​4-19-23, * -- In parts of California and other states, stealing from retailers aka shoplifting merchandise valued at $950 or less has been de-facto decriminalized. Thieves now are permitted to walk into a store and steal whatever they can without fear of police intervening as long as it’s within the value limit. If you call together your posse to raid a store, and a hundred people overwhelm it to steal all they can, there’s nothing the employees can do about it. It’s a clever tactic; it happens not because they’re poor, black, or there aren’t enough police, but because people no longer have a sense of right or wrong. And the police are loath to stop them for fear of being called racists. In places like Portland, Oregon the retailer, Walmart has permanently close all of its stores because of the rise in theft. Also Target has closed stores in downtown Chicago, Minneapolis and Washington, DC.
 
The real problem in the USA is the corrupt moral fabric. Now that God and His Commandments have been banned and murder [babies in the womb], theft, whore mongering, homosexuality, sex without marriage is supported - even lauded, there’s not much of a moral compass left. It’s no longer clear to the average American what is right and what is wrong. Good is now evil and evil is now good. [Isaiah 5:20]

Common criminality is not tolerated in China — or anywhere in the Orient. Welfare barely exists. That’s one reason why in recent years China has risen relative to the US. The social and moral underpinnings of China are shockingly better than they are in the “woke” USA. 

At the founding of America, the State represented only a fraction of the economy. Now it’s 50% and people expect its involvement everywhere. People have come to treat it as a cornucopia, not the dangerous predator it is. Welfare is available everywhere, from corporations to individuals. Food, shelter, medical care, education and even jobs are expected to be the province of the government. These things should have nothing to do with the government.
 
The bottom line is that we can expect crime to continue rising. And the State is now more the cause than the cure of the problem. The nonobservance of shoplifting laws is just one more symptom of a corrupt culture and a collapsing civilization. This trend of rising crime is an indicator of the general degradation of civilization itself.

​Let's Fight Climate Change Without Eating Bugs
2-15-22, NewYorkMag -- Should  the human species seriously consider bugs as an alternate source of protein? Reportedly 2 billion of the world's people already regularly eat crickets and the like (though that figure may be an exaggeration). 

Beans and legumes are fiber-rich nutrient an excellent source of protein, 1/2 cup cooked beans provides appx 7 grams of protein, the same as 1 ounce of meat and helps lower “bad” LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol.​ In general eating beans, peas, nuts, seeds, soy and 100% whole grains helps protect against chronic degenerative diseases too!

4-10-23, VisualCapitalist [here] -- What does that mean for modern nation states conditioned to expect a constant influx of new citizens and labor to power their economies? And how can those changing economies adapt to a shrinking population?

​The world fertility rate has been falling steadily since the 1970s. In 2020, the world’s fertility rate stood at 2.3, slightly above the replacement rate of 2.1 births per woman, which allows for one generation to replace itself. However, this is down more than two times from 4.7 in 1960. However, the world’s average hides the vast disparities between the fertility rate of nations.

​The Squatter In Your House - The IRS
4-15-23, Ben Garrison* -- It’s tax day. AGAIN…..and the Marxist Democrats are sending $80 billion to the IRS to fund 1000s of new employees. Ole Joe Biden has promised they will go after the ‘rich’ and make them ‘pay their fair share.’ Who is rich exactly? Apparently it’s anyone making $400,000 per year or more; however the ‘rich’ already pay the lion’s share of the tax revenue - top 25% pay 89% of the taxes. [1]
However, millionaires and billionaires have legions of expert tax lawyers who ensure they pay only what is lawfully necessary [like President Trump did]. The IRS knows it’s a waste of time to spend too much time auditing them. So Biden and Yellen’s plan is to put the squeeze on selfish rich folk who aren’t quite millionaires. Well, that’s what they say. What they really want to do is go after small businesses and the middle class; especially MAGA conservatives who’re the ones who will be targeted and harassed. They know the people who make less can’t afford tax lawyers and are easy marks. Biden and Yellen want that water squeezed from rocks as well as control middle class America. 

They want you to make errors on your tax forms so they will have the option to come at you with fees and compounding penalties. They can also send the new well-armed IRS agents to your door to cart you off to jail. To the IRS, you are guilty until you can prove yourself innocent.
 
It’s time to end the IRS and the Federal Reserve; but that’s not likely to happen. I doubt the Republicans will even summon the political muster to end the $80 billion funding to the IRS, thus preventing their new army of harassing auditors. Sure, the Republicans complain, but in the end they are part of the uni-party and they always go along. They couldn’t even end Obama Care when they supposedly had the votes.

Massive Numbers of Military-Age Chinese Men Lining Up in Panama to ILLEGALLY Cross into USA
4-17-23, Hal Turner - See video here: bit.ly/3mHoT81

More from Hal Turner [here video]:
​Now, pretty much EVERY American knows that relations between the USA and China are not good.  There's  very candid talk that China is going to "re-unify" with Taiwan, and that may happen by force. . . war. The US has publicly (foolishly) stated it will "Defend" Taiwan.  Quite a goal given that Taiwan is 8,000 miles from the USA, but only 90 miles from mainland China. Just how does the US think it will supply a logistics train for wartime operations which has any hope of overcoming mainland China's ability to supply Chinese troops? Yet pledge to defend  Taiwan, the US has . . . 
With talk of war and lo and behold, we have thousands of MILITARY-AGE CHINESE MEN moving to cross into the USA illegally. Is there any doubt in your mind that these men are part of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) being sent here by their Communist China bosses to attack the USA from within ?  If they were coming lawfully, they wouldn't be doing this in Panama.

• Amish Farmer Threatened for Not Giving Up Traditional Farming

​Recently USA armed federal agents threatened a traditional Amish farmer just 150 miles outside Washington, D.C., who does not use pesticides, fertilizer, or gas to run his farm.
​
4-13-23, Joseph Mercola -- Owner of Miller's Organic Farm, Amish farmer, Amos Miller who has been under the USDA’s microscope. In 2015 the National Organic Program from the USA Dept of Agriculture (USDA) first launched an investigation seeking all purchase records and a list of members who pay a premium to get food from an independent farmer who doesn’t grow food using chemicals and process meat and dairy at a USDA facility - the Dept of Justice seems intent to stamp them out. [..] 

Miller is an Amish farmer who runs a holistically managed small farm growing and preparing food in tune with nature, the way he believes God intended. Yet the US federal govt doesn't agree with his 4,000 customers who want his meat, eggs and dairy products. As the Western Journal reports, the CDC’s finding in 2016 was from a 2014 outbreak of listeria. It's unknown why it took the CDC two years to find the source, but it's clear there've been no other complaints against the farm.
​Why Is the USDA Focused on Miller?
The USA government is again trying to issue hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, which would essentially put the farm out of business. Rebel News calls this recent court-ordered armed threat “an attack on Amish religious freedom.”  Apparently, the USDA’s motivation: Not only does Miller not use pesticides, herbicides and GMO seeds - but he also doesn’t rely on gasoline or fertilizer. In other words, his bottom line is not affected by the war between Ukraine and Russia, which has not been the experience of others who don’t farm like Miller. More from EpochTimes here

​Ukraine and Russia Sanctions [here]
4-1-2-23, USA Dept of State -- Biden Executive Orders:

• 13660 , signed on March 6, 2014, authorizes sanctions on individuals and entities responsible for violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, or for stealing the assets of the Ukrainian people. 
• 13661 , issued on March 17, 2014, under the national emergency with respect to Ukraine that find that the actions and policies of the Russian government with respect to Ukraine -– including through the deployment of Russian military forces in the Crimea region of Ukraine.
• 13685  was issued Dec 19, 2014 under Pres Obama. Utilizing these Executive Orders, the United States has steadily increased the diplomatic and financial costs of Russia’s aggressive actions towards Ukraine. As well as imposed targeted sanctions limiting certain financing to six of Russia’s largest banks and four energy companies. 
• 13694  was issued on April 1, 2015 and authorized the imposition of sanctions on individuals and entities determined to be responsible for or complicit in malicious cyber-enabled activities that result in enumerated harms that are reasonably likely to result in, or have materially contributed to, a significant threat to the national security, foreign policy, or economic health or financial stability of the United States. 

​4-11-23, * -- As the USA grapples with the aftermath of Joe Biden’s catastrophic 2021 evacuation of Afghanistan and the importation of Islamic foreigners into America; new reports reveal shocking, but predicted behavior, of the Afghan people towards the workers resettling them in the USA. The US State Dept Inspector General report has revealed that many/most of the 73,000 Muslims brought to the USA in 2021, 2022 have exhibited racist, sexist and verbally abusive behavior towards American staff. Not only are the Afghan refugees unvetted for radical ideology or criminal backgrounds, the US government doesn't even know who they are. If case managers are women or from minority groups the refugees have rejected accommodations and refuse to work with them. Some or most falsely believed they would be placed in positions within their chosen field or receive “welcome money” upon arriving in the USA. These are the same issues European countries have struggled with since the 2015 mass-Islamic migration crisis they have endured. Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark and Norway all lined up to take more Afghani refugees despite massive pushback from their country’s conservative parties and the majority of citizens. Afghan males brought into Europe have been responsible for thousands of sexual assaults and rapes. Europe has failed in its attempt to pass its Integration Law, mandating migrants to sign an “integration contract” requiring them to learn the language of their host nation. [..]

The Babylon Bee [here] Woke behavior just for fun excerpt of parody follows:
    *Carefully choose your pronouns and then scream them at everyone you meet: Whenever you go to Costco, loudly scream your pronouns in shoppers' faces. 
   *Select the most oppressed identity possible
   *Compare everything to Nazis (as long as you're a Democrat. If you're a Republican this might get you fired).
*​Learn to hate the right people: Hate is good when directed at the correct targets.

    *Classify everyone according to their race and not as an individual: Always loudly acknowledge the skin color of every person you talk to and make it the main subject of the conversation.
    *If you are white have black friends: This may trick you into thinking you aren't racist.
    *Vote for policies that sound virtuous, no matter how much they actually harm people of color: Always vote for policies with virtuous-sounding names, even if they destroy black and brown communities. Appearance is everything!
    *Always have extremely low expectations of minorities: Be sure to constantly remind them they can never overcome their circumstances without your help.
   * Abandon God and instead accept everything the woke crowd believes without question: Your religious beliefs are at odds with others. You should fix that and accept Wokism. Repeat after us:
WOKISM IS NOT A CULT. WOKISM IS NOT A CULT. WOKISM IS NOT A CULT
    * Achieve inner peace by constantly beating yourself up for not doing better: Place a hard yoke and a heavy lifelong burden upon yourself that will never be satisfied and that will never offer grace, forgiveness, or rest.
