Christians who were persecuted, imprisoned, tortured and put to death by the Communists? For example, why has there not been a Hollywood motion picture that describes the compelling story of the Christian pastor Richard Wurmbrand (my readers can read his breathtaking, heroic, true story in the 1970s era book, “Tortured for Christ”) who endured many years of torture under Communism? Some motion pictures that tell these stories were produced privately, but not by the marketing and financial juggernaut that is Hollywood. Why is this?

The answer is actually quite simple. The ideological descendants of the same people behind the murderous Bolshevik Communist regime that brought unspeakable suffering to millions of Russians and Eastern Europeans (before engulfing China and SE Asia in a similar convulsion), are in charge of our Western Governments and institutions today. The same players, the same playbook, the same international goals. They don’t want you to know of the connection of course – because if you do, the similarities are so stark that you will take notice and be enraged.

Speed. . . and. . . Action

Posted by M. C. on February 17, 2024

“It’s like every other two-minute clip I watch of this Fani Willis interview she admits to committing another felony.” — Senator JD Vance (R-OH)

By James Howard Kunstler

Speed. . . and. . . Action

Kunstler.com

Have you noticed yet that America has turned into a Coen Brothers movie? Everywhere you look, you see madcap characters disgracing themselves while doing their bit to burn the whole country down. It’s a panoramic extravaganza of everything gone wrong, with slapstick overtones, driving toward an apocalyptic climax — civil war, nuclear war, economic collapse, maybe all three. And all because the people on-screen just can’t stop lying.

Yesterday was Fani Willis’s turn, her big scene. The Fulton County, Georgia, DA, wasn’t even scheduled to testify, but she barged into Judge Scott McAfee’s courtroom and seized possession of the witness stand, like it was home-base in a game of ringolevio. This was after the morning vivisection of her boyfriend, the feckless Nathan Wade, testifying to the couple’s fun-filled romantic travels during the months they were supposedly busy constructing a racketeering case against Donald Trump and eighteen others scooped into their dragnet.

The reason the lovebirds could take so much time cavorting across the Caribbean and California — vineyard tours featuring “pairings of champagne, chocolate, and caviar,” Ms. Willis testified — is because their Fulton County case was entirely prepped for them out of DC by Mary McCord, the veteran blob lawyer active in every Get-Trump hoax cooked up since 2016. (And I’d bet cash-money that she had plenty of assistance from Lawfare blobsters Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissmann.) The complex particulars of the case were all teed up, ready to go. All Ms. Willis and her lead prosecutor, Mr. Wade, had to do was get the trial date set, raise the curtain, and follow the script.

Alas, the couple got carried away in the raptures of amour and, all of a sudden, we’re in something like The Real Housewives of Atlanta. And then they lied about the details under oath, especially around the money involved. If they are not disqualified from participating in the Trump “racketeering” case — in which their own behavior would be centerpiece evidence of an ineptly tainted and malicious prosecution — and/or if the case is not tossed summarily, then it will have to be removed to another county and most likely delayed until after the 2024 elections. Nice work, Party of Chaos!

That little opéra bouffe is but one sub-plot in the larger scenario. Also this week, the scandal of the century was re-kindled when alt-news reporters Taibbi, Shellenberger, and Guttentag filed the story of how Barack Obama and CIA Director John Brennan, with his chore girls, Avril Haines and Gina Haspel, cooked up the RussiaGate caper and fed it to the FBI, with a major assist from The New York Times, the WashPo, CNN, and other useful idiot news media vectors. All of this had actually been well-documented for years, but the reporters dredged up new corroboration from disgusted blob insiders further clarifying the origins of the hoax.

Many Reporters Paid for Covering the Russiagate Story

Posted by M. C. on February 17, 2024

Media figures who exposed illegal surveillance, manufactured intelligence, and other abuses in the Trump-Russia investigation almost always paid a price

https://www.racket.news/p/many-reporters-paid-for-covering

Matt Taibbi

Christopher Steele’s reports burned many reporters, who in turn burned those who got it right.

Three years ago, on February 25th, 2021, Aaron Maté at RealClearInvestigations ran “In Final Days, Trump Gave Up on Forcing Release of Russiagate Files, Nunes Prober Says.” Extensively quotingformer Principal Deputy to the Acting Director of National Intelligence Kash Patel, Aaron wrote a section on “Assessing the ‘Intelligence Community Assessment,’” detailing a lot of the same story Michael Shellenberger, Alexandra Gutentag and I ran in Public and Racket Thursday. Describing a 2018 House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) report on the subject, Aaron wrote:

The March 2018 House report found that the production of the ICA “deviated from established CIA practice.” And the core judgment that Putin sought to help Trump, the House report found, resulted from “significant intelligence tradecraft failings that undermine confidence in the ICA judgments.”

Many of us who followed this story — a number of reporters on both sides of the aisle did so obsessively — have long had a good idea about the general direction of that House investigation. The tale of improper CIA and FBI surveillance mixed with manufactured intelligence has been in the ether since late 2017 and early 2018.

I’ll list just a few of the names who reported stories in this direction over the years, in some cases day after day on broadcast shows. An attentive reader will notice nearly everyone on the list has been denounced at some point by the mainstream commentators who got this story horribly wrong. Aaron, considered a traitor by former mainstream colleagues, faced pressure from staff at The Nation, was denounced by The Guardian as part of a “network of conspiracy theorists,” and failed to gain support from any major media outlet or press advocacy organization when the FBI passed on an outrageous request from Ukrainian secret services to remove him from Twitter.

Others who got this story right but were singled out for dismissal or ridicule include:

  • former CIA officer Ray McGovern, who was called “fringe” and “conspiracy-mongering” by Max Boot, a member of the illustrious club of pundits who botched both the Steele dossier and Iraqi WMD stories;
  • former NYPD officer and Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, who has been on this subject for years and was called a “misinformation superspreader” by the New York Times after the 2020 election;
  • Intercept founder Glenn Greenwald, denounced as a pathological bigot for dissenting on Trump-Russia themes, and ultimately forced out of his own publication for writing critically of Hunter Biden and Burisma without adequately addressing the question of “Russia’s hand”;
  • former CIA operative Larry Johnson, who said years ago that the surveillance campaign began with the GCHQ, Britain’s version of the NSA, in 2015 and was among the first to say publicly what our source just told us, that there is intelligence suggesting Maltese professor and supposed Russian asset Joseph Mifsud was British intelligence. He’s naturally been denounced as a “conspiracy theorist”;
  • Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, declared “bonkers” by the Daily Beast, perhaps the most aggressive promoter of the “collusion” theory and one of the most dependable producers of factually dubious stories on this subject in the mainstream press landscape;
  • author Lee Smith, the major chronicler of the HPSCI work (more to come on this), who naturally was ripped for “conspiracy theory” for publishing a book on the subject;
  • Pulitzer-winner Jeff Gerth, who wrote a 24,000-word deconstruction of Trump-Russia coverage in the Columbia Journalism Review that included a quote from Bob Woodward saying the media needed to “walk down the painful road of introspection.” He was called a “Trump-Russia denialist” who “can’t handle the truth,” by David Corn of Mother Jones, one of the first people to publish the phony Steele-blackmail story;
  • another RealClear writer, Paul Sperry, who wrote about CIA chief John Brennan overruling dissent to create the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment. Sperry popped up in the Twitter Files when the office of California congressman Adam Schiff, who infamously said he had “more than circumstantial” evidence of collusion, asked to have Sperry banned;
  • Professor Margot Cleveland of The Federalist and Chuck Ross of the Daily Signal, who both got this right and were both marked “unreliable” by Pentagon-funded NewsGuard;
  • former The Hill and current JustTheNews writer John Solomon, who published a significant amount of the key documents in this matter, and was the subject of a poisonous media campaign that crested particularly during the period of the first Trump impeachment;
  • citizen investigators like the Racket-profiled “Sleuth’s Corner” of @Walkafyre, @TECHNO_FOG, @RyanM58699717, @climateaudit, @FOOL_NELSON, and @Hmmm57474203. This group who uncovered the name of the “primary sub-source” of famed British ex-spy Christopher Steele, Igor Danchenko, not only went roundly uncredited, but was immediately accused in the New York Times of putting Danchenko “in Russia’s sights” by Virginia Senator Mark Warner.

There are countless others.

TGIF: Trump Loves NATO

Posted by M. C. on February 17, 2024

How can that be? Look at his record. He’s called for expanding NATO to the Middle East! (He said it would allow the U.S. government to disengage, but how likely would that be?) During the Trump administration, North Macedonia joined joined the alliance. (Another country for potential American rescue, thank you very much.)
