Whether the U.S. Congress ultimately votes for an additional $90+ billion to fund the empire’s wars, or some smaller fraction of that, is irrelevant — the costs are unsustainable. Instead of recognizing the old order is bankrupt, the establishment keeps adding to the debt, and to the dead! Cui Bono? The corporate cartels of the Military-Industrial-Financial Complex, using war to stave off bankruptcy. Join me today at 11 AM EDT to discuss what you can do to achieve peace through mutual development, by taking power away from the War Hawks and neo-liberals:
California Will Not Make Sex Trafficking of 16-17-Year-Olds a Felony
by M Dowling, Independent Sentinel:
California rejected a bill to make it a felony to purchase 16 and 17-year-olds for sex. Instead, it will remain a misdemeanor. Some serve as little as two days in prison.
Sen. Shannon Grove’s bill would make solicitation, attempting to engage or engage in sex with a minor for money, a felony with a prison sentence ranging from 2 to 4 years, a fine not exceeding $25,000, and registration as a sex offender.
The bill would punish all those who solicit from a child, regardless of whether or not the person knew or reasonably should have known that the person solicited was a minor.
According to CBS News,the original bill, authored by Senator Shannon Grove, would make soliciting a minor for sex, agreeing to engage or engaging in any form of commercial sex with a child a felony offense with a sex offender registry required on repeat offenses.
Germany Considering WEF’s Driving Ban to Fight ‘Climate Change’
by Frank Bergman, Slay News:
The German government is considering plans to implement new laws that would ban members of the general public from driving privately owned vehicles during the weekends.
The plan was revealed by Germany’s Transport Minister Volker Wissing who argues that the drastic measures may be necessary in order to meet the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Net Zero” targets for “fighting climate change.”
According to Reuters, Wissing is threatening to introduce the ban through the Summer months before gradually expanding it.
Speaker Mike Johnson shows his hand and where his allegiances lie — squarely in the camp of Washington neocons and advancing U.S. toward WWIII
by Leo Hohmann, Leo’s Newsletter:
The American people do not want war. But that counts for nothing because neocon warmongers in both parties will always end up siding with their globalist masters in the military-industrial complex.
Whenever The New York Times puts out an article praising a Republican for their deft political skills, you know something wicked this way comes.
Let me quote the first two paragraphs of a Times story published Wednesday, April 17. And remember, this is supposed to be a news story, not an editorial.
“Speaker Mike Johnson’s elaborate plan for pushing aid to Ukraine through the House over his own party’s objections relies on an unusual strategy: He is counting on House Democrats and their leader, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, to provide the votes necessary to clear the way for it to come to the floor.
AI, Gold and Nuclear War
by Jim Rickards, Daily Reckoning:
So-called artificial intelligence (AI) is taking the world by storm. Meanwhile, gold has shot up like a rocket over the past couple of months.
In mid-February, gold was trading at $1,990. Two months later, gold is trading above $2,400 — a $410 gain in just two months.
So here’s a question:
Is there a connection between AI and gold? It seems like an odd question. But as it turns out, the answer is yes. And surprisingly, there has been for decades. It involves the Cold War between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.
Illegals Told to ‘Vote for Biden’ in Flyers Found at NGO Site in Mexico
by Jack Montgomery, The National Pulse:
Flyers urging illegal aliens to vote for Joe Biden have been discovered at a site in Mexico operated by Resource Center Matamoros (RCM), a complex operated by a non-governmental organization (NGO) that assists immigrants attempting to gain asylum in the United States.
“Reminder to vote for President Biden when you are in the United States,” read the Spanish-language flyers discovered inside port-a-potties and other locations throughout the RCM site by Muckraker.com. They bear RCM branding and carry RCM contact information.
What about the $17 million dollar secret “slush fund” Congress used to make hush money payments to sexual victims?
from Revolver News:
Thanks to the relentless political targeting of President Trump, there’s been a spotlight on the use of “hush money” and secret funds to sweep indiscretions under the rug in politics. This shouldn’t come as a shock to many, given the nature of fame and power, but where do we draw the line? When is it acceptable for politicians to dip into taxpayer-funded slush funds to settle their sexual indiscretions privately, and without fanfare, and when is it deemed unacceptable for a private political candidate to do the same with personal funds? Here’s the thing that’s got everyone scratching their heads: Trump’s stuck in this political circus over “hush money,” where they’re all too eager to drag him through the mud over what amounts to a flimsy misdemeanor at best.
The West Now Wants ‘Restraint’- After Months of Fuelling a Genocide in Gaza
by Jonathan Cook, The Unz Review:
The Middle East is on the brink of war precisely because western politicians indulged for decades every military excess by Israel
Suddenly, western politicians from US President Joe Biden to British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak have become ardent champions of “restraint” – in a very last-minute scramble to avoid regional conflagration.
Iran launched a salvo of drones and missiles at Israel at the weekend in what amounted a largely symbolic show of strength. Many appear to have been shot down, either by Israel’s layers of US-funded interception systems or by US, British and Jordanian fighter jets. No one was killed.

As America Under ‘Joe Biden’ Descends Deeper And Deeper Into A Full-Scale Banana Republic, The Deep State’s Accelerating Attacks On Trump Show A Consciousness Of Guilt
by Stefan Stanford, All News Pipeline:
Joe Biden has proven to be a puppet of the Chinese, Russian, and Ukrainian oligarchs—a true Manchurian Candidate. Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s princeling, raked in millions of dollars at arm’s length from Uncle Joe for the Biden crime family from adversaries for no credible business reason. Why?
The purpose was to gain access to Joe Biden for favorable policy decisions and actions, i.e., going soft on China and Russia, releasing funds to the Iranian Mullahs whose proxies attack Israel, selective prosecution of political enemies, and allowing a two-tiered justice system.
America’s Now Evident Plan to Use AUKUS to Spark War With China
by Eric Zuesse, The Duran:
The U.S. regime’s aggressive intent against China is now undeniable.
There was much concern, in international circles, about the the U.S. Government’s recent efforts to open a NATO office in Tokyo so as to extend its military alliance against Russia to become also a military alliance against China. When that initiative scared some other NATO members, it was stopped, and the fear temporarily subsided. But then suddenly, on April 8th, was announced that (despite some hurdles that would first need to be overcome) America’s new (2021) anti-China military alliance, AUKUS, is “considering” (meaning here intending) to, in effect, bring into that alliance Japan (which has 79 U.S. military bases). On April 10th, U.S. President Joe Biden and Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida met at the White House to plan how this would be done. The next day, Defense News bannered “AUKUS allies float path for Japan to join tech sharing pact”. So, the U.S., which has 900 foreign military bases and actually spends around half of the entire planet’s military expenses, and therefore has no actual need for any military ‘allies’, but instead brings them in to serve as proxies for itself and so as to be able to say (for propaganda-purposes) “we” when referring to itself, so as to ‘justify’ its numerous invasions and to prevent any of its ‘allied’ (or colonial) countries from criticizing it, is now effectively displaying the reality to anyone who worries about such matters.
