Russia does not shut itself from the US and Europe, and it is time for them to “stop fooling around” expecting Russia’s collapse, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during the meeting of the Council on Strategic Development and National Projects.
“I would like to note that we do not shut ourselves from the American continent, from North America, from the US and Canada, we do not shut ourselves from European states,” the head of state said. “They [the US and Europe] actually should stop fooling around and stop waiting for us to collapse.”
According to the president, it has become clear to everyone that, if Western states want to benefit from cooperation with Russia, they can do it.
“We do not push them away. But it is their business and their decision,” Putin noted.
He noted that the US and Europe must themselves contemplate what they are being motivated by.
“Either by some ephemeral considerations of the destruction of Russia, or by the interests of their own country, their own people, of their own kind,” the Russian leader explained. “But, I repeat, it is their business.”
Homelessness shot up by more than 12% this year, reaching 653,104 people. The numbers represent the sharpest increase and largest unhoused population since the federal government began tallying totals in 2007, the U.S. Department of Urban Planning and Development said Friday. Last year, federal data showed 582,462 people experienced homelessness.
At least things are still good for those at the very top of the food chain. But for everyone else, economic conditions have already become very painful. Today, the vast majority of Americans have less money than they did prior to the pandemic, and thanks to raging inflation our standard of living is steadily going down.
We are in the early stages of “the greatest real estate correction” in our history, and 1 out of every five children in the United States does not have enough food to eat. With each passing day, more members of the middle class join the ranks of the poor, and more poor people find themselves getting kicked out into the streets. According to the Wall Street Journal, new numbers show that the number of homeless people in the United States has reached a brand new record high…
The U.S. count of homeless people surged to the highest level on record, reaching more than 653,000 people early this year as Covid-19 pandemic-aid spending faded, new federal data show.
The increase reflects a collision of factors: rising housing costs; limited affordable housing units; the opioid epidemic; and the expired pandemic-era aid that had helped keep people in their homes, federal officials said Friday.
In addition to having more homeless people in this country than ever before, additional people are becoming homeless at the fastest pace on record…
Homelessness shot up by more than 12% this year, reaching 653,104 people. The numbers represent the sharpest increase and largest unhoused population since the federal government began tallying totals in 2007, the U.S. Department of Urban Planning and Development said Friday. Last year, federal data showed 582,462 people experienced homelessness.
We have literally never seen a spike in homelessness like this before.
It is being reported that prior to these new numbers “the previous largest increase was a spike of 2.7 percent recorded in 2019”.
Just think about that for a moment.
At no point during the “Great Recession” did we see an increase in homelessness like this.
Essentially the floodgates have opened up and an absolutely massive tsunami of homelessness has begun.
Black people made up 13% of the U.S. population in 2023, but they made up 21% of the U.S. population living in poverty, 37% of all people experiencing homelessness, and 50% of homeless people in families with children.
Asian and Asian American people had the largest percentage increase in homelessness, up 40% from 2022, to a total of 11,574.
Hispanic and Latino people saw the largest numerical increase, up 28% from 2022 to 179,336in 2023.
And please keep in mind that these are the ones that they can actually count.
How many more homeless Americans are out there that can’t be found or that don’t want to be found?
Of course, many of you don’t need me to tell you that we have a homelessness crisis in America.
All you have to do to see it is to step outside your front door.
In San Francisco, residents have to do “the Poopie Dance” as they go to work because so many homeless people use the streets as a toilet…
They call it ‘The Poopie Dance’ and San Franciscans are having to learn it – and quickly.
It involves constantly looking straight ahead to find a clean line between where you are on the street and where you want to go.
Sadly, it’s the reality in parts of the Bay City as the growing homeless population have taken to using the famed streets of San Francisco as one giant open-air toilet.
So why is this happening?
Well, the truth is that there are a lot of factors that are contributing to this crisis, but one of the biggest is the fact that housing in the U.S. is now more unaffordable than it has ever been before…
High housing costs continue to be a financial stressor for the poorest Americans. In recent years, more people in the U.S. are rent-burdened, according to HUD, meaning they spend more than 30% or even over 50% of their income on rent.
Of course, just about everything is less affordable these days.
For example, just check out what a new Ford F-150 will cost you these days…
For the 2024 F-150 XLT, in the two-door rear-wheel-drive base-everything configuration, the MSRP before “destination and delivery charges” is $47,620 per Ford’s website today. The “destination and delivery charges” of $1,995 give the truck a total MSRP of $49,615.
The average transaction price for all new vehicles sold is about $46,000, according to J.D. Power. A fully decked-out high-end F-series 4×4 Crew Cab can be well over $100,000.
Ouch!
A new truck is out of reach for most Americans at this point.
And actually “a middle-class lifestyle” is out of reach for most Americans at this point.
The numbers that the government gives us say that we aren’t officially in a recession at this moment, but to most of us it certainly feels like a recession has already begun…
That’s according to a recent survey conducted by Bankrate, which found 59% of U.S. adults feel like the economy is in a recession, defined by two consecutive quarters of negative growth.
Regardless of income, households said they are feeling the pressure at about the same amount. Sixty percent of respondents in the lowest-income households, making under $50,000 a year, said the economy feels like it is in a recession. Of those in higher-income households making more than $100,000 annually, 61% agreed.
I wish that I could tell you that economic conditions will improve in 2024 and beyond.
Lavrov then took another shot at the U.S., asking: “Is there a single place where the U.S. intervened with military force, where life has become better? I think you know the answer.”
The foreign minister of Russia recently expressed a sentiment that has been weighing on the minds of many in Western nations in recent years: the West’s 500-year dominance on the world stage is drawing to an abrupt close.
Speaking to the Doha Forum in a video address, Sergey Lavrov explained that he was unable to attend the event in person and hear its discussions, “But I assume that you were discussing the multipolar world, which is emerging after 500 years of domination of what we call the ‘collective West.’”
Lavrov said that BRICS, ASEAN, African Union and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, among others, will form the building blocks of “the new polycentric world.”
He also took Western nations to task for how they gained their dominance, saying that it was “based on a diverse history, including ruthless exploitation of peoples and territories of other countries.”
According to Lavrov, the West’s enemies have used the same tactics to chip away at its dominance.
“However, other countries, using exactly the principles and instruments of the Western globalization, managed to beat the West on its own turf, building the economies on the basis of national sovereignty, on the basis of balance of interests with other countries,” he said.
He added that the emergence of new areas of political influence and financial growth have been transforming the world’s balance of power.
Lavrov believes that America and its allies have been attempting to stop this type of development by shifting their focus from globalization to a “rules-based world order” that has been used to help the West further its aims.
This, he says, can be seen “in various conflicts, which the West ignites all over the world,” citing Ukraine as an example. “Everything goes to keep the hegemony. Intervention in domestic affairs, sanctions against all the principles of competition, regime change, and of course, direct military interventions, like we have seen in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria and elsewhere.”
Lavrov then took another shot at the U.S., asking: “Is there a single place where the U.S. intervened with military force, where life has become better? I think you know the answer.”
Ukraine war is evidence of the West’s dominance fading
This is not just the opinion of someone who perceives themselves to be on the winning side of a global shift in power; former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair has also cited the Ukraine war as evidence of the West’s dominance fading. He said that the world was entering a turning point in which the West is on the losing side as China approaches superpower status in collaboration with Russia.
In a lecture he gave in London last year, he remarked: “We are coming to the end of Western political and economic dominance.”
“The world is going to be at least bi-polar and possibly multi-polar,” he added. “The biggest geo-political change of this century will come from China, not Russia.”
With the Chinese economy predicted to take over that of the U.S. within a decade and its world-leading efforts in realms such as regenerative medicine and artificial intelligence, the country has emerged as a bona fide contender for the world’s top superpower, in Blair’s estimation.
“China’s place as a superpower is natural and justified. It is not the Soviet Union,” he said.
However, Blair warned that the West needs to take steps to prevent China from overtaking it in terms of military power. He said: “We should increase defense spending and maintain military superiority,” adding that America and its allies “should be superior enough to cater for any eventuality or type of conflict and in all areas.”
Over 200 million coronavirus jabs were reportedly sent to landfills simply because they were no longer needed
The EU has reportedly sent at least 215 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines to the dumpster since they were first purchased at the height of the pandemic, an analysis by Politico has revealed. In an article on Sunday, the outlet estimated that the junked jabs cost the bloc’s taxpayers as much as €4 billion ($4.37 billion).
Meanwhile, Poland and Hungary, which have refused to accept any more vaccines, are now being sued by Pfizer for non-payment, while in Romania, prosecutors are looking to try the country’s former prime minister and two health ministers for causing over €1 billion in damages to the state through unnecessary vaccine purchases.
The EU has reportedly sent at least 215 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines to the dumpster since they were first purchased at the height of the pandemic, an analysis by Politico has revealed. In an article on Sunday, the outlet estimated that the junked jabs cost the bloc’s taxpayers as much as €4 billion ($4.37 billion).
Following the approval of the first coronavirus vaccines developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, in 2021 the EU hastily entered a contract with the US pharmaceutical giant to purchase 1.1 billion doses – a decision that was applauded at the time but later turned out to have been excessive and untimely. That contract effectively forced EU countries to buy the doses despite the fact that the pandemic was already winding down. As noted by Politico, efforts to donate the excess to developing countries had also failed due to logistical issues and falling demand.
Over the course of the pandemic, the EU ultimately received at least 1.5 billion doses; an estimated 3 jabs per person. However, the member states, according to Politico’s calculations, ended up discarding an average of 0.7 jabs for every member of the population, with Estonia and Germany being the most wasteful, throwing away nearly one dose per inhabitant.
The outlet admits that its calculations are only estimates because governments have been reluctant to actually report or reveal the scale of the waste. However, Politico insists that its calculations are likely underestimated, if anything.
The EU’s wastefulness and questionable deal with Pfizer have also come with political blowback. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has been under fire ever since it emerged that she had privately communicated with the pharmaceutical giant’s CEO Albert Bourla via text messages and phone calls while the deal was still being negotiated.
The Commission has refused to comment on the issue and has claimed that Von der Leyen’s text messages with big pharma on deals worth multiple billions of dollars could not be found.
Meanwhile, Poland and Hungary, which have refused to accept any more vaccines, are now being sued by Pfizer for non-payment, while in Romania, prosecutors are looking to try the country’s former prime minister and two health ministers for causing over €1 billion in damages to the state through unnecessary vaccine purchases.
Despite the reported wastefulness, the jabs will continue to flow to the EU under the Pfizer contract at least until 2027. The bloc was previously set to receive an additional 450 million doses in 2023 but under a revised deal in May, that total was brought down and spread over the next four years. Brussels, however, has not clarified how many doses are still yet to be received or how many each country will have to buy.
That’s what the globalists say, you will own nothing and be happy. Except you won’t be happy, you will own nothing. But you’ll be hopping mad because they will have stolen it from you. And you’ll wonder how did they do that? Well, this is how they’re doing it. This is the mechanism. They’ve created a legal mechanism that will stand up in court that you can’t challenge. When they flip the switch, and crater the banking system, we’re all going to lose everything in the bank.
This is a partial transcript of Brighteon Broadcast News, Dec 18th, 2023, focused on “The Great Taking” documentary by David Webb, which reveals a nefarious plan by central banks to quite literally steal all assets from nearly everyone during the next engineered debt collapse. Find links to the documentary and a downloadable PDF at TheGreatTaking.com.
I really encourage you to watch this documentary The Great Taking by David Webb. If you’re paying attention, then you’ll realize that he’s talking about the creation of this new legal construct called a security entitlement. Now, what this means is that you think that you own your securities, stocks, bonds, bank accounts, whatever debt instruments, you think you own them. But you actually don’t own them. You have been you have been displaced, you’re no longer the owner, you are someone who is entitled to the benefits of this instrument, but you do not own it.
Instead, the ownership is now taken over by essentially these shell corporation organizations that enjoy special protections from the United States government. So when the system collapses, you will own nothing, which is exactly what the globalists are promising.
By the way, when the banks collapse, you will still owe the bank for your home your car business loan. They won’t wipe out your debts, but they will wipe out your assets. Technically, they will seize control over them, and you will become just a creditor to the bank. So if you have a million dollars in the bank, and you think you’re a millionaire, actually, they’re going to take the million dollars and leave you with nothing. But if you have a loan with the bank, you still have to make payments on those loans. So you will end up with no assets, but all your debts, and you will probably be bankrupt.
This is how they’re going to bankrupt people all across the country, which is why it’s called The Great Taking.
The importance of “off-grid” financial assets
This is a strategy that has been constructed by the financial empires to quite literally take possession of virtually all assets currently held by the people of the United States of America. And similar laws have been put in place around the world. So this is why it’s critical to have assets that I call off-grid assets, they need to exist outside the banking system. Number one, it’s critical to get out of debt if you can. I know that some people out there say that debt is your friend and that you should use that to become wealthy and the more debt you have, the more assets you control, and so on. I’ve heard those arguments. That’s not what I follow. You can, of course, decide what’s appropriate for you.
Perhaps if you’re in real estate, maybe debt is your friend when interest rates are low. But then again, debt can quickly become your enemy as rates go higher. But I don’t believe in debt. I’ve been debt-free for a long time. And I do not take loans. I do not ever want to be in debt. Because when you’re in debt, it means they have power over you and it means they can take assets back from you. What we’re finding out in this documentary, The Great Taking is that if you have a home that you ever had a loan on, or if you own a car that you ever had a loan on your title, the fact that it had a lien on it at one time or another may, under certain circumstances, allow the lenders to still claim your property as collateral during a collapse, which means that they could potentially, at least as I understand it, they could come take your house or take your car, even though you’ve paid it off. Because they could claim that it’s collateral on their books, and you are just a “security entitlement receiver,” that you don’t really own it, even though you’re paying it off.
This is what David Webb is describing, in part, in this documentary. Now, I know this is gonna sound completely shocking to most listeners here, especially those of you in finance and taxation and so on, you’re gonna say no, that’s, that’s impossible, that you might think I must be somehow missing the point on this or I’m reaching the wrong conclusion. Well, what I’m saying is, this is what David Webb is describing. And it does contradict normal, financial common sense. It violates all the rules of ownership that we know. But that’s the point of the documentary. David Webb explains that a new system has been put in place that violates all the normal rules of ownership, even in cases of fraud, if a financial institution commits fraud, and they lied, and they cheated, they can still claim your assets as theirs, under certain circumstances.
So watch that documentary to get full details. Of course, check with all your professionals. You know, your professional accountant, your professional real estate investment advisor, your professional Retirement Advisor, your professional dog walker, your professional, whatever, if you have all these professionals, ask all of them. But do your own research, because most people who are professionals in the realm of finance and taxation do not know about this. So do your research and make up your own mind. But what I’m saying is, as a precaution, minimize your exposure to the banking system. Get out of that.
Digital assets can vanish in an instant
I have always said that I do not trust assets held by other parties, where I log in, and they just show me you know, numbers on a screen. Oh, look, you have this many shares of this stock. Yeah, I don’t believe it. I mean, just because it’s on the screen, that doesn’t mean anything. What happens when your brokerage goes out of business? Well, David Webb just answered that question. When the brokerage goes under, they take all your assets, and you become a creditor.
So you thought you owned 1000 shares of Apple, let’s say, and in reality, you don’t. Because you don’t have the shares. They’re not in your possession and your name is not even on them. The brokerage, their name is on the ownership of the shares. They’re the ones who own them. And so when they become insolvent, and then all their assets have to be liquidated through the bankruptcy courts, you know, you might get pennies on the dollar at that point. So I don’t trust dollars in the bank. I don’t trust stocks with an online broker. I don’t trust even treasuries with the US Treasury, Treasury Direct. I don’t trust any of that stuff. You know what I trust? Well, you’ve heard me say it, time and time again, gold and silver and land. And more recently, goldbacks, as well as privacy, crypto, and other assets that hold value even when the system goes down.
Ammunition, garden seeds, diesel, fuel, power tools, things like that. Those are the things that I really trust. And those are the things that I want to have in my self custody or at least under my direct control. If I own gold, I want to take possession of the gold or at least know where it is, or have a way to get to it. I know that’s not a perfect circumstance for everybody. And depending on where you live, your gold might be safer in a vault somewhere. Or if you have a lot of silver, you might want to have it vaulted. Because silver’s kind of bulky and kind of heavy. That’s up to you. But for me, if the system goes down, I want to have direct control over these assets. And apparently, a lot of people agree with me because almost all those assets that I’ve been mentioning, have been going up in value in terms of dollar denominations. Gold has been trending up and silver and also land in many areas of the country.
Some cryptos are rapidly gaining in value
But I was also shocked to learn that one of the privacy cryptocurrencies that we’ve covered at Decentralize TV went up almost 1,000% And that currency is called Beam. I guess it was like two weeks ago or somewhere around that beam shot up from around I don’t know three cents per coin to something like almost 30 cents per coin. Now, it has settled quite a lot since then down to about 10 cents currently. I just checked and apparently I missed the whole thing. And I hold some amount of Beam by the way and I wasn’t paying attention. You know, I was focused on this AI project. But out of the blue, I happen to see Beam pricing. It was like whoa, that’s like 300% higher now than it was a month ago.
That interview by the way, if you want to check it out is on Decentralize.TV look for the interview with the founder of Beam. I like Monero, also, by the way, as a privacy crypto and Monero has gained value, and Bitcoin has gained a lot of value. It’s gone up from around $28,000 a few months ago to now $41,000. And why is that? Why is Bitcoin going up? Why is Monera going up? Why is Beam suddenly skyrocketing? I think it’s because more and more people are realizing the risks in the fiat currency financial system. I think people are dispersing their assets into more redundant vehicles.
People are buying gold and silver. People are buying ammunition. And people are buying privacy crypto, and some people are buying Bitcoin as well. By the way, we have last week, we interviewed Gene, one of the project leaders for Epic Cash. And that interview is coming out. I don’t know probably tomorrow, I think for decentralized TV. Either today or tomorrow, probably tomorrow. So you can check out that interview as well. But anyway, my point is, that people are trying to reduce their risk by getting out of assets that are controlled by the central authorities that David Webb was talking about in his documentary, anything that’s under the control of federal regulators, which includes the FDIC, which controls banking. Any of those banking assets, in my opinion, are at great risk of being confiscated during the debt reset, some people call it the great reset. Some people call it a debt collapse. I don’t know what you want to call it. But it’s pretty clear to me that there’s a day coming, when there will be a deliberate reset of the entire financial system. And in that reset, most of the assets of most Americans will be confiscated.
That’s what the globalists say, you will own nothing and be happy. Except you won’t be happy, you will own nothing. But you’ll be hopping mad because they will have stolen it from you. And you’ll wonder how did they do that? Well, this is how they’re doing it. This is the mechanism. They’ve created a legal mechanism that will stand up in court that you can’t challenge. When they flip the switch, and crater the banking system, we’re all going to lose everything in the bank. I’ve already surrendered to that idea, in a sense, because I have to have a certain amount of operating capital, obviously, you know, to run our platforms and meet payroll and purchase raw materials and whatever. All that money is going to vanish overnight. So I try to minimize that money. Of course, I try to have redundancy and resiliency and backup plans and stay out of debt and all these other things. But you need to be thinking about what happens when they pull the plug on this system.
The coming “cyber attack” narrative to explain away the debt reset
Now it’s possible they could blame it on a cyber attack. That would be a very convenient scapegoat. Blame it on China, blame it on Russia, blame it on aliens, who knows, blame it on hackers. Or even frankly, I think they could blame it on AI cyber attacks, doesn’t even have to be human anymore. They just say, well, an AI system got loose and it hacked all the banks. And now the AI took all your money. It wasn’t us it was the AI robots!
You know, they can say that. And if that showed up in the New York Times, and CNN, frankly, half the country would totally believe it. Oh, yeah, robots stole my money. No wonder I’m broke, you know! It’s also not all fiction. It could happen. But AI robots are probably not going to come to your house and take your gold. And if they tried, you could fight. You know, they’re gonna seize electronic assets. That’s what’s gonna go bye-bye. But everything that’s physical that’s under your control, well, that’s very hard for them to take from you.
And in my opinion, it’s the people who hold the gold that are going to be able to reboot society. They’re going to be the ones that own the future businesses that help launch new currencies. They’re going to be the ones that are position as the new leaders of the entire fiscal economy after the reboot, you’re gonna see millionaires and billionaires become penniless. And then you’re gonna see people who own gold and silver and land become billionaires, I think you’re gonna have a big switch, you know, trading places, it’s going to happen virtually overnight, because who knows how much gold is going to be worth in this collapse environment. I can’t even put a dollar figure on it because the dollar probably won’t exist. It’s, it’s infinite dollars if the dollar goes to zero, you know, division by zero.
So we can’t even properly describe what gold will be worth or silver or hard assets. But I can tell you that fiat currencies will be worth zero or near zero. And your claim on a bank that closed down even if you had a million dollars in the bank, and they they went bankrupt, your claim on that million dollars will be worth, you know, pennies on the dollar, it won’t be worth much at all. This is why I think it’s very much worth your time to look at hard assets.
President Vladimir Putin has said he was wrong to assume the West would establish productive relations with Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In reality, it was determined to break the nation apart, the Russian leader explained.
In an interview with Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin aired on Sunday, Putin admitted that he was a “naive” leader early in his political career even though he had a solid background in Soviet intelligence.
The Russian president said that he had believed that the West understood that Russia had become a completely different country after the collapse of the Soviet Union and that there were no further ideological differences warranting a serious stand-off.
According to Putin, even when he saw Western efforts to support terrorism and separatism in Russia two decades ago, he thought that it was the “inertia of thinking” that was to blame. “They had just got used to fighting the Soviet Union,” he believed.
In reality, however, the West was deliberately trying to undercut Russia, the president said. “After the collapse of the Soviet Union, they thought they just had to wait a little longer, and then they would break Russia apart as well.”
According to Putin, the West saw no need for the existence of the world’s largest country, with its large population. “It would be better, as suggested by… [former US National Security Advisor Zbigniew] Brzezinski, to divide it into five parts, and subjugate them one by one.”
This alleged Western plan, he explained, hinged on the premise that several smaller states “would have no weight or voice of their own, and would have no chance to defend their national interests in the way that the united Russian state has.”
The Russian leader was apparently referring to a 1997 article penned by Brzezinski, an ardent supporter of Soviet containment who died in 2017, which suggested at the time that Moscow should abandon “a futile effort to regain its status as a global power.” The former White House adviser also opined that “a loosely confederated Russia, composed of a European Russia, a Siberian Republic, and a Far Eastern Republic” would have an easier time fostering economic relations with its neighbors.
Putin has repeatedly said that the West was planning to split Russia into several states, warning that the Russian people could cease to exist if this happens, and naming its continued unity as the key condition for the country’s success.
… and What the Whistleblower Wanted to Warn Us About—a Tsunami of Health Issues
“Individuals who received COVID-19 vaccines, either mRNA, viral vector, or mixing and matching, were found to be more likely to be diagnosed with inflammatory musculoskeletal disorders compared to those who did not. Our results provide detailed information on the adverse reactions after COVID-19 vaccination. This information will be useful in clarifying adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines and educating people about the potential risk of inflammatory musculoskeletal disorders based on their vaccination status.”
December 5, 2023 This article is available as a PDF document.
The Korean National Health Insurance Service tabulates health data of the whole population, including vaccination status, which allows researchers to compare the ongoing health outcomes of the vaccinated with the unvaccinated.
Precisely the information our government is hiding from independent researchers and public scrutiny—comparative data, which we have been requesting they release.
Haematologic diseases are diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs. The researchers randomly selected half of the population of Seoul (around 4.2 million people) aged 20 and above and identified people who had received treatment for a range of blood disorders. They excluded people who had a history of blood disorders prior to the study period and then compared the rate of development of blood disorders among the vaccinated and unvaccinated over a three month period.
The researchers concluded:
“This study demonstrated the haematologic adverse events associated with COVID-19 vaccination using real-world data. The cumulative incidence rate of nutritional anaemia, aplastic anaemia, and coagulation defects significantly and constantly increased for 3 months after the COVID-19 vaccination compared to the non-vaccinated group.”
Aplastic anaemia is a rare but serious blood condition that occurs when your bone marrow cannot make enough new blood cells for your body to work normally. There is no known cure at this point in time.
Nutritional anaemia refers to anaemia that can be directly attributed to nutritional disorders or deficiencies. Examples include Iron deficiency anaemia and pernicious anaemia.
Coagulations disorders are conditions that affect the blood’s clotting activities. Haemophilia, Von Willebrand disease, clotting factor deficiencies, hypercoagulable states and deep venous thrombosis are all coagulations disorders.
The study compared these cumulative incidence rates of non-fatal conditions in the following areas:
Gynecological ( including endometriosis, and menstrual disorders [polymenorrhagia, menorrhagia, abnormal cycle length, oligomenorrhea, and amenorrhea]),
Haematological (including bruises confined to non-tender and yellow-coloured especially on extremities),
Dermatological (including herpes zoster, alopecia, and warts),
Ophthalmological (including visual impairment, and glaucoma),
Subjects with a history of these illnesses were excluded from the analysis.
The researchers concluded:
“The cumulative incidence rates of these conditions at three months following COVID-19 vaccination were significantly higher in vaccinated subjects than in non-vaccinated subjects, except for endometriosis.”
A third study of the same official Korean health data, which we have already reported, found a higher incidence of eight musculoskeletal conditions among the vaccinated when compared to the unvaccinated including:
Achilles tendinitis (pain in the back of the leg near the heel)
Bursitis (inflammation that increases friction between tissues in the body)
Rotator Cuff Syndrome (pain affecting the shoulder)
HIVD (upper back herniated disk),
Spondylosis (chronic neck wear and pain),
Adhesive Capsulitis (inflammation of the shoulder)
De-Quervain Tenosynovitis (wrist inflammation).
The researchers concluded:
“Individuals who received COVID-19 vaccines, either mRNA, viral vector, or mixing and matching, were found to be more likely to be diagnosed with inflammatory musculoskeletal disorders compared to those who did not. Our results provide detailed information on the adverse reactions after COVID-19 vaccination. This information will be useful in clarifying adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines and educating people about the potential risk of inflammatory musculoskeletal disorders based on their vaccination status.”
I don’t really need to explain much about these results do I? They speak for themselves. These studies analysed the rates of some specific health outcomes for millions of people following Covid vaccination. The researchers concluded that a very wide range of concerning health conditions are initiated over extended periods as a result of Covid vaccination.
Medsafe, the media, and the New Zealand government are telling us that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective, but they are not publishing any comparable data. A computer systems developer working at the Ministry of Health noticed that death rates among vaccinated populations were unusually high and blew the whistle. He has been arrested and charged with ‘dishonestly accessing health data’ (his job actually).
Who do you believe? The researchers in Korea who have published analyses of millions of post-vaccination health records officially made available by their government or our government who are still refusing to make health records available whilst insisting that COVID-19 vaccination is safe and effective?
In the words of rapper DertySesh (warning: a lot of words begin with ‘f’), who publishes provocative social commentary on X and is unafraid to say how he feels, ‘we don’t want bland reports from the media that someone has been arrested for vaccine disinformation, we want to know if the data he published is real or not?’ One of our data correspondents, Terry Anderson, sums it up as follows:
Terry picks just one week, number 25 of 2022 ending 19th June. In that week 858 people died (the 3rd highest of the year). The MoH tells us there were 61 Covid deaths in that week, made up of around 46 who died with Covid as the underlying cause and 15 where Covid contributed. That means at least 797 people died of something other than Covid. Over the previous five years from 2017 to 2021, an average of 701 people died. Even allowing for a small population increase (around 2%), excluding Covid there appear to be at least 82 excess unexplained deaths in this one June 2022 week alone, 12% above the long term average.
If 82 people died in a train accident the nation would agonise over it for years. Every effort would be made to make sure it never happened again. As we have discussed and documented repeatedly, it is not just one week, there has been an unexplained level of excess death occurring week in week out for three years, at least 6,500 New Zealand deaths in total since the vaccine rollout began. To put it in perspective, that is more than twice the 2,700 New Zealanders who died in Gallipoli, whose heroics and sacrifice we commemorate to this day. The whistleblower is right, excess deaths are completely and absolutely off the scale.
The Korean studies of official health data confirm the chief suspect: COVID-19 vaccination. You would think the newly elected government would be crawling all over the New Zealand health data, enlisting the help of those who are untainted by any association with the prior Covid policy formation and assessment, desperately trying to get to the bottom of what has happened and staunch the flow of injury and death.
In fact, our government, the Ministry of Health, and the media seem to be incapable of facing the facts. Through the arrest and public denouncement of a whistleblower, they have shown themselves to be cowards, afraid to face up to the consequences of past decisions. Unbelievably, they are continuing to push the COVID-19 vaccine on the population against all evidence.
A headline in the New York Times today reads “There Are Politicians Who Lie More Than Is Strictly Necessary”. Once found out, the cover-up begins and then one lie leads to another. Eventually, any erstwhile friend can be abandoned to save your skin. In our case, the health and longevity of New Zealanders has become a political pawn that is being sacrificed to save Parliament and civil servants from public humiliation and disgrace.
The actual effect of the government policy of continued heavy vaccine promotion in the face of concerning data on adverse effects is frightening. It has completely distorted public perceptions and understanding. We have ended up living in an illogical and untenable world governed by propaganda rather than fact.
I am shocked every day by the stories I hear. Just take this, for example, someone has had persistent health problems over months, including a cardiac event after their third booster. After a fourth jab, they couldn’t drag themselves out of bed for three weeks. So they went to see their doctor recently who advised them to get another Covid booster as soon as possible, which they did. Have people lost their minds? Our health service certainly appears to have.
Where do we go from here? The health outcomes reported in this article have, I am sure, been very concerning for readers. For our next report hosted by GLOBE.GLOBAL we will discuss research which points to some positive benefits of health interventions which may help alleviate some of the wide range of symptoms of COVID-19 vaccination adverse effects.

Military conflicts are not the result of random chance. Deliberate planning is involved.
It is instructive to look at what happened to Ukraine in 2014, around the coup supported by the US government and its Western allies. With the victory of Viktor Yanukovich in the presidential elections of 2010, the Rada (Ukrainian parliament) voted to drop NATO membership aspirations from the national security strategy. Perhaps precisely because of this, Yanukovich was unconstitutionally ousted.
Seeing the chaos of the Maidan and fearing the consequences, Moscow moved to reincorporate Crimea in March 2014, in order to both secure its military assets there and protect the ethnic Russian population from Kiev’s wrath. A referendum was held, and locals voted overwhelmingly to join the Russian Federation.
Writing for the American Conservative, foreign policy expert Dominick Sansone commented:
“The move into Crimea came as a response to secure Russia’s key naval interests in the warm-water port at Sevastopol. The coinciding uprisings in the Donbas were additionally a response to the situation in Kiev … The official position of the Kremlin has subsequently been that these ethnically Russian citizens should not be forced to live under the rule of an illegitimate rebel group that illegally came to power by overthrowing the duly elected government.”
“With regards to Ukraine,” wrote John Mearsheimer of Chicago University, an accomplished American political scientist and international relations scholar:
“It’s very important to understand that, up until 2014, we did not envision NATO expansion and E.U. expansion as a policy that was aimed at containing Russia. Nobody seriously thought that Russia was a threat before February 22, 2014. What happened is that this major crisis broke out, and we had to assign blame, and of course, we were never going to blame ourselves. We were going to blame the Russians so we invented this story that Russia was bent on aggression in Eastern Europe.”
The rationale for the creation of NATO was that it would be a defensive alliance to stop the former Soviet Union from invading Western Europe. However, when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, if its claims were truthful, this organization would have been dismantled, its purported purpose now moot. Instead, since the mid-1990s, successive US administrations have regularly pushed for NATO expansion in Eastern Europe.
The Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland joined the bloc in March 1999. Five years later, Bulgaria, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia also joined. Then, during an April 2008 summit in Bucharest, NATO considered admitting Georgia and Ukraine, which the Russians maintained would represent a “direct threat” to their national security.
Of course, Moscow reasonably saw this as a betrayal of a promise made by the US government and its allies on the collapse of the Berlin Wall, that NATO would never advance “an inch eastward.”
In this context, the present crisis in Ukraine is primarily the result of an attempt by the US government to pull another Eastern European country decisively into its orbit and defense structure, via NATO membership/partnership and an explicitly anti-Moscow EU association agreement.
Ukraine is now a “close partner” of NATO, which reports providing “unprecedented levels” of military support to its government.
To date, NATO member states have provided billions of dollars’ and euros’ worth of military equipment to Ukraine. They are sending weapons, ammunition, and many types of light and heavy military equipment, including anti-tank and anti-air systems, howitzers, and drones.
“Since 2014,” NATO’s official website states:
“NATO has helped to reform Ukraine’s armed forces and defence institutions, including with equipment and financial support. Allies have also provided training for tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops and Ukrainian forces have also developed their capabilities by participation in NATO exercises and operations.”
Under President Vladimir Zelensky, Kiev has enacted a series of laws aimed at ‘de-russification’. As a consequence, Russian books and even Russian music have been banned, and only books in Ukrainian, or “the indigenous languages of the European Union,” can be published in the country.
Zelensky is an acolyte of Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum (WEF), the organization behind the ‘Great Reset’. According to Leon Kushner, a writer who was raised by Holocaust survivors from Ukraine:
“Since 2014 oligarchs run it mob-style and chose the then actor Zelensky to be their presidential puppet. The WEF’s Klaus Schwab bragged about helping elect him and his equivalent Canadian puppet, Trudeau. Just about every rich and famous player has been to Ukraine. And came back with even more money. From Bill Gates to Joe Biden, from George Soros to the Clintons. They all know that Ukraine is open for business.”
Curiously, Australia’s total support for the Ukrainian government has now climbed to AU$790 million (US$520 million). This is the biggest contribution by a non-NATO nation, and more support than offered by some of the 32 bloc members.
The Biden administration in the US has sent hundreds of billions of dollars in military assistance to Ukraine already.
If the goal is to prevent bloodshed, well, this is not the way to do it.
If, as speculated by some, there exists an oligarchical plan of massive human depopulation, then engineered wars are an ideal way to achieve that. It has happened before. In the First World War, 21.5 million died, of which 13 million were civilians. The civilian deaths were largely caused by starvation, exposure, disease, military encounters, and massacres. In the Second World War, 40-50 million died, the largest of any war.
Currently, we are seeing the advanced stages of just this, as the US and its NATO allies have been maneuvering for many years for a world war with Russia. They yell that it is to protect ‘freedom and democracy’ as they extort the wealth of both the perceived victim and aggressor.
We need to wake up to these apocalyptic tactics of the Western oligarchs and resist all their efforts to impose their destructive objectives on us.
The West was determined to break Russia apart after the collapse of the Soviet Union, believing that multiple states based on the country’s ruins would be too weak to resist outside influence, President Vladimir Putin has said.
In an interview with Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin aired on Sunday, Putin admitted that he was a “naive” leader early in his political career even though he had a solid background in Soviet intelligence.
The Russian president said that he had believed that the West understood that Russia had become a completely different country after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and that there were no further ideological differences warranting a serious stand-off.
According to Putin, even when he saw Western efforts to support terrorism and separatism in Russia two decades ago, he thought that it was the “inertia of thinking” that was to blame. “They had just got used to fighting the Soviet Union,” he believed.
In reality, however, the West was deliberately trying to undercut Russia, the president said. “After the collapse of the Soviet Union they thought they just had to wait a little longer, and then they would break Russia apart as well.”
According to Putin, the West saw no need for the existence of the world’s largest country, with its large population. “It would be better, as suggested by… [former US National Security Advisor Zbigniew] Brzezinski, to divide it into five parts, and subjugate them one by one.”
This alleged Western plan, he explained, hinged on the premise that several smaller states “would have no weight or voice of their own, and would have no chance to defend their national interests in the way that the united Russian state has.”
The Russian leader was apparently referring to a 1997 article penned by Brzezinski, an ardent supporter of Soviet containment who died in 2017, which suggested at the time that Moscow should abandon “a futile effort to regain its status as a global power.” The former White House adviser also opined that “a loosely confederated Russia, composed of a European Russia, a Siberian Republic, and a Far Eastern Republic” would have an easier time fostering economic relations with its neighbors.
Putin has repeatedly said that the West was planning to split Russia into several states, warning that the Russian people could cease to exist if this happens, and naming its continued unity as the key condition for the country’s success.

“Without significant and sustained federal investments to make housing affordable for people with the lowest incomes, the affordable housing and homelessness crises in this country will only continue to worsen,” warned one campaigner.
On a single night in January 2023, “roughly 653,100 people—or about 20 of every 10,000 people in the United States—were experiencing homelessness,” with about 60% in shelters and the remaining 40% unsheltered, according to HUD. That’s a 12% increase from 2022 and the highest number of unhoused people since reporting began in 2007.
…HUD found that roughly 186,100 people who reported experiencing homelessness, or over a quarter, were part of a family with children, a 16% increase from last year. Additionally, more than 1 in 5 people were age 55 or older, 35,574 were veterans, and 31% “reported having experienced chronic patterns of homelessness.”
The number of people in shelters, temporary housing, and unsheltered settings across the United States set a new record this year, “largely due to a sharp rise in the number of people who became homeless for the first time.”
That’s a key takeaway from an annual report released Friday by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
On a single night in January 2023, “roughly 653,100 people—or about 20 of every 10,000 people in the United States—were experiencing homelessness,” with about 60% in shelters and the remaining 40% unsheltered, according to HUD. That’s a 12% increase from 2022 and the highest number of unhoused people since reporting began in 2007.
“We must address the main driver of homelessness and housing instability—the gap between low incomes and rent costs.”
Jeff Olivet, executive director of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness—the federal agency behind President Joe Biden’s plan from last year to reduce homelessness 25% by 2025—the Associated Press that extra assistance during the Covid-19 pandemic “held off the rise in homelessness that we are now seeing.”
“The historic resources and protections provided during the pandemic kept millions of renters stably housed, and the success of these resources is shown by the decrease in homelessness over that same period,” said National Low-Income Housing Coalition president and CEO Diane Yentel. “Just as these emergency resources were depleted and pandemic-era renter protections expired, however, renters reentered a brutal housing market, with skyrocketing rents and high inflation.”
“Eviction filing rates have now reached or surpassed pre-pandemic averages in many communities, resulting in increased homelessness,” she noted. “Without significant and sustained federal investments to make housing affordable for people with the lowest incomes, the affordable housing and homelessness crises in this country will only continue to worsen.”

Olivet said that “while numerous factors drive homelessness, the most significant causes are the shortage of affordable homes and the high cost of housing that have left many Americans living paycheck to paycheck and one crisis away from homelessness.”
National Alliance to End Homelessness CEO Ann Oliva called for funding “urgent and overdue investments in affordable housing and rental assistance to keep people housed, as well as in proven housing and supportive service models that rapidly reconnect people experiencing homelessness with permanent housing.”
Peggy Bailey, vice president for housing and income security at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, also stressed the need for a funding boost, saying that “we have the tools to ensure everyone has a safe, stable place to live, but we’ve failed to invest in them.”
“Homelessness is unacceptable,” Bailey declared. “We must address the main driver of homelessness and housing instability—the gap between low incomes and rent costs. That means expanding rental assistance for all people with the lowest incomes.”

HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge similarly said Friday that “homelessness is solvable and should not exist in the United States.”
“From day one, this administration has put forth a comprehensive plan to tackle homelessness and we’ve acted aggressively and in conjunction with our federal, state, and local partners to address this challenge,” she continued. “We’ve made positive strides, but there is still more work to be done. This data underscores the urgent need for support for proven solutions and strategies that help people quickly exit homelessness and that prevent homelessness in the first place.”
Academics and advocates have long criticized the department’s approach, which relies on reporting from a single night each January. Samuel Carlson, manager of research and outreach at the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, told The Washington Post last year that “the HUD data is just catching a fraction of the people.”
For that night in January, HUD found that roughly 186,100 people who reported experiencing homelessness, or over a quarter, were part of a family with children, a 16% increase from last year. Additionally, more than 1 in 5 people were age 55 or older, 35,574 were veterans, and 31% “reported having experienced chronic patterns of homelessness.”
“People who identify as Black, African American, or African, as well as Indigenous people (including Native Americans and Pacific Islanders), continue to be overrepresented among the population experiencing homelessness,” the report notes. “People who identify as Asian or Asian American experienced the greatest percentage increase among all people experiencing homelessness,” while the largest numerical increase “was among people who identify as Hispanic or Latin(a)(o)(x).”
The report adds that over half “were in four states: California (28% of all people experiencing homelessness in the U.S, or 181,399 people); New York (16% or 103,200 people); Florida (5% or 30,756 people); and Washington (4% or 28,036 people).”
While progressive lawmakers have introduced federal legislation to help tackle the issue—from Congresswoman Cori Bush’s (D-Mo.) Unhoused Bill of Rights to the Housing is a Human Right Act led by Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and Grace Meng (D-N.Y.)—such measures are unlikely to advance with a GOP-controlled House and divided Senate.
In the fall of 2021, Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen shocked the world by exposing just how much harm the company has inflicted on young users—and the fact that the company knew every last detail about it. After years of calls across the aisle to rein in Big Tech, the revelations in the “Facebook Files” felt like the perfect catalyst to get the ball rolling on tech reform in Congress. Haugen’s bravery came just a year after the FTC launched its 2020 antitrust suit against Facebook, and coincided with a historic push in Congress to pass tech antitrust legislation. In an environment like this, it’s easy to see why Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) declared that ‘this time feels distinctly different’: that the time for Congress to clamp down on Big Tech had finally come.
Unfortunately, two years later, it’s self-evident that the company now known as Meta is as harmful and unaccountable as ever. Facebook’s status as a modern-day monopoly allowed the company to withstand public outcry, and the tech giants’ all-out war against antitrust legislation in 2022 killed the bills in the 117th Congress. Fantastical notions that markets would force Facebook to change, popular during Meta’s stock slump in 2022, look even more absurd amid Meta’s stock turnout this year. Critical reporting on Meta’s harmful influence, such as The Wall Street Journal’s horrifying exposé this summer on Instagram’s role in enabling pedophiles, has received scant attention compared to Haugen’s revelations.
Make no mistake: Without action in Congress, Meta and the other tech giants’ ongoing war on accountability will continue.
As Haugen acknowledged in a recent op-ed, Meta and the other tech giants are still wielding their lobbying might to crush accountability measures across the country. In other words, even as Meta feigns support for accountability measures, ‘self-regulation’ won’t and cannot stop the company’s corrosive impact. To stop Facebook from exploiting children, stealing users’ data, and destroying global democracy, Congress needs to cut to the central issue at hand: Facebook’s monopolistic dominance, which enables the company to commit harm with impunity.
Over the past year, lawmakers looking to rein in Big Tech have largely set their sights on specific policy areas, be it child online safety or artificial intelligence (AI). To be sure, there’s no doubt that these issues and other specific tech policy matters deserve proper attention in their own right. But it’s crucial that the heart of the problem—the fact that Meta and other Big Tech companies’ monopoly power give them free reign to continue their destructive behavior—is not lost on Congress.
And make no mistake: Without action in Congress, Meta and the other tech giants’ ongoing war on accountability will continue. Two years ago, Meta demanded that FTC chair Lina Khan, a noted Big Tech critic, recuse herself from scrutiny of the company over frivolous conflict of interest accusations. Armed with virtually unlimited financial resources at their disposal, Meta and its team of lawyers have only intensified their war against the administrative state.
Amid a separate legal battle with the FTC over child privacy, Meta has gone as far as to target the FTC’s very constitutional authority. At a time when right-wing activists are working to weaponize the justice system in favor of corporate interests, this development should be welcomed with grave concern. As Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) noted, these ludicrous demands from Meta are akin to “Big Tobacco trying to gut the FDA because they didn’t want to be held accountable for hooking kids onto nicotine.”
Contrary to naysayers, the movement to break up Big Tech monopolies is anythingbutdead. Rapid developments in AI over the past year have raised widespread concerns that Big Tech giants will leverage control of the technologies to entrench their monopolies. As Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), a top proponent of the tech antitrust bills last session recently acknowledged, the rise of AI makes the cause of reining in Big Tech perhaps more relevant than ever. Recent polling has affirmed that Americans are still eager to rein in tech giants’ monopoly power, with a historic September survey finding strong support for AI anti-monopoly measures. Between the Meta’s aggressive push into AI to its apparent hands-off approach to dangerous deepfake content ahead of the 2024 election, it’s more important than ever to rein in Facebook. Lawmakers should stand with the FTC as it pursues its historic antitrust case against Meta, and vigorously fight any efforts by tech-friendly members of Congress to gut the agency’s funding. Moreover, Congress should finish the work it started last session by passing the reintroduced American Innovation and Choice Act (AICO) to clamp down on Meta and other tech giants’ monopolistic abuses.

Homelessness has risen sharply in the United States, with a report from House and Urban Development (HUD) indicating that around 653,000 people were homeless, the highest number on record.
Inflation combined with the end of pandemic-era protections against eviction were the key culprits identified in the HUD report, released on Dec. 15. Another major factor noted in the report was the housing supply crunch.
HUD’s annual 2023 Point-in-Time Count, which measured homelessness on a single night in January 2023, showed a 12 percent rise in homelessness (or by 70,650 individuals) compared to a year earlier. This sent the total to 653,104 homeless people, the highest since the agency launched the point-in-time gauge in 2007.
“For those on the frontlines of this crisis, it’s not surprising. People across the country are struggling to pay skyrocketing rents,” Ann Olivia, CEO of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, said in a statement.
The sharpest rise in homelessness was among people in families with children—this measure rose by 15.5 percent. Next was homelessness among unaccompanied youths, which increased by 15.3 percent.
Former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, who is running for the U.S. Senate, blamed President Joe Biden’s policies for fueling homelessness.
“There are quite a few nations that would like to join the BRICS, more than twenty. This is not counting the countries that have officially announced their readiness to join the association on January 1, 2024. I do not know any international structure or organization where the membership growth had taken place at such a rate.
Many countries from all over the world signal their interest in rapprochement with BRICS all the way up to full-scale membership, Sergey Ryabkov said
MOSCOW, December 15. /TASS/. Over 20 states would like to join the BRICS, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said in an interview for the International Affairs magazine.
The Deputy Foreign Minister pointed out the issue that arose before Russia “at full height ahead of the beginning of the Russian presidency in the association.”
“I refer to the implementation of the leaders’ order to develop a category of so-called partner states. Many countries from all over the world signal their interest in rapprochement with BRICS all the way up to full-scale membership. This must be worked through in a constructive key,” he added.
“There are quite a few nations that would like to join the BRICS, more than twenty. This is not counting the countries that have officially announced their readiness to join the association on January 1, 2024. I do not know any international structure or organization where the membership growth had taken place at such a rate. There is currently no experience of operation of the expanded BRICS. These are the issues that must be resolved during Russia’s chairmanship period,” the diplomat said.
Ryabkov also noted that an entire series of events is planned in addition to the BRICS Summit in Kazan, including ministerial meetings and the BRICS games.
“The Russian presidency intends to show Murmansk, Vladivostok, Yekaterinburg and many other things to the BRICS,” he added.
During the August 22-24 BRICS Summit in Johannesburg, the member states agreed to expand the organization’s membership by admitting Argentina, Egypt, Iran, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia starting on January 1, 2024. A new list of potential member states will be prepared for the next summit.
