Iran Puts 100 Cruise Missiles In Place, United States Moves Destroyers Around The Red Sea As Israel Awaits ‘Imminent’ Incoming Attack From Tehran

by Geoffrey Grinder, Now The End Begins:

Iran has reportedly readied more than 100 cruise missiles as part of an ‘imminent’ strike on Israel after the US moved more forces into the Middle East over fears an attack could spark a full-scale war.

The United States right now is absolutely expecting that Iran will unleash a potentially devastating attack on Israel, so much so that it has positioned aircraft carries and destroyers to defend the Jewish state. I cannot seem to recall the last time that America was in such a position to not only defend Israel, but to be on the front lines with them before the attack took place. You can tell it’s an election year for sure.

New York Governor Admits State Legal Targeting Was Only at Donald Trump

from The Conservative Treehouse:

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has admitted the lawfare deployed against the Trump organization and President Donald Trump himself was a specific plan for his targeting and any other business interests or people within New York should not be concerned.

It’s a rather brazen admission all things considered; however, if it changes the public outlook as the various New York lawfare cases against President Trump continue, is yet to be determined.

The Scientists Modelling Climate Change on Made-Up Planets

by Stephen Tucker, Daily Sceptic:

The famous ‘Fermi Paradox’ asks why, if life really is every bit as prevalent in the cosmos as some astrobiologists claim, with their equally famous ‘Drake Equation’ (which purports to show extraterrestrial life should be teeming just about everywhere in the universe), then where is it all?

One possible answer might be that, once all intelligent civilisations reach a certain point of advancement, they stumble across the so-called ‘Great Filter’, a developmental obstacle which simply can never be overcome, no matter what planet you are living on, which ultimately destroys the whole species in an irreversible Mass Extinction Event. This Great Filter was once often imagined to be nuclear war – now, it is increasingly deemed to be climate change, a phenomenon no cutting-edge industrial civilisation can supposedly ever escape from unscathed, on Earth or off it.

New York Fed Will Not Confirm or Deny that 5-Count Felon JPMorgan Chase Is Custodian of $2.4 Trillion of Its Securities

by Pam Martens and Russ Martens, Wall St On Parade:

As the financial crisis of 2008 was ravaging century-old financial institutions on Wall Street and collapsing the U.S. economy, the central bank of the United States, the Federal Reserve, launched an effort to restore market liquidity by becoming the buyer of the toxic sludge flooding Wall Street in the form of Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS).

On November 25, 2008, in delicately-parsed language, the Fed announced it planned to buy $500 billion of MBS that was backed by government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. That was the first of what would become Quantitative Easing (QE) to infinity at the Fed. The Fed’s MBS holdings have grown from the planned $500 billion to $2.4 trillion as of last Wednesday.

Upcoming ATF Rule Will Ban Most Private Gun Sales

by James Wesley Rawles, Survival Blog:

The ATF’s new re-definition of “Engaged in the Business” of selling firearms is expected to go into effect on or about May 15th. The ATF’s Final Rulemaking was announced on April 8, 2024.  Ignoring the weight of public comment, and ignoring logic, this new set of rules (see text at the ATF website) could make advertising and selling just one gun at a profit without a FFL a felony criminal offense.  Even worse, it shifts the burden of proof from the government to individuals. In effect, you will be assumed to be guilty unless you can prove that you made no profit. Given the ongoing onslaught of currency inflationjust breaking even after allowing for inflation could be deemed a “profit”.

by Dr. Joseph Mercola, Mercola:

  • Recent discussions around “global biosecurity” and the potential for disease outbreaks to foster a totalitarian world government have intensified. A weaponized bird flu could be the next major threat
  • Recent cases of bird flu affecting various mammals, including livestock and pets, suggest the virus may be adapting to new hosts, raising alarms about its potential impact on humans

Putin tells Tucker it would have been ‘culpable negligence’ for Russia to not intervene in Ukraine

by Patrick Delaney, LifeSite News:

‘When did the developments in Ukraine start? Since the coup d’etat and the hostilities in Donbas began. That’s when they started. And we were protecting our people, ourselves, our homeland and our future,’ the Russian president said.

(LifeSiteNews) — In a much-anticipated interview with popular commentator Tucker Carlson, Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed his motivations behind invading Ukraine two years ago, the many decisions the United States and their partners made to provoke the war, the CIA’s ability to disregard the policy of U.S. presidents, and the notion that Russia intends to invade Western Europe as obviously “imaginary.”

Bird flu does not transmit to humans; if it does it will be because it has been engineered in a lab

by Rhoda Wilson, Expose News:

The Bird flu virus has been modified in laboratories in the USA using gain-of-function to make it infectious and transmissible among mammals. 

This research has been occurring for at least a decade.  During that time there have been laboratory accidents, one of which is known to have happened at the end of 2019. 

It is these laboratory accidents that pose a risk of infection to humans and mammals, not the naturally occurring bird flu.
