Europe’s largest circulation newspaper, Germany’s Bild, obtained German military documents saying that a war between Russia and NATO could erupt as soon as next month. The document also warns that Germany needs to be war-ready. Meanwhile, Britain’s defense minister warned this week that 2024 will be a major “inflection point,” and that “In five years’ time, we could be looking at multiple theatres of war including Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea.”

Momentum is building worldwide to reject the world order designed by corporate cartels and imposed by U.S./NATO military power. Nations moving out from under domination of the Unipolar Order are building, through diplomacy, trade and investment agreements, a new security and development architecture, which would benefit nations in the West. The message of the LaRouche movement is that it is up to the citizens to act to break the power of the corrupt establishment. Discover what you can do to change the course of history:

It’s an election year. Interest rates are high relative to current inflation rates and are the highest they’ve been since 2006.
Do those two conditions have anything to do with each other? The Federal Reserve would say no but history would say yes.
On the one hand, the Federal Reserve has always maintained they are above politics. According to Fed propaganda, members of the board of governors check their politics at the door of the Fed boardroom and act solely on the basis of economic data and what’s best for the U.S. economy in terms of inflation and unemployment.
Of course, that’s nonsense. The Fed has always been highly political. It’s just that they’re very good at hiding it.

The climate fear mongers are pressuring Biden to ban natural gas exports. Let’s discuss the ramifications.
Climate Test for Natural Gas Exports
Politco notes Biden’s Aides Weigh Climate Test for Natural Gas Exports.
The Biden administration is launching a review that could tap the brakes on the booming U.S. natural gas export industry — a move that threatens to pit the president’s climate ambitions against his foreign policy agenda.

According to {Politico}, the PACS of the banks and hedge funds of the Military-Financial-Complex (MIF) poured more than $136 million into the Iowa Republican caucuses. Why? Their goal is not to elevate the thinking of voters, but to keep them in a bubble, fighting over pre-programmed matters, such as the “woke culture” of identity politics, blind to the danger of global war, or feeling impotent to act to stop it. Who will challenge the global oligarchy and their agenda of Permanent War? Check out one candidate committed to educating voters about what they can do to take power out of the hands of the MIF.

Is the financial chaos that is currently happening in China a harbinger of things to come here in the United States? Today, the global economy is more interconnected than ever before, and economic warning signs have been popping up all over the planet in recent weeks. Of course the U.S. has certainly not been an exception. Employers are throwing workers out into the streets in very large numbers, and we have reached a point where hunger, poverty and homelessness are all growing at extremely alarming rates. The U.S. economy has clearly entered a very troubled period, but for the moment U.S. stock prices are still stable. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about Chinese stocks. In fact, Newsweek says that China’s stock market “appears to be in free fall now”…

Unlike paper money, Central Bank Digital Currencies (“CDBCs”) are very unlikely to offer privacy protections. They threaten privacy in ways that the world has never seen before.
In November, Big Brother Watch published a report titled ‘CBDC – a privacy-eroding pound? Lessons from international central bank digital currency pilots for the UK’. It provides an in-depth analysis of CBDC pilot projects from around the world.
by Peter Schiff, Schiff Gold:
When a country starts to develop economically, a few things tend to happen: the death rate falls, workers become more productive, consumers consume more, and birth rates normally fall. During this period, countries experiencing such changes have a relatively small number of retirees and a small share of the population composed of children. This means that a large share of the population is economically productive, working either formally or informally. This phenomenon is known as the demographic dividend. In contrast to the rapidly aging populations of East Asia, North America, Europe, and parts of Latin America, India boasts a large and comparatively young population. In just over a decade, about a quarter of a billion Indians are expected to reach adulthood and join the workforce, a development economists expect to be beneficial for Indian economic growth.

The average patriot (or prepper) is usually a middle class conservative or libertarian with a tendency towards independent thinking and some experience with economic struggle in their past. Most of us have made something of ourselves from very little, or, we had parents that made something of themselves from very little and we watched as children while they climbed their way up the ladder through hard work and merit.
Mariana Mazzucato, "agenda contributor" for the WEF: Our attempt to vaccinate the entire planet failed, "climate change" is "too abstract" for people to understand, but the coming water crisis is something that everyone will get on board with.

According to Klaus Schwab’s ‘World Economic Forum,’ ‘Disease X‘ is a ‘mystery contagion’ that the WEF will be holding a meeting about in just days, on January 17th, with the WEF warning this ‘mystery contagion‘ could kill 20 times more people than ‘COVID‘ has (substitute ‘vaccines‘ for COVID if we want to be more accurate!,) with the United Nations claiming the only way to stop the spread of this mystery contagion would be the rapid development of a new ‘vaccine’.

In a speech earlier this year at the Adaptation Finance Summit for Africa, Bill Gates again took the opportunity to market his vaccines.
“We all know that malnutrition is a scourge,” he said. And then within a few words switched into his sales pitch for vaccines.
“At the turn of the century, many people realised that we had vaccines that could save lives,” he said, but they were not getting to the children in poorer nations who needed them most.
by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:
The layoffs are starting to come at a fast and furious pace now. At what point will the mainstream media finally admit that we are facing a major crisis? In recent days, I have been writing quite a bit about the alarming transition that the employment market is going through. There is a lot more competition for any jobs that are still available, and one recent survey discovered that almost 40 percent of U.S. companies anticipate that they will be conducting layoffs in 2024. But even though I am just reporting the facts, I have had people write to me and insist that things really aren’t that bad. Even though the government’s own numbers show that the U.S. lost a ton of full-time jobs in December, these people apparently believe the propaganda that is being fed to them by the Biden administration.
