Central Bankers Have All the Power: If They Stop Printing Money, Stocks Will Crash
If the United States’ central bank, the Federal Reserve, stops printing money, the stock market will crash. However, the continual printing of money could cause a crash of its own. Either way, we are in a lose-lose situation when it comes to the decisions made by central bankers.
Will the stocks crash in 2019? Or 2020? Perhaps, and there’s an easy way to tell. “If the Fed stops printing money, stocks will crash. If central banks print money and the global monetary supply increases, we could see stocks rising. If central banks decide to print less money or even contract the money supply, stocks will fall. End of story,” said David Quintieri of The Money GPS.

If the U.S. economy is “booming” and very bright days are ahead, then why are many large U.S. corporations laying off thousands of workers? Layoffs are starting to come fast and furious now, and this is happening even though the coming recession has not even officially started yet. Of course many are convinced that we are actually in a recession at this moment. In fact, according to John Williams of shadowstats.com if the government was actually using honest numbers they would show that we have been in a recession for quite some time. But the narrative that the mainstream media keeps feeding us is that the U.S. economy is “doing well” and that the outlook for the future is positive. Well, if that is true then why are big companies laying off so many workers right now?
Let’s start by talking about Ford Motor Company. On Monday, they announced that they will be laying off approximately 7,000 workers…

“Something Strange Going on” At Fox News, And Not for the Good of America
In an era where four out of 10 Americans approve of Socialism and one in which the ‘Progressive’ Dems have jumped into the tank with the Sanders-led Justice Democrats, Fox News garnered Sanders some 2.6 million viewers in their first town hall.
That’s a lot of exposure for a Socialist in the prelude to Election 2020.
Nor is it just the millions of viewers that Fox News is gifting the likes of Sanders and Buttigieg with their ‘town halls’that makes Fox “something very strange”, it’s the every day talking heads to whom the network is now giving voice:
With the 2020 election campaign underway, Fox brought in former DNC chairman Donna Brazile as a featured political pundit.
In other words, Brazile, who admitted she leaked questions for the last 2016 presidential debate to Hillary Clinton, is now an ongoing contributing Fox News political pundit.

‘American Taliban’ Getting Out of Prison Early; Slain CIA Officer’s Father, Senators, Demand Answers
John Walker Lindh, the so-called ‘American Taliban’, is being let out of federal prison over three years ahead of schedule, and people want to know why.
Lindh converted to Sunni Islam at age 16 after dropping out of school and becoming obsessed with hip-hop and the movie Malcom X (he pretended to be a black rapper online and criticized others for “acting black”). Shortly after his father left his mother for another man, the culturally appropriating Lindh began to attend San Francisco Bay Area mosques. After a 10-month trip to Yemen in 1998 to study the Qur’an, Lindh returned home for eight months, only to return to the Middle East — eventually winding up in Afghanistan to take up arms against Northern Alliance fighters in May, 2001.

America Doesn’t Have an Anti-Semitism Problem. American Politics Does
How the ‘Campusization’ of American politics is spreading hate.
There’s no climate of hatred in America. The rising anti-Semitic rhetoric and violence are the work of small but highly active political groups who have become disproportionately influential in public life.
The rise in anti-Semitism isn’t happening among ordinary Americans, but among a narrow group of influencers. An anti-Semitic cartoon in the New York Times isn’t representative of the country. Neither is Rep. Ilhan Omar. Nor are Richard Spencer or the alt-righters who tweet their own anti-Semitic memes.
Anti-Semitic violence is rising. But the total number of incidents remains small. The perpetrators represent a small segment of the population. The violent doesn’t come from ‘anywhere’. On campuses and in synagogues, it comes from a small radical population of the alt-left and the alt-right. In urban areas, it originates with a slightly larger, but still fairly small population, of neighborhood bigots.
Anti-Semitism is marginal among Americans, but it’s increasingly mainstream in political activism.

Buffalo Wild Wings Employee Threatens to Contaminate Trump Supporters’ Food
“I’m spitting in your food”.
An employee of Buffalo Wild Wings in Pennsylvania threatened to contaminate Trump supporters’ food before a rally on Monday night.
“If you attend the Trump rally tonight and come into bdubs I’m spitting in your food,” tweeted a user called ‘Denzel Washingmachine’.
Despite the woman who made the threat locking her Twitter account, screenshots of the tweet were sent to Buffalo Wild Wings headquarters and the FBI by Michael Conroy and others.
“Just spoke w/ the Williamsport, PA BWW’s location,” he posted to Twitter. “They confirm they are the closest to Montoursville. They r aware of the issue, seemed to confirm it WAS one of their employees who posted that tweet, apologized PROFUSELY, & said that they r ‘addressing issue as we speak.’“
Twitter users called for the woman to be permanently banned from the food service industry, while others called for her arrest.
In another twist, the person who first drew attention to the threat, a Twitter user called @ARTalon1, had their account suspended. Whether the suspension is related to this story remains unknown.

City Steals Elderly Man’s Home for Having a Cluttered Yard, Fines Him $60,000
Ron Mugar never committed a crime, never harmed anyone, yet he’s found himself in the middle of a government-sponsored thievery ring designed to separate citizens from their money. Now, Mugar is currently facing an uphill battle against thieving bureaucrats in his city who are attempting to rob him through immoral and unconstitutional legislation.
Because the city of Norco, California assumes the right to tell people what they can and can’t have on their own property, Mugar was targeted by predatory bureaucrats over minor ‘code violations.’ According to the city, Mugar had too much stuff in his yard. The city claimed this stuff was an imminent danger to the community and so they went after him. In reality, however, no one was in danger, and when the city asked him to clean up his yard, Mugar did just that. But it was too late.
Mugar became a victim of what the Institute for Justice refers to an increasingly common practice in California called “health and safety receiverships.”
“Traditionally, receiverships allow a city to take temporary ownership of a property to fix an imminent danger to a community, like a structurally unsound building. The owner then would receive a bill for the work done. The bill is attached to the property in the form of a property lien. If the homeowner cannot pay the bill, the receiver can sell the property,” IJ reports.
The organization points out that these receiverships are now being used in a predatory manner to enforce even the most minor code violations. The city of Norco has hired law firms like Dapeer, Rosenblit & Litvak LLP, who go after people like Mugar in an attempt to steal their property to rake in millions.

CNN’s Anderson Cooper Mocks Fox News Host by Making Bizarre Facial Expressions
During a segment on his CNN show last night, Anderson Cooper mocked Fox News host Jeanine Pirro by making a series of bizarre facial expressions.
After calling Pirro “the president’s Islamophobe-in-arms,” Cooper proceeded to attempt to mimic her facial expressions during her most recent Fox News open.
However, the effort bore few similarities to Pirro and Cooper just came off looking as if he was about to shapeshift into an interdimensional reptoid.

Constitutional Showdown on Oregon
The Revolutionary Communist Party of America launched an advertising campaign at the University of California in Los Angeles in early May by chalking and distributing signage on concrete sidewalks and elsewhere in an effort to recruit college students to subscribe to their communist ideology. Even after being asked by staff and housing officials to stop their activities, the group distributed a Manifesto condemning Capitalism (meaning competitive Free Enterprise Capitalism.) Monopoly Capitalism is Fascism, “The merger of corporate and state power, Mussolini.” said Robert D. Gorgogllione, Sr.
The Communists remained in the campus dorm, known as “The Hill” for several hours before leaving displaying a white board which bore the message, REVOLUTION IS THE ONLY SOLUTION. Regulations forbid using housing space without permission, chalking and signing on The Hill without UCLA approval…but there exists no process for sanctioning non-resident violations. Robert inquires why Communism should not be permanently expelled from the University Campus? He asks, if we could not and cannot tolerate Nazism, why do we tolerate Communism which has murdered at least 150 million human beings since the October “Bolshevik” Communist Russian Revolution of 1917!
I have the same questions. One of my first articles for News With Views in October 2003 was entitled, “Is Communism Dead?” But rather the MSM doing some investigating on the subject, they chose instead to smear long time Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy who claimed college campuses were a hotbed of communist professors who indoctrinate and turn out journalists who continue to hide the truth about communism while defaming McCarthy…
But meanwhile, back in the REGRESSIVE TOTALITARIAN MARXIST STATE OF OREGON the totally out numbered Republican Party in the legislature are fighting to stop the many Marxist Democrat bills that include a 40% property tax increase on homeowners if lawmakers remove the Measure 5 property tax cap. Then there are the SIN TAXES — $800 million beer, wine, tobacco & soda and a proposed 15-cent gas tax increase. The $600 million carbon tax (HB 2020) is expected to raise gas taxes by 15 cents — that’s on top of the 12-cent tax increase two years ago. To add insult to injury, the Taxpayer Association of Oregon says the politicians refuse to call a tax a tax. Instead they are calling it a ‘CARBON CAP AND INVEST’ BILL AND A ‘GREEN JOBS BILL’…THAT MAGICALLY RAISES $700 MILLION! The Carbon Tax is also projected to raise natural gas prices by 11%.
And then they want to steal our $336 kicker tax refund. The Constitution requires over-collected tax revenue to be returned to taxpayers. Right now, the Oregon Legislature is sitting on a pile of $686 million dollars of over-collected tax revenue (SJR 3). Oregonians have rejected a sales tax nine times but now this 2019 legislature as decided simply to hide the next sales tax — by charging business on their sales behind the scenes, instead of on the receipt where customers can see it.

Democrats: America’s Original Hate Group
The New York Times, a major DMIC (Democrat Media Industrial Complex) colluder and conspirator, recently reported that California has more organized hate groups than any other state. The Gray Lady didn’t realize her own irony: isn’t it quite interesting that arguably the most Democrat state in the nation boasts the most hate groups and potential terrorists?
When the Trump presidency concludes January 20, 2025, at noon EST, there will be many unintended benefits and victories that he himself likely hadn’t ever thought of. One of those is that our win didn’t create hate — it revealed the hate of American Democrats.
Not long ago, U.S. rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) celebrated the countdown until whites are a minority demographic in America. It’s not just that Democrats hate America’s freedoms and her Constitution — a document crafted to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority. Democrats want our nation to go extinct, the Hell with all those who have built our nation, those who have sacrificed and those who have died and lost limbs. Our Founders warned us of an epoch, when a rising domestic enemy threatened the existence of the greatest and most miraculous nation in world history. Many races, ethnicities, religions, and non-religions have made contributions; normal thinking people respect the humanity of good and decent people. Our nation is the most diverse in world history.
Democrats? It’s not just that they’re anti-white; they fervently count down with bated breath the days until an American demographic shrinks. With airy nonchalance, Democrats espouse hate against those whom they are supposed to represent because they know they can do so with impunity, and because they have one goal: to conquer us and rule over us.

First Humans on Mars Will Evolve Into an Entirely New Species Quickly, Says Evolutionary Biologist
Mars is looking like more and more of a possibility with each space expedition — but what happens once humans get to the Red Planet?
While most scientific fields are focused on making the possibility of traveling to and settling on Mars a reality, Scott Solomon, an evolutionary biologist and professor at Rice University, is contemplating about the planet’s impact on the human species.
After all, a human colony in Mars would involve humans not only living on the Red Planet, but also reproducing there, Solomon pointed out in a TEDx Talks discussion in 2018. Living in conditions vastly different from Earth is expected to trigger changes in the human babies born there and Solomon has very concrete ideas on what these changes will be.

Geologist: A Yellowstone Eruption “Would Destroy Most of the U.S.”
A geologist has said that if the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts, it would destroy most of the United States, all but wiping the country off of the map. Dr. Jerzy Zaba is importantly not predicting that the volcano is going to erupt soon, but simply stating that it does have the power to destroy humanity and life as we know it.
According to Tech WP, Dr. Zaba says that Yellowstone, if it erupted in a similar manner as it did 640,000 years ago, it would destroy much of the United States. Dr. Zaba, who is a geologist at the University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland, said the mass explosion is completely unavoidable although it’s impossible to say when that explosion will occur. In addition to the annihilation of the United States, the geologist also says about 5 billion other people will starve to death in the volcanoes aftermath: a volcanic winter.

Google and Big Tech Are Already Implementing Their Chinese-Tested Blacklists on US Conservatives
In November 2018 The Guardian reported on group of Google employees who published an open letter calling on their employer to cancel its plans to build a censored search engine for China. This was the latest expression of worker unrest at a company that earlier in 2018 saw thousands stage walkouts over its handling of sexual misconduct cases.
The Google employees were very upset that Google’s Project Dragonfly would allow the Chinese government to blacklist certain search terms. The employees said, “Many of us accepted employment at Google with the company’s values in mind… After a year of disappointments … we no longer believe this is the case.”
Just months later it is now obvious that Google, Facebook and Twitter are using their own blacklists of prominent conservatives and their supporters.
If you search Google for prominent conservative voices including: Mike Cernovich, Joe diGenova, Jack Posobiec or Gateway Pundit you will see hit pieces and biased attacks.

My hometown of Minneapolis has been totally transformed by the arrival of tens of thousands of refugees from Somalis, one of whom now represents the city and a few suburbs in Congress. Nobody there was asked if such a makeover was desired by the residents; State Department officials decided that the generous welfare benefits available in Minnesota were reason enough to send people whose native land is tropical to the coldest major city in the United States.
But now that the old 97%-plus Caucasian city has been made into a multicultural exemplar, the local establishment, including the newspapers and broadcasters, is ultra-protective of its prized diversity-endowing Somali community.
That might explain why the news of a horrific attack on people waiting for a light rail train at the University of Minnesota has been so slow to emerge. A mob of “youths” — it now turns out they are juveniles, so their identities are being protected — believed to be of Somali extraction attacked innocent people waiting for a light rail train at the East Bank University of Minnesota station. They were wielding either hammers or pipes.

Jeff Daniels: If Trump Wins in 2020 ‘It’s the End of Democracy’
Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline,” actor Jeff Daniels said if President Donald Trump wins in 2020, it will be “the end of democracy.”
Daniels said, “I think there are people in the Midwest, between the coasts, who don’t know anything about this, who don’t care about this, they don’t have time for this, who have to make a decision now. You have to decide whether, like Atticus, you believe there is still compassion, decency, civility, respect for others, do unto others — remember that? Do unto others. All that stuff you guys believe in, and you still voted not for Hillary, or for Trump, where are you now? Because your kids are looking up at you going, ‘but he lies.’ And I think there are a lot of people in the Midwest who are going—it might be enough for them. We’re going to find out if the big gamble is to go all the way to November 2020, which I agree, and lose, it’s the end of democracy.”

NXIVM Founder Plotted to Install Sex Cult Member Into ‘High-Level Political Office’
Keith Raniere also planned to recruit ‘thousands or almost a million people’ across the U.S.
Founder of the sex cult group NXIVM plotted to install a female “lieutenant” into a top political office, according to one of his members’ court testimony.
Lauren Salzman, a member of leader Keith Raniere’s inner circle known as DOS, was tasked with recruiting “people of power and influence” into NXIVM, she said to a Brooklyn court on Monday.
Raniere hoped “that we might have a DOS candidate in a high-level political office,” Salzman said, adding that the prospective candidate would have to be “highly collateralized,” meaning NXIVM would have needed blackmail material on her to control her.
Additionally, Salzman testified that Raniere wanted to expand the New York-based sex cult into a nationwide enterprise, and have new members initially use masks and pseudonyms a la Eyes Wide Shut to make it more accessible.

Red Flag Laws — Double Speak for Gun Confiscation
When I went to pick up my concealed carry permit at the Sheriff’s office in Montana, I was asked if I would wait a few minutes because the sheriff wanted to talk to me. I wondered if he was going to impress on me the importance of being careful, that a handgun was a dangerous weapon, or something to that effect. He came out of his office and thanked me for getting my permit, stating that I was the only one who could save my life. He added that the police are not responsible for protecting us, they only respond after we call, and that is often too late.
So we need to realize that we are our own protectors. With that in mind, I posit that the Second Amendment is needed now more than it has been in a long time. All these actions attempting to take away our right to defend ourselves, our families, and our property, are very dangerous in today’s world.

State AG Charged With Adopting SPLC’s Extreme Agenda
Accused of ‘weaponizing’ office by endorsing leftists’ ‘false’ narrative
An organization that is suing Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel for “weaponizing” her office by lending its authority to the “false political narrative” of the Southern Poverty Law Center says the trial must go on.
The American Freedom Law Center sued Nessel and Agustin Arbulu of the Michigan Department of Civil Rights when they adopted SPLC’s notorious “hate” designation for AFLC, and posted it on the state website.
SPLC has in recent years launched full scale attacks on organizations, not because they promote “hate” but because they disagree with SPLC’s social agenda on abortion, homosexuality, gay marriage and other issues.
AFLC explains it was attacked by the “radical, left-wing (and totally discredited) Southern Poverty Law Center as a ‘hate group,’“ but additional damage was done when Nessel granted the organization the state’s imprimatur.”
Nessel responded by demanding that the U.S. District Court in Michigan drop the case.

Texas Pipeline Protesters May Face Up to 10 Years in Prison
Ever since last September, Angeline Cheek was preparing for disaster.
The native American organizer from the Fort Peck reservation in Montana has fears that the proposed Keystone XL pipeline could break and spill, destroy her tribe’s water, and desecrate sacred Native American sites. But environmental catastrophe is not the most immediate threat.
The government has characterized pipeline opponents like her as “extremists” and violent criminals and warned of potential “terrorism”, according to recently released records. The documents, revealed last year, suggested that police were set to launch an aggressive responses to possible Keystone protests.
And now, that threat to what some have dubbed as “eco-terrorism” has become reality, at least in one US state. According to Bloomberg, oil pipeline protesters who interrupt operations or damage equipment could face up to 10 years in prison under legislation approved by Texas lawmakers.

The Surprising Road Ahead for WND
David Kupelian on defeating the left’s stealth takeover of the internet
Dear WND reader,
The Democratic Party — whose presidential candidates proudly advocate allowing convicted mass-murdering terrorists to vote, destroying America’s oil, gas and coal industries, ending private insurance, killing babies after they’re born, inviting never-ending hordes of illegal aliens to invade our country, and imposing socialism on the most successful free-market nation in history — could win the presidency and Congress next year.
How is that possible?
How could such an obviously lunatic — and catastrophic — worldview prevail in the United States of America, you ask?
There are several reasons, but let’s start with a big one: Lies take hold in the absence of truth, and the left is now deeply engaged in a campaign to eliminate truthful free speech and a free press in our beloved country.
I’m talking about the ongoing censorship and predatory monopolistic suppression of truth-oriented journalism.
You no doubt are already somewhat familiar with this. Every day, it seems, Facebook or Twitter or YouTube has banned or suspended or demonetized yet another conservative, Republican or Christian.
But the problem goes way beyond that.

Trump Responds to Decision by Judge to Side With House Dems Over Subpoena for His Financial Records
If you guessed that the federal judge who just sided with House Democrats to demand President Trump’s financial records is an Obama-appointed judge, you guessed right. Amit P. Mehta’s 41-page opinion compared President Trump’s concerns of congressional overreach to those of President Buchanan’s. The problem with the decision by the judge is that it serves no legislative purpose…this is simply a fishing expedition on the president and he knows it:
President Trump just told reporters that he disagrees with this “crazy ruling.” “As far as the financials are concerned, we think it’s totally the wrong decision by obviously an Obama-appointed judge.”
The D.C. based Indian-American judge sided with House Oversight Democrats who are after the president’s financial records. Even though this breathes new life into the investigation into anything that can damage the president, this doesn’t end here. This likely will go on to the Supreme Court for a final decision.

Violent Far Left Protester Acquitted After Hitting KATU Cameraman in Head With Wooden Pallet
A jury in Portland (of course) has delivered not guilty verdicts in the case of an anti-ICE protester who was up on charges of assault and harassment after hitting a KATU news cameraman with a wooden pallet during last summer’s Occupy ICE protest encampment.
Despite multiple witnesses and the cameraman recording during the incident, a jury of six ruled that the actions of protester Danialle Inez James did not constitute assault or harassment, essentially saying that it’s legal for protesters to order members out of public areas and then physically attack the members of the media for being in public areas.

The middle of the country has never seen anything quite like this. As 2019 began, the central portion of the nation was relentlessly hammered by bitter cold and massive snow storms, and many were hoping for better things once spring arrived. But then in March the flooding began, and it hasn’t stopped since. In fact, this is already the longest we have seen flooding along the Mississippi River since 1927, and there is no end in sight. By the time it is all said and done, all of the old records will probably be completely shattered. Meanwhile, powerful storms continue to pound the heartland every few days. Over the weekend, huge storms struck the middle of the country on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and more are expected on Monday. So what is causing such extremely bizarre weather to happen? Is there a reason why weather patterns have shifted so dramatically, or is all of this just a really, really strange coincidence?
Nobody can possibly claim that what we are witnessing is “normal”. According to the the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the last year has been the “wettest 12-month period in recorded history” for the lower 48 states…

Italy: Man: 92: Bargains 15 Mn Tax Return From Switzerland
Record for private individual, tax fugitive for yrs
(ANSA) — Milan, May 20 — A 92-year-old Milanese man has plea bargained the return of 15 million euros in dodged taxes from Switzerland, judicial sources aid Monday.
The unnamed man has thus only received a rap over the knuckles in the shape of a suspended eight-month sentence, they said.
The man had been dubbed a “fiscal fugitive” for pretending to live in Switzerland and the UK for at least five years.
The man was the owner of the Gavazzi deluxe clothing shops in the 1980s and 1990s.
The plea bargain is the highest ever for a private individual, sources said.
The man managed to hide the money from tax authorities via a system of trust funds, they said.

New Global Definition of One Kilogram Comes Into Force
A new worldwide official definition of the weight of one kilogram has entered into official usage this week, after over 130 years of being measured by a platinum and iridium cylinder in Paris.
The new definition came into force on Monday May 20, marking an important change within the scientific community.
Weight council la Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures (CGPM) has now decided that the official kilogram weight will no longer be defined by an object, but by a “constant” — meaning an invariable, universal, never-changing scientific result.

No, The Fascists and the Nazis Were Not Right-Wingers
The Left and mainstream political science identify Italian fascism and German National Socialism as right-wing ideologies. Their motivation is clear: they do not want to be associated with regimes that brought civilization horror and suffering on an unprecedented scale. The Left traditionally substantiates its point of view with two theoretical propositions. First of all, fascism and Nazism do not belong to the Left because those regimes did not institute total collective ownership on means of production as Marx prescribed. Secondly, nationalism and racism have traditionally been features of the right, whereas the Left is perceived to comprise internationalists.
Thus, Stalin pointed out in his interview to American journalist Roy Howard, “The foundation of the [socialist] society is public property: state, i.e., national, and co-operative, collective farm property. Neither Italian fascism nor German National-’socialism’ has anything in common with such a society. Primarily, this is because the private ownership of the factories and works, of the land, the banks, transport, etc. has remained intact, and, therefore, capitalism remains in full force in Germany and Italy.” That has been the notorious argument of Marxian socialists.

Would that put a damper on your relationship? It’s supposed to.
Welcome to life in China’s “Social Credit System,” where a low score can ruin your life in more ways than one.
Say you arrive at the Beijing airport, intending to catch a flight to Canton 1,200 miles south. The clerk at the ticket counter turns you away because — you guessed it — your social credit score is too low.

A truck advertising candidates of an upstart nationalist-populist Australian party went up in flames in what police are calling a “suspicious” fire following elections results that shocked the country and enraged leftists.
The billboard vehicle was reportedly parked outside a shopping center in Hobart, Tasmania, while One Nation candidate Adam Lambert was inside buying groceries.
One Nation founder Pauline Hanson posted video of the truck fire to social media, asserting that a suspicious person had been seen setting it alight.
“Isn’t it amazing how the left call for tolerance all the time, but act like they’re above the law when you don’t agree with their ideologies,” Hanson wrote on Facebook. “Our One Nation truck in Tasmania was parked outside a shop while our senate candidate went inside to buy some groceries and someone was seen torching it before fleeing.”
“This is what the left do to conservative parties. Yesterday one of our volunteers was bashed and called a ‘white dog’ because he asked a man to stop wrecking our signs in Cowan.”
“I’m concerned about where politics is heading in this country,” she concluded.
Tasmania Police are now investigating the blaze and treating it as “suspicious,” according to a spokesperson.

Venezuela’s True Problem. Part I
For the past weeks we have following the reports, mostly biased, of the dramatic events occurring in Venezuela. There have been quite a few articles trying to explain what the problem is with Venezuela, a country that a decade ago was one of the richest in the American hemisphere. Nevertheless I will offer a very simple, one-word explanation of what I consider the cause of Venezuela’s true problem: oil.
Yes, oil. Venezuela has one of the largest oil reserves in the world, probably larger than Saudi Arabia. This has been Venezuela’s blessing, but also its greatest curse, mostly thanks to the criminal activities of John D. Rockefeller, an evil man who once said: “Competition is a sin.”
One of the main goals of the Rockefeller’s Standard Oil was destroying competitors by all means necessary, including threats, arson, dynamite and even assassination. In order to hide his fortunes, JDR created a legal aberration called the trust. He also invented the so-called “charitable foundations,” a way to give away some of his money to avoid paying taxes while still having control over it.
The foundations directly or indirectly under the control of the Rockefeller family have been a powerful force brainwashing people into accepting the New World Order they envision. Disguised by alleged good intentions, the foundations they control have promoted most of the worst things going on in America and the world, from eugenics to cultural Marxism…
At the end of the 19th century, the Russians discovered a large amount of oil in Baku, near the Caspian Sea in Azerbaijan. At the time, the Baku oil field was considered the largest known oil deposit in the world. By the early 1880s, Russian crude production reached 10.8 million, almost a third of U.S. production.[3]
As expected, Rockefeller and his criminal associates of the American International Corporation (AIC), Andrew Mellon, J.P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie, were deeply alarmed about the Russians challenging their ambitions of controlling the world oil supply, and they began conspiring to develop a plan to stop the Russians in their tracks. They concluded that the only way to achieve their goal was to depose Czar Nicholas II, and the only way to accomplish that was through a “revolution.”…
Mainly thanks to the efforts of scholars like Antony Sutton, G. Edward Griffin and others, now we know that the “spontaneous” Russian “revolution” was actually a covert operation planned and carried out by international bankers and oil magnates. It would have been impossible to succeed without the money supplied by some of the most notable millionaires at that time.
Tsar Nicholas II already had initiated the implementation of a series of reforms directed to change Russia from a medieval into a modern society, which included the emancipation of the serfs, the creation of a Duma —a national assembly—, and rural communes. These reforms would have encouraged the Russian people to think about the possibility of a benign government in which the people would democratically participate.
But some influential Wall Street bankers and oil magnates were not happy with these changes in Russia, and conceived another plan. In order to proceed with their plan, John D. Rockefeller, together with fellow conspirators, such as bankers Mellon and Morgan and steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, plus several of America’s robber barons, joined their resources for up to $50 million (an enormous sum at the time), and created the American International Corporation (AIC), a powerful cartel allegedly devoted to stimulate world trade. The truth, however, is that the AIC was created to fund the overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II by a small group of professional revolutionaries: the Bolsheviks.

Spain’s Surge in Migrant Crime is a Textbook Case of Political Correctness Run Amok
Reliable statistics on migrant-related crimes in Spain are unavailable because the data compiled by the Spanish Interior Ministry on specific categories of crimes (homicide, rape, robbery, etc.) do not break down the offenders by nationality. But what is known, is that the surge in migrant crime is a textbook case of political correctness run amok.
Despite the lack of official statistics, anecdotal evidence found in the crime reports of local newspapers shows that migrant criminality (ranging from petty theft to sexual assault to murder) is a growing problem nationwide. In Barcelona, for example, 15 members of a North African itinerant crime gang known as “Allah’s Wolfpack” sexually assaulted a woman at a metro station. The migrants, some of whom are unaccompanied minors and all of whom are in Spain illegally, had long rap sheets and were well known to the police.
Normal everyday Spanish people are not nearly as safe as they once were thanks to policial correctness. The Madrid city council, which is run by Mayor Manuela Carmena, in a case study of political correctness run amok, ordered police to keep out of the neighborhood of Lavapie’s, one of the most “multicultural” districts of the Spanish capital, to “avoid situations of tension.” Spain is well known for it’s “progressive” immigration policies, but it just is not working.
Six African migrants gang-raped a 12-year-old girl in a small town near Madrid, but Spanish authorities kept information about the crime hidden from the public for more than a year, apparently to avoid fueling anti-immigration sentiments.
On March 15, 2018, the 12-year-old girl was playing in a park in Azuqueca de Henares with several other girls when, at around one o’clock in the afternoon, six migrants — five Moroccans and one Nigerian — approached the playground. They carried two of the girls off to a nearby abandoned building, but then let one of them go after discovering that she was a Muslim. The migrants, aged between 15 and 20, grabbed the 12-year-old by her arms and legs and took turns raping her, first anally and then vaginally, for nearly an hour.
The public was not informed about the crime until March 20, 2019, when the newspaper El Mundo published the results of an investigation. According to the report, Spanish prosecutors and judges secretly decided that three of the minors will be held in a young offender institution for three years and then be “reinserted” into Spanish society rather than be deported. One of the adults is being held in preventive detention; the other adults were released. —Soeren Kern via The Gatestone Institute.

UN Bureaucrats Rooting for Mass Immigration — Salvini
Should deal with violation of human rights
(ANSA) — Rome, May 20 — The United Nations is full of bureaucrats rooting for mass immigration, Interior Minister and anti-migrant League party leader Matteoi Salvini said after the UN criticised his proposed security package for fining migrant rescuers.
“Minister and MPs elected by the Italians decide on the security and happiness of the Italians,” he said.
“Unknown bureaucrats who are fans of mass immigration do not,” he said.
“The UN should deal with much bigger problems such as the violation of human rights around the world,” said Salvini.
These are taking place, he said “from Turkey to (North) Korea to Venezuela”.
The UN should so this, he said, “instead of coming to run a fine tooth comb over Italy”.

Abortion Meets Newton’s Laws of Motion
The left pushed too far on abortion and Newton’s law of motion is now pushing back in a way they didn’t anticipate and don’t appreciate.
Newton’s third law of motion states, “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Although Newton was describing the movement of physical objects, it turns out his laws are also predictive of political issues, the latest example being abortion.
Think of Newton’s third law as overreach and pushback. In politics we see this frequently. Sequential presidents are often of different political parties and philosophies, meaning that after four, or usually eight years of action in one direction, there is an equal push in the opposite direction with a new administration of a different political party.
Abortion provides a good example of Newton’s law, particularly this year with legislative pushback, an equal and opposite reaction to in this case, Democrat overreach.

Most people are much too careless about what they post and leave information online as if it were a secure repository.
You’ve probably noticed your smartphone suddenly recommending products you were just researching as if the device was hardwired to your brain. This is made possible through bulk user data collection and cookies—not that kind of cookie. This kind of cookie. It enhances advertising but adversely affects personal online privacy.

Joe Biden Promises Taxpayer Funding for Abortion if Elected
Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden has withdrawn his support for the Hyde amendment, which prohibits federal funding of abortion, saying he would abolish the amendment if elected president.
Despite his consistent support for abortion-rights legislation, Mr. Biden has always voted against taxpayer funding for the procedure, a position he now repudiates, noted John McCormack in the National Review.

The Answer to the Abortion Debate Has Existed in the Constitution All Along
We should begin by stating the obvious: Roe v. Wade was an errant ruling by the Supreme Court, and one which has rightfully earned “public opposition and academic criticism” because the “Court ventured too far in the change it ordered and presented an incomplete justification for its action.”
That’s not my framing of the mistake made in the Roe decision, mind you. Those are the words of none other than Ruth Bader Ginsburg, uttered in 1985. And as late as 2005, even she acknowledged that “in 1973, the law was changing. Women were lobbying around that issue. The Supreme Court stopped all that by deeming every law — even the most liberal — as unconstitutional. That seemed to me not the way the courts generally work.”
Anyone who harbors an ounce of honesty must admit that these statements by the famously progressive justice are accurate. As MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos recently observed:

Austria Bans Muslim Headscarf in Primary Schools — to Liberate Girls “From Submission” And Send a Signal “Against Political Islam”
My favourite part of this is how the muslims complained it harms their women’s rights – not even liberals can be dumb enough to believe this.
Gang of Children as Young as 12 ‘Storm a 91-Year-Old’s Home Armed With Golf Clubs and Force Him to Watch as They Ransack Every Room’
At least they are dealing with them, even the youngest bastard. It should be common sense all over the world to not have age restrictions on certain crimes and sentence children the same as adults if they commit those crimes. Even the death penalty, which should have never been abolished anywhere in the first place – even though for some it might be a lesser sentence than serving life-long, at the very least it’s a far better way to protect society and cheaper for sure (at least some methods). Unless we’re going to go back to the old prison style where such criminals won’t last for more than a year.
Bring back the chain gangs and labor crews clearing ditches like in Cool Hand Luke. I would go further and require prisoners to plant their own gardens and grains, and make tbeir own meals, and otherwise have them doing hard labor during their waking hours. Let the prisoners punish those that didn’t pull their own weight too. No work, no eat.
In the dying West, we’ve met the enemy and it is us. Allowing universal democracy guarantees a speedy…painful… end.
Restricting the franchise to, presumably, people who agree with you is not the answer; that’s partly how the Nazis got elected in 1933.
Be careful what you wish for.
I liked these Muslim moans about homophobia and anti-Semitism.
Britain needs to clarify the definition: the poster is about Islamists, not Muslims.
Why then is it qualified as a hate crime, because they themselves say that Islam and Islamism are different things? It is illogical.
