Beijing – This woman is too short to reach the facial recognition scanner.
These facial recognition vending machines are replacing the old coin ones. If you aren't in the CBDC system, you cannot buy water in China now. https://t.co/Fz74JpfZa4 pic.twitter.com/akdsfUk5Tg

Funny how some things function. There I was, just innocently sitting there looking through the files I saved links for on the current banking crisis and re-reading a few stories to see if anything stuck out and poked me in the eye and there it was – the title of another file crept into view. That is one thing that I do; when a current event that interests me comes into focus, I copy and paste the URL’s to those stories into a Notepad file along with some brief comments of why I found it interesting or pertinent info it contains or whatever. Not to be confused with the more complicated, or just longer term lists, as found in WordPad or the itemized long lists inside of Word or LibreOffice Writer complete with a Table of Contents to organize things better complete with a table of contents to find specific news categories easier. No, the notepad files are basically just a short simple set of lists of story ideas to work from; kind of like a catchall bin as illustrated in the image above. Many column ideas spawned from that method of making lists and I have a lot of dead links to show for it as censorship prevails and increases.

The US Navy invited an active-duty drag queen Joshua Kelley to be a ‘Digital Ambassador’ – as part of a recent drive “to attract the most talented and diverse workforce” and combat plunging recruitment.
With the passing of each and every day, America becomes more and more like unto Sodom, and unto Gomorrah, we are living in the ‘Vanity Fair’ of The Pilgrims Progress. The scary part is that as this wickedness rises, we are normalizing it, so comparatively speaking things don’t really look all that bad. But things are bad, very, very bad. So bad it’s biblical.

All major categories of silver demand charted highs in 2022, contributing to a new total global silver demand record of 1.242 billion ounces.
This is one of several silver-related stories in the latest edition of Silver News published by the Silver Institute.
Industrial demand was up 5% last year to 556.5 million ounces, driven by rapidly increasing use in the green technology sector. Industrial offtake makes up nearly half of all silver demand.

“Make no mistake, it’s not about your convenience, and it’s not about saving the planet. It will be a complete impoverishment and enslavement of all the people,” German MEP Christine Anderson said regarding the push for 15-minute cities. She’s right. The 15-minute city is marketed as a futuristic town where everyone will live within 15 minutes of essential services. They are marketing these cities as affordable, convenient, and virtuous as they combat climate change. The truth of the matter is that these cities are reminiscent of the Jewish ghettos during World War II or the Japanese internment camps in the US. They are designed to contain and control the people.

The Chinese Global Times government newspaper described the alleged drone attack on the Kremlin early Wednesday morning as the crossing of a “red line” in the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine: the targeting of heads of state.
Videos surfaced on Wednesday of unidentified objects in the airspace above the Kremlin in Moscow on Wednesday, apparently attempting to target the Russian capital. Russian officials announced shortly thereafter that the skyward objects civilians observed were armed drones deployed in an attempt, they claimed, to assassinate Vladimir Putin. The Russian Foreign Affairs Ministry vowed “imminent and inevitable punishment” for the culprits once an investigation identifies them and, without directly blaming Ukraine, claimed the drone incident was proof of the necessity of Russia’s ongoing invasion of the country.

The banking and financial crisis is far from over. Yesterday, the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates yet again to “fight” inflation, however, this could create a “domino effect” of regional bank failures. PacWest Bancorp is now considering a sale or “other moves” to keep it “solvent” for the time being.
The Fed raised the benchmark federal funds rate to a range between 5% and 5.25%, which is the highest level since 2007, at a time when bank customers are already feeling anxious after a string of recent bank failures.

On May 4, 1970, a disorganized and nonviolent antiwar protest turned violent and deadly when the Ohio National Guard inexplicably opened fire on students at Kent State University — indelibly polarizing the United States populace to an extreme arguably unabated since.
Guardsmen opened fire on the assembled crowd, unleashing between 61 and 67 bullets in 13 seconds — which left four people dead and nine wounded. Now, 49 years after the unjustified bloodbath, critical questions remain unanswered about both details of the incident, as well as circumstances that culminated in the shooting of unarmed protesters.

In October of 2020 – just days before the presidential election – 51 former intelligence officials signed and published a letter that baselessly decried the contents of Hunter’s ‘laptop from hell’ had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
This was a lie. They all knew it was a lie.
Former CIA Director John Brennan and former DNI James Clapper will now be forced to testify before the House Weaponization subcommittee about the statement they signed in 2020 discrediting the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian propaganda.
