15-Minute Cities – Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:

Let’s take a closer look at Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) that have been proposed for 15-minute cities. These small units are typically under 1,000 sq ft and were once considered secondary structures on an existing residential lot. Think of what we once considered “in-law suites” or guest houses. There are numerous designs for ADUs, but 15-minute cities will seek to create connected units to house as many people as possible. The exact plans for ADUs within 15-minute cities are shrouded in mystery, but we can ascertain what they have planned based on other proposed policies.

Over 500 Rockets Have Been Fired From Gaza Into Israel Since Tuesday, Resulting In A Direct Hit On A Building In Rehovot Killing One, Injuring Others

by Geoffrey Grinder, Now The End Begins:

One person was killed and at least five others were injured after a building in Rehovot suffered a direct hit in a wave of rockets fired from Gaza shortly after 6 p.m. on Thursday evening.

For the past several days, Israel has been under constant bombardment from rocket attacks coming from Gaza, and now one person has died with many more injured. After not firing at Israel since 11:55 p.m., rocket launches by the Islamic Jihad in Gaza renewed after the terror group had fired 507 rockets on Israel over the course of Wednesday. Out of the Islamic Jihad rocket attacks, Hagari said that the IDF had around a 95% Iron Dome shoot-down success rate.

The dynamics driving the dollar down

by Alasdair Macleod, GoldMoney:

This article examines the currency imbalances between US dollars and the other currencies and concludes that should foreign holders decide to reduce their dollar exposure, the consequences for its value would be dramatic.

The dollar’s problems should be laid at the door of the wishful thinkers who think the state knows better than free markets. It is that which has led to currency imbalances. Central banks attempting to manage economic outcomes by manipulating interest rates and “stimulating” economic activity have acted in defiance of Say’s law, which defines the relationship between production and consumption, and the true role of a medium of exchange.

Nolte: Trump’s Glorious Town Hall Performance Might’ve Delivered the Final Killshot to CNN

by John Nolte, Breitbart:

President Trump appeared on far-left CNN for 70 minutes last night and just might have delivered the killshot to a propaganda outlet that was already taking a ten count in the ratings.

Boy, was I wrong. Mea culpa, Mr. President. Mea Culpa.

And you cannot imagine how happy I am to be so wrong. Even if Trump did well on CNN, I assumed this would still be a win for CNN. Well, it wasn’t. Instead, it was a catastrophe for the Hoax Network, which is why, right after the town hall; you could hear the tears of frustration in election meddler Jake Tapper’s voice.

War Tensions Rise As UK Says It Will Send Long Range Missiles To Ukraine

0

by Mac Slavo, SHTF Plan:

War tensions are steadily rising after the United Kingdom announced that it is going to be sending long-range missiles to Ukraine in its war with Russia. The United States rulers are “breathing a quiet sigh of relief” over the newest reports that the U.K. will cross a red line.

London is set to send missiles with a range of 300 km, or nearly 200 miles, the Washington Post’s Karen DeYoung reports. That’s the same range as the Army Tactical Missile System, known as ATACMS, that Washington has so far refused to transfer to Kyiv. U.K. Foreign Secretary James Cleverly declined to comment on the timing and scale of future commitments during a Tuesday news conference alongside Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Ron Paul Says Forget Ukraine, DC Hawks Dragging NATO Into Taiwan War

by Matt Agorist, The Free Thought Project:

(Ron Paul) — As NATO’s disastrous proxy war in Ukraine continues to sputter, many in DC seem to be losing interest in “Project Ukraine.”

Instead of admitting the folly of interventionism, however, they are looking for bigger fish to fry. Like…war with China! Also today: Syria back in the Arab League – what does it mean?

Do They Actually Want World War 3? Now The West Has Decided To Give Ukraine Long-Range Cruise Missiles…

0

by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:

We are getting dangerously close to the “hot phase” of World War III, but most people in the western world don’t even realize what is going on.  They simply trust our leaders when they tell us that we will never have to be directly involved in a conflict with Russia, but meanwhile those same leaders continue to push us ever closer to such a scenario.  Earlier today, we learned that the UK has now delivered long-range “Storm Shadow” cruise missiles to Ukraine…

Ha! The Thought Controllers Are Panicked

by Lew Rockwell, Lew Rockwell:

Peter Hotez was one of the worst Covid hysterics, and made all kinds of assurances about what the shots would accomplish, even though his claims were based on zero research or evidence (and they kept changing with every interview he did).

Well, here’s what he’s saying these days:

The Black Hornet Nano-drone Can Now Be Controlled by Voice Commands

0

by Nicholas West, Activist Post:

Longtime readers might remember when we first began discussing and warning about insect-sized drones and drone swarms more than a decade ago. The insect-drone concept is thought to have originated as far back as at least the 1970s with the CIA pursuing a dragonfly drone. Since then, we have seen an increasingly rapid development in drone technology, as well as a military push to further automate their capabilities.

A Banking Crisis Shouldn’t Be the Taxpayer’s Problem.

by Dennis Miller, MillerOnTheMoney:

Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon wrote shareholders about banking turmoil, “As I write this letter, the current crisis is not yet over, and even when it is behind us, there will be repercussions from it for years to come.”

IGI Global defines a banking crisis:

1. Banking crisis reflects the crisis of liquidity and insolvency of one or more banks in the financial system. Due to bank’s sizable losses, bank encounters critical liquidity shortage…disrupting its ability in repaying the debt contracts and the withdrawals demanded by depositors.

2. A subset of financial crises that are felt acutely within the banking sector…having national and international implications wherein either the given capital of the banking system is practically exhausted,…or where the cost of resolving the problems of a financial system amounts to at least 3-5% of the national Gross Domestic Product.

Banks lose billions on high-risk investments, creating a tsunami of economic problems. Private businesses fail all the time. Why is the banking system treated differently?

Narratives Lost at CNN, Lie Spies, Blinken, Immigration & Debt

by Greg Hunter, USA Watchdog:

CNN had a huge night with the President Donald Trump Town Hall event.  Trump beat down the Lying Legacy Media propaganda reporter at every turn.  It was so bad that CNN cut the ratings- getting event short by 20 minutes.  This is like running the movie “Forrest Gump” or the “Wizard of Oz” and cutting off the last 20 minutes.  It’s not about ratings.  It’s about narratives, and the Deep State lost big-time with the CNN event.

More narratives lost this week with the Biden family hiding $10 million in foreign payments for who knows what, according to the GOP.  On top of that, the Hunter Biden Laptop we were all told was Russian disinformation, but it was not.  It was true, and everybody lied about it.  Former CIA Chief John Brennan admitted in Congress it was all political.  Other former CIA officials and other spies lied to get Biden elected and not thrown in jail for treason.  We also find Secretary of State Tony Blinken was at the center of the laptop lies while he was at the CIA.  He said he was not, but emails prove he was the key player in rounding up the liars to cheat the American public about crooked Joe and bagman Hunter.

Danger Within: The Government Is Turning America Into a Constitution-Free Zone

by John W. Whitehead, Rutherford Institute:

“There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.”—James Madison

How far would you really go to secure the nation’s borders in the so-called name of national security?

Would you give the government limitless amounts of money? Surround the entire country with concrete walls and barbed wire? Erect a high-tech, virtual wall of AI-powered surveillance cameras and drones that does a better job of imprisoning those within its boundaries than keeping intruders out? Empower border police to trample on the rights of anyone who crosses their path, including legal citizens?
