FAST FOOD PRICES: GOOD NEWS OR BAD NEWS?

“In twentieth-century Old Earth, a fast food chain took dead cow meat, fried it in grease, added carcinogens, wrapped it in petroleum-based foam, and sold nine hundred billion units. Human beings. Go figure.” ― Dan Simmons

So everyone knows Bidenomics, in conjunction with Jerome Powell’s massive money printing, has resulted in a surge in food, energy and almost all prices. This inflation most certainly hurts the poorest people the most. Where do poor people eat? Fast food joints.

As you can see from the chart below, the top 3 fast food joints have increased their prices astronomically since 2019. Their corporate profits have been solid, as they pass their increased expenses onto the customers, with an up-charge for good measure.

An American Nobody Stares Into Mordor

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

All throughout history stories have been told by those whose insights and experiences had inspired said stories. The bestselling book in the world, the Bible, for example, is full of stories and parables that have influenced generations. Accordingly, bloggers like me and others will often reference such narratives to utilize widely-known and commonly understood history, facts, and details to make our points.  Furthermore, these universal associations can be used as launching pads, so to speak, to expand upon other ideas and perspectives.

In my early teens, I devoured the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien and his “Lords of the Rings” series beginning with “The Hobbit” and followed by “The Fellowship of the Ring”, “The Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”, respectively. I also read “The Silmarillion” which was a precursor to the other books and originating thousands of years before the fictional events of “The Hobbit”.

Over two decades ago, the “Fellowship of the Ring” movies were released in theaters. The original three films (“The Fellowship of the Ring”, “The Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”) were directed by Peter Jackson and are widely considered as cinematic masterpieces today.

A “State of Devolution”

Guest Post by Eric Peters

What are styled “conspiracy theories” are often compelling because they seem at least plausible – and when you combine that with the hope that they might be factual you have what is styled a “state of devolution.”

DOJ Authorizes Postal Workers To Use Deadly Force On Trump When Delivering His Mail

Via The Babylon Bee

U.S. — Unsealed documents from the Department of Justice reveal that postal workers were formally authorized to use deadly force while delivering mail to Mar-a-Lago.

“This is standard procedure,” confirmed Attorney General Merrick Garland. “We are in no way secretly targeting Donald Trump. We are merely authorizing mail carriers to fire on Donald Trump if he shows up to collect his mail. This is for the safety of our postal workers and is nothing out of the ordinary.”

Doug Casey on How Artificial Intelligence Will Radically Transform the World

Via International Man

International Man: Amazing new technologies—once the realm of science fiction—are now an imminent reality.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most critical areas where this is happening.

What is your take on AI advancements, and how do you see it evolving in the future?

Doug Casey: AI is going to be huge. No, strike that gross understatement—it’s already huge. It will change everything. There’s no question the abilities of technology are increasing exponentially, at the rate of Moore’s Law. In other words, computing power is still doubling roughly every 18 to 24 months while the cost halves. This is also true in the areas of biotech, nanotech, robotics, 3D printing, and genetic engineering. These technologies are going to fundamentally transform the very nature of life itself. AI will accelerate their progress by an order of magnitude.

Founding Fathers Quotes on Government, Democracy, and Placing Power in the People

The views of the Founders on the subject of democracy are complicated and difficult to articulate in sound bites. On the one hand, the Founders championed seating power in the people of the nation rather than an aristocracy or a monarch. On the other hand, they all feared the power of King Mob and the tyranny of the majority over a minority. To that end, the Constitution is filled with a number of measures that prevent the majoritarian rule of simple democracy.

The government was never seen by the Founders as a provider of anything but a very generalized common security. Laws were seen as more important than men. At best, the government was seen as a necessary evil to allow for the continued functioning of a peaceful society. Those who sought power through the government, rather than seeking to serve their countrymen, were implicitly distrusted.

Media: Gen Z is Doomed

Guest Post by

Years after the fact, the mainstream media is discovering that Gen Z is doomed. As CNN puts it, Gen Z is “earning less, has more debt, and higher delinquency rates than Millennials did at their age.”

In short, the pandemic did a number on Gen Z, followed by a wallop from Bidenflation, lagging wages, and now a looming recession.

How are they surviving? Debt.

A new study from Transunion finds that, since 2013, average debt balances for those aged 22 to 24 has risen by 40%, including a 14% rise in auto loans and a 26% rise in credit card debt.

For those with a mortgage — which is a vanishingly low percent of Gen Z — the average mortgage debt is up by nearly half to $215,000 — quite a bit of debt at 24.

From COVID-19 to Campus Protests: How the Police State Muzzles Free Speech

Guest Post by John W. Whitehead

“Politicians of both parties want to use the power of government to silence their foes. Some in the university community seek to drive it from their campuses. And an entire generation of Americans is being taught that free speech should be curtailed as soon as it makes someone else feel uncomfortable.”—William Ruger, “Free Speech Is Central to Our Dignity as Humans”

The police state does not want citizens who know their rights.

Nor does the police state want citizens prepared to exercise those rights.

This year’s graduates are a prime example of this master class in compliance. Their time in college has been set against a backdrop of crackdowns, lockdowns and permacrises ranging from the government’s authoritarian COVID-19 tactics to its more recent militant response to campus protests.

Zelensky wants NATO to shoot down Russian missiles

Via RT

The Ukrainian leader is baffled as to why his sponsors will not become directly involved

The US and its allies should shoot down Russian missiles, give Ukraine more weapons, and allow Kiev to strike Russia directly, Vladimir Zelensky has told the New York Times.

Zelensky spoke to the US outlet in Kiev on the last official day of his presidential term. He has sought to extend his term for the duration of martial law, which he declared due to the conflict with Russia. He demanded that NATO countries shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine.

CONGRESSIONAL COMPLICITY WILL NOT GO UNANSWERED BY YOU KNOW WHO

Via State of the Nation

Here’s why the U.S. Congress is sanctioning the ICC for issuing
an arrest warrant for war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu.

SOTN Editor’s Note: A guilty psychopath will always strike out at its accuser out of sheer guilt.  This is what they do, and often with great success.  However, that wily tactic will not work in this case because the countless crimes against humanity committed in Gaza by the IDF are simply too egregious and well documented to be covered up.  Not only is the Netanyahu regime finished, every enabler of the Gaza genocide will surely receive their comeuppance.  Quite significantly, the karmic slack is tightening faster by the day for everyone because of the rapidly accelerating End Times scenario overtaking the entire planetary civilization.  Which means that Israel is about to be busted upside the head with a divine four by four.

The Donald Trump show (trial) is almost over

Guest Post by Alex Berenson

The prosecution and defense have rested. Now the New York jury gets six days to listen to NPR, read the Times, and remember why bad Orange Man has to go jail-jail.

Testimony in the Manhattan criminal trial of Donald Trump has ended, with two witnesses telling two stories.

Both cannot be true.

Since last week, Robert Costello and Michael Cohen have told contradictory tales about Trump’s involvement in paying “hush money” to the porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.

Last week, Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, said under oath Trump told him to pay Daniels $130,000 in October 2016 to buy her silence about her alleged affair with Trump. Cohen’s testimony is crucial to the legally dubious effort by Manhattan prosecutors to try Trump on felony charges for Trump’s supposed crime of misclassifying his own internal accounting entries – normally a misdemeanor offense.

But yesterday, Costello testified that Cohen was the one who was lying. Costello said that in 2018, Cohen had told him paying Daniels was Cohen’s own idea, done to win favor with Trump.

Near 0 deaths per year from MMR in the US over the last 6 years. So why do we REQUIRE kids to get the measles jab?

Guest Post by Steve Kirsch

The CDC and WHO claim that the MMR vaccine is the reason there are so few deaths and that the measles vaccines have saved millions of lives. Sorry, not even close. I show you the math. It’s stunning.
Measles: Symptoms, Treatment & Prevention

The MMR vaccine is extremely dangerous. It’s the vaccine associated with the most autism in the US.

Is there a mortality benefit that outweighs the risk?

The answer is no.

Even if you believe everything on the CDC website as to the mortality benefit, the MMR vaccines would save fewer than 5 lives a year in the US at a cost of over 50,000 new autism cases.

Yet, all 50 states in the US require some form of measles vaccination for children. The parents are not given a choice. This is insane.

So autism rates continue to skyrocket while measles deaths hover at around 1 per year.

But no lawmaker wants to talk about it because vaccines are sacred cows.

In this article, I’ll show you all the data that backs up what I said above.

The bottom line: it is absolutely INSANE that all 50 states require measles vaccination. The decision for any health intervention should be up to the parents to make.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) – NIH Used Your Taxes to Fund Wuhan Research

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

NIHCreutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), “a rare brain disorder that leads to dementia,” according to the Mayo Clinic is suddenly on the rise. This prion disease deteriorated the brain, and prions are known to break down proteins perhaps similar to the ones released by the mRNA vaccine. There has been a massive uptick in CJD cases in the past three years – coincidence?

The Migrant Crisis is How Rome Fell – Its Our turn this time

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Merrick Garland, Attorney General, is truly a national disgrace. The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a suit against Oklahoma today over a state law that seeks to impose criminal penalties on those living in the state illegally. The law makes illegal aliens subject to two years in prison for living in the state without legal immigration status. Garland is trying to make sure illegal aliens are here for the 2024 election so they can continue their coup and deprive the “rich,” whom they define as people with jobs.

Childhood Vaccine Schedule Led to ‘Greatest Decline in Public Health in Human History’

Via Mercola

Story at-a-glance

  • A U.S. Senate roundtable discussion, hosted by Sen. Ron Johnson, tackled a taboo topic — why public health agencies have not studied the health outcomes of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children
  • In 1962, children received just five vaccine doses. As of 2023, children up to age 18 receive 73 doses of 16 different vaccines; the cumulative effects of this childhood vaccine schedule have never been tested
  • Research shows vaccinated children experienced significantly higher instances of various health issues, including allergies, asthma, behavioral issues and gastroenteritis
  • The 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act requires the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to report on vaccine safety every two years, but the agency has “never submitted a vaccine safety report to Congress”
  • Health agencies have data on health outcomes for vaccinated and unvaccinated children, but they refuse to make it public, likely due to financial conflicts of interest

A U.S. Senate roundtable discussion, hosted by Sen. Ron Johnson, tackled a taboo topic — why public health agencies have not studied the health outcomes of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children — and have refused to make data on the topic available to the public.1
