Israel and Ukraine are money laundering operations.

The money goes to those countries, and they buy weapons with them.

The cash goes back to congress.

Ok, I’ve only just read the title, but I have to comment. I just ran into a Substack follower who is applauding the decision to send more money to Ukraine. I asked him where the government was going to get all this money? Of course we know tax payers, right? We will have to fit that bill sinking us deeper into dept. It’s like our government spends money like a drunk sailor!

Ok, back to the read.....

The utter lack of rational thought is mind-boggling to those who possess it. So many refuse to ask, "How... why... where..." It's cognitive dissonance on a mass scale.

I’m afraid it’s no better in Europe where governments have been giving billions without so much as an agreement… all under the ‘it’s our war’ motto

They must think as long as they get their money who cares? Creepy to think these are our world leaders. I am so glad I believe in God and have an anchor in a higher spiritual force then these clowns 🤡

So true. And creepy is the right word.

Politicians who have any integrity usually quit because they can’t stand the pressure of compromising there soul to stay relevant in DC.

And unfortunately more sadistically, "politicians" who enter the field as humans with a real human agenda, most often it goes 1 of 2 ways- either they succumb to the corruption or they & their family meet a "tragic accident" & after the news bombshell everyone else goes back to "normal" life- the 1s who get out & quit early are the lucky 1s

“While it has been months since I have been active there, considering the entirety of what I am seeing unfold? The time to fire it back up (but only AS a ‘back-up,’ in the event a worst-case scenario unfolds here) may be fast approaching.”

Another great place is Bastyon where you earn cryptocurrency by engaging and posting. It runs on Blockchain and does not need the Internet. https://bastyon.com/about

Hmm, thanks for the suggestion, Charlotte! I'll have to investigate further... ☺️

Are you using it, Charlotte?

I use it as much as I do telegram. I’ve had a Telegram account now for years and I’ve never posted on it, but I love to tinker around and look on both platforms. Telegram isn’t set up to be an interactive social platform whereas Bastyon is conducive for more of a social media experience. Bastyon operates on blockchain and runs on cryptocurrency. I found it several years ago from a friends suggestion. And on there, I’ve discovered some amazing amount of worldwide information., I’ve not found anywhere else.

Thank you, Charlotte.

That’s interesting. Must take a look.

If you want to write posts which you know will be censored other places including Substack - then it’s the place to be. I might begin sharing my posts from here on Substack on there. Keith Radcliffe, who I subscribe to here is on Bastyon cam for that purpose. Bastyon is similar to notes here., but you can post long thought out articles as well

We've come around to the point of No Taxation without Representation once again. More inflation on the way. At some point, the pain has to be a tipping point, one would think. But then again, nothing in this reality is playing out in any kind of logical way.

It's bizarre to me, that last line you noted. 'Logically progression' seems to have taken a holiday, in so many different areas of life. It appears we really DO live in an unnatural world these days 😐

Great comment, man! Appreciate it 🫡

They are so focused on the symbolic victory that they seem to have missed that, of all the money allocated to Ukraine (64b), most of it is actually going to be spent to replenish Pentagon stocks that were already sent to Ukraine. There is only about $14 billion in a slush fund for Ukraine to go shopping with.

And the shelves are bare because all the artillery ammunition and new howitzer barrels have already been used up the past two years, so there’s nobody selling.

But of course I already see articles about how Russia will have to cancel its upcoming offensive and Ukraine is now set to win the war by 2025.

The Narrative is undefeated in what is left of Joe Biden’s mind, but on the battlefield it hasn’t fared as well.

This is LIT!!! Keep your coins. Get some sun. Grow your gold. It's interesting, I went to China in 2017 and even in the hotels where I had wifi, I usually couldn't access Facebook and some other apps, so I always thought it odd how they push this in the USA but restrict their own people from them. The blending of censorship and propaganda meet in the boardroom of politicians, snakes.

I love this comment :-)

And to say I agree with your assessments 100% would probably be overkill, but...

Our southern border security is we’re absorbing Mexico. Imperialism is both ugly and creative. Doing it slowly like this is nothing new by the way.

The Mexicans and the common Americans bear the suffering. It’s also self funded and the Mexicans handle all the violence.

Note the cartels have money, houses here… I suspect their children may be attending college here - an Imperial “tell.” Almost as if they become different people when they are south instead of Norte. Clocking in and out of work.

Analysis isn’t advocacy.

I deplore this, but I’m deplorable.

Excellent points! Agree with all. Natural Elements hits me where I live. Farmers Mkts, local processors, co-ops. Buy local, if we don’t buy it they can’t sell it. Communities are the way forward. Bazaars, artisans, craftsmen all contributing and benefitting. Technology is good. But too much of even a good thing is bad. Technology is a tool. Some things are just tried and true and can’t be improved on. And we’ll finally get rid of Chinese knockoffs and build things that last again. From Companies instead of Corporations. 🍻

Another awesome piece, sir. I have been on a Vitamin D regimen as a part of my treatment for my seizure disorder as a counterbalance for the seizure meds. In 2020, I increased my intake of vitamin D supplements in order to protect my system from the “pandemic bug”. I can, at this stage, tell you that I have not been afflicted with any flu like symptoms to date (knocking on wood as I type this). So far so good as some may say. My cardiologist has suggested that I lower that intake but I still side with my neurologist who said that my levels are fine.

That's awesome, Scott, it's good to hear testimony 'from the trenches'... so to speak. I suspect as 'science' catches up with Nature, we're going to discover even more benefits to natural vitamins ;-)

Appreciate the kind words as well, my friend - glad you enjoyed this one :-)

There must be something more to this. Whatever could it be?

This is how “The New Federalism” works - all Federal, State and Local government have been provincialized. You pay what they demand and you get to vote. Someone deprives you of life liberty or property - well in regards to life it doesn’t matter because you’d be dead otherwise lease a lawyer and take you chance on an elected judge to determine your worthiness if any - I hate living here and wish I could move
