On Saturday morning, September 14, 2019, a few drones – were they drones or long-range missiles? – hit the Saudis most important two oil fields, set them ablaze, apparently knocking out half of the Saudi crude production – but measured in terms of world production it is a mere 5%. Could be made up in no time by other Gulf oil producers – or indeed, as the Saudis said, by the end of September 2019 their production is back to ‘normal’ – to pre-attack levels.

Victims of dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein say he paid doctors and psychiatrists to dope them up with anti-anxiety and antidepressant medications, according to a new report in the Miami Herald.
“There were doctors and psychiatrists and gynecologist visits. There were dentists who whitened our teeth. There was a doctor who gave me Xanax. What doctor in their right mind, who is supposed to protect their patients, gives girls and young women Xanax?” said victim Virginia Giuffre, who was recruited into Epstein’s world when she was just 16-years-old.

How did Jeffrey Epstein make his millions? The second episode of “Epstein: Devil in Darkness“ reveals some of his financier’s shady business practices and how he spent the money he made on them — namely, the lavish properties where he often entertained guests, including women who were allegedly and concerningly young.
“I was greatly impressed with his demeanor, his ability to understand complex securities underwritings and sales to investors,” Steven Hoffenburg, a former Wall Street executive said in particular about Epstein’s role in the infamous Towers Financial collapse when Hoffenburg was a chief executive officer. “He was also broke. He was literally without funds because he got into trouble in Europe.” Hoffenburg claimed that Epstein got involved in criminal activity including “money laundering, spying and arms deals in different countries overseas” to make money long before he ever got wrapped up with Towers Financial.

JFK warned the citizenry about “an announced need for increased security” that would be “seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment.

I’ve brought you the story of political prisoner Schaeffer Cox and how our own government plotted to murder him, his wife and his son after he exposed their corruption and human trafficking in Alaska during his congressional candidacy.
In a letter by Schaeffer Cox on the FreeSchaeffer.com website, he recounts something that happened in the very illegal place under our Constitution where he is being unlawfully held: “I have the same horrible nightmare every night.”

Conservative and Trump-supporting publishers know that they are constantly punished for their content by the Left-wing social media behemoths Facebook, Google, Twitter, YouTube, and others.
In fact, Twitter violates its own rules in order to ban conservative content while allowing Left-wing content to remain on its platform. And of course, several whistleblowers have come forth to explain how Google is altering its search algorithms and news feeds to downgrade any content that is to the right of Karl Marx and generally supportive of President Donald Trump.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Senator Elizabeth Warren is embroiled in controversy once again, this time after she admitted to wearing racially offensive “paleface” at a costume party back in her college days.
“As a proud Native American woman, I now realize that dressing as a white woman at that party all those years ago was insensitive and offensive,” she said in a heartfelt apology video. “It was wrong of me to culturally appropriate white culture, as I am only 1023/1024th white European colonizer.”

The hullabaloo in the repo market torpedoed the function of Interest on Excess Reserves and forced the Fed to go back to the future.
With its announcement this morning, the New York Fed confirmed that the Fed’s Plan A of manipulating the federal funds rate into its target range – now between 1.75% and 2.0% — has miserably failed, and that it will switch to Plan B to control short-term interest rates. But this Plan B used to be Plan A that the Fed had routinely deployed to control short-term interest rates before the Financial Crisis. So back to the future.
