Russia is playing a high-stakes game in the mounting crisis in Venezuela, where socialist President Nicolas Maduro has been mortgaging part of the country’s oil resources in exchange for financial and military support from Moscow.

Latin America is far from Russia, and Venezuela is impoverished, surrounded by hostile neighbors and squarely in the crosshairs of the Trump administration. But for a variety of reasons, the government of President Vladimir Putin sees in Caracas an ally worth cultivating.   Continue reading “Putin taunts Trump: 400 Russian military contractors sent to Venezuela in support of Maduro”

Benjamin Netanyahu has launched his own TV channel to bypass mainstream media and ensure positive coverage ahead of the upcoming General Election. “Likud TV” was launched yesterday on the Israeli Prime Minister’s official Facebook page and will air every evening at 19:00 local time (17:00 GMT) until the election on 9 April. Sporting the slogan “we’re throwing the ‘fake’ out of the news,” the channel has been interpreted as a bid by Netanyahu to bypass traditional media outlets which he claims have engaged in a coordinated attack against him.   Continue reading “Netanyahu launches own TV channel to bypass mainstream media”

Lubbock, TX — If ever you were in doubt about the special privilege awarded to those who are members of government or the corporate oligarchy, one need only look at the following two cases. While often times, the “justice” system will grant special privileges to those connected to it, it can also be used to severely punish those who dare cause injury to one of the connected.

Hernandez showed the officer that the light on his bicycle stopped working but this was not enough.  Continue reading “Man Sentenced to 30 Years for Biting Police Officer, As Child Rapist Cop Gets Probation”

The Great Recession

Here is a single chart that proves how completely the Fed’s end-game for its recovery failed, which means the fake recovery, itself, is failing. It’s not hard to figure out what happened here.

Talk about a euphoric rise at the end of the Trump Rally heading into 2018, followed immediately by a massive blow-off top. When you compare the size of the blow-off to the total size of the S&P 500, it looks almost like Mount Saint Helens blew its top off.   Continue reading “The Fed’s Failure is a Fait Accompli, Exactly as This Blog Said it Would be!”

There have been a lot of things going on lately. The massive demonstrations in support to our Constitutional president Juan Guaido have unchained a LOT of repression and retaliation by those trying to avoid the dismemberment of the last stronghold of the Maduro and Castro gangs.

This is inevitable though. The suffering has been unbelievable and the cost in human lives, too high for those responsible to achieve some kind of agreement.   Continue reading “The Truth About What’s Happening In Venezuela Right Now Is NOT What the Media Is Reporting”

We’ve all heard the expression: “Green on the outside, pink on the inside.” It refers to phony environmentalists who use a pretended concern for nature, wildlife, and the environment as an excuse to destroy freedom and national sovereignty, wreck the economy, and enslave all of us. Unfortunately, many so-called “environmentalists” are indeed watermelons…thinly disguised communists.    Continue reading “The ‘Green Nazi’s’ Plans For America: The Herding Of ‘The Masses’ Into Concentration-Camp-Like ‘Human Access Zones’ Is Spelled Out In The UN’s Agendas”

Over the past few months, my husband and I have kept an eye on the store shelves in our area. We don’t shop daily or even weekly, but the trend of increasingly bare shelves has been incredibly disturbing. This made me curious as to what others have been experiencing. As a member of various online prepping communities, I see a lot of conversations and concerns, but one thing that has stood out to me is the amazing number of people chiming in to report sparse or bare shelves or just not being able to find a specific item they like.   Continue reading “Why Are We Seeing So Many Bare Shelves at Grocery Stores Across the Country?”

HOUSTON/MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – A flotilla loaded with about 7 million barrels of Venezuelan oil has formed in the Gulf of Mexico, some holding cargoes bought ahead of the latest U.S. sanctions on Venezuela and others whose buyers are weighing who to pay, according to traders, shippers and Refinitiv Eikon data.

The Trump administration’s move to impose sanctions last week was meant to undercut support for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by targeting the Latin American nation’s oil exports to the United States, the source of most of its foreign revenue.  Continue reading “Armada of tankers with Venezuelan oil forms in U.S. Gulf: sources, data”

PITTSBURGH (AP) — In the world of autonomous vehicles, Pittsburgh and Silicon Valley are bustling hubs of development and testing. But ask those involved in self-driving vehicles when we might actually see them carrying passengers in every city, and you’ll get an almost universal answer: Not anytime soon.

An optimistic assessment is 10 years. Many others say decades as researchers try to conquer a number of obstacles. The vehicles themselves will debut in limited, well-mapped areas within cities and spread outward.  Continue reading “5 reasons why autonomous cars aren’t coming anytime soon”
