    I have a friend in the hard money camp who is sick and tired of waiting for Godot.

    He is fed-up listening to pundits for years now talking about the moon shot of precious metals to the stars. And in a way I can’t blame him for being tired.

    However, by momentarily ignoring the talking-heads and focusing on the actions of governments, one gets a clue. Specifically, the BRICS + countries are clearly preparing for a monetary event. Central banks of these countries have been accumulating precious metals at a historically accelerated rate. India may be the largest current hoarder of silver.

    How do CBDCs factor into this? After all, we are told central bank digital currencies are practically an inevitability. However the problem with any digital currency is, unless it is backed by a tangible asset such as gold, it will be considered another fiat currency failure in the making. Brics + countries are vividly aware of this, particularly after having spent the last eighty-odd years getting printed paper in return for their hard assets. The USD system has functioned very well for most–we have seen the living standards of the world rise enormously over these years–but this is swiftly coming to a mathematically-induced, astronomically-indebted end.

    And there is a massive contradiction that needs to be sorted out. Are BRICS + countries such as China and Russia interested in the human liberty that hard money confers? Of course not. Yet, gold-backed CBDCs promise an incredibly durable combination and step forward for the science of money. At once tangible, virtual, tradable and above counter-party risk, they will be what any country wishes to make of them, whether this be a reliable medium of commerce, a population control mechanism, or both.

    This pundit is not particularly eloquent as he tries to explain himself, but he improves as he goes. His focus here is about how silver will inevitably revert to its historical mined gold/silver ratio of 1:16. He is an avid Pozsar watcher, pointing out how Pozsar and Russian Sergey Glazyev have been in corresponding in a furtive sort of way.

    Current events frequently offer us the fear porn of pending nuclear war. Poppycock, says I. The real nuclear event to come is in money. According to this video the IMF has quietly remonetized gold. Once the giants, represented by BRICS + nations, are satisfied that they have adequately assumed their respective precious metals-hoarding strategic positions, Godot will have arrived. I suspect this event to be loosely contingent upon Russia’s success or lack thereof in the Ukraine war, which makes that event something of a monetary nexus. The revaluing of gold in this event will also mean the revaluing of silver to attain its historical ratio. In terms of understanding events, I recently learned Zoltan Pozsar studied fault tree analysis in his native Hungary.

  4. Cleburne County Arkansas Rejects Voting Machines – Will Move to Paper Ballots

    Via President Donald Trump on Twitter.

    Cleburne County Arkansas voted to remove voting machines and move back to paper ballots.

    A Cleburne County quorum court voted to remove voting machines from elections, making it a “paper ballot” county.

    Officials with the Arkansas Voter Integrity Initiative Inc. (AVII) said the vote was in response to AVII CEO Colonel Conrad Reynolds’ push for election computers to be removed from Arkansas elections. The decision will now require votes to be hand counted

    The machines do not read the names on the ballots, instead they scan barcodes, which humans cannot read,” Reynolds said. “They also utilize proprietary software that we are not allowed to examine. This all means voters cannot verify that their vote is being counted properly as mandated by state law.”

    An AVII attorney noted that it is in Arkansas law that each county has the right to choose their voting process.

    • NYT – An Underused Covid Treatment

      Doctors are now a major barrier to Paxlovid.

      Covid is still linked to hundreds of deaths a day in the U.S. We have a treatment that could bring down those deaths: a prescribed pill called Paxlovid, which reduces the severity of a Covid infection, particularly among older and more vulnerable Americans.

      Yet that treatment remains underused. Doctors prescribed it in about 45 percent of recorded Covid cases nationwide during the first two weeks of January, according to White House data. In some states, Paxlovid is given in less than 25 or even 20 percent of recorded cases. (Those are likely overestimates because cases are underreported.)

      Why is Paxlovid still relatively untapped? Part of the answer lies in a lack of public awareness. Some Covid patients also may decide that they don’t need Paxlovid because they are already vaccinated, have had Covid before or are younger. (My colleagues explained why even mild cases often still warrant a dose of Paxlovid.) The political polarization of the virus plays a role, too: People in blue states are more likely to use Paxlovid than in red states.

      Experts have increasingly pointed to another explanation for Paxlovid’s underuse: Doctors still resist prescribing it. Today’s newsletter will focus on that cause.

      Physician resistance

      Some doctors have concerns that are rooted in real issues with Paxlovid and inform their reluctance to prescribe it. But experts are unconvinced that those fears are enough to avoid prescribing Paxlovid altogether, especially to older and higher-risk patients.

      “What I’m doing for a living is weighing the benefits and the risks for everything,” said Dr. Robert Wachter, the chair of the medicine department at the University of California, San Francisco. In deciding whether to prescribe Paxlovid, he said, the benefits significantly outweigh the risks.

      Some of doctors’ doubts will sound familiar to regular readers of this newsletter. The medication is relatively new (in a field that typically takes years to adopt new treatments). They worry about side effects, including diarrhea, muscle pain and an altered sense of taste. They also point to “rebound” Covid cases, which can cause symptoms to come back after subsiding, as happened to Dr. Anthony Fauci and President Biden after they took Paxlovid. (Although Covid symptoms can rebound without Paxlovid.)

      Doctors also sometimes believe that a patient is not sick enough to prescribe Paxlovid. But the point of Paxlovid is to prevent Covid from getting severe. The medication works best when prescribed in the first few days after a patient shows symptoms, so a doctor does not have time to wait to see how bad an infection gets.

      Another concern topped a recent survey of medical professionals by the health care website Medscape: potential interactions between Paxlovid and a long list of other drugs. Doctors might see that their patients are on one of those medications and choose not to prescribe Paxlovid.

      That justification is especially concerning to experts because it is more likely to be used to deny Paxlovid to older patients and those with other health conditions, since they are more likely to be on multiple medications. But these two groups are also among the most vulnerable to Covid hospitalization and death.

      To avoid harmful drug interactions, experts said, doctors can temporarily get a patient off a medication or provide an alternative during a course of Paxlovid — something they already often do with other treatments. “This is not some extraordinary thing that physicians don’t know how to do,” said Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House Covid response coordinator.

      Only two of the 100 most prescribed medications, rivaroxaban (typically prescribed for blood clots) and salmeterol (for lung disease), produce interactions so severe that Paxlovid should be avoided altogether, according to the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

      Some doctors would also like to see more evidence for Paxlovid. The arc of Covid has changed since Paxlovid started rolling out by early 2022, with more widespread vaccinations and the emergence of new variants. Some physicians want data demonstrating which patients still benefit from the drug, said Dr. Lindsay Petty, an infectious disease doctor at the University of Michigan.

      Wachter agreed that more data would be good, but argued that the existing studies show convincing evidence of Paxlovid’s benefit. “If you’re an impartial reader and sit down to look at the research and compare it to other research we used to decide people should take statins or have their blood pressure treated, Paxlovid feels like it’s in the same category,” he said.

      Breaking through

      The White House and health organizations are working to get more physicians to prescribe Paxlovid. They have made some progress in increasing use and closing gaps based on race and class, Jha said.

      But with Covid still tied to hundreds of deaths and thousands of hospitalizations a day, those advances are slower than anyone would like. As with vaccines and boosters, it’s hard to see what will get more Americans to embrace one of the most effective treatments we have for Covid.

    Kari Lake came out swinging at the Arizona establishment RINOs and Democrats responsible for the stolen 2022 Election on Sunday at her MASSIVE Save Arizona rally.

    Kari Lake’s rally exceeded capacity, with thousands skipping the last pre-Super Bowl NFL playoff game and turning out to see their duly elected Governor take on the lies promulgated by the mainstream media and leftist politicians.
    The Midterm Elections in Arizona were stolen in broad daylight, with machines failing at nearly 60% of voting centers the moment polls opened on Election Day. The Arizona Court of Appeals is set to hold a February 1 conference in Kari Lake’s lawsuit contesting her stolen election and the trial court’s dismissal of her case.

    The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on Maricopa County’s intentional voting machine failures caused by faulty ballot printer settings that were changed on election day.

    The printer settings caused incorrectly sized images of a ballot to be printed onto the ballot papers on the day that Republicans turned out 3:1 to vote for Kari Lake and Republican candidates.

    The Gateway Pundit’s Brian Lupo reported on newly released footage from Election Day showing that only six ballots were accepted out of 50 vote attempts in an 11-minute period.

    We recently reported on a bombshell presentation by We The People AZ Alliance in the Arizona Senate Elections Committee on 2022 Election failures in Maricopa County. Some of the most shocking findings in their investigation included hundreds of Election Day tabulators reportedly rejecting nearly 1/4 million vote attempts on election day. using system log (SLOG) files “that tell you every read in those tabulators for the 2022 election, “We The People AZ Alliance co-founder and Chairman Shelby Busch revealed in the presentation that “tabulators failed at 235 times the Election Assistance Commission’s regulated failure rates.” Previously, Maricopa County attempted to claim that less than 18,000 ballots were affected by machine failures at just over 30% of vote centers.

  7. JUST IN: Kari Lake’s Attorneys Respond To “PHONY Allegation” And Attempted Political Persecution By Arizona’s New Regime

    Kari Lake’s legal team has responded to questionably elected Arizona Secretary of State and former Mexican Drug Cartel lawyer Adrian Fontes’ “phony allegation” and request for Attorney General Kris Mayes to “investigate and take appropriate enforcement action against Kari Lake.”

    They are politically persecuting Kari for sounding the alarm about the stolen 2022 Election.

    Both of these candidates won highly questionable elections in Maricopa County and Arizona, and they are terrified of Kari Lake’s fight against stolen elections.

    Jailing political opponents is a third-world consequence of speaking out against a fraudulently installed regime. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Brazil’s Stasi Supreme Court issued arrest warrants last month targeting opposition figures for “undemocratic acts” after Lula da Silva stole the Presidential Election.

    The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on the 2022 Election in Maricopa County and Kari Lake’s lawsuit alleging enormous voter fraud. Massive chain of custody failures reportedly rendered OVER 298,000 ballots at Runbeck Election Services invalid. Nearly 300,000 mismatched or fraudulent mail-in ballot signatures were illegally counted. Intentional voting machine/ballot printer failures on Election Day disenfranchised in-person voters who turned out for Republicans 3:1.

    Maricopa County’s voting machines failed at 235 times the EAC-regulated failure rates after faulty ballot printer settings were intentionally changed on election day.

    The Ukrainian govt is asking Western allies for fighter jets, to help repel the Russian army.

    Ukraine’s defence minister Oleksiy Reznikov is in Paris today, to pressure the French govt on the issue.

    He is due to meet President Macron, and address parliament as well.

    And will send soldiers to Poland as well, to help train Ukrainian troops.

    • Poland aims to get training time on Leopard tanks down to 5 weeks

      WARSAW, Jan 31 (Reuters) – Poland aims to get training time on Leopard 2 battle tanks down to five weeks at a centre where Ukrainian soldiers are likely to be taught how to operate the Western battlefield workhorse against Russia’s invasion.

      The village of Swietoszow in western Poland, near the German border, hosts one of just three Leopard training centres in Europe – the others are in Germany and Switzerland.

      The Polish military declined to confirm where Ukrainian soldiers would be trained, but military experts said Swietoszow was the most likely location.

      “It is possible or even likely that the training of Ukrainian Leopard 2 tank crews will take place in Swietoszow, but other locations cannot be ruled out,” said Jakub Pawlowski, military expert and deputy editor-in-chief of Defence24.pl.

      A coalition of Ukraine’s Western supporters formed in January to provide Kyiv with German-made Leopard tanks, and on Jan. 20 Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov said Ukrainian troops would be trained on Leopards in Poland.

      At a training centre equipped with simulators, 14 crews of four personnel each can undergo instruction at once. Training on the Leopard – the vaunted modern battlefield tank used by many NATO member countries in Europe – has hitherto taken about 10 weeks but this could be reduced to five, instructors said.

      “If we intensify training (by maximising the number of) instructors, our time and our weekends, we can train an entire crew in five weeks,” Major Maciej Banaszynski, Poland’s Leopard training centre commander, told Reuters on Tuesday.

      “Leopard tanks are third-generation tanks. Their mobility on diverse terrain is better compared to Russian tanks,” said chief warrant officer Lukasz Setny, a senior Leopard instructor.

      “A (Russian tank) is like having a new Fiat 26p rather than a second-hand Mercedes. It is easier and more comfortable to drive an old Mercedes than a new Fiat 126p,” he said.

      Banaszynski said Polish instructors were running Leopard training courses for tank crews and for drivers. “In addition, we now run courses for mechanics for the arms, chassis and equipment accompanying Leopards,” he said.

      The only tank Ukraine has so far used against Russia’s invasion has been the T-72 inherited from the former Soviet Union. But Poland’s Leopard trainers said it was not difficult to switch from operating old- to new-generation battle tanks.

    • reuters- U.S. readies $2 billion-plus Ukraine aid package with longer-range weapons, officials say

      WASHINGTON, Jan 31 (Reuters) – The United States is readying more than $2 billion worth of military aid for Ukraine that is expected to include longer-range rockets for the first time as well as other munitions and weapons, two U.S. officials briefed on the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.

      The weapons aid is expected to be announced as soon as this week, the officials said. It is also expected to include support equipment for Patriot air defense systems, precision guided munitions and Javelin anti-tank weapons, they added.

      One of the officials said a portion of the package, expected to be $1.725 billion, would come from a fund known as the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), which allows President Joe Biden’s administration to get weapons from industry rather than from existing U.S. weapons stocks.

      The longer range of the GLSDB glide bomb could allow Ukraine to hit targets that have been out of reach and help it continue pressing its counterattacks by disrupting Russia further behind its lines.

      Reuters first reported on Boeing’s proposal to field GLSDB for Ukraine in November. At the time it was expected GLSDB could be in Ukraine by spring.

      GLSDB is made jointly by SAAB AB (SAABb.ST) and Boeing. It combines the GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) with the M26 rocket motor, both of which are common in U.S. inventories.

      GLSDB is GPS-guided, can defeat some electronic jamming, is usable in all weather conditions, and can be used against armored vehicles, according to SAAB’s website. The GBU-39 – which would function as the GLSDB’s warhead – has small, folding wings that allow it to glide more than 100km if dropped from an aircraft and hit targets as small as 3 feet (1 meter) in diameter.

      The USAI funds would also be used to pay for more components of HAWK air defenses, counter drone systems, counter artillery and air surveillance radars, communications equipment, PUMA drones, and spare parts for major systems like Patriot and Bradley, one of the officials said.

      There was also a significant amount of medical equipment to equip three field hospitals being donated by another ally, the official added.

      The White House declined to comment.

      In addition to the USAI funds, more than $400 million worth of aid was expected to come from Presidential Drawdown Authority funds, which allows the president to take from current U.S. stocks in an emergency.

      That aid was expected to include mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles (MRAPs), guided multiple launch rocket systems (GMLRS) and ammunition.

      The U.S. has sent approximately $27.2 billion worth of security assistance to Ukraine since Russia’s February 2022 invasion.

      zero hedge- ‘We Found No Misuse Of US Funds In Ukraine’, US Treasury Says (With Straight Face)

      And now for some Tuesday humor, brought to you by the US Treasury Department, which sees no indication whatsoever that US funds have been misused in Ukraine, following last week’s massive political shake-up wherein some dozen top Ukrainian officials were booted from their posts amid persistent corruption, embezzlement and fraud allegations so glaring it even shocked the Ukrainians.

      “We have no indication that U.S. funds have been misused in Ukraine,” Treasury spokesperson Megan Apper said in Treasury’s first comments since the ‘shock’ resignations.

      In the official statement given to Reuters, the US government also hailed the supposed “safeguards” which the Ukrainians have put in place, though without actually specifying any: “We welcome the ongoing efforts by the Ukrainian authorities to work with us to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place so that U.S assistance reaches those for whom it is intended,” Apper said.

      reuters – UPDATE 1-U.S. funds not misused in Ukraine, U.S. Treasury says amid corruption crackdown

      WASHINGTON, Jan 31 (Reuters) –The U.S. Treasury Department on Tuesday said it had no indication that U.S. funds had been misused in Ukraine, but would continue to work closely with Ukrainian authorities to ensure appropriate safeguards were in place to avert corruption.

      It was the Treasury’s first comment on the issue after Ukraine’s government last week dismissed a slew of senior officials in the country’s biggest political shake-up of the war following corruption allegations.

      “We have no indication that U.S. funds have been misused in Ukraine,” Treasury spokesperson Megan Apper said in response to a query from Reuters. “We welcome the ongoing efforts by the Ukrainian authorities to work with us to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place so that U.S assistance reaches those for whom it is intended.”

      Apper said the Treasury would continue to work closely with the World Bank on tracking U.S. disbursements “to confirm that they are used as intended, as well as with Ukraine and other partners to tackle corruption.”

      Democratic and Republican U.S. lawmakers last week praised Ukraine’s government on Tuesday for taking swift action against corruption and insisted that U.S. military and humanitarian aid to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s government should continue.

      Ukraine has a long history of corruption in state-owned or managed companies. Zelensky has repeatedly said there will be no tolerance for fraud or waste.

      The World Bank has disbursed over $13 billion to Ukraine through its Public Expenditures for Administrative Capacity Endurance (PEACE) in Ukraine, as of December, much of it coming from the United States.

      PEACE funds are disbursed to Ukrainian authorities a month after bank officials have verified that they have paid salaries to teachers and civil servants and pension payments, which helps safeguard against problems.

      The bank last month told Reuters it is working with Ukraine to improve its already well-regarded E-Government Procurement System called ProZorro, adding that digital system would help ensure transparency, integrity and ease of access.

      Ukraine ranks 116 out of 180 countries on the annual Corruption Perceptions Index released Tuesday by Transparency International, up one ranking from last year.

      Its score on the index was 33 on a scale of 0-100, where 0 means highly corrupt and 100 means very clean.

    Wind turbines around the world collapsing or catching fire at an alarming rate (under engineered?):

      • Riveting footage. A couple of times while jogging in the park I’ve been attacked by Red-winged Black birds. They went after my head when I got too close to their springtime nest. Another time at my cottage on a beautiful summer day I was laying on my back on the ground looking up at the blue sky. A turkey vulture appeared way high up. Then another. I later learned that vultures watch each other as they ride the thermals. There can be five or six in an area of many square miles. When one goes down it is a signal for the others to follow hoping to share in the catch.

        I closed my eyes for a little while giving no mind to the vultures, not realizing they had actually spotted me as a possible meal. Twenty minutes later I opened them again to see this massive vulture skimming the tree tops right above me. I’m sure its wing span was at least six feet. The another passed even lower. They had slowly descended on me. I got my carcass outta there.

        • ” I got my carcass outta there.”

          I see what you did there!

          Yes once I was watching a Turkey vulture over the Ottawa River. He spotted me and flow very low overhead. Maybe 25 feet AGL.

          I booked an appt with my doctor.

    Ukrainian President Zelensky ordered government officials to destroy all information on Hunter Biden’s Metabiota Company on the same day Russia invaded the country.

    Russia invaded Ukraine on February 22, 2022.

    Zelensky sent out this document on February 24, 2022.
    https://bioclandestine.substack.com/p/zelensky-ordered-destruction-of-all

    Remember when the Pentagon confirmed the US partnered w/46 Ukrainian Bioweapon labs?

    And Hunter Biden secured millions for 1 of the labs – Metabiota?

    Well now we have a 2/24/22 letter from Zelensky ordering the destruction of all gov’t files for Metabiota

    I’m sure it’s nothing.

    Did Zelensky keep some of the more incriminating documents against Hunter at Metabiota and Burisma to use as extortion against Joe Biden to get more money and weapons?

    We all know the answer

    Zelensky sent out a decree on February 24, 2022 for government officials to destroy all information on the Ukrainian Research Anti-Plague Institute, Mechnikov Institute of Health of Ukraine, and the Zhytomyr Regional Laboratory Centers of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, who all worked with Metabiota Inc. (Metabiota) scientists.

    These two documents were originally posted in June 2022. But today, we can confirm that these documents are authentic.

    And today, we are including documents from Hunter Biden’s laptop that discussed his ownership percentage of the Metabiota company and his organization.

    This government document is confirmed as authentic by XR Vision.

    Zelensky was trying to erase all documents associated with Hunter Biden’s Metabiota Company before the War with Russia.

    And Ukrainian officials started burning the documents THAT DAY!

    Here is an image of Ukrainian officials burning documents as the Russians invade.

    This was allegedly the scene at the military intelligence headquarters.

    BOMBSHELL FROM RUSSIA?

    Ukrainian document released to Russian media outlet, @izvestia, showing decree from Zelensky to destroy all files on Ukrainian defense service members, employees and staff of the state, and any involvement with Hunter Biden’s biolab METABIOTA, on 02/24/22, the same day the air strikes on Ukraine began.

    See original document above on the left and then translated in English on the right. Holy shit is this a doozy. But wait, there’s a lot more.

    Remember that infamous video of Ukrainian MIL burning documents RIGHT IN FRONT of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense building in Kyiv, Ukraine? On 02/24/22 THE SAME DAY OF THE DECREE FROM ZELENSKY

    Yup. The MSM broadcasted a video of Ukrainian MIL destroying evidence of Ukrainian State involvement with HUNTER BIDEN’S BIOLAB in Ukraine, right as Russia was beginning its missile strikes.

    This comes as absolutely no surprise.

    The corrupt DOJ has done this before. Of course, they would do it again.

    Only two weeks ago Kash Patel was on Bannon’s War Room where he said:

    A special counsel on paper is the right move and it would have been back in November but the problem is we’ve seen the corrupt government gangsters go out and cover up the corrupt activities. Namely the likes of Rod Rosenstein, Chris Wray and Merrick Garlan

    …Remember Rod Rosenstein appointed Mueller, Comey’s best friend to be Special Counsel. And now you have a situation where Merrick Garland appoints Hur, Special Counsel – H-U-R.

    You know who Hur is? Rod Rosenstein’s number one lawyer when Rod Rosenstein was the Attorney General in charge of the Russiagate investigation where Devin Nunes and I sent him a dozen subpeonas and Rosenstein and Hur blocked eight of the response of those subpeonas becasue they wanted to cover up the corruption at the DOJ and FBI.

    DEEP STATE METASTASIZED

    Guest post by John L. Kachelman, Jr

    “Instead of politicians, let the monkeys govern the countries; at least they will steal only the bananas!” This quote well serves to frame the current feelings of citizens in many nations of the world!

    Over the past thirty years I have worked with forty different foreign nations and the USA. I can honestly say that in ALL nations, I have wrestled and continue to wrestle with corruption from the politicians and the bureaucrats. It is a constant and discouraging struggle not only for those seeking to assist but for those citizens in each nation. In every action, the right thing to do is opposed by arrogant, callous greed and discouragement is increased by ignorant critics. Often, I am tempted to throw up my hands and say “Forget it all!” But then the commitment to right overrules and I return once again to the war against corruption’s obfuscation.

    In 2017 the term “Deep State (DS)” entered use and referred to the idea that there is a cadre of career employees inside a government who are working to manipulate government policy and undermine elected leaders or political appointees by slow-walking requests or dribbling leaks of classified information. These people are positioned in the military, intelligence fields, elected offices, and every bureaucratic agency.

    I addressed this evil in an earlier article noting: Undergirding all governing is a large minion of faceless workers. These are the “Chiefs.” And the “Chiefs” actually run operations. Those elected are the “Faces”; those in the background are the “Chiefs.”

    Our current national distress is fueled by the disintegration of civility, by the devilish strategy to divide the population with hate-filled propaganda ploys, and by dissolving our personal and national security. We stand in a precarious position orchestrated by the Deep State. It is discouraging.

    But! Our current situation is not unique in the world’s history. Historical facts buttress our faith against fear. Our confidence can be firm. Our resolve must be deliberate.

    Recently I was reminded of the historical fact of the DS unraveling a government. This first account takes us back to the later years of the Roman Empire. Read and observe how closely the politics then are practiced now.

    The Praetorian Guard began as a loyal elite unit. They were trusted and committed to the rule of law and civility. However, their reputation was compromised and their splendor was replaced with ruthless greed. When Emperor Commodus was killed in 192 AD, Emperor Pertinax took the throne hoping to correct the national decline. Pertinax realized that Rome’s treasury was empty, the legions were being over-paid, and financial ruin was soon to come.

    When a new Emperor took the throne it was customary to give a large donation to the Praetorians. By this point, the Praetorians held the only weapons in Rome—thus giving them all the power. Pertinax paid the Praetorians but the Praetorians complained that it was not enough. The Praetorians respond by killing Pertinax.

    But there was a problem—with whom would they replace Pertinax? Usually, when you killed an Emperor you have his replacement ready to go. Usually, this replacement has made deals with the Praetorians to pay everyone obscene amounts of money once he becomes Emperor.

    The Praetorians did not have a successor so, they auctioned the throne to the highest bidder.

    A Senator named Didius Julianus won. He met with the Senate and tried to comfort them by reminding them that he was one of them.

    The Senate, the people, and the Legions were furious. The commanders of the frontier legions turned and marched on Rome. The Praetorians surrendered.

    Didius was executed, his last words being “but what evil have I done, who have I killed.”

    The Praetorians were disbanded and further devolved into a group of lazy political thugs.

    A sobering historical constant…the unraveling of a nation’s civility begins when the politicians surrender the nation’s interests for personal greed and the instruments of national justice surrender the principles of justice for personal proclivities! Destruction is guaranteed. Even those in ruling status are not immune to certain destruction.

    Didius the Senator and the Praetorians followed their delusions into destruction. This is a constant that is unyielding and absolute.

    Those in positions of governing today (elected or bureaucratic) should fear because they are approaching an appointment with this historical constant! They may protest “What evil have I done?” but the politicians and bureaucrats will not be excused.

    Look now to the year 612 BC for another illustration of the DS treachery. Another government had fallen into dysfunction. The citizens pleaded for divine help but none appeared. A prophet spoke: “How long, Lord, have I called for help, and You do not hear? I cry out to You, ‘Violence!’ Yet You do not save. Why do You make me see disaster, and make me look at destitution? Yes, devastation and violence are before me; strife exists and contention arises. Therefore, the Law is ignored, and justice is never upheld. For the wicked surround the righteous; therefore, justice comes out confused.” (The Bible, Habakkuk 1:2-4).

    The situation sounds as if it is today’s news. Civility has vanished. Governing has become corrupt. Justice is “never upheld.”

    The perplexity of the prophet and people was not left unanswered. The Almighty God replied, “Look! Watch! Be horrified! Be frightened speechless! For I am accomplishing a work in your days—You would not believe it even if you were told!” (1:5). The perplexed prophet agreed to wait for the unbelievable to occur, but in the meantime, he was expected to continue his discouraging labor to expose and confront the evil injustices and ungodliness of his day.

    …accountability is assured—no one will escape; each will be held responsible!

    …lazy political thugs further devolve—exposure is assured; true character will emerge!

    …national conscience is critical—our nation is not past hope IF the national conscience lives!

    …politicians will answer and bureaucrats will be judged—civil function integrity can be restored!

    …consequences will be certain—it will be horrific and the guilty will be speechless!

    …the Deep State will be Deep Six—they will not continue!

    …God will not be mocked—He is working an unbelievable work in the midst of evil!

    The Nuremberg and Tokyo trials emphasized that transcending norms govern all humanity. These norms cannot be set aside by national laws, selfish politicians, arrogant bureaucrats, or revisionist progressives. This conclusion is validated by historical constants.

    It is past time for the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of our government to face these historical facts. To them I say, “YOU have the opportunity to do what is right for this nation! YOU can stop and stand and join with others to return our nation to its position. YOUR day of reckoning, as to how you governed, is coming so prepare to meet YOUR God!”

    It is time for the general population to realize the tragic state into which our nation has devolved—hatred, division, and ungodliness headline a long list of accepted actions that are unraveling the fabric of our nation’s conscience. The answer is not in the State’s power but in the hands of each citizen. There is a call to action—Hold the elected accountable! Prosecute punishment for the criminal!

  17. US To Boost Military Presence On Island Nation To Counter China Threat: REPORT
    Micaela Burrow
    on January 31, 2023
    The U.S. and the Philippines are nearing an agreement to allow the U.S. military expanded presence on the island’s military bases as both countries eye China’s increasing threat to stability in the Pacific region, The Washington Post reported, citing officials.

    The upcoming deal will upgrade access for units of the U.S. armed forces to Philippine military bases and include enhanced cooperation on a variety of security issues, such as rapid natural disaster response, the Post reported, citing U.S. and Philippine officials. Two of the sites under consideration lie on the northern Philippine island of Luzon, which analysts told the Post could serve as strategic bases from which to launch counter-China operations in the event of a contingency in the South China Sea — including an invasion of Taiwan.

    Increased military cooperation “bodes well for our defense posture” but “is not aimed at any particular country,” a Philippine defense official told the Post. The deal is “more or less” worked out, but it will be finalized when Austin and Philippine acting defense secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. meet, the official said.

    An announcement could come as soon as this week when Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin visits his Philippine counterpart and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., although the details are still being worked out, the Post reported.

    U.S. and Philippine officials have pored over possible locations in recent months, and at least two

  18. What Could Go Wrong? Scientists Launch Project To Bring The Dodo Bird Back From The Dead

    Scientists believe they have found a way to bring back the animal most synonymous with the extinction, the dodo bird. Should their endeavor prove successful, this could open the door for the resurrection of several other animals that were thought to be long gone.

    A “de-extinction company” known as Colossal Biosciences has decided to play God and right a “wrong” done by humans by using edited DNA to create a so-called proxy version of the dodo since an exact clone is not possible. Should the recreation prove successful, the next step would be to re-introduce the dodo to its original habitat in Mauritius.

    The founders of the company believes reintroducing the dodo will benefit conservation and the wildlife ecosystem. They do not elaborate on why, however.

    Colossal Biosciences is also working bringing other endangered species back from the dead, such as the Tasmanian tiger and wooly mammoth

    The media today probably does not dig deeply enough or spend sufficient time on
    stories. The best way to ensure that sources will be open and honest is to treat them fairly.”

    This quote is also the opening statement in the lawsuit filed yesterday by President Donald J. Trump against the journalist and others that alleges they unlawfully profited by selling audio of President Trump obtained during interviews to be used solely for Woodward’s book, Rage.

    Yesterday, the Gateway Pundit reported on this lawsuit regarding the year-long interview process and the use of protected tapes and recordings without any accounting to President Trump.

    Back in September of 2020, The Gateway Pundit also reported that President Trump was convinced to grant Woodward the interview by Sen. Lindsey Graham. Ironically, Senator Graham strangely appeared with President Trump during a rally in South Carolina on Saturday, just two days before the lawsuit against Woodward was filed.

    2005

    Blogger Jacob Creech aka @WarClandestine is back on Twitter thanks to Elon Musk, who first broke the Ukraine biolabs story Feb. 24, which Gateway Pundit was one of the only media to report on accurately.

    Now Creech has released a Twitter thread detailing how “WW3 already started. Covid-19 was the first weapon fired.”

    Creech said he would “address why US establishment politicians are sending tanks, jets, weapons, equipment, and $100+ billion to Ukraine. It has nothing to do with Ukrainian citizens, and everything to do with Deep State assets/secrets in Ukraine.”

    Flashback to 2005. Then Senator Obama and Senator Lugar visited former Soviet biological and chemical facilities in Ukraine, and established the US Deep State roots in Ukraine. To “counter bioweapons”.”

    The labs were “part of a Cold War network of ‘antiplague’ stations that supplied highly lethal pathogens to Soviet bioweapons factories”. So when Russia does “anti-plague” research its “bioweapons”.

    But when the US does “defensive gain of function/directed evolution” research, it’s not bioweapons. In 2005 @washingtonpost admits that “anti-plague” research results in the production of “highly lethal pathogens” aka “bioweapons”.”

    The US, led by Obama, passed the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Act of 2005. The US took over former Soviet labs and facilities, supposedly to destroy stockpiles of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons in Ukraine.”

    The Daily Mail reported:

    A senior Republican promised to hold the Biden administration to account on Monday amid a fresh report that weapons abandoned to the Taliban during the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan had made their way to another conflict.

    Authorities in Indian-controlled Kashmir claimed that Pakistan-linked militants have been seen with M4s, M16s and other American arms that have rarely been spotted before in the decades-long conflict.

    Rep. Mike Waltz, a former Green Beret, said it was the predictable result of the chaotic 2021 withdrawal.

    ‘House Republicans warned this would happen yet there was zero oversight or investigation into Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan under Nancy Pelosi,’ he told DailyMail.com.

    ‘Rest assured, we will be holding hearings and looking into the consequences of leaving so much military equipment behind.’

    Legendary poet Maya Angelou is famous for her quote “when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” A far-left Nebraska state senator decided to declare war on religious families despite her protestations afterwards that she was merely trolling.

    State Senator Megan Hunt was so triggered over a Republican-backed bill that would bar young children from attending grotesque drag queen shows and penalize the adults taking them that she filed a blatantly unconstitutional amendment last Friday to go after individuals taking their kids to church events like vacation Bible study.

    Courtesy of the Blaze, here are the full details of Hunt’s blasphemous proposal:

    Hunt’s amendment calls for blocking youth from “religious indoctrination camp,” which the proposal defines as “a camp, vacation Bible study, retreat, lock-in, or convention held by a church, youth group, or religious organization for the purpose of indoctrinating children with a specific set of religious beliefs.”
