The Failed Promises We Made to the Youth

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

The video above is an accurate depiction of how Millennials and Gen Z are operating in today’s economy. They were told that working hard and obtaining a higher education could afford the American Dream. Instead, they are unable to access home ownership, begin families, and are crippled by debt. Analysts now seem perplexed at the birthrate crisis and why the younger generations are not having families. Those unfamiliar with stark differences in the cost of living over the last few decades do not understand that the promises made to the younger generations were built on lies.

How the Clintons Destabilized Haiti

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Haiti has been propelled into a downward spiral ever since the Clinton Foundation stepped in to “help.” They have successfully destabilized the nation. Haiti is now a lawless land ruled by a gang leader called BBQ for his brutal tactics, and yes, the reports of cannibalism among gang members is factual. Over 2.5 million residents in Haiti were living in extreme poverty without sufficient food, water, or shelter before the gangs toppled what remained of the nation in early March. It is too dangerous for humanitarian agencies to enter the country. The gangs released over 4,000 inmates from the prisons and ran the prime minister out of office. Where are people fleeing?

Goodbye Google

Story at-a-glance

  • In early April 2020, Mercola.com purposely blocked Google from indexing our articles and breaking news blog posts
  • I encourage you to search every site’s privacy policy page to see if they use Google Analytics or Google Ad programs, and if they do, encourage them to stop
  • Nearly every non-major website is using Google’s “free” analytics program, as well as their advertising platforms. Alas, those services are not actually free. Ultimately, YOU pay for them with your personal data, as that is the product Google sells. Collectively, all of these sites are stealing an enormous amount of your private information
  • Google’s powers pose several threats to society. First of all, it’s a surveillance agency with significant yet hidden surveillance powers. It’s also a censoring agency with the ability to restrict or block access to websites across the internet, thus deciding what people can and cannot see
  • Google also has the power to manipulate public opinion through search rankings and other means, and the shifts in thinking produced are both rapid and enormous

In early April 2020, Mercola.com became one of the first websites to purposely block Google from indexing our articles and breaking news blog posts. Most of you are well aware that I’ve had concerns about the surveillance capitalists, spearheaded by Google, for a number of years.

John Grisham Finds Justice Not in the System, but in the System’s Defeat

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

A while back I wrote about British female authors of mystery novels during 1920-1940, such as Agatha Christy, Dorothy Sayers, Ngaio Marsh, and Elspeth Huxley, the last two being colonial British. I noted at the time that even in the case of murder in the novels, those decades as portrayed in the novels were a highly civilized period in England. Readers have let me know that they, also, have found relief from our woeful times in the civilized recent past described in British mystery novels.

Free Speech Either is – or it Isn’t

Guest Post by Eric Peters

Rand Paul has been defending free speech again – the bastard.

He says Americans – everyone – ought to be worried about their freedom to speak (more finely, to read and hear about things the government and corporations don’t want them to read and hear about) being arbitrated by government – and corporations.

But, the Chinese!

Gold vs. Bitcoin: The Ultimate Competition To Be the World’s Best Money

Guest Post by Nick Giambruno

Did you know the Bitcoin price reached parity with the gold price in April 2017 and never looked back?

Today, buying a single Bitcoin takes over 30 ounces of gold.

Put differently, it takes about 0.032 BTC—3,200,000 satoshis—to buy an ounce of gold.

Will U.S. Trade Cash for CBDCs? Fed Sends Mixed Messages

Guest Post by Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.

Despite recent statements to the contrary by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, the U.S. Federal Reserve appears to be proceeding with the development of central bank digital currency (CBDC) infrastructure. Critics weigh in on Powell’s statements and what CBDCs — and going cashless — would mean for U.S. citizens.

The U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) appears to be proceeding with the development of central bank digital currency (CBDC) infrastructure — including hiring software developers — despite recent statements to the contrary by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

“People don’t need to worry about a central bank digital currency, nothing like that is remotely close to happening anytime soon,” Powell said in his March 7 testimony before the Senate Banking Committee.

“If we were to ever do something like this, and we’re a very long way from even thinking about it, we would do this through the banking system,” Powell said. “The last thing … we the Federal Reserve would want would be to have individual accounts for all Americans.”

The Most Serious And Volatile And Consequential War Zone On Earth

Via State of the Nation

The US-UK-UA-EU-NATO terrorist group
is literally pushing Russia into a full-blown
WW3 scenario.

Submitted by The Armchair Geopolitical Analyst

There’s a not a week that goes now when the West does not perpetrate a major provocation against Russia.

In point of fact, the US-UK-UA-EU-NATO terror group carries out a devastating terrorist attack on the Russian Oil and Gas Industry with deliberate regularity now—to provoke the bear.


THIS WILL NOT END WELL!
US-UK-NATO Terror Group Launching Terrorist Attacks
Against Russian Oil Industry From Ukraine

This asymmetric terror war, being purposefully waged on both Russian energy infrastructure and civilian population centers, has nothing to do with the Ukraine War; it has to do with the Zio-Anglo-American Axis primary objective of conquering the Russian Federation.

Bloodbath Propaganda

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

BloodbathPropogandaA quote by former President Trump was completely taken out of context and used by the leftist media to create an ongoing propaganda campaign. I will note the full context of his speech, but in short, Trump used the phrase “there will be a bloodbath,” and EVERY media outlet is churning out articles stating that the far-right MAGA Republicans plan for a bloodbath this November.

Here is what Donald Trump actually said:

Greta Thunberg has been replaced by a more diverse candidate from the Otomi-Toltec Indigenous community in Mexico who is based in New York City. The WEF said she is one of the top 10 women to watch in 2024, as she will become the new voice of the climate change movement.

Mobility Medicine — How to Maintain Neck Flexibility

Via Mercola

Story at-a-glance

  • Regularly practicing neck exercises — such as lateral bending, occipital neck flexibility, eight-point isometric, and the figure eight exercise — will significantly increase your neck flexibility and range of motion, and reduce stiffness
  • These exercises are designed to strengthen the muscles around your cervical spine, thereby reducing the risk of neck pain and preventing injuries and degeneration
  • These neck exercises can also improve your posture by aligning the spine correctly. This, in turn, can alleviate tension headaches and chronic neck pain
  • The figure eight neck exercise, in particular, challenges balance and proprioception, enhancing mental sharpness and body awareness, which is crucial for daily activities and overall mobility
  • From beginners to more advanced individuals, these exercises can be adapted to fit anyone’s fitness level, emphasizing the importance of starting slow, listening to your body, and progressively increasing intensity

An astonishing 68% of adults have damage in their discs, or cushions, between their cervical vertebrae. This is referred to as cervical disk degeneration. If you don’t have it now, you will likely get it unless you are involved in a neck mobility program. An early sign of this might be noticing a popping or cracking sound, known as crepitus, when you rotate your neck.

Russia — A Democracy that Works

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

With a 75% voter turnout, 87% of the turnout voted for Putin.

No, the election was not rigged. Americans are so accustomed to their elections being rigged that they think all other countries’ elections are rigged also. The whore American media instantly began the required chant: “a fishy election.” Of course, American elections are never fishy, not even when under cover of darkness vote totals are suddenly reversed.
