What Is The "Great Reset" And What Do The Globalists Actually Want?
I first heard the phrase "Great Reset" way back in 2014. Christine Lagarde, who was head of the IMF at the time, was suddenly becoming very vocal about global centralization. It was an agenda that was generally only whispered about in the dark corners of institutional white papers and the secretive meetings of banking elites, but now these people were becoming rather loud about it. Lagarde was doing a Q&A at the World Economic Forum and the notion of the "Reset" was very deliberately brought up; what the project entailed was vague, but the basic root of it was a dramatic shift away from the current economic, social and political models of the world into a globally centralized and integrated system - A "New World Order," if you will... It's important to remember that we had just jumped through the fires of an international credit collapse which started in 2008 and had continued to cause uncertainty in markets for years. The central banks had dumped tens of trillions of dollars...

What are the effects of America's narcissism epidemic?
There's a strong case to be made that since the end of World War II, Americans have grown increasingly narcissistic on average - more entitled, with an inflated sense of self-importance. Psychologists Jean Twenge and W. Keith Campbell are most responsible for collecting data and creating a narrative to support this claim. According to the duo, the rise began with the Baby Boomers, who grew up in an era of relative ease and plenty after their grandparents endured a Great Depression and their parents soldiered and sacrificed through World War II. By the time they were college-aged, Boomers eschewed the collectivist mindset of their elders in favor of individualism. The trend continued with Boomers' kids. As Dennis Shen wrote for the London School of Economics' Phelan United States Centre, "One study comparing teenagers found that while only 12% of those aged 14-16 in the early 1950s agreed with the statement "I am an important person", 77% of boys and more than 80% of girls of the...

Is your church getting paid by the government to convince the flock to get injected?
According to a report in the Epoch Times, the state of Pennsylvania is paying churches to convince their members to get vaccinated. Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf's administration wants pastors, rabbis and other faith leaders to turn their houses of worship into centers for "vaccination events," using federal grant money as an incentive to lure churches into a partnership with the government. But this is not just going on in Pennsylvania as reported by the Epoch Times. It's going on across the United States. The Epoch Times article reports that Pennsylvania's public health leaders want to "harness the power of community trust in statewide faith-based organizations" to convince people to get a COVID-19 gene-therapy injection. That is a quote from the mission statement of an organization called the Faith-based Organization Coalition. This organization, the Epoch Times reports, is being formed under the state's Department of Health and is expected to launch April 11. The state aims to...

Bucha, Budapest and the multiplying problems of real war criminals
Fungal President Joe Biden openly declared Russian President Vladimir Putin a "war criminal" in a recent outburst while speaking at NATO. He's repeated this in the wake of the initial images coming out of the town of Bucha, Ukraine where an alleged massacre of civilians by Russian soldiers took place. Like many incidents similar to this in the past it is hard to take any of these claims of blame seriously. The US and UK have staged many a 'false flag' operation in the past at convenient times to gin up diplomatic outrage to advance a particular political agenda. That agenda is always to justify more war to deal with the villain du jour. Today it's Putin. In the past it's been Saddam Hussein, Slobodan Milosevic or Bashar al-Assad. The playbook is always the same. Shocking images and film of honest-to-god atrocities against civilians and an endless back and forth of accusations and suppression of real information about the event. Sadly, that becomes the focus not the fact that...

Russia responds to CNN's default claim
A report by US media company CNN about an alleged Russian Eurobond default announcement is not true, the Russian Ministry of Finance said on Tuesday. CNN reported Monday, citing credit-ratings agency S&P, that Moscow has defaulted on its foreign debt because it offered bondholders payments in rubles and not in dollars. "Information posted by CNN does not correspond to the facts," the ministry's statement said, adding "Russia did not announce the default on its Eurobond commitments." "Default means the debtor either has no money to honor his debt liabilities or no desire to honor such liabilities when funds are available. Neither of the two is the case in respect of Russia. The Russian Federation has enough funds to timely service and repay all its debt liabilities," the finance ministry explained.

Canada denies training Ukrainian Neo-Nazis
Canada's military has reportedly provided combat training to members of Ukraine's neo-Nazi Azov regiment, contrary to stated policy and despite previous denials of any official relations between Ottawa and the notorious militia. The apparent connection came to light in photos posted on social media by the Ukrainian National Guard, according to a report on Monday by Radio-Canada. The pictures show soldiers wearing Azov Battalion patches on their uniforms while participating in training with Canadian forces. "According to Oleksiy Kuzmenko, a journalist specializing in the Ukrainian far right, the presence of these patches strongly suggests that the Azov regiment had access to Canadian military training," Radio-Canada said in its report. The patches display a crest that is "firmly and exclusively associated with the Azov regiment," Kuzmenko told the media outlet.

Ukraine investigating reports of chemical weapons attack, Russia rejects accusations
Ukraine said it was checking reports that Russia may have used chemical weapons amid heavy fighting in the port city of Mariupol as the United Kingdom warned of a "response" if the information is proven to be true. Russia has denied the accusations, which follow serious warnings from Western countries of the potential use of a chemical or nuclear weapon in the Ukraine war. Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar said military authorities were investigating claims in Mariupol that an unspecified number of people were suffering respiratory and neurological illnesses after a drone attack. "There is a theory that these could be phosphorous munitions," Malyar said in a television interview on April 12 that adding: "Official information will come later."

Neptune is cooling down and scientists don't know why
Two decades worth of observations revealed unexpected cooling of the solar system's most distant planet Neptune amid its astronomical summer. Neptune is orbiting 30 times farther away from the sun than Earth with one year lasting 165 Earth years. The ice giant's seasons, too, last much longer than those on Earth — more than 40 Earth-years each. As the planet moved into its southern summer over the past two decades, astronomers observed its average global temperatures plummet by a staggering 14 degrees Fahrenheit (8 degrees Celsius). "This change was unexpected," Michael Roman, a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Leicester and lead author on the new paper, said in a statement. "Since we have been observing Neptune during its early southern summer, we would expect temperatures to be slowly growing warmer, not colder."

Scott Ritter: Was the US involved in Pakistani PM's departure, as he claims?
To claim Imran Khan's downfall was solely American doing is to ignore reality. But so is to claim the US had nothing to do with it. In the aftermath of an off-the-cuff remark made by US President Joe Biden about Russian President Vladimir Putin ("For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power!") which many believed articulated a policy of regime change, Secretary of State Antony Blinken was compelled to issue a public clarification. "We do not," Blinken told reporters, "have a strategy of regime change in Russia or anywhere else for that matter." Tell that to the supporters of Pakistan's former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, who this past weekend was removed from power after a vote of no confidence in the Pakistani Parliament which many believe was orchestrated by the United States, who had grown increasingly wary of the former cricket star's criticism of US policy in the region and the world.

'Kiev rejected peace deal, West nourished neo-Nazism to attack Russia' - Putin explains reasons for military operation in Ukraine
12 Apr, 2022 10:59 HomeRussia & FSU Kiev openly rejected the peace deal it signed with Donbass republics, so Moscow had to protect them, the Russian president said Ukraine openly refused to implement a peace deal with rebels from the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics so Russia had no option but to use military force to defend the people living there, Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed on Tuesday. President Volodymyr Zelensky and other Kiev senior officials had "declared that the Minsk agreements cannot be implemented," Putin recalled, referring to the roadmap to peace in Ukraine brokered by Russia, Germany and France. The 2014 and 2015 deals detailed how Kiev could reintegrate its breakaway regions by offering them a general amnesty, greater autonomy, and representation in the government. The Ukrainian government stalled progress on their implementation, claiming that it could only proceed with its side of the bargain after retaking control of the rebel-held areas.

BEST OF THE WEB: Spring snowstorm dumps almost 4 FEET of snow in 24 hours on Tobacco Root Mountains, Montana
This spring storm has brought heavy winds and snow to Jefferson County forcing many motorists to get stuck on the side of the road and road crews to work overtime to try to keep these roadways as clear as possible. "This is the kind of storm we're supposed to have in February and, no, I was in for a total surprise, total shock," said Whitehall resident Gretchen Ressler. Like many motorists caught in the storm that started Monday evening, Gretchen Ressler got stuck in the snow on the pass at Cardwell. "It just slid right off the road and into the ditch and the snow was horizontal, it was pitch black and all I could see was snow, so I had to leave the car there overnight," said Ressler. Experienced truckers were also surprised by this storm. "This one is a good one, this one is going to be, you know, we'll remember this one for a long time," said Billings trucker Rod Albaugh.

The reality is that it is the western sanctions that are responsible. Those sanctions including cutting SWIFT interbank access for key Russian banks and some of the most severe sanctions ever imposed, are hardly having an impact on the military actions in Ukraine. What many overlook is the fact that they are increasingly impacting the economies of the West, especially the EU and USA. A closer look at the state of the global supply of diesel fuel is alarming. But Western sanctions planners at the US Treasury and the EU know fully well what they are doing. And it bodes ill for the world economy.

You know things are bad when Saudi state TV mocks Joe Biden
You know things are bad when Saudi television mocks the president of the United States in a SNL-style spoof. A state-run TV station featured a comedy sketch depicting Joe Biden attempting to address the Ukraine crisis, but he's seen wandering away from the podium and falling asleep mid-sentence, while also being constantly prodded by his VP over what to say given he struggles to remember basic names and information. The sketch went viral after it hit social media on Monday, and comes after last month Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly rejected attempts by the White House to set up a phone call between he and Joe Biden, at a moment the US is urging the Saudis to ramp up oil output.
