An estimated 240,000 students across 21 different states did not return to school following the coronavirus, a study from Stanford and the Associated Press found.
While private school and homeschooling enrollment surged during this same timeframe, these 240,000 students did not resume their studies elsewhere, but instead are unaccounted for.

Ruling classes in the West have been using military-grade propaganda to try and fight dissent. As more and more people begin to figure out the lie and slavery that is government, this propaganda will increase, so be ready for it.
The BIGGEST Lie Most People Still Believe
Thanks to a whistleblower, we now know that critics of Covid-19-related lockdowns and vaccine mandates (including prominent journalists and politicians) were monitored by the UK army’s information warfare brigade. We also know that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been secretly tracking the unvaccinated in the United States.

I’ve been working my way through Savage Continent by Keith Lowe lately, and it’s one of the most heart-rending books I’ve ever read. It’s up there with We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families for me. Extremely powerful, important works, that leave you feeling more angry than relaxed, but after you’re finished reading them, you understand that you’ve learned about a time you needed to know about. If you’ve been to the Holocaust Museum, Pearl Harbor Memorial, or Ground Zero in NYC, you know the feeling.

Crime rates are soaring all over the nation, and this is especially true in heavily populated urban areas. The complete and utter lawlessness that we are witnessing has caused many pundits to describe our largest cities as “war zones”, and unfortunately that is not an exaggeration at all. In fact, there are some zip codes in Chicago where young adult males are more likely to be shot and killed than U.S. soldiers were during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq…

Jefferson City, Missouri – The Missouri Senate today passed legislation that would prompt the state treasurer to hold at least 1% of state funds in gold and silver while eliminating all state income taxes on monetary metals.
In a growing national backlash to the rampant inflation caused by massive federal spending, debt, and central bank money printing, more than a dozen states are already moving forward on sound money bills during their 2023 legislative sessions.
Sponsored by Sen. Bill Eigel, Senate Bill 100 passed the Missouri Senate by a vote of 21-12 and now heads to the House.

How reliable is the link between money supply growth and the economic outlook?
Monetarists are warning now that money supply has stopped growing and even turned negative, so we are heading for a recession. This article examines the position for US dollar M2 money supply and the prospects for the US economy.
But monetary growth, or the lack of it, doesn’t only affect GDP, but a large element of economic activity which is not included in it, principally financial activities, and the acquisition of assets such as property.

Ignore that low unemployment rate. Most forward-looking stats are screaming recession, and the epicenter of the coming quake is plastic. From CNBC:
U.S. credit card debt jumps 18.5% and hits a record $930.6 billion highs
For most Americans, inflation and rising interest rates are a one-two punch.
On the heels of another rate hike this week by the Federal Reserve, credit card annual percentage rates are already near 20%, on average, and set to climb even higher. At the same time, more consumers are leaning on credit to afford increasingly expensive necessities, like food and rent.

From the Tom Woods Letter:
You may have heard that Joe Biden has declared that the Covid emergency will be officially over on May 11.
Why May 11? Could “The Science” really be that precise?
Biden said it’s to make sure officials can get everything done.
So in case you hadn’t had your fill of useless nothingness in the name of protecting you against Covid, you’ll have the luxury of three more months of it.
by Charles Hugh Smith, Of Two Minds:
Simply put, people are moving not just to escape unaffordable housing and high taxes. They’re moving to escape fiscally irresponsible, ineffective, unaccountable governance.
Defenders of high state taxes like to point out that surveys find few high-net-worth households move primarily to lower their tax bills. This may be so, but it misses the point: high-income, high-net-worth households don’t move away from high tax states if they’re getting fair value for their taxes. But if services and infrastructure are crumbling around them even as their taxes keep ratcheting higher, then the benefits of moving become much more compelling.

Two political maxims to bear in mind here: timing is everything, and nothing in politics happens by coincidence.
It’s a rather unusual admission by NATO’s man in Kiev. Why is Zelensky throwing himself under the bus now?
Is he doing a favour for one of his western government sponsors, in order to deflect blame away from Germany and France – the two guarantor countries who had sabotaged the Minsk Peace Process?
