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!

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.

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.”

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 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.

A 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:

The World Economic Forum has spoken and chosen its newest climate change darling – Xiye Bastida. 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.
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.

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.
On March 19, 2003, the United States, along with coalition forces primarily from the United Kingdom, initiates war on Iraq. Just after explosions began to rock Baghdad, Iraq’s capital, U.S. President George W. Bush announced in a televised address, “At this hour, American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger.” President Bush and his advisors built much of their case for war on the specious claim that Iraq, under dictator Saddam Hussein, possessed or was in the process of building weapons of mass destruction.

This week, Your News to Know rounds up the latest top stories involving precious metals and the overall economy. Stories include: Gold dazzles for another week as it passes $2,150 again, what we’ve learned about why gold is going up, and what it’s like to be a Chinese gold consumer right now.
Another week of sitting back and seeing how far analysts are willing to push today’s gold price predictions for the year. We were here last week at $2,080, and $2,150 is the latest pit stop in the race to $3,000. Right now, sky-high forecasts are abundant.

Some time in the past, liberal thinkers of the Western worldview cultivated a concept called “cultural relativism,” which has since rendered the Western mind a stupefied mess, unable to pass any sort of moral judgment at all on other cultures — let alone assert its own superiority when it’s warranted (almost all cultures have at least something that they offer better than the rest; the culture-making art is taking — “appropriating,” if you will — those elements of foreign cultures that are noble and discarding those that are not).
I have explored this phemonenon and its manifestations at great lengths in my expat memoir, Broken English Teacher: Notes From Exile.

Orwell wrote about telling the truth being a revolutionary act – in a time of universal deceit. But what led to the time of universal deceit? Such as the one we’re living in right now?
James Kunstler pinned the tail on the totalitarian donkey the other day. He wrote that “a society hostile to truth can’t possibly remain civilized, because it will also be hostile to reality.”
