Fed Hikes Interest Rates by 75 Basis Points for Fourth Straight Meeting
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday raised its benchmark interest rate by 75 basis points for the fourth straight month as it struggles to bring runaway inflation under control, a move that threatens to further slow U.S. economic growth and exacerbate financial pain for millions of households and businesses.
The three-quarter percentage point hikes in June, July, September and November underscore just how serious Fed officials are about tackling the inflation crisis after a string of alarming economic reports. Policymakers voted unanimously to approve the latest super-sized hike.
The widely expected move puts the key benchmark federal funds rate at a range of 3.75% to 4%, the highest since before the 2008 financial crisis, from near-zero in March. It marks the sixth consecutive rate increase this year and puts interest rates in firmly restrictive territory.

White House Deletes Absurd Tweet After CNN, Twitter Slap With Fact Checks
The Biden Administration’s latest attempt to rebrand terrible economic news as good news was so blatant that even CNN’s fact-checker Daniel Dale called them out.
In a Tuesday tweet, the White House claimed that “Seniors are getting the biggest increase in their Social Security checks in 10 years through President Biden’s leadership.”
Seniors are getting the biggest increase in their Social Security checks in 10 years through President Biden’s leadership.

The Atlantic has come under fire for suggesting that all the terrible pandemic-era decisions over lockdowns, school closures, masking, and punishing an entire class of people who questioned the efficacy and wisdom of taking a rushed, experimental vaccine — for a virus with a 99% survival rate in most, should all be water under the bridge.
“We need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID,” writes Brown Professor Emily Oster — a huge lockdown proponent, who now pleads from mercy from the once-shunned.
“Let’s acknowledge that we made complicated choices in the face of deep uncertainty, and then try to work together to build back and move forward,” she continues.
Except, they weren’t “in the dark” about Covid.

2 Arrested After Santa Fe Woman Fatally Stabbed With a Sword
SANTA FE — A woman and her boyfriend have been arrested in connection with a death in Santa Fe in which the victim was stabbed with a three-foot metal sword, according to authorities.
Police said 19-year-old Kiara McCulley and 25-year-old Isaac Apodaca were taken into custody Saturday and both remain jailed on open counts of murder.
It was unclear Tuesday if either suspect has a lawyer yet who can speak on their behalf.
According to a criminal complaint, McCulley is accused of fatally stabbing 19-year-old Grace Jennings and also may have tried to decapitate her after allegedly being encouraged to do so by Apodaca.
Police said they found text messages between Apodaca and McCully allegedly conspiring to kill Jennings.
McCully said she has multiple personality disorder and doesn’t remember fatally stabbing the victim, according to authorities.

Alec Baldwin Loses Bid to Toss One of the ‘Rust’ Shooting Lawsuits Against Him
Alec Baldwin has lost his bid to toss one of the lawsuits filed against him over his deadly shooting of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, as he awaits a decision on whether he’ll face criminal charges.
The 64-year-old actor sought to get dismissed from the suit filed by script supervisor Mamie Mitchell, who accuses Baldwin of “recklessly” firing the gun that killed Hutchins, 42, as she was standing next to her.
However, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Whitaker ruled that Mitchell can press on with her claims of assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence against the actor.
Mitchell can also pursue punitive damages against Baldwin and his finance company, El Dorado Pictures, the Los Angeles Times noted.

Apple’s iPhone14 Registers Rollercoaster Ride as Serious Traffic Accident

The emergency call center near an amusement park in Ohio alone has received six such emergency calls since the iPhone14 went on sale, even though the owner was actually taking a ride on a roller coaster.

Elon Musk to Fire Half of Twitter on Friday
Taking a page out of Thanos’ playbook (or is that Zorg), in two days Elon Musk will finally do what he has repeatedly warned he would do: unleash mass layoffs at the company he just acquired.
According to Bloomberg, the world’s richest man will eliminate 3,700 jobs at Twitter — roughly half of the company’s entire workforce — in a bid to drive down costs following his $44 billion acquisition; Musk will inform affected staffers Friday, said the Bloomberg sources. Oh, and all those masked snowflakes who previously raged against the previous management’s “draconian” demand to come back to the office, you’re out of luck too: Musk intends to reverse the company’s existing work-from-anywhere policy asking what few employees remain to report to offices.

Federal Judge Curtails Arizona Drop Box Monitoring, Limiting Armed Watchers, Ending Videos of Voters
A federal judge in Arizona has rules that election ballot dropbox monitors can no longer take photos or videos of voters, post information online about them or make “false statements” about early voting in the state.
The monitoring is being led by the voting-integrity group Clean Elections USA.
Ahead of the decision Tuesday by Judge Michael Liburdi, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, the group agreed to stop openly carrying weapons or wearing body armor within 250 feet of ballot boxes and to stop interacting with voters within 75 feet.
Liburdi, a Trump appointee, initially allowed the group to monitor drop boxes, in a parallel case.

George Soros Spends Big in Last-Minute Attempt to Rescue Far-Left Texas District Attorneys
FIRST ON FOX: Liberal billionaire George Soros dropped massive last-minute cash into Texas to help save two far-left district attorney candidates he previously helped propel into office, according to campaign finance records reviewed by Fox News Digital.
Soros pushed $1 million directly from his name and added $150,000 from his federal Democracy PAC II into the Texas Justice & Public Safety PAC in mid-October, filings submitted this week to the Texas Ethics Commission show. Soros is the sole funder of the Texas-based PAC, which is led by Whitney Tymas, his longtime operator of such committees that pop up in various states supporting progressive prosecutor candidates.
The money has since gone toward purchasing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of television and digital advertisements, direct mail and polling services supporting Bexar County DA Joe Gonzalez and Dallas County DA John Creuzot in the days following the cash infusion, the records show.

Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald said Sunday that there was a very simple reason that members of his chosen profession seemed unwilling to question the narrative surrounding the alleged attack on Paul Pelosi — namely the possibility that asking questions could put their careers at risk.
Greenwald laid out his theory in a Twitter thread, saying that it didn’t even matter whether or not the prevailing narrative — that the person who was arrested at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) was a far-right conspiracy theorist and election denier — was true. The point, he said, was that it couldn’t be questioned.
“It’s very possible that the instantly formed media narrative — Paul Pelosi’s attacker was a MAGA fanatic who broke in to murder Nancy — will be proven true. But right now there are so many glaring doubts and holes in that story that it just takes common sense to question this,” Greenwald began…

North Korea Sending Artillery to Russia for War in Ukraine, White House Says
The suspected shipments through third countries in the Middle East and North Africa come as Kyiv advances on the battlefield
WASHINGTON—North Korea is covertly supplying Russia’s war in Ukraine with a significant number of artillery shells through indirect routes that include shipments through third countries in the Middle East and North Africa, the Biden administration said Wednesday.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said that while the U.S. has had indications for some time that Russia had requested artillery shells from North Korea, the administration now has information that shipments have begun.
The shipments, though sizable, aren’t expected to change the course of Ukraine’s effort to defend its territory against Russia’s invasion, Mr. Kirby said.
“We’re not talking dozens here. It’s a significant number of artillery shells,” Mr. Kirby told reporters. “We’re still monitoring this to determine if the shipments have been actually received.”

The Midterm Election Rigging is Underway
by Daniel Greenfield
Election Day results, like clean streets and easily available products in supermarkets, have become artifacts of a recent glorious past. Don’t count on finding eggs and milk at the market or finding out who won the election on Election Day. The 2022 midterms, like the 2020 elections, are a work in progress that will, one day, when the right ballots are found, elect somebody.
Acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapman, the leftist election rigging activist appointed by Gov. Tom Wolf, warned that it will take days to determine who won. At a “virtual press conference”, the virtual election boss, who hasn’t actually been confirmed by the legislature, warned that it would take “several days worth of work” to determine who won what. And who didn’t.
Chapman, a veteran of The Advancement Project, funded by Soros and the Ford Foundation, which worked against voter ID rules to stop voter fraud, and Let America Vote, a leftist group to eliminate election security regulations, urged voters to “feel confident in our election system and in the final results.” Nothing creates confidence in an election system like a radical partisan activist being put in charge of it and then warning that the FBI will target any critics…

Room erupts during Pat King’s testimony
On Day 15 of the Emergencies Act hearings, more Freedom Convoy representatives took the stand including Convoy lawyer Keith Wilson, representative Tom Marazzo and live-streamer Patrick King.
The proceedings were temporarily halted during King’s testimony after a heated exchange between him and Ottawa lawyer Paul Champ who was questioning him.
It started when Champ asked King if the Convoy had caused downtown Ottawa to become a “dangerous situation.”
“Not at all. I met the most loving, most caring people,” said King. “Everywhere you went you were getting hugs, you were getting handshakes. Nobody was violent.”
Champ then asked King why he needed to have security with him during the Convoy. King responded that he had people threatening his life.
“People were dropping marbles from high-rises,” said King. “They were throwing eggs, and the citizens of Ottawa were threatening to run us over.”

Cost of Energy Hampering Austria’s Only Salt Producer
Salinen AG, based in Ebensee, is Austria’s only salt producer. Because of the massive price increases in energy, production has been cut back by 20 percent.
Just as Germans can no longer bank on clean water with standards lowered to compensate for a lack of energy in sewage treatment, Austria’s only salt producer is facing problems. CEO Peter Untersperger called for an end to the suicide sanctions against Russia.
The salt works already charge 12 percent more for salt, but actually they should raise the price by a good 30 percent so that they do not get in trouble with the increased costs. Because the stocks of gas are gradually decreasing and they have to buy more at the massively increased market price.
Production will therefore initially be reduced by 20 percent by the end of the year. CEO Peter Untersperger is especially tough on politicians. He demanded that Germany open Nord Stream 2 so that enough gas could flow to Europe and market prices could drop again.

Italy’s Government Passes New Law Against Illegal Raves, But Left Claims Law Threatens Freedom
One of the first things Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s coalition government did was to amend the penal code to crack down on the growing problem of illegal rave parties across the country. The left opposition, however, is now attacking the government claiming that the measure is a furtive way to curtail freedoms.
The amendment, which came into effect just as police were dismantling a rave party in Modena, raises the maximum penalty for unauthorized occupation of public spaces or buildings by over 50 people with three to six years in prison.
Using the new law, police forces declared the Modena rave party, held in a hangar, unauthorized. Authorities identified more than 1,300 people and 300 vehicles, seized technical equipment worth €150,000, and are prosecuting 14 organizers of the illegal rave.

The recent politically-tinted PayPal trouble in the UK does not seem to have died the same ignoble — and (un)deserved in nature, anonymous — “death” as so many cases over the recent years have — when Big Tech and their subsidiaries/minions have been called to task, as essentially the agents to stifle whatever speech went against the Big Narrative.
The “no reaction” to accounts getting blocked for legitimate political reasons would have been happening due to, quite simply put, politics.
So is it okay to cancel a person’s PayPal account — on account of their political stance — in a democracy?
As far as UK legislators, it now looks like this “conundrum” seems to be getting close to a solution.

Some Weapons Destined for Ukraine Ending Up With Finnish Criminals
Organized crime is on the rise in Finland, and there’s a high demand for weapons. Criminal networks have already established weapon smuggling routes between Finland and Poland.

According to Christer Ahlgren, superintendent of the Organized Crime Intelligence Unit of the Finnish National Bureau of Investigation (Keskusrikospoliisi, KRP), Europol’s prediction has already become a reality in Finland.

Londoners are being warned to travel in numbers, to cover up expensive watches, and to hand over valuables if they are confronted following a rise in high-value thefts in the U.K. capital.
Watch Collecting, a global auction platform devoted to prestige and luxury watches, has taken it upon themselves to launch a public safety campaign in affluent districts in West London, launching digital billboards advising wearers of luxury timepieces to keep them concealed and not to wear them unless necessary.
The advice is offered in the form of a “watch” acronym, calling on people to “wear it with care, avoid unnecessary risk, travel with a friend, cover it up,” and “hand it over if threatened.”

UK: Rishi Sunak Caves in: Flying to COP27 Climate Talks After All

WEF Publishes Post on Digital “Battery Passport, “ Described as “A Digital ID for Batteries”
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has taken up yet another climate change and “clean green energy” cause: car batteries footprint, and what to do about it.
One thing the Davos-based group seems to be pushing are the activities of an organization called the Global Battery Alliance (GBA) — and its freshly published Greenhouse Gas Rulebook.
A piece on the group’s site manages to work a type of digital ID into the whole story, as a component in monitoring the impact car batteries have on the environment, with the rulebook designed to calculate and track “greenhouse gas” footprint linked to lithium-ion batteries, whether used in vehicles or elsewhere.

China Says Its Digital Currency Will Offer “Controllable Anonymity”

Opponents of these schemes, however, say there is nothing particularly “convenient” in having more potential for surveillance and tracking woven into yet another key area of life.

Video: CNBC’s Jim Cramer Goes on Bizarre Pro-China COVID Lockdown, Vaccine Propaganda Rant
Financial analyst Jim Cramer appeared to confuse the hell out of his CNBC co-hosts Tuesday by going on a bizarre rant about Chinese COVID lockdown and vaccine propaganda being a good thing.
The context for the strange outburst is that news of China potentially easing COVID restrictions and re-opening has seen improvements in the stock market.
China’s change in direction after months of brutal lockdowns is reportedly to be headed up by the nation’s chief propagandist.
And that’s where Cramer came in to sell the ‘good side’ of propaganda, noting that we only think of propaganda being bad because of “regimes we didn’t really appreciate.”

Brazilian authorities said on Wednesday they are making headway in their efforts to clear blockades set up across the country by truckers to protest President Jair Bolsonaro’s narrow loss to leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in an Oct. 30 runoff election.
Brazil’s Federal Highway Police (PRF) said protesters were blocking highways partially or fully in 146 locations as of early Wednesday evening, down from around 190 the previous night. The blockades began Sunday after polls closed in Brazil.
Although smaller than in previous days, the protests are still likely disrupting fuel distribution, industrial activity, food deliveries to supermarkets and shipments of grains to ports.

The capital of Austria has been hit with a wave of shocking rape cases involving migrant men, but a conservative politician in Vienna now faces a Twitter suspension simply for criticizing the police response to the crisis,
A post by Dominik Nepp, the chairman of the Vienna branch of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), allegedly violated the rules on hate speech, according to Twitter. Nepp wrote in his post that there have been a number of attacks in Vienna involving “girls who were raped by asylum seekers.” He criticized the police, writing that they merely boasted “they had responded to a crime involving a drunk who had fallen asleep” by waking him up. Twitter slapped the post with a suspension and warned that “repeated violations will lead to a permanent suspension of the account.”

German Government Sweeps Immigration Problem Under the Rug

Fourteen council leaders penned a letter to U.K. Home Secretary Suella Braverman warning her department that they are close to “breaking point” with local services too stretched to accommodate any more asylum seekers arriving in the country.
Signatories of the letter published on Tuesday are the leaders of local authorities across Kent and Medway, located in the southeast of England and on the front line of what Braverman herself described as the “invasion” of asylum seekers who continue to make their way across the English Channel to reach British shores.
The letter explains that since 2015, the county of Kent has “borne the brunt” of what should be a “national issue” in tackling the migration crisis, and warned it simply cannot accommodate the Home Office’s request to take on more asylum seekers.

Dwyane Wade and wife Gabrielle Union have been very public about Wade’s 15-year-old child’s gender transition. They’ve spoken about it on Ellen, they petitioned to have the child’s name legally changed in August, and now the child’s mother, Wade’s ex-wife, has petitioned a judge to slam the breaks on the child’s sex change.
Wade’s ex claims that Wade has been “exploiting” Zaya, who “came out” as transgender at the age of 12. Siohvaughan Funches-Wade has now filed paperwork to ask a judge to hold off on the legal name change, saying that Zaya’s modeling contracts and influencer deals are Wade’s impetus for forging ahead with the gender transition.

Ontario School Board Guide Tells Teachers to Hide Children’s Gender From Parents
A gender expression guide quietly released in September by the Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) instructs teachers to not disclose the gender identity kids identify with to parents and guardians regardless of age, if requested to do so by the child.
“Changes to official records do not require consent from parents/guardians; however, legal guardians of a student have the right to access the student’s records,” writes the RCDSB.
“Regardless of age or grade, staff must keep a student’s gender identity and gender expression status confidential unless the student gives explicit consent to inform the parent(s)/guardian(s), or there is a specific ‘need to know’ (e.g., to fulfill a specific accommodation request).”

Peter C. Gøtzsche, MD is a Danish medical researcher,
and leader of the Nordic Cochrane Center at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, Denmark.
He has written numerous reviews within the Cochrane collaboration. Dr.Gøtzsche has been critical of screening for breast cancer using mammography, arguing that it cannot be justified; His critique stems from a meta-analysis he did on mammography screening studies and published as Is screening for breast cancer with mammography justifiable? in The Lancet in 2000. In it he discarded 6 out of 8 studies arguing their randomization was inadequate. In 2006 a paper by Gøtzsche on mammography screening was electronically published in the European Journal of Cancer ahead of print. The journal later removed the paper completely from the journal website without any formal retraction. The paper was later published in Danish Medical Bulletin with a short note from the editor, and Gøtzsche and his coauthors commented on the unilateral retraction that the authors were not involved in. In 2012 his book Mammography Screening: Truth, Lies and Controversy was published. In 2013 his book Deadly Medicines and Organized Crime: How Big Pharma has Corrupted Healthcare was published. http://www.cochrane.org/
