The power pendulum swings from West to East.
The rise and fall of empires throughout recorded history were periods of volatility and conflict. When plotting a historical timeline showing the 'life-span' of consecutive empires, each empire forms a sinusoidal peak. The decline of the prevailing empire and the rise of the emerging empire intersects at a point, depicting a transition period. That transition is a multiyear process ushering in the 'changing of the guards', which results in a tectonic shift of economy and culture. This trend of transitions has similar parallels pertaining to war and reserve currency status. Let us examine the past 400 years of world reserve currencies. The first cycle marks the rise and fall of the Dutch Empire which was dominated by the use of a gold/silver backed guilder standard. The second cycle began with the rise of the British Empire where it crossed with the decline of the Dutch Empire marking an intersection point. One of the major events at that point was the 4th Anglo-Dutch war during the...

Two inmates at all-women's New Jersey jail are PREGNANT after both had sex with transgender prisoners
Two women at New Jersey's only all-women's prison have both fallen pregnant after having sex with transgender inmates. The pregnant women, who were not identified, are housed at the embattled Edna Mahan Correctional Facility, in Clinton, which New Jersey Governor announced plans to close last year. Prison bosses said that in both instances, the sex was consensual.

Veep in free fall: Even California voters souring on Kamala Harris
Vice President Kamala Harris's popularity in her home state of California has fallen to a new low, according to a poll conducted this month. The Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll, which surveyed nearly 9,000 registered voters in California from March 29 to April 5, found that Harris's approval has sunk even as President Joe Biden's has seen a slight bump in the Golden State. Just 35 percent of voters approve of Harris's performance, while 45 percent disapprove. That's down from the last Berkeley poll two months ago, which showed 38 percent approval of the vice president. Her disapproval rating fell by 1 point during that time period.

Marine Le Pen proposes closer Nato-Russia ties after Ukraine war, leave Nato 'integrated command'
The French far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen has said that once the Russia-Ukraine war is over, she would propose closer links between Nato and Russia and pull France out of the military command of the US-led alliance. "As soon as the Russian-Ukrainian war is over and has been settled by a peace treaty, I will call for the implementation of a strategic rapprochement between Nato and Russia," she said at a press conference. Le Pen, who is polling at 45% to Emmanuel Macron's 55% for the presidential runoff vote on 24 April, called the press conference on foreign policy to try to take the spotlight off her previous close relationship with Vladimir Putin, which has led to claims from Macron that she was "complacent" and "financially dependent" on the Kremlin.

CIA chief names biggest threat
The intelligence boss called Beijing the "greatest challenge," while noting the "nuclear threat" posed by Russia. CIA Director William Burns outlined the major threats facing the United States, pointing to China's rise on the world stage and Russia's ongoing military offensive in Ukraine as top challenges, while declaring that US intelligence has entered a "new era." Speaking at the Georgia Institute of Technology on Thursday for his first public speech ever as CIA head, Burns argued that "an increasingly adversarial China and a pugnacious and revisionist Russia" have forced the intel agency to "reimagine itself to compete successfully in this new age."

US-NATO Goes Global: NATO Declares Its Intent to Include All Countries. Conquer and Control the Entire World?
When a military alliance that is headed by the world's most powerful country (America) makes public that it is hostile against (aiming to control) both of the other two most powerful countries (Russia and China), then it actually exists in order to conquer (include), ultimately, ALL countries, and to replace the United Nations — the current authoritative source of international law[1]. What this implies is to replace the U.N. and its authorized agencies, by the U.S.-proposed "rules-based international order," whose "rules" come not from FDR's envisioned U.N., but instead come from the post-WW-II Deep State or Military-Industrial Complex, the billionaires who control the armaments and global extraction and media firms and the U.S. Government itself, which latter Government will become imposed upon the world (all countries except America) by the world's most powerful country (America), which had created and leads that military alliance (NATO) and is now publicly aiming to conquer...

Russia agrees Austria can pay for gas in euros, Vienna declares it wants 'sanctions to hurt Russian Federation'
Following his visit to Moscow, earlier this week, Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer has stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin assured him that gas will continue to be delivered to the country and that Vienna will be allowed to continue paying for it in euros. "Putin told me that the gas supply is safe, that Russia will deliver the contractually agreed quantities and that payments can continue to be made in euros," Nehammer told Austrian APA and German DPA news agencies on Wednesday. The chancellor also noted that Austria, which still gets 80% of its gas from Russia, opposes an immediate EU gas embargo on Moscow, arguing that it is simply not possible at the moment and would mean that both Austrian industry and households would suffer serious harm, while not having much of an effect on Russia.

FLASHBACK: How the Pentagon tried to cure America of its 'Vietnam syndrome
In August 1965, Morley Safer, a reporter for "CBS News," accompanied a unit of U.S. marines on a search-and-destroy mission to the Vietnamese village of Cam Ne. Using cigarette lighters and a flamethrower, the troops proceeded to burn down 150 houses, wound three women, kill one child and take four men prisoner. Safer and his crew caught it all on film. The military command later claimed that the unit had received enemy fire. But according to Safer, no pitched battle had taken place. The only death had been the boy, and not a single weapon had been uncovered. In describing the reaction, Safer would later say that the public, the media and the military all began to realize that the rules of war reporting had changed. The New Yorker's Michael Arlen dubbed Vietnam the "living room war." The images of the war - viewed on evening news shows on the country's three networks - enabled the public to understand the war's human costs. In this sense, media coverage contributed to the flow of...

Hundreds of miles of roads were shut down, ranchers and their animals faced brutal conditions — and will see more tough weather ahead. Meanwhile, snowdrifts in some spots were estimated to be higher than 10 feet in some places. Sheep managed to find higher ground from being buried by a snowdrift on April 12 in Molt, Montana. These sheep are built for snow but not for wind. All sheep are alive and accounted for. The sun was out and shining Wednesday morning in Molt, Montana — a stark contrast to the blizzard conditions that had kept Sara Hollenbeck busy on her ranch, working to keep the wind and snow from burying her sheep.

Searching for war criminals - They are nearer than you think
The United States is now insisting that Russian President Vladimir Putin should be put on trial for "war crimes" committed in Ukraine. As Putin is still insisting that he will attend the upcoming G20 summit in November on the island of Bali, Indonesia, it will be a great opportunity to have US Marshalls snatch him from the stage and whisk him off to a federal courthouse in Virginia for justice to be served. Or a form of justice anyway, since the United States has no actual jurisdiction over where Putin's alleged crimes might have taken place and it will be impossible to prove that he actually ordered anyone to carry out so-called "crimes against humanity." We'll see how it all works out. Indeed, there is no other phrase that has been more misunderstood and generally abused of late than "war crimes" or "war criminals." It belongs with several other labels, including "weapons of mass destruction" and "crimes against humanity" that are used to indicate an adversary has crossed a red...

Florida GOP Gov. DeSantis signs into law state's 15-week abortion ban
Florida becomes the most recent red-run state to limit abortion access. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday signed into law a measure that bans abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The measure will go into effect on July 1 without no exceptions for pregnancies as the result of rape, incest or human trafficking. However, it allows for cases in which the pregnancy is a "serious risk" to the mother or if a fatal fetal abnormality is detected and confirmed by two physicians.

BEST OF THE WEB: Why the New World Order Wants Programmable Currency
Technocracy is the proverbial operating system for the "superclass," a centralized global elite that is working toward securing the exclusive ownership of all the world's assets, reducing the rest of us to indebted serfs. While the plans for a NWO based on technocracy, i.e., The Great Reset and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, are clearly outlined on websites like that of the World Economic Forum (WEF), and world leaders are using these terms on a regular basis, when people point out the nefarious meaning of these terms, they're typically dismissed as loony conspiracy theorists.1 But the NWO is no conspiracy theory. It's not even theory. It's a fact, and details of the plan are publicly available for anyone willing to look at them. As noted by Russell Brand in the featured video, the way you stay in power is by discrediting the opposition. Calling the opposition crackpot is the oldest trick in the book.

According to Environment Canada, only twice since 1902 has Saskatchewan received this much snow in April within a 72-hour time period. Snowblowers and shovelling could not keep up with the 20-40 cm of snow dropping in just the past 24 hours. Estevan received the most snow with 40 cm of the white stuff falling on that town.

It's time for transparency of the embedded costs of going "green"
The worldwide movement toward the electrification of everything, from intermittent electricity by industrial wind and solar farms, to more electric vehicles, the political actions are supportive of jumping onto the green train, most-likely not knowing there is a darker side of green technology, associated with environmental degradation, humanity atrocities, and other embedded costs for materials. A recent report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) notes: "A typical electric car requires six times the mineral inputs of a conventional car and an onshore wind plant requires nine times more mineral resources than a gas-fired plant". Nickel: A major component of the EV batteries, is found just below the topsoil in the Rainforests of Indonesia and the Philippines. As a result, the nickel is extracted using horizontal surface mining that results in extensive environmental degradation: deforestation and removal of the top layer of soil. Lithium: Over half of the world's Lithium...
