"What If the “Big Lie” Is the Big Lie?"

"What If the “Big Lie” Is the Big Lie?"
by Jim Kunstler

"Maybe now that Dr. Tony Fauci has begun to spill the beans on his doings in service to the Wuhan virology lab, the phrase “conspiracy theory,” flogged by the media as jauntily and incessantly as by the soviet kommissars of yore, will have worn out its welcome.

In a sane polity, Dr. Fauci would be cooked. He looks circumstantially like an epic villain of history, who promoted and funded dangerous research activities knowingly, which led to an international disaster that killed millions of people and destroyed countless livelihoods and households, perhaps even the whole global economy, when all is said and done — and he appears to have lied at every step along the way.

As a practical matter, what is the “Joe Biden” admin going to do about him? Throw him under the bus? I don’t think they can at this point. Dr. Fauci has come to represent not just the falsehoods employed around the Covid-19 fiasco but more generally the long campaign against truth itself by a grossly illiberal Jacobin Democratic Party seemingly out to punish and destroy Western Civ.

Whether the Covid-19 pandemic was an overt tactic in that campaign, or just the result of Dr. Fauci’s catastrophic bad judgment, remains to be revealed. But at least half the country will conclude that there’s some connection between the terrible losses suffered in the pandemic year and the political bullshit they were force-fed in the four-year effort to defenestrate Donald Trump. All Joe Biden’s handlers can do now is fade Dr. Fauci out, keep him off the cable channels, and hope the public can be distracted with some new nonsense. You also have good reason to doubt that Merrick Garland will do anything but look the other way and whistle.

The downfall of Dr. Fauci is a watershed moment. There were so many more authorities caught lying over the past five years, but who got off scot-free — Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, James Comey (actually, the whole FBI and DOJ E-suites), John Brennan, James Clapper, Robert Mueller, Andrew Weissman, Adam Schiff, and the editors and producers of the news media, plus the execs of social media — who not only disabled the truth at every opportunity, but just about destroyed the public’s grip on reality.

The result has been an utter collapse of authority in this land, so that now nobody who runs anything is credible, from the current pitiful president of the USA, to most elected and appointed officials, judges, corporate CEOs, college deans and presidents, and now “The Science” itself. Just remember: there is still a sizable faction in America of people who are deeply interested in ascertaining the truth about a lot of things. They are aiming to get at it, too, for example, the truth about the 2020 election. Maybe now you can begin to see why this is important.

Yet the cable news channels were really at it last night (Thursday) with Erin Burnett and Anderson Cooper of CNN, and the slippery crew at MSNBC, strenuously assailing the Arizona election audit with their usual battery of opprobrious slogans: it’s a “conspiracy theory,” “baseless,” a “Big Lie.” Is it perhaps more likely now that their Big Lie is the Big Lie? It looks like we are going to find out. And perhaps not just in Arizona, because other states are warming to the audit idea.

“Joe Biden’s” DOJ may yet try to quash the AZ audit. But one subsidiary truth to be gleaned in all this is that the audit is solely a state prerogative as a constitutional matter and if the DOJ tries to lay some horseshit ruse about “civil rights” on the operation, they’ll end up with their pants on fire, maybe even an official nullification of federal action. Sound a little civil war-ish?

So, we can see that the disclosures over Dr. Fauci’s role in the origins of Covid-19 and the potential discovery of 2020 election fraud are converging toward a deep constitutional crisis this summer. If a growing number of Americans come to believe that the pandemic was a number run on them by the authorities, they may be more disposed to going forward with election audits in several states. And what happens if solid evidence is discovered and fraud is proven? Whu-oh…! Does the country perhaps have to call a re-do of the election, this time without mail-in ballots and with a more serious effort to substantiate the votes? That’s a tall order. Or does “Joe Biden” just keep ridin’ out for ice cream cones? Geopolitics may determine that. Can the nation afford to keep such a weak and illegitimate regime in power?

I’ll tell you something that could happen: “Joe Biden” (his handlers and their factotums, anyway) may try something else, another ruse to distract the public’s attention from a constitutional crisis: how about crashing the financial markets? That would do the trick, I’m sure. In fact, it looks like the Federal Reserve is already tuning that frequency in by announcing it’s “tapering” its bond buying activities, starting with corporate “junk” bonds. You know what will happen if they ramp up tapering of more bond purchases (currently around $120-billion-a-month)? Interest rates will rise — because who else will buy that paper at near-zero interest rates? (And, by the way, Russia just announced it’s about to sell off all its sovereign holdings in US dollars). And when interest rates rise quickly, Wall Street’s current business model goes south. Wait for that!"

"As Police Brace For A 'Summer Of Violence', Murder Rates Are Absolutely Exploding All Over America"

"As Police Brace For A 'Summer Of Violence', 
Murder Rates Are Absolutely Exploding All Over America"
by Michael Snyder

"It appears that the violence in major U.S. cities is about to escalate even further. Summer is usually the worst season for violent crime in America, and authorities are openly warning us that a “summer of violence” is approaching. But at this point it is difficult to imagine things getting worse because we are already in the midst of a horrific crime wave. According to the New York Times, homicide rates were up by an average of “more than 30 percent” in 2020, and on average they are up “another 24 percent” so far in 2021. Never before in U.S. history have we seen homicide rates rise so quickly on a nationwide basis.

Sadly, it appears that George Floyd’s tragic death was the spark that set off this crime wave. If you doubt this, just check out these numbers from Chicago… "The year before Mr. Floyd’s death — from May 25, 2019, to May 25, 2020 — there were 2,885 shootings in Chicago that resulted in 521 deaths. From May 25, 2020, to May 25, 2021, there were 818 deaths from 4,562 shootings, an increase of almost 60 percent in both categories, according to Christopher Herrmann, a professor of law and police science at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice."

You would think that things would settle down after a while, but homicide rates all over the nation have surged even higher here in 2021. For example, the homicide rate in Houston is up 27 percent so far in 2021… "On Friday, the city had a total of 178 homicides for 2021, according to HPD. That number is a 27% increase from 2020. Now, with 10 more so far this weekend, the number is on the brink of 190. “It’s not going to get better anytime soon,” said Mike Knox, Houston City Council Member and Vice-Chair of the council committee."

In other large cities, things are even worse. In Los Angeles County, the homicide rate has risen more than 95 percent up to this point in the year… "LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has bad news about crime. “So, for crime statistics, we don’t have good news – unfortunately. We’re looking at a 95.24% increase in homicides. That is comparing the same time frame this year to that time frame in 2020.” Villanueva says many other types of violent crimes are also up, including aggravated assault up 13% and grand theft auto up 40%. Sheriff Villanueva accuses the Board of Supervisors of not addressing the issue and called it an ‘existential threat’.

In New York City, subway riders are increasingly becoming targets of violent crime. In some cases the criminals are after money, but in other cases there doesn’t seem to be any particular motive for the attacks. Overall, the number of transit-related crimes that were reported in one recent week was more than twice as high as the number reported in the same week last year… "Citywide statistics show that subway crimes are occurring drastically more frequent this year than they were in 2020. Fifty-five transit-related crimes were reported in the past week alone – compared with just 21 in the same period last year, according to NYPD CompStat." For the first time in decades, many New Yorkers are afraid to ride the subway, and that isn’t going to change for the foreseeable future.

In other parts of the country, Uber drivers have become prime targets for criminal predators. Criminals know that Uber drivers are almost certainly not going to be armed, and they are often driving very nice vehicles. So we have seen an epidemic of Uber drivers getting carjacked, and in some instances they are even being murdered… "FOX 32 obtained Ring doorbell video that captures four males with hoods up approaching a blue Ford four-door car. One male gets in the back. Inside, there was a struggle with Uber driver 38-year old Joe Schelstraete from Indiana. The video shows a suspect open the door, but it stops right as the father of three was shot in the head."

Before all of this craziness started, being a driver for Uber or Lyft was a way to make some decent money on the side, but now I am recommending that all of my readers avoid this kind of work from now on. A little bit of extra money is not worth the potential risk.

These days, even kids are turning into violent criminals. In fact, two kids just got into a terrifying gun battle with police in Florida…"A 14-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy fled from a Florida juvenile home and broke into a house, where they found a small arsenal — a shotgun, an AK-47 and plenty of ammunition. When confronted by sheriff’s deputies, the pair opened fire, sparking a gunbattle. The gunfire ceased only after deputies wounded the girl, who was in critical but stable condition Wednesday, a day after the violence unfolded near Deltona, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) northeast of Orlando. The boy then surrendered."

The thin veneer of civilization that we all take for granted on a daily basis is steadily disappearing, and we have entered a time when cities across the nation are descending into chaos. When I look around, I don’t even recognize the country anymore. Millions of our young people have seemingly gone completely nuts, but of course this is a direct result of how we have raised them. I wish that I could offer you some hope that things will turn around, but as one of the officials that I quoted above openly admitted, “it’s not going to get better anytime soon”.

"How Are Those Face Masks Working Out for You?"

"How Are Those Face Masks Working Out for You?"
by Bill Bonner

YOUGHAL, IRELAND – "Talk about transformations! The whole of U.S. society is being zombified… turning into a slouching wreck… with a hollow-headed, self-serving elite at the top – enriched and corrupted by three decades of stimmy money and fake interest rates… and the masses below, rendered nearly brain-dead by social media, TV, fake news, fake money, stimmy checks, and fraudulent politics.

Zombie Shuffle: And look at this… Remember how airline travel was transformed in the early 2000s? We recall from the 1980s and 1990s that taking a flight was a pleasant adventure back then. We even looked forward to it. Suspected terrorists might occasionally be stopped and searched. Everyone else got on board like civilized people… saying goodbye to their friends at the gate. And mostly, we arrived at our destinations in one piece.

Now, everyone is considered a threat. We’ve taken hundreds of flights over the past 20 years. And we’ve been x-rayed and frisked many times. But not once did we intend to blow up a plane. Sure, once or twice, we considered hijacking a plane to take us to Cuba – who hasn’t? – but never did we pose any real threat to commercial airline traffic. As far as we know, there are no more people today who want to blow themselves up in the business section than there were in the 1980s. Yet, like zombies, we all shuffle through “security,” removing belts and shoes… emptying pockets… obeying shouted orders – all to prove that we are innocent of a crime we’ve never even contemplated.

Doctor’s Orders: Back then, it was the fear of terrorism that led to the transformation. Now, it’s the fear of a virus. Sick people used to be told to stay in bed. “Doctor’s orders,” they told their employers. Now, the doctors are giving orders to healthy people, too.

Doctors used to make suggestions. Perhaps you should give up smoking… or maybe lose weight. But now – backed by armed police – they insist. They tell us when we can go outside… when we have to cover our faces, like bank robbers… and when we need to close the schools, the churches, and the shopping malls. And without their approval – their passepartout vaccine – they and their “follow the science” politicians threaten to block you from going to the theater… entering a public building… flying on a commercial airline… or crossing a border!

Public Policy: Note that we’re talking about public policy, not private policy. If you don’t want to get a communicable disease, there is no mystery. Get a vaccine. Go to an uninhabited island. Put on a face mask and latex gloves. Stay there. You may want to slit your wrists out of boredom or loneliness. But you won’t get COVID-19!

In private policy, people check the odds and take their chances. In public policy, they get in line… and follow orders. That is, they are zombified. All we know is what we read in the papers. But on the evidence so far, the public policies designed to contain the wicked virus have failed.

Looking at the vaccines first, CNN Health presents the rates of vaccination for most of the world’s countries. There we find that the U.S. has administered 89 doses of vaccine per 100 citizens. Sweden has given only 52 per 100. Uruguay, which we will look at more closely in a minute, 82. And Nicaragua has hardly vaccinated anyone – just 3 per 100.

Which of these countries has the lowest reported rate of COVID-19 deaths? Nicaragua, with fewer than 3 deaths per 100,000 of population. But maybe Nicaragua is an outlier… a weirdo. Even so, there is no correlation between vaccination rates and deaths. The U.S. has a death rate of 183 (per 100,000). Sweden, 142. And Uruguay… 126.

Follow the Science: As a matter of curiosity, in a few countries, the death toll in the Plague Year was actually lower than other years. According to the Center for Evidence-Based Medicine, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, and Norway all had fewer deaths in 2020 than in a normal year. Uruguay and Sweden are worthy of a closer look because they followed radically different public policy approaches. That is, one zombified; the other didn’t.

In the wake of the initial terror, in March of last year, Uruguay went into Full Lockdown mode. Face masks, closures, contact tracing, social distancing, roadblocks – the works. And guess, what? It was a great success. At least, that is what the New York Post reported in June 2020: 'Uruguay and Paraguay achieve near-total victory over coronavirus."

And here’s the Latin America Report a month later: "Uruguay has recorded the lowest number of COVID-19 cases and deaths per capita in South America, if not the entire western hemisphere. The small but progressive country has done that despite sitting right next door to Brazil – which has the world’s second-highest number of COVID-19 infections and fatalities behind the U.S."

And here’s the Open Journal of Political Science in January 2021, announcing the victory of “the science:” "Until now in Uruguay, COVID-19 has been very much under control. Evidence-based policies, a strong public health care system, and scientific innovations are believed to be the main factors of success. Uruguayan evidence-based policies consider several inputs, including scientific, medical-epidemiological, economic, and educational aspects."

Unstoppable Virus: But wait… What’s this? Barely two weeks ago, The New York Times reported: "For most of the past year, Uruguay was held up as an example for keeping the coronavirus from spreading widely as neighboring countries grappled with soaring death tolls. Uruguay’s good fortune has run out. In the last week, the small South American nation’s Covid-19 death rate per capita was the highest in the world."

At the end of the day… it didn’t seem to matter how many evidence-based policies you followed… or whether you danced to the tune of your scientific experts or not. Uruguay delayed the virus… but it could not stop it. Its final death toll will, most likely, be little different from any other country.

Follow the Numbers: The same lesson might be learned by looking at the U.S. states. In February 2021, Iowa lifted its COVID-19 restrictions, including the use of face masks, social distancing, and limitations on social gatherings. Michigan did not. Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said of Michigan’s governor, Gretchen Whitmer, that she was a “really good governor,” because she was “following the science.” Of Iowa, The Washington Post did the talking for the political/health/media elite. “Welcome to Iowa,” its editorial declared, “a state that doesn’t care if you live or die.”

Wrong again! The COVID-19 death rate in both states had been going down. But after Iowa opened up in February, the number of COVID-19-related deaths reported daily went down… while Michigan’s went up, leaving the latter with a slightly higher body count (per million).

Meanwhile, how did those face masks work out for you? In April 2020, Georgia lifted its COVID-19 restrictions. Amanda Mull at The Atlantic was aghast. An “experiment in human sacrifice,” she called it. Then, in July 2020, Alabama ordered a cover up. Everyone had to wear a mask. In Georgia and Florida, they didn’t. Again, the know-it-alls were sure the two non-mask states were flirting with disaster.

Well, guess what the experiment showed? The virus must not have been reading the mainstream press. It didn’t know it wasn’t supposed to treat people in Alabama any differently from those in Georgia or Florida. In the end, the death toll in Alabama was higher than either Georgia or Florida, with 2,277 deaths per million, compared to 1,965 and 1,719, respectively.

Fascinating History: What a fascinating episode in human history! Surely, it will be studied, dissected, and analyzed thousands of times. But we will give you our preliminary findings here: Zombifying the U.S. in the name of “keeping us safe” – whether from terrorists or viruses – is a scam."

"A Look to the Heavens"

“Riding high in the constellation of Auriga, beautiful, blue vdB 31 is the 31st object in Sidney van den Bergh's 1966 catalog of reflection nebulae. It shares this well-composed celestial still life with dark, obscuring clouds recorded in Edward E. Barnard's 1919 catalog of dark markings in the sky. All are interstellar dust clouds, blocking the light from background stars in the case of Barnard's dark nebulae. For vdB 31, the dust preferentially reflects the bluish starlight from embedded, hot, variable star AB Aurigae.
Exploring the environs of AB Aurigae with the Hubble Space Telescope has revealed the several million year young star is itself surrounded by flattened dusty disk with evidence for the ongoing formation of a planetary system. AB Aurigae is about 470 light-years away. At that distance this cosmic canvas would span about four light-years.”

"The Monstrous Thing..."

"The monstrous thing is not that men have created roses out of this dung heap, but that, for some reason or other, they should want roses. For some reason or other man looks for the miracle, and to accomplish it he will wade through blood. He will debauch himself with ideas, he will reduce himself to a shadow if for only one second of his life he can close his eyes to the hideousness of reality. Everything is endured - disgrace, humiliation, poverty, war, crime, ennui - in the belief that overnight something will occur, a miracle, which will render life tolerable. And all the while a meter is running inside and there is no hand that can reach in there and shut it off."

"Food Prices To Soar Higher As California Farmers 
Destroy Crops Because Dust Bowl Condition Spreading"
by Epic Economist

"Every single American is going to be deeply affected by the crisis that is unfolding in California right now. The state has almost 25 million acres of farmland, and it produces the vast majority of the fruits and vegetables we consume in the U.S. However, as a catastrophic megadrought has started to devastate millions of acres of crops, California's agricultural production is being dramatically reduced, and in times when severe supply chain disruptions are resulting in widespread shortages, the loss of all these crops means that we're about to face even more acute shortages and even higher food prices. That is going to be a serious issue for the entire population, especially after a year where more than half of Americans experienced some level of financial pain.

Authorities have been deeply concerned about the impacts of this weather emergency and they have been closely monitoring weather forecast updates to prevent being caught off guard in face of a potential disaster. According to the official U.S. Drought Monitor website, nearly the whole California area is experiencing either “extreme drought” or “exceptional drought” at this point. Conditions have been so alarming that Governor Gavin Newsom has decided to declare a “drought emergency” in 41 of the state’s 58 counties, which are home to more than 37 million Californians.

At this point, California's 154 major reservoirs are already collectively at 71% of where they generally are. In March, anticipating reserves would decline, the California Department of Water Resources reduced the expected water allocation of farmers and growers to 5%, sparking tumult amongst farmers of the state's agricultural belt, which is going to be hit hard by the megadrought. Across several water-stressed farming areas of the state, farmers and ranchers have already begun to cull crops, remove productive trees to other lands in an attempt to divert the little water reserves they have to other crops, as well as fallow fields, and thin their herds in preparation for what lies ahead.

Many other farmers in Fresno and Merced counties are having to abandon hundreds of thousands of acres of lower-value, high-water crops for more valuable produce. But they remain uncertain whether their crops will survive and whether their efforts will pay off at the end of the season. The truth is that many of them fear a widespread historic crop failure could be looming. Daniel Hartwig, another farmer based in Fresno County said that he isn't taking any chances. “We’re removing 15-year-old, prime-production almond trees,” he said. “We’re pulling out almost 400 acres, simply because there’s not enough water in the system to irrigate them, and long term, we have no confidence that there would be water in the future.”

On top of all that, tens of millions of salmon raised in the state are at risk of dying as waterways are going too shallow and too hot for them to safely make their journey to the Pacific Ocean. Officials are figuring out ways of transporting the fish on trucks to sites across the coast. That is to say, tons of salmon and other fish that are grown in California will never make it to the stores this year. And considering that the state typically produces 99 percent of the artichokes consumed in the country, as well as 81 percent of almonds, 99 percent of walnut and numerous staples we eat on a daily basis, U.S. consumers should prepare for shortages of a wide range of food products and, of course, soaring food prices all over the nation. This is clearly evolving into a major national crisis, and the most complicated part of it is the fact that without any rain there's no way to reverse this emergency and avert a series of disasters.

As the drought emergency aggravates, and with no hope that things could turn around any time soon, the California Department of Water Resources has warned that severe water restrictions might be put into place over the coming months. As the summer approaches, we will see many more drying lakes, crops being destroyed, and devastating dust storms across several other states. Once again, we're headed to another tough season and we all should watch the future developments of this crisis very carefully. Keeping in mind that since our food prices have already been rising to astronomical highs, and this megadrought is about to send them soaring even higher, we said it before and we're stressing it once more now: get prepared for the looming shortages and stock up on goods you will need over the next few months because things are going to spiral out of control in our food supply chains very soon."

The Poet: William Stafford, ”Today”

”Today”

“The ordinary miracles begin. Somewhere
a signal arrives: “Now,” and the rays
come down. A tomorrow has come. Open
your hands, lift them: morning rings
all the doorbells; porches are cells for prayer.
Religion has touched your throat. Not the same now,
you could close your eyes and go on full of light.
And it is already begun, the chord
that will shiver glass, the song full of time
bending above us. Outside, a sign:
a bird intervenes; the wings tell the air,
“Be warm.” No one is out there, but a giant
has passed through town, widening streets, touching
the ground, shouldering away the stars.”

"Life, In Short..."

“It is easy to overlook this thought that life just is. As humans we are inclined to feel that life must have a point. We have plans and aspirations and desires. We want to take constant advantage of the intoxicating existence we’ve been endowed with. But what’s life to a lichen? Yet its impulse to exist, to be , is every bit as strong as ours-arguably even stronger. If I were told that I had to spend decades being a furry growth on a rock in the woods, I believe I would lose the will to go on. Lichens don’t. Like virtually all living things, they will suffer any hardship, endure any insult, for a moment’s additional existence. Life, in short just wants to be.”

"'That Was A Lie': Tucker Carlson Levels Fauci After FOIA Emails Connect The Dots"

"'That Was A Lie': Tucker Carlson Levels 
Fauci After FOIA Emails Connect The Dots"
by Tyler Durden

"Fox News' Tucker Carlson ripped "the utter fraudulence of Tony Fauci" Wednesday night, after BuzzFeed and the Washington Post obtained thousands of pages of emails through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, revealing that the nation's top virologist was telling the public one thing, while furiously working on damage control and narrative-shaping as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded.

According to Carlson, Americans assumed "that the man in charge of protecting the US from COVID must be rational and impressive," adding "We also assumed he must be honest. But we were wrong. "It soon became clear that Tony Fauci was just another sleazy federal bureaucrat - deeply political and often dishonest. More shocking than that we then learned that Fauci himself was implicated in the very pandemic he'd been charged with fighting. Fauci supported the grotesque and dangerous experiments that appeared to have made COVID possible." -Tucker Carlson

Fauci's emails collectively show that "from the beginning, Tony Fauci was worried that the public might conclude COVID had originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology." "Why would he be concerned that Americans would conclude that?" Tucker asked. "Possibly because Tony Fauci knew that he had funded gain-of-function experiments at that very same laboratory."

"The emails prove that Fauci lied about this under oath," said Tucker, who highlighted an email from scientist Christian G. Anderson to Fauci, saying that he and his fellow scientists felt the virus looked 'potentially' engineered, and that members of his team "all find the genome inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory."
Click for larger size.

Fauci then sent an urgent email to his deputy - Hugh Auchincloss - with the subject "IMPORTANT," and which read "Hugh, it is essential that we speak this AM. Keep your cell phone on ... You will have tasks today that must be done."
Click image for larger size.

Attached to that email was a document titled "Baric, Shi et al - Nature medicine - SARS Gain of function.pdf" referring to Dr. Ralph Baric, a US-based virologist who collaborated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology under Dr. Shi Zhengly ("Bat lady") known for manipulating bat coronaviruses to better-infect humans.

Tucker then shows a clip of Fauci denying that Baric had conducted gain-of-function research, under oath. "In retrospect, that looks a lot like perjury," said Carlson, adding that early last year a lot of people at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) were worried that COVID-19 had not occurred naturally, and were concerned that it had been manipulated in a lab in China - facts they were 'determined' to hide from the Public. Tucker then notes that a group of top-level virologists were told to keep the contents of a teleconference discussion "in total confidence" and not to share information until next steps are agreed upon.

Carlson then mentioned Zero Hedge, after UK virologist Jeremy Farrar passed along an article in which we suggested COVID-19 was man-made. "We now know that's a more plausible explanation than the one we believed at first, and were told by the media - which is that corona came from a pangolin. And yet for the crime of saying that out loud, a more plausible explanation, Zero Hedge was banned from social media platforms. Until recently you were not allowed to suggest that COVID might be man-made. Why couldn't you suggest that? The fact-checkers wouldn't allow it. Why wouldn't they? Because Tony Fauci assured the tech monopolies that the coronavirus could not have been man-made. And so the tech monopolies shut down the topic." -Tucker Carlson

Carlson then showed an April 17 press conference in which Fauci told the American public that COVID-19 was "totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human. "At that point, what Tony Fauci just asserted as known, could not conclusively have been known. That was a lie."

"Go To The Stores And Stock Up Now
 Because Things Are About To Get Really Crazy"
by Epic Economist

"If there are some items missing on your stockpile, you should try to get them as fast as you can because things in the global supply chains are about to get really crazy. On top of the ongoing shortages, rising prices, transportation problems, and the threat of a 70s-like inflationary spike, companies are also having to deal with external offenses, as a different group of hackers just attacked the system of the largest meatpacker in the entire world, forcing the company to halt all operations across numerous plants, many of them based in the U.S. Just yesterday, the White House revealed that JBS SA, a Brazilian meatpacking company that has several meat processing plants in North America and Australia, has fallen victim to a ransomware attack conducted by a criminal organization likely based in Russia. The attack resulted in severe disruptions in production and forced the company to entirely shut down Australian operations and stop cattle slaughter at all its U.S. plants on Tuesday, according to union officials.

The company's North American operations are headquartered in Greeley, Colorado, but there are four other huge beef plants across the U.S., which altogether handle 22,500 cattle a day. According to Bloomberg, the outage has already wiped out nearly a fifth of the U.S. production as JBS controls about 20% of the nation's slaughtering capacity for cattle and hogs. Analysts are warning that until this crisis is finally put under control, meat and pork will become harder to find at the stores and prices will likely tick up.

Supply chain specialists have been arguing that the coming meat shortage is just the tip of the iceberg. But last year's chaotic events highlighted to the global industry how paring inventories can leave supply chains extremely vulnerable to external disruptions. A single systemic failure can trigger persistent shortages of a wide variety of goods and exacerbate inflation pressures for both businesses and consumers, which leads to bigger losses and tighter profits.

The worldwide shortage of raw materials in addition to container shipping shortages has been severely aggravating supply chain problems, but as consumers have been more eager than ever to buy what they want, prices have nowhere to go but up, that's why economists have started to alert the whole world may be at risk of seeing inflation levels spiral out of control.

Recently, even Costco executives have been stressing that inflation has become a serious issue across their chains and they said to be seeing accelerating prices across a range of products, from raw materials to containers as well as a 20% spike in meat prices over the past month.“Inflationary factors abound,” CFO Richard Galanti exclaimed on the company’s fiscal third-quarter earnings call last Thursday.

Galanti mentioned price increases as high as 8% across several goods, including pulp and paper, an assortment of plastic products as well as soda and cheese. Those increases are pushing the company to pass on price hikes of 3% to 10% to consumers. So if your pantry is running low on some items, try to find what you'll need in the months ahead and buy it if you can because just by analyzing how the current trends have been unfolding, there's a good chance U.S. consumers will have to deal with even acuter shortages and they'll be paying much higher prices for the supplies they want if they wait. In the meantime, pay attention to the packaging of the products you're going to buy because some companies have been masking inflation by shrinking package sizes.

The phenomenon called “shrinkflation” is a form of retail camouflage, in which people end up paying more for their household staples in ways that actually don’t show up on receipts - thinner rolls, lighter bags, and smaller cans. The "technique" is a way companies found not to scare off customers in face of rising costs. We're about to witness the inflationary nightmare so many experts have relentlessly tried to warn us about. And it's safe to say that many other "unpleasant surprises" will come along the way and trigger a lot more chaos. Don't waste your time and start getting ready for the challenges lying ahead before it's either too late or too expensive to do so."

“Over 400,000 light years across NGC 6872 is an enormous spiral galaxy, at least 4 times the size of our own very large Milky Way. About 200 million light-years distant, toward the southern constellation Pavo, the Peacock, the remarkable galaxy’s stretched out shape is due to its ongoing gravitational interaction, likely leading to an eventual merger, with the nearby smaller galaxy IC 4970. IC 4970 is seen just below and right of the giant galaxy’s core in this cosmic color portrait from the 8 meter Gemini South telescope in Chile.

The idea to image this titanic galaxy collision comes from a winning contest essay submitted last year to the Gemini Observatory by the Sydney Girls High School Astronomy Club. In addition to inspirational aspects and aesthetics, club members argued that a color image would be more than just a pretty picture. In their winning essay they noted that “If enough color data is obtained in the image it may reveal easily accessible information about the different populations of stars, star formation, relative rate of star formation due to the interaction, and the extent of dust and gas present in these galaxies.”

Chet Raymo, “The Uses of Enchantment”

“The Uses of Enchantment”
by Chet Raymo

“There was a time when every wood, every tree, was thought to be inhabited by spirits called dryads, every pool and stream by naiads. Even not so long ago, our road here in Ireland was called “the fairies’ road.” The world, we say, was enchanted- every stone and plant infused with an animate spirit. Science put paid to all that, chased the spirits from their woods and pools, drove the fairies from their hills. Disenchanted the landscape. Well, maybe not. It depends on how you define enchantment.

Remember those spider webs I wrote about the other day, made visible by dew? Once the sun burned away the mist and the dew evaporated, the webs became invisible. But of course they are still there, a thousand silken snares, each with its resident spider. As I walked down the drive today I sensed their presence—the field alive with invisible spirits, a thousand arachnoid dryads crouching in their bowers.

The key to enchantment is to be aware of what can’t be seen. The spiders in their webs. The spinnerets extruding gossamer. The DNA zipping and unzipping in each cell of the spiders’ bodies, the amino acids, A and T, G and C, grasping hands in their dervish dance. The atoms in their resonant vibrations.

“What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well,” wrote Antoine De Saint-Exupery. The key to enchantment is to never stop thinking about the well.”

"What Foolish Forgetfulness..."

“You live as if you were destined to live forever, no thought of your frailty ever enters your head, of how much time has already gone by you take no heed. You squander time as if you drew from a full and abundant supply, so all the while that day which you bestow on some person or thing is perhaps your last. You have all the fears of mortals and all the desires of immortals… What foolish forgetfulness of mortality to defer wise resolutions to the fiftieth or sixtieth year, and to intend to begin life at a point to which few have attained.”
- Denis Diderot

"Doug Casey on the 'Graveyard of Empires'”

"Doug Casey on the 'Graveyard of Empires'”
by Internationalman.com

"International Man: After almost 20 years, the US government announced it is officially leaving Afghanistan and is pulling its troops out of the country soon. What’s your take on this? Did the US government accomplish anything?

Doug Casey: The US presence in Afghanistan for 20 years is clinically insane. The place has long been acknowledged as one of the planet's most isolated, backward, and valueless regions. Its inhabitants belong to disparate groups which are mutually antagonistic. Afghanistan isn’t even a real country. It’s a region.

How stupid are US leaders that - on top of those points - they could learn nothing from the total failure of earlier British and Soviet invasions? Or our own experience in Vietnam? In Vietnam, a primitive country the US invaded on the pretext of propping up a very corrupt and unpopular government, war hawks said, "We can't withdraw because it would show that the commies beat us. We have a huge commitment. It's too hard." People like myself countered, "It's not hard at all. Cut your losses. You simply put the soldiers on the boats, you put the boats in reverse, and leave."

Of course, by the time the US left Vietnam, it was a chaotic emergency evacuation with people being kicked off helicopters from the top of the US Embassy. A desperate run for cover. But that’s the proper fate for invaders, no matter where they’re from. It’s sad in the case of the US, which betrayed its founding principles, however.

Who benefited from the US invasion of Afghanistan? It was a huge loss for the world in general, the common people in the US and Afghanistan in particular. The only winners were the various members of the military-industrial complex. The generals in the Pentagon, who got to play big shot, build their careers, and rack up brownie points with corporations who will hire them when they retire. Weapons manufacturers and members of the Deep State profit immediately and directly, however. They’re financed by government debt and money printing.

The Afghan adventure served absolutely no useful purpose whatsoever. There were zero benefits to either the US or the natives. In fact, not only were there zero benefits, but everything was a negative accomplishment. It resulted in the further bankruptcy of the US government and the American people, who are directly and indirectly being taxed to pay for it.

The trillions of new dollars floating around have resulted in massive new layers of corruption everywhere. And considerable new enemies for America - in Afghanistan, in the region, and around the world. The US has earned the contempt of people all over the world, who saw it as a giant bully pushing around primitive tribesmen. It amazes me that anybody tries to defend the US war in Afghanistan on any basis whatsoever. It was a total and absolute net loss.

International Man: The acknowledged and direct financial cost to the US taxpayer of the war in Afghanistan was nearly $1 trillion. (Conjecture. True figure, April 2021: "The Bill for the Afghanistan War Is $2.26 Trillion, and Still Rising" - CP.) The war also killed over 2,300 American soldiers, about 1,000 non-US NATO soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of Afghans. That is to say nothing of the indirect, delayed, and unacknowledged costs. What are your thoughts on the costs of this war?

Doug Casey: Direct deaths are just the tiniest tip of the iceberg. Not too many people die in combat today because of body armor, excellent medevac facilities, and medical technology. For every American soldier that died, there are probably 10 or 20 other soldiers who are severely and permanently maimed in some way. God knows what the numbers are for the psychologically maimed because of what they had to do to others and what was done to them in Afghanistan. The 2,300 dead US soldiers are actually the least part of the damage the war caused. Nobody can even count the Afghans.

The people responsible for this war - prominently George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, but everybody involved in their regime - should be tried for treason. If convicted - which they should be - they should not only serve time in prison but their assets should be confiscated and used to compensate the various victims of the war.

There was an excuse for the Afghan war, starting with the phony reasons given for 9/11. Attacking Afghanistan because of the attack on the Twin Towers was about as logical as it would have been for the US to declare war on China in 1941 because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.

It appears that most of the hijackers were Saudis - assuming that's what really happened because nobody knows for sure. They certainly had nothing to do with Afghanistan. The Afghan government at the time said, "Act like a civilized country. Show us proof that Osama bin Laden was behind of this, and we'll render him to you."

Osama bin Laden said he approved of the attack on the Twin Towers, but he disavowed any responsibility for it. He would have been happy to take credit if he could have. The US invasion was a sham and unprovoked criminal aggression from beginning to end. Osama should have been pursued as a suspect in a crime, and it’s clear the Afghans would have cooperated. When (and if) he was captured in Pakistan in 2011, there was no excuse for executing him on the spot. It was like a mob hit to keep him from testifying.

International Man: Throughout history, many ancient and modern empires have had trouble conquering Afghanistan. Alexander the Great, Ghengis Khan and the Mongols, various Persian empires, the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and the Americans, among others, all bit off more than they could chew in Afghanistan. Afghanistan has earned its reputation of being "the graveyard of empires." Why do armies have such a hard time subduing Afghanistan? And why, given this obvious history, did the US empire think it would be any different?

Doug Casey: Stupidity and arrogance are fundamental reasons. Afghanistan is a totally alien culture to Americans. Even now, few can even find it on a map. Before we invaded, few had even heard of the place. It’s a place with totally different values, beliefs, language, religion, and ethnicity from Americans. What, therefore, are American soldiers doing running around killing natives in Afghanistan?

There’s no excuse for it whatsoever. As I said before, Afghanistan is an unorganized place - in fact, there really is no such thing as "Afghanistan." It’s a totally artificial construct, with a dozen major tribes and ethnic groups and hundreds of clans. The Afghans’ loyalty is not to their purported government in Kabul or the fictional concept of Afghanistan; it’s to their family, then to their clan, and then to their tribe. It’s impossible to conquer a country like that. The US would have had to conquer every single individual Afghan. With the exception of local quislings and opportunists, the Afghans hate the American invaders about as much as Americans would hate an army of invading Afghans.

There’s no reason why the US war should have gone any differently from the Soviet or the British wars. Insofar as these primitive people are tied together at all, it’s by a belief in a very militaristic religion, Mohammedanism. They take it very seriously and have a visceral hatred for infidel invaders.

But not only is it impossible to conquer a country like that - short of wholesale genocide -there’s no reason to be there. Elements in the US tried to fabricate an excuse that there was $3 trillion of mineral wealth in Afghanistan. Great. There's probably $3 quadrillion of mineral wealth on Mars. It’s a meaningless number apart from the fact that it’s a fraud that somebody sucked from thin air.

Even if economic deposits of unobtanium exist, the locals will make it impossible for foreigners to mine them. They'll see it as foreigners stealing their wealth. As I said, the whole Afghan adventure is a criminal fraud from beginning to end.

International Man: With the failure in Afghanistan, is there any doubt that the US empire is on the decline? If so, what are the investment and other implications of that?

Doug Casey: The only thing that really works in the US government now is the military. It’s certainly the only part of the government that Americans still respect or trust. The rest of it is increasingly being acknowledged as completely dysfunctional.

Since the US military is the only thing that works somehow, it's become the golden hammer in the US government's arsenal. If all you have is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail. Therefore, I suspect the military will become more important than ever in the years to come. That’s very dangerous because not many of the military are frontline types anymore. Future wars won’t be fought with divisions, corps, and armies, as things were in World War 2. The actual fighting will be done in small units by special operations guys. There are about 1.5 million individuals in the US Armed Forces. About 70,000 are Spec Ops of one kind or another, which is quite a large number for ultra-elite trained killers, who are reinforced by a million pencil pushers, administrators, and desk jockeys. In addition to the FBI, the CIA, and the NSA, they amount to a modern-day Praetorian Guard. That makes them very dangerous not only to real or imagined foreign enemies but to America itself.

It's been said that war is the health of the State. Having constant wars, and with combat soldiers in a hundred countries around the world, means the State is getting healthier. It's very much like what happened with Rome with the late empire. Defending borders against a hundred different tribes over thousands of miles was one cause of its implosion.

The same thing happened with the Athenian empire roughly 700 years earlier. They devolved from the shining city on the hill, freer than and different from any other entity in the world, into just another empire. War, a consequence of empire, destroyed them too. In their case, it was the Peloponnesian War.

The same thing is happening to the US, not just in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, but in dozens of other flyblown shitholes that few Americans have even heard of yet. We're imitating the Greeks and Romans in the worst possible way."

"An Insufficiency Of Data...

“Experience is a poor guide to man, and is seldom followed. A man really learns little by it, for it is narrowly limited in range. What does a faithful husband know of women, or a faithful wife of men? The generalizations of such persons are always inaccurate. What really teaches man is not experiences, but observation. It is observation that enables him to make use of the vastly greater experience of other men, of men taken in the mass. He learns by noting what happens to them. Confined to what happens to himself, he labors eternally under an insufficiency of data.”

"The Stink of Zombies"

"The Stink of Zombies"
by Bill Bonner

YOUGHAL, IRELAND – "The subject this week is transformation. And zombies. The Biden Bunch wishes to transform the government, making it bigger and better than ever. To make a long story short, what they are really doing is zombifying the whole country. But the transformers are on the march everywhere.

Path of Righteousness: Each group has its bugaboos… The “anti-racists” are trying to transform the human mind… No more shall we have the prejudices and inequalities that come so naturally to us all.

Vegans are trying to transform the human diet… Say goodbye to those beef steaks and “Got Milk” slogans… Not only would this stop the exploitation of animals, it would also stop all that cow flatulence that is destroying the planet.

Democrat activists seek to destroy the last vestiges of the Republican Party, giving themselves a permanent lock on power.

Republican activists hope to rise again… and put the country back on the path of righteousness… or, at least, Trumpeousness.

And activists wish to transform the oil companies into clean energy companies. For us, this is not just a matter of academic curiosity. Our Trade of the Decade features oil and gas on the long side (we’re short the U.S. dollar on the other side). [Paid-up Bonner-Denning Letter subscribers can find out all the details here. To subscribe, click here.] How are we doing? Keep reading…

Thriving Capitalism: Just because activists target an industry doesn’t mean it’s a bad investment. Capitalists connive… and capitalism survives. It goes about its business the best it can, swatting every curve ball that comes its way. Remember, government is inherently reactionary… always trying to protect the old elite who control it. So, the more the feds “transform” an industry, the more the insiders are likely to profit.

We looked at the tobacco companies yesterday. And our old friend Chris Mayer pointed out that the transformation wrought by activists and regulators didn’t harm investors in the Big Tobacco companies one bit. In 1998, the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement required America’s four major cigarette companies – Philip Morris, R. J. Reynolds, Brown & Williamson, and Lorillard – to pay a minimum of $206 billion over the next 25 years to settle the medical claims against them. Then in 2012, The Tobacco Atlas reported: “Tobacco Industry’s Profits Greater Than Ever.” How could that be?

Consequences of Activism: When activists or the feds target an industry, the first consequence is that money turns away from the sector. Fearing higher taxes, bad press, or stricter regulation, investors move on. Nobody starts a new cigarette company when the feds are trying to ban smoking. And few investors are going to put their money into building new oil rigs when the feds are insisting on going “green.”

This has the effect of making the existing capital – already invested in the industry – more valuable. No new competition, in other words; higher profits. The second consequence – which is why we are so bullish on energy – is that the lack of new investment means supply goes down. But today’s standard of living depends largely on the dense energy in oil and gas. Over time, uranium, hydrogen, solar panels, and windmills may play bigger roles. But for now, it’s oil and gas we use. And with new competition largely eliminated… and little growth or fresh investment… the oil companies will be more profitable than ever.

But they will be transformed, too – into zombies. Output will fall… Demand will continue to increase… And prices will rise. (Later, activists and the feds will blame the “greedy” oil companies for raising prices.) Gasoline use has already returned to pre-COVID levels in the U.S. And our oil and gas investments are up more than 50% since the beginning of the year. So far this year, oil is the best-performing sector. Not only are investors anticipating higher profits, they’re also looking to oil and gas to protect them from inflation. Once you’re pumping oil, your capital expense is “sunk.” You can keep pumping until the well goes dry. And you can easily keep up with inflation by adjusting prices upward.

Government Policy: Yes, that was a big story last week, too – inflation. When the supply of goods and services goes down (thanks to the zombification of the economy) and the supply of money goes up (in the 12 months of the COVID-19 hysteria, major central banks added nearly $10 trillion to their balance sheets)…Mr. Market rations those aforementioned goods and services by raising prices.

Which leads us to more footnotes in our Chronology of a Declining Economy. The U.S. budget deficit last year was $3.2 trillion… or 14.9% of GDP. (For comparison, Argentina, with 50% inflation, had a budget deficit last year of 8.5% of GDP.) And now, Joe Biden has proposed a $6 trillion budget. Inflation is now government policy – intentional… deliberate… and disastrous.

Inflation Herald: The Financial Times is on the story: "Key inflation gauge registers big jump in the US. A US inflation measure closely watched by the Federal Reserve posted its biggest year-on-year jump since the 1990s in April, rising more than expected and fuelling concerns about price increases. This is the Personal Consumption Expenditure Index (PCE) they’re talking about. It’s now going up at 3.1% year-on-year. (The Consumer Price Index, CPI, another important inflation measure, rose at a 5% annual rate during the first quarter)."

Which is not so alarming in itself. But it heralds the inflation trend we expect. Combining the latest figures for CPI and PCE, the statistical glop “gives off a faint whiff of stagflation,” said Paul Ashworth at Capital Economics. Even over here, drifting across the crystal sea on the North Atlantic wind to our current Diary headquarters in Ireland, the smell of zombies is unmistakable."

"We Are at the Top of the Bubble"
by Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com

"Finance and economic expert Alasdair Macleod says a new rule change at the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), aka the central bank of central bankers, is going to help drive the price of gold and many other commodities higher. The new rule is called “Net Stable Funding Requirement” (NSFR). It goes into effect by the end of June in Europe and by the end of the year in the UK where the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) operates the biggest gold trading platform in the world. The short story is this new BIS rule is going to stop paper contracts from conjuring supply of gold, silver and many other commodities out of thin air. Macleod says, “That’s what they do, and that is what is going to be stopped. For a long time I think the American government has encouraged the growth of paper alternatives to gold in order to take demand away from the real stuff. They said to the Bank of International Settlements that we can’t have another Lehman Brothers. So, what’s happened? They have come up with regulations to help insure we won’t have another Lehman. I think the real big, big change is going to be in the second half of this year.”

Macleod says couple this BIS rule change along with the out-of-control global spending and coming inflation and you have the perfect predictable storm. Macleod says, “With these two things coming together, only one thing can happen. The dollar goes down and down and down. Also, people are going to be frightened and think we have no gold, they are going to go out and try to buy gold. It’s going to be like squeezing a bar of soap in the bath, it will just shoot up. I can’t see any other outcome than that. Look at what is happening with the BIS and the new regulations that they are bringing in. From the gold point of view, you’ve got a falling dollar and you have sudden demand for gold being unleashed that was previously happy to sit in a bank on an unallocated basis.”

Macleod also says, “This has gotten to a point where we can’t go any further. We are at the top of the bubble. What happens when this market tops out? The dollar goes with it.”

Macleod predicts big corrections in bonds and stocks along with the dollar because despite what you are hearing, Macleod says, “Look at the fundamentals in the economy. They are talking about economic recovery, but look at all the shops that are closed and never to be reopened. This is not a healthy economy. This is a very bad economy. The reason why prices are rising is you’ve got all this money being put into the consumers’ hands. This is the middle class here, and they are spending this money, and where is the production to satisfy the spending? It’s not there, it’s closed down. There is no solution. We are getting to the point that there is actually no exit from this mess.”

In closing, a warning about revolutions. Macleod says, “This is part of the myth of a revolution. When you look at a revolution, it’s actually because the currency collapses because the economy collapses. It’s not because there is no bread. Why is there no bread? Because there is no bloody money.”
