WHAT WOULD JOSEY WALES DO?

“Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you’re not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. ‘Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That’s just the way it is.” – Josey Wales

“To hell with them fellas. Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms.” – Josey Wales

As our political, economic, civic, and social structures continue to degrade, dissolve, and disintegrate before our very eyes, it is easy to become apathetic and surrender to hopelessness. There are relentless powerful forces actively trying to destroy the fabric of our society and force the masses into economic servitude while caged in an electronic gulag, controlled by an oligarchy of evil totalitarian minded billionaires and their lackeys in key governmental, political, banking, military, media, and corporate positions of power. We are in the same situation as Josey Wales in Clint Eastwood’s epic 1976 film – The Outlaw Josey Wales.

TBP AS AN ECONOMIC INDICATOR

Based upon the results of TBP as we approach the halfway mark of this year, I would say the economy is in the toilet.

Oddly, page views are up dramatically versus last year, while advertising revenue and donations are in the shitter compared to last year. The charts below are a little hard to read, but show page views year to date are up 16% and are tracking to get back to near the 12 million mark we achieved in 2021 and 2022. In case you’re curious, the month in green was the denial of service attack month when TMWNN rode to the rescue and kept TBP alive. Otherwise this place would not have been around for the last ten years.

G7 Dancing with Russian Assets and Poking the Bear

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

The G7 (Group of Seven) leaders reached an agreement on June 13th to utilize frozen Russian assets in their continued support of the war in Ukraine. However, they dance very carefully with the bear. They are NOT handing the actual assets to Ukraine – the most corrupt country perhaps in the world. The Pandora Papers revealed that Ukraine had the highest number of politicians from any country with a secret offshore account. Even Forbes Magazine said that Ukraine owes it to the West to clean up the outrageous corruption. Foreign Policy Magazine asked how deep does the corruption in Ukraine run? The joke in the US is that Biden Administration has created more billionaires than any other administration in history. They all just so happen to be in Ukraine. Others are asking should they just send their income tax directly to Zelenskyy?

IMF Digital Currency to Replace the Dollar

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Years ago, when I wrote that Bitcoin was created by the NSA, some Bitcoiners attacked me and insisted that Satoshi Nakamoto was the creator of Bitcoin.  Yet someone who created such a product never stepped forward and would have been a billionaire on royalties. But this fictional character was not much different than Lee Harvey Oswald, who the CIA has insisted killed JFK with his magic bullet. At least with Oswald, there was a real man who they cleverly ensured he would be killed to deny any trial. Then, the CIA refused to release files to cover up the entire affair.

What Makes All Vaccines So Dangerous?

Guest Post by A Midwestern Doctor

Story at-a-glance

  • Vaccines often cause various side effects, making it hard to identify common causes. Neurologist Andrew Moulden discovered that vaccines frequently trigger microstrokes, which can lead to a myriad of acute and chronic diseases
  • Forgotten research from the 1960s, shows that blood cell clumping is a root cause of many diseases — a belief also shared by Chinese Medicine
  • Colloidal chemistry and zeta potential science reveal that positive charges around blood cells cause clumping. Agents with concentrated positive charges, such as aluminum and the COVID spike protein, are especially problematic
  • Improving the physiologic zeta potential benefits a wide range of acute and chronic illnesses. A strong case can be made that many conventional and holistic therapies work in part by enhancing zeta potential

Many medical problems stem from the diagnostic approach of physicians, especially with complex illnesses, which are often misdiagnosed and lead to ongoing patient struggles.

Which Countries Have Universal Health Coverage?

Via ZeroHedge

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Universal Health Coverage (UHC) means that everyone has access to a full range of health services – from emergency interventions to palliative care – without financial difficulty.

In this graphic, Visual Capitalist’s Julia Wendling uses data from CEOWorld Magazine to visualize the countries that have UHC versus those that do not, along with how UHC coverage breaks down in terms of the global population.

Why Americans Aren’t Buying Biden’s “Strong Economy” Propaganda

Via ZeroHedge

It’s become a bit (or more than a bit) of a joke: Biden is doing everything in his power – and beyond that too now that Fed Chair Jerome Powell has admitted what we have been saying all along and that the White House has been “overstating” jobs – to prove to America just how great his “economic recovery” is, and the more he tries the more people hate it.

And the funny thing is, the responses themselves are prima facie evidence of precisely the propaganda embedded in this discussion.

Consider that last October, the WSJ published an op-ed by the ultra liberal Alan Blinder titled “The Economy Is Great. Why Do Americans Blame Biden?” (his conclusion was “Inflation is lower, but some won’t be happy until prices come down too. That would be a disaster.”) A few months later, in April, the even more liberal WSJ editorialist Greg Ip wrote “What’s Wrong With the Economy? It’s You, Not the Data.” These desperate attempts to spark adoration for Bidenomics were a disaster, and in May the University of Michigan consumer confidence cratered the most since August 2021…

… forcing the WSJ to point out the painfully obvious: in an article from the editorial board titled “Why Biden Is Losing on the Economy“, the WSJ capitulated and pointed out the glaringly obvious: “The average annual inflation rate during his Presidency is 5.5%. Under Trump it was 1.9%.”

This Is The Income Needed To Live ‘Comfortably’ In Every US State

Via ZeroHedge

Individuals in the top 11 most expensive states in the U.S. need an annual income exceeding $100,000 to live comfortably.

This map, via Visual Capitalist’s Bruno Venditti, shows how much income single adults need to live comfortably in each U.S. state. SmartAsset calculated the income needed using the cost of necessities sourced from the MIT Living Wage Calculator, last updated on Feb. 14, 2024.

In this case, “comfortable” was defined as the annual income required to cover a 50/30/20 budget, allocating 50% of earnings to necessities such as housing and utility costs, 30% to discretionary spending, and 20% to savings or investments.

As Russian Warships Threaten Florida Coast, Biden Responds Decisively To Ensure Safety Of All Pride Murals

Via The Babylon Bee

MIAMI, FL — In the wake of the sighting of a Russian naval flotilla not far from the coast of Florida, President Biden, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, has swiftly and competently reacted to the situation in order to defend his top security priority: all of the Florida Pride murals.

According to National Security sources, the Russian task force which includes a nuclear submarine and a frigate could pose a threat to US sovereignty, but more importantly, they might splash water – or even leave tire tracks – on gay pride murals. The National Guard and the Coast Guard have been ordered to dispatch troops to keep a 24-hour watch on all Pride murals within a 250-mile radius of the Russian ships.

Former CDC Director Admits Flaws Of COVID Vaccines, Says Mandates Were Disastrous ‘Overreach’

Guest Post by Ian Miller

Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, anyone who questioned lockdowns, mask mandates, the lab leak, or school closures was vilified by the media, politicians, and the “expert” community.

Unproven policies without any supporting evidence, as even Dr. Anthony Fauci now admits, were suddenly immutable truths that could not be questioned. Those who did raise legitimate questions about the efficacy of such policies were labeled “grandma killers” or anti-science “freedumb” lovers.

Well, in a surprising turn of events you can now count the former head of the CDC as a member of the “anti-science” community. In particular was the role of Covid vaccines, and how influential Big Pharma was in pushing for indefensible mandates.

Timely Lessons About Tyranny from the Father of the Constitution

Guest Post by John W. Whitehead

“Take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties.” — James Madison

James Madison, often referred to as the “Father of the Constitution,” once predicted that the Bill of Rights would become mere “parchment barrier,” words on paper ignored by successive generations of Americans.

How right he was.

Although Madison initially felt that the inclusion of a bill of rights in the originally ratified Constitution was unnecessary to its success, Thomas Jefferson persuaded him that “a bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, & what no just government should refuse, or rest on inferences.”

The Bill of Rights drafted by Madison—the first ten amendments to the Constitution—was a document so revolutionary at the time that it would come to be viewed as the epitome of American liberty. The rights of the people reflected in those ten amendments encapsulated much of Madison’s views about government, the corrupting influence of power, and the need for safeguards against tyranny.

Madison’s writings speak volumes to the present constitutional crisis in the country.

Read them and weep.

Trump Narrows the Field for Veep

Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter

The clock is ticking toward the Big Pick – who is Trump going to select to be his veep nominee? Usually, we would find out around the time of the convention in mid-July, but the President might want to do it sooner. He’s a master showman and will drop the news when it will have the maximum effect, but that Democrat judge in New York might make him announce his selection through one of those glass booths at Riker’s Island – which, judging by the support and money Trump got when the kangaroo kourt temporarily framed him, might just lead to Trump and the lucky selectee winning in a landslide.

The summer of living dangerously

Guest Post by Pepe Escobar

The plutocracy believes that afterwards they can buy the whole thing for a pittance while flies are still laying eggs in European carcasses.

So Le Petit Roi in Paris was predictably crushed in the European polls. He has called parliamentary snap elections, dissolving the Assemblée Nationale in an act of blind, puerile revenge on French citizens, de facto attacking French institutional democracy.

That doesn’t mean much anyway, because the lineaments of “liberty, equality, fraternity” have long been usurped by a crass oligarchy.

The second round of these fresh French elections will be on July 7 – nearly coinciding with the British snap elections on July 11, and only a few days before the slow-burning urban catastrophe which will be the Olympics in Paris.
