If they can grow poppies, they can grow food. The US looked the other way in Afghanistan.

The so-called “Convention of States” (COS) organization claims to have massive grassroots support for an Article V Convention.  However, there is considerable evidence that their alleged support is faked:

• This Phony Petitions & Polls flyer tells of how, during 2018, two Idaho Legislators reported that the COS Petitions they received were digitally “signed” by some constituents who, when contacted, said they never signed.  Representative Priscilla Giddings (R) called this practice “hi-tech fraud”.  Representative Dorothy Moon (R) called it “dirty tricks”.   Moreover, COS apparently accumulates signatures for life (or longer).  In 2016, a South Dakota State Senator received a COS petition from his dead neighbor!
• In this interview with Alex Newman of JBS, Representative Pepper Ottman (R) of Wyoming tells of how earlier this year she received hundreds of emails from alleged supporters of SJR11 (the “COS” application for a convention).  Since the names and addresses of [alleged] senders were provided, she contacted the alleged senders and they said they didn’t send the emails!
• In this interview with Christian Gomez of JBS, Representative Sarah Penn (R), also of Wyoming, also recounts of how she received emails in support of SJR 11 from “constituents” – but when she contacted them, they responded with comments such as, “I don’t know what this is  – I didn’t send it – what is COS?”  
• And in Christian Gomez’ recent interview withRepresentative Helena Hayes (R) of Iowa, Representative Hayes speaks of COS’s practice of character assassination of individuals and of organizations who oppose COS. 

Furthermore, the character assassination described by Representative Hayes is a continuing and long-standing practice of COS:  See Convention of States Project vies for four Pinocchios at subpoint 6. Smear Tactics.

Ed Dowd was a money manager on Wall Street and is still a skillful number cruncher.  He worked for Black Rock and made billions of dollars in profits by being right on the data.  Now, Dowd has turned his skills toward the numbers of deaths and serious injuries surrounding the CV19 bioweapon vax.  He sees a very dark and disturbing future taking shape.  Dowd explains, “We did our vaccine damage report after months and months of collecting data.  There are three buckets.  There are the dead, disabled and injured.  The dead is easy enough to find . . . it’s excess mortality.  In 2021 and 2022, it’s over 300,000 deaths, and that’s probably on the low side.  There are 1.36 million disabled from the vax, and that is a conservative number.  Finally, 26.6 million people are injured. . . . Anecdotally , it is all making sense.  Everyone is reporting coworkers that are chronically ill and sick.  The worktime data is really the smoking gun.  It went 13 standard deviations above the 20-year trendline in 2022. . . . It went up in 2020, and then it went up again in 2021, but it exploded in 2022 well after the virus and well into the CV19 vaccine program.  It is a stunning a 13 standard deviation event.  It is a ‘Black Swan’ event.   This affects 10 percent of the total population, but 30% of the labor force.  There is about 100 million to 110 million in the labor force.  With the injured, disabled and the dead, it’s about 28.9 million.  That’s about 30% of the labor force that has died, been disabled or is chronically sick.  This is going to have huge implications on productivity going forward.”

On the U.S. dollar, Dowd says it’s not going down in the near term.  Dowd contends, “We are predicting deflation, which will be good for the dollar.  It’s pretty much bad for every other asset class.”

On the ongoing banking crisis, Dowd says, “The regional bank stocks are getting slaughtered.  When you raise interest rates 500 basis points or 5% in a little over 12 months after a 14-year 0% interest rate regime, you are going to leave tremendous skid marks, and the skid marks are the regional banks, unfortunately, because they have a lot of commercial real estate.  This is not the end of the crisis, it is the beginning.”

Dowd see’s a “deep recession” coming soon.  He also says it is going to be at least as bad as the savings and loan crisis in the early 1990s, but he says all bets are off if the Fed loses control of the economy.  That, too, is a good possibility.

The graphs paint the same picture. Also note that most of these bank stocks are falling after the close of the market. I believe we will be waking up to some very bad news in the morning.

Yes, you read the headline correctly.  Collectively, the three big banks that have collapsed in 2023 had more assets than all 25 banks that collapsed in 2008 did.  Unfortunately, the banking collapse of 2023 is far from over.  We still have eight more months to go before this year is done, and many more banks are currently teetering on the brink of disaster.  Executives at those banks are telling us not to worry, but of course executives at First Republic were issuing similar assurances just last week.  Personally, I had heard that First Republic supposedly had enough reserves to keep going for months.  But that was a lie, and now First Republic is toast.  The following comes from the official statement that the FDIC issued when it took over the bank…

First Republic Bank, San Francisco, California, was closed today by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver. To protect depositors, the FDIC is entering into a purchase and assumption agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Columbus, Ohio, to assume all of the deposits and substantially all of the assets of First Republic Bank.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association submitted a bid for all of First Republic Bank’s deposits. As part of the transaction, First Republic Bank’s 84 offices in eight states will reopen as branches of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, today during normal business hours. All depositors of First Republic Bank will become depositors of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, and will have full access to all of their deposits.

The government was not going to allow just anyone to snap up the assets of First Republic.

JPMorgan Chase was one of the institutions that was invited to make a bid, and they came out of this process as the big winners.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave his most full-throated support for aiding Ukraine in its war against the Russian invasion, in a heated exchange with a Russian news agency reporter in Jerusalem.

McCarthy has in the past called for further scrutiny of aid to Ukraine, responding in part to far-right members of the GOP who have been critical of US aiding Kyiv. Former President Donald Trump, the frontrunner to be the Republican nominee again in 2024, has also made critical comments about the US effort to defend Ukraine.

The speaker, on a trip to Israel was asked by a reporter from a Russian news agency if the US will curtail aid to Ukraine.

“I vote for aid for Ukraine, I support aid for Ukraine,” McCarthy said. “I do not support what your country has done to Ukraine, I do not support your killing of the children either.”

“You should pull out and I don’t think it’s right,” the speaker said. “We will continue to support. And I think the rest of the world sees it just as it is.”

If the Republic was overthrown in 2020 with voter fraud and the installation of an illegal pResident, is it treason to support this government? Or is it just a convenient lie perpetrated on the people who want to believe that they are free?

Since the people still have not accepted the United States involvement in funding and supporting the SARS-COV2 pandemic, they continue to lie. The banking crisis, employment rate, de-dollarization and the proxy war in Ukraine are all misrepresented and suppressed by the government and media propaganda outlets. Just because a traitor has an “R” after his name does not lessen his culpability in the destruction of our nation.

A drone strike on the Kremlin from Ukraine just does not sound right. This might be a false flag but there seems to be better false flags than this available to Russia. I also doubt that a drone attack on the Kremlin could be considered an assassination attempt on Putin even if he was there.

Keep you eyes open as we are now in the end game of the war for a new world order.

The State Department grant said it is aimed at teaching English language skills to Pakistani youth so they can “better participate in the global community and prepare them for success in the workplace.” The grant aims to reach that goal by focusing on three components: “(1) Professional Development for English Language Teachers from Non-Mainstream Institutions; (2) Professional Development for novice Pakistani English language teachers; and (3) Professional Development for Transgender Youth and for Afghan Teachers, Students, and Young Professionals Residing in Pakistan.”

The Biden administration is offering a $500,000 grant to help teach the English language in Pakistan, in part by providing “intensive professional development courses for Pakistani transgender youth.”

Islamic challenges to Pakistan’s transgender rights law

Pakistan broke ground in 2018 with its legislation of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act. This legislation was cutting-edge within South Asia and globally with the Act’s declaration that gender identity inheres in the individual. The Act broadly defines a ‘transgender person’ to include intersex persons, khwaja siras (an Islamicate gender), and also ‘any person whose gender identity or gender expression differs from the social norms and cultural expectations based on the sex they were assigned at the time of their birth.’ Moreover, the Act goes on to declare that ‘[a] transgender person shall have a right to be recognized as per his or her self-perceived gender identity.’

This was definitely more information than I wanted to know this morning. I would have thought a “third gender” in Islam would be sacrilegious but it seems to be an accepted part of Pakistani cultural norms. So why do they need our tax dollars to aid sexual immorality in another country? I suppose the real question is why our tax dollars are used to aid sexual immorality in our country.

Not only do I have no words for this, THERE ARE NO WORDS FOR THIS. If you have to go to the hospital for any reason, please carefully consider where your insurance money (or your own cash, if you are uninsured) goes. I wonder if these same hospitals also prescribed Remdesivir to “treat” covid.
