The Insanity of the Globalist Elites: They Want a Nuclear War.

This is not some conspiracy theory. The Biden government have just given permission for Ukraine to use American-supplied Missiles inside Russian territory. 

If that isn't a provocation, an escalation, a slap in the face for Russia, I don't know what is. 

There are rules that prevent escalations of conventional war and the Biden administration have pushed beyond what most people would consider safe and sane.

Russia already look at the NATO expansion up to their border as a provocation. How are they now going to view American weapons falling INSIDE Russia? Weapons specifically supplied to Ukraine for the express purpose of fighting Russia?

I would say Russia would see that very badly. 

But here's the issue: why would the Biden government risk an escalation? Are they trying to create a scenario where they stay in power indefinitely? Biden hasn't a hope in hell of winning the Presidential election (in a straight election that is), so are they really insane enough to start a shooting war with Russia just to stay in power?

I know that the elites of the world have been building survival bunkers very seriously over the past 5 years now, but is that the plan? Is that the best they could come up with?

I suppose it aligns with the whole death cult/population reduction thing, but do they not understand that there will be nothing left? This is the very definition of scorched Earth. With a half life as the kicker.

They may think they can survive to eventually set up a new World government in the ashes of the nuclear holocaust, but that's a very unlikely scenario. These people are not doers, they are thinkers. You cannot think you way to global domination after a nuclear war. 

What do you do? Fly to New Zealand, sit in your bunker for a few years, emerge and then what? You're stuck unless your private jet is in the bunker with you and enough fuel to fly somewhere and back again. Because don't expect where you want to go to not be an irradiated chuck of glass.  Have a sail boat? Where? Or do you just sit on New Zealand and declare yourself leader in some Lord of the Flies remake with septuagenarians? How are those liver spots going to react to an irradiated landscape? Did you bring your medical team in the bunker with you? Or did you just stockpile Iodine and hope for the best?

I can't believe how irresponsible the Biden administration are right now. This is not posturing, this is not virtue signalling, this action has real-life consequences. Not just for America and the American public, but for the world. 

America Use Strategic Fuel Reserves.

Following on from the post about China, I see the US is now dipping into it's strategic fuel reserves in order to lower the price of fuel at the pumps. Reserves that are held for contingencies like war or disasters.

If I was a betting man, I'd put money on China invading Taiwan in the next 28 days. 

Because by using strategic reserves, the US limits its ability to wage war. Maybe by a small amount, but an amount that could be crucial is a shooting war. After all, ships need oil to get to Taiwan, planes need fuel to fly, tanks need fuel to fight....

Curtail that ability by any amount and your adversary will see it as a weakness. 

Weakening an already weak American military thanks to wokeism, vaccine mandates, military malfeasance and general political interference is not a good idea just as your primary adversary gains strategic parity. Plus Christmas and New Year are the ideal times to attack while the USA military stands down for the holidays and lets servicemen away on leave. 

I assume that Mark Milley will be on the phone to China letting them know that " this really, in no substantial way affects our ability to wage war, so don't you guys go invading Taiwan now y'hear?". Of course giving the exact opposite message to the Chinese.

USA: Watch The farms

 So, Biden has become President of the USA. Make no mistake this is an old-style Presidency, with the corporations once again asserting dominance.

Trump was a disruptor, a circuit breaker, an aberration amongst a litany of corporate frontmen.

Biden is a step further along the road to corporate authoritarianism.  It's well known the corporations want control of farming. the last big push in that direction was the GM crop fight. Corporations selling modified seed to farms that locked them into contracts and prevented them from growing out their own seed.

Now with a leftist leaning President in charge and an even further left Vice President, I'm convinced the corporations, backed by the Government will go after the farms of the USA directly. It's happened in every newly-far-left "Socialist" country, because the farms are free, they are not reliant on the state. From Zimbabwe, to South Africa, to Venezuela. The farms are a target for the state (Government and Corporations combined) . 

The farms of the last bastion of freedom, of self-sufficiency. They cannot be bent to the state's will easily. 

When the state tries to control the farms, then you will know the measure of the Biden administration, the nature of the corporatist state the Biden Presidency may have unleashed.

Not just in the USA, it seems members of the global elites are buying up farms globally. To what ends? 

I'm sure the like of Bill Gates thinks they are modernising third world farming to help the world, but all it does is hand agriculture over to the big corporations and their global controls. Converting smallholdings into huge mega-farms, using corporate fertilisers, corporate GMO seeds, creating huge profits and controlling (ergo increasing) food costs around the world. 

USA 2020: Why Trump almost lost the Election (and could still lose it)

Trump's main failing prior to the presidential election was to not deal with the persuasive nature of the far-left's arguments.

I can see why the arguments are compelling: more equity, more equality. Let's all be the same. Pay the same, get the same rewards. Without mentioning it's essentially Communism.

But the arguments are persuasive to normal tax earners that are seeing the likes of Google, Amazon et al pay minimal tax. For instance if Amazon can essentially decide how much tax they are willing to pay, why can't the mom-and-pop shop in the high Street? Without equality, there is unfair competition.

Trump needs to start addressing the inequality on the tax system that allows big corporations to pay miniscule tax. Otherwise the socialist/communist message of the rich fat cats getting better deals and paying less is going to continue to resonate with the population and embolden the radical socialists.

He also needs to start addressing the huge bailouts paid to corporations during the covid pandemic. Money the corporations were supposed to use to keep people in jobs, but instead kept for themselves and still laid people off. If I was Trump, I'd be looking for legislation to claw that money back and more from the big corporations. With incentives for US production. basically you get clobbered if you produce in China and import, but you get a sweet deal if you produce in the US and keep American jobs. With incentives all the way down to mom-and-pop on the high street.

It's time Trump gave the person in the street the same tax breaks as Amazon, Facebook or Google. 

The Biden Fiasco and the Blatant Censoring of Online Commentary

 Well, I think this time Facebook and Twitter have really done it. I really think they have signed their own death warrants. 

They are openly and blatantly refusing to even countenance publication in any form of the accusations laid out by the New York Post regarding Biden, his son and Ukraine. Or even any commentary on the accusations.

Now, here comes the killer blow for those "platforms". If they are censoring content, if they are actively suppressing even commentary of the accusations, then they must fear a lawsuit for doing so. In that case they are thinking like publishers. They are acting like publishers. They are publishers, not platforms. 

The distinction is complete and therefore previous "platforms" given immunity under section 230 of the CDA does not apply because they are now thinking and acting like publishers. 

Which then opens the gleeful opportunities for citizens to sue said former platforms/now publishers for the laws that apply to publishers: defamation, libel etc.

You cannot have the ability to act like a publisher without de facto being a publisher. If you act think, edit, suppress and manipulate content like a publisher, then you are a publisher. If you think and therefore act like a publisher, then you already accept the fact. Whether the entity doing the publishing is a person or a corporation, there is no difference. 

The opportunity to sue arises merely because in can be argued in court that the "platforms" are no longer acting as such. By there mere actions, they become de facto publishers and lose section 230 immunity.

I'm rubbing my hands now waiting for the first big lawsuit to drop.

Facebook and Twitter, by their actions have opened themselves to this. Jack Dorsey has realised this and has gone on record trying to justify the censorship: it's not proven, the information was obtained illegally, yadda-yadda, even using the usual management weasel-word phrases like "we didn't communicate correctly". It doesn't matter. A platform would not censor and suppress on any grounds other than possibly public safety. 

The Biden revelations do not constitute public safety and there are grounds for public interest arguments in defence of allowing commentary on them.

These so-called platforms were on shaky ground previously. I think this is the final nail in the coffin for any protections availed to them under section 230.
