Pearls of expression.
It is one of the great mysteries—or perhaps I should say it is one of the reliable reminders of human imperfection—that higher education often fosters a particular form of political stupidity [“the repudiation of inheritance and home”].[1] There is abroad in the land the poisonous notion that government at all levels should naturally have “partners” …

More on deliberate destruction.
[G. Edward Griffin, author of The Creature from Jekyll Island] says, “The Federal Reserve is the cause of inflation… When you have a central bank that creates as much money as it wants to, it’s a scam.” Griffin contends that today’s rampant inflation is constricting anyone who isn’t wealthy. He says, “The middle class is …

Pearls of expression.
Oil Price[s] acts like [they’re] managed by Klaus Schwab, George Soros, Bill Gates, the Biden Regime, Lindsey Graham, the ghost of John McCain, and Greta Thunberg. [They are the result of] Russophobic, cheerlead[er]s for “green” “energy”, and [these cheerleaders are] consistently wrong about everything related to energy. Case in point: Now the country [Germany] faces …

Just what are we celebrating today?
We won our independence from England but do we really have any of our freedoms left? After 1865 the American government’s “just” powers were no longer derived from the consent of the governed, as Jefferson so eloquently stated in the Declaration of Independence, but by the whims of politicians and bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. and …

Deliberate destruction.
Food production and the fossil fuel industries are not the only ones on the globalists’ chopping block. Last weekend I was invited to a zoom call with the German firebrand “MEP Christine Anderson.” who gave us a brief report about the recent vote in the EU parliament to extend the Covid pass requirement for another …

Astonishment ensues.
Astonishment among the clueless, vicious, arrogant bastards at the U.S. Department of State, that is. If only we had had some warning. Some inkling of trouble. Some premonition. [Shrug emoji.] I could point out that in all of Putin’s public statements during the months preceding the special operation, there is not the slightest evidence that …

Pearls of expression.
These days, this place on the planet that used to be a nation groans under a tribulation of bad ideas, bad choices, bad conduct, bad management, and bad faith. We have not been so ripe for regime change since 1776. A ruling Party of Chaos is doing absolutely everything to disorder our lives and there …

Pearls of expression. — anti-“1619 Project” edition.
The 1619 Project is a more detailed version of the “we built this country” claim, and it is rooted in the same solipsism and indignation that motivates most black political and cultural commentary. Giving blacks credit for America’s achievements is like giving a hospital’s janitors credit for a successful heart transplant. In a sane age, …

Trust the experts.
Last year, the International Energy Agency made headlines by calling for an end to new oil and gas exploration by the end of the year. A few months later, the IEA was calling for more oil.[1] They see far into the future. In the Pearls of expression. category we have: Taking care of the demand …

How rude.
But “rude” does no mean “inaccurate.” The truth is, reserve currency status has nothing to do with “the size and strength” of America’s post-industrial, service-oriented, bubble-driven, third-world-sh**hole economy. Nor does it have anything to do with the alleged safety of US Treasuries” which– next to the dollar– is the biggest Ponzi flim-flam of all time. …

The Weather Channel on “climate change.” Beatin’ it like a rented mule.
H/t: Don Imus for the rented mule quip. They never ever quit: 5/31/22 — “Cutting Carbon Dioxide Emissions Alone Won’t Keep Warming in Check, Says Study.” “Carbon dioxide emissions are commonly thought to be what’s driving climate change and while they are the most widespread there are other pollutants doing just as much damage.” 5/31/22 …

Hostility and betrayal at every turn.
Europeans could have cheaper energy, both for heating and driving, but their leaders won’t allow that. They decided that energy prices will be high, very high; so you’ll feel every degree of Centigrade/Fahrenheit in your pocket. Putin stated the Europeans miscalculated when they decided to abandon traditional fuels. Perhaps he said so out of kindness, …

The “we’re all going to die” narrative. Version 87.01.
More climate change hysteria from The Weather Channel: 5/4/22 — “Why Are Some Beaches Expanding, Despite Sea Level Rise?” “With sea levels rising due to climate change you might think that beaches are disappearing . . . .” You might think that because of their constant harping on rising sea levels. 5/4/22 — “Parts of …

A reckoning in the offing.
Tim Knight of Slope of Hope, a technical analysis site, has an interesting piece about the immediate spot of housecleaning likely to result in the wake of the forthcoming bit of market bumpiness. Well, to be precise, he describes this as a “financial cataclysm” brought about by the modern American religion of kissing every boo …

There’s that.
That this “Defensive Alliance” [sic] of 30 members takes ZERO issue with the criminal activities of its Head Member demonstrates that it is a corrupt a lawless Organization in totality. Bloody Coups effected by its lead member go unquestioned Invasions + Wars of Aggression by its lead member go unquestioned Civilian deaths + destruction of …

Pearls of expression.
The Russians are a weird people. For some reason, known only to their bizarre selves, they object to German invasions of their country. And not only that: they have the inexplicable habit of strenuously opposing another such eventuality. “Nuclear War?” By Walter E. Block, ZeroHedge, 4/28/22.

Dr. Pippa Malmbren “says the quite part out loud.”
Please watch the video — “Globalists Spill the Beans at the World Government Summit – #Newworldnextweek – The Corbett Report” — from the beginning to at least the 3:27 mark. Sounds like a done deal except for the part where your bank account evaporates. Who are these swine and who decides this garbage for the …
