Dem Desperation, Were They Vaxed, Biden Inflation
by Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com
""The economy is so bad, and inflation is so high, that the Democrat National Committee (DNC) is worrying more about retaining Democrats than cultivation of new voters for the mid-terms this fall. A new poll shows a majority of Democrats say Biden is responsible for the inflation we are seeing. There are record high gasoline prices, rising food prices and just about everything else costing more - much more. Not a good time to ride the Biden coat tails.
So many young people are dying unexpectedly that the government has a new name for this phenomenon. It’s called “Sudden Adult Death Syndrome.” Someone young dies with no apparent cause of death and everyone is baffled. Of course, this strange phenomenon after millions were coerced or psyched into taking a so-called CV19 vaccine. Maybe we should be asking, “Were they vaxed?”
Gasoline is near record high, and inflation is running at levels not seen in 40 years. Has it peaked or is there more pain to come? Looks like it has leveled off for now, but many think the economy will tank and more inflation is on the way. They call this stagflation, and it’s not going away anytime soon."

"Hordes Of Americans Are Moving To Mexico
To Escape Crazy Rising Prices In America"
by Epic Economist
"Times are changing incredibly fast, and the immigration trends that led millions of people to cross the U.S. border in the search for a better life are now reversing as the cost of living in America reaches the highest level in over four decades. Now, it’s the Americans who are crossing the Mexican border looking for better living conditions, affordable housing, and lower gas prices. With each passing month living expenses hit new record-highs, and thousands of people out there are doing everything they can to escape the oppressive inflation that has been plaguing the U.S. economy.
Typically, when we talked about immigration in America, we usually envisioned hoards of people coming from poverty-stricken countries crossing our southern border in the pursuit of a better quality of life. But economic conditions have deteriorated so rapidly over the past few years that now, Americans are actually leaving the country by the thousands simply because they can no longer afford to maintain their living standards in the U.S. as the price of virtually everything continues to soar.
The increasing popularity of remote working is allowing many Americans to be employed in the U.S. while living in Mexico, where everyday expenses tend to cost quite a bit less. According to a recent report, thousands of Californians are fleeing to Mexico in the search of a cheaper lifestyle, while others are already living in Mexico but commuting to work in the U.S. every day, given that the cost of living in the golden state is rising much faster than wages can keep up. “Many feel forced out by rocketing inflation in California, that has gas, grocery, and living costs soaring,” the report highlights.
The hunt for homes in the region has started to become quite intense. In fact, one real estate agent in the area revealed that at this point about 50 percent of his customers are actually Californians.On average, the monthly rent of a one-bedroom apartment in Mexico can be as low as $430 per month. In contrast, the average rent in San Diego can be as high as $1,500 per month. That’s one of the reasons why about 280,000 people left California last year. The state’s population declined again in 2021 for the second consecutive year, officials reported in May.
And this immigration trend is expected to gain force in 2022, as the U.S. inflation rate rises closer and closer to the 9 percent mark. Last week, the national average price of a gallon of gasoline hit $5.00, and since then, the largest price drop was of mere 6 cents. On the other hand, in May, gas prices saw a gain of 58 cents, breaking all-time records 33 times in a span of just 35 days.
When we consider that the price of a gallon of gas used to be just 36 cents in 1970, we realize that the latest increases are extremely shocking. In essence, it means that today, Californians pay 20 times more for gas than they did five decades ago.
Over the past two years, we kept pumping trillions of fresh dollars into our financial system. And eventually, a day of reckoning would have to come, and now, we’re here. We’ve been warned over and over again that there would be very serious consequences. Sadly, it was just a matter of time before the laws of economics caught up with us."

About five light-years "tall", the dark cloud is cataloged as Barnard 33 and is visible only because its obscuring dust is silhouetted against the glowing red emission nebula IC 434. Stars are forming within the dark cloud. Contrasting blue reflection nebula NGC 2023, surrounding a hot, young star, is at the lower left. The gorgeous color image combines both narrowband and broadband images recorded using three different telescopes.”

"Compassion is not at all weak. It is the strength that arises out of seeing the true nature of suffering in the world. Compassion allows us to bear witness to that suffering, whether it is in ourselves or others, without fear; it allows us to name injustice without hesitation, and to act strongly, with all the skill at our disposal. To develop this mind state of compassion... is to learn to live, as the Buddha put it, with sympathy for all living beings, without exception."

"Demolition of Supply Chains is Pre-Civil War Sabotage to Shape the Battlefield for Domestic Warfare Against We the People" (Excerpt)
"Demolition of Supply Chains is Pre-Civil War Sabotage to
Shape the Battlefield for Domestic Warfare Against We the People"
by Mike Adams
Excerpt: "The United States of America is about to be plunged into a civil war. It will be ignited by the imminent Roe vs. Wade nullification decision by the US Supreme Court, which also just rendered a landmark decision affirming the universal right to carry a personal firearm for self-defense (striking down the New York law that radically restricted the right to bear arms).
That pro-2A decision is already seeing heads explode across the anti-American, anti-liberty Left, with rabid left-wing commentator Keith Olbermann even calling for an open insurrection to demolish the US Supreme Court and seize total control over the country via the executive branch.
Once the Roe decision is rendered, the radical Left will erupt into full-blown domestic terrorism, launching unrestricted warfare against Christians, gun owners and conservatives. What’s coming will make the 2020 BLM and Antifa riots look like child’s play.
The Biden regime knows this is coming, of course, since Barack Obama is the key mastermind behind the whole thing. Obama runs the Biden White House and tells Biden’s handlers what to do. They shaped the 2020 riots using paid mercenaries, media propaganda and “color revolution” tactics routinely used by the CIA to overthrow governments of other nations. Now they plan to use the same tactics to overthrow the US Constitution and attempt to seize permanent dictatorial control over the United States of America."

"The End of the European Colonial Powers, The Tyranny of Physics"
"The End of the European Colonial Powers,
The Tyranny of Physics"
by Tom Luongo
"I sat down last weekend for a long chat with Alexander Mercouris of The Duran and Crypto Rich to discuss the rapidly evolving situation in Europe. Long time readers know that I’ve been handicapping the collapse of the European Union for years. That idea isn’t based on my personal antipathy for Eurotrash commies and eugenicists, though it is quite large. In fact, the deeper we go into 2022 the more that antipathy rises to near unquenchable levels. The sheer arrogance and stupidity of Europe’s leadership is nothing short of breathtaking.
Today we are looking at a situation where an entire continent’s leadership is in the process of committing ritualistic suicide and yet is obsessed with portraying these self-inflicted wounds to the world as Russian President Vladimir Putin’s fault. A common trait among all malignant narcissists is the inability to take any responsibility for their own actions, seeking to always shift blame onto someone else. You see this behavior in children. And it only manifests itself in adulthood because the parents refused to put any boundaries on the child or inflict any consequences on them.
Look at Europe’s leaders today and to a person, man or woman, there is not one shred of self-reflection or contrition. The problem is just as endemic here amongst the Davos-affiliated American leadership. Fungal President Joe Biden keep yammering on about the “Putin Price Hike” or blaming oil companies for not being patriotic enough to keep gas and diesel prices affordable for nearly every American. But it was just a few weeks ago where these same people were telling us that we had to endure slightly higher prices at the pump to starve Russia and defend Ukraine.
Biden and his party apparatchiks simply can’t give this idea up as we’re now just over four months to the mid-term elections. Biden to companies that run gas pumps:
"This is a time of war. Global peril. Ukraine. These are not normal times. Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you are paying for the product. Do it now. Do it today." pic.twitter.com/1SCACLd8YO
- Townhall.com (@townhallcom) June 22, 2022
I already told you what the real cost at the pump is all about, RINs, renewable offset blending credits, which are strangling small refiners. But in Europe the real story is beyond comprehension. It can be summed up in the following meme:
And yet if you listen to Europe’s leadership what are they talking about? Expanding NATO to include Finland and Sweden. Backing Lithuania’s disastrous blockade of overland goods into Kaliningrad, in clear violation of that country’s treaty with Russia. The EU parliament and the leaders of France, Germany, and Italy all backing Ukraine’s invitation into the bloc.
These are all to which Russia will correctly respond with shifting its exports East rather than West and put paid Putin’s words from his speech at SPIEF 2022 last week. “The European Union has lost its political sovereignty, and its bureaucratic elites are dancing to someone else’s tune, doing everything they are told from on high and hurting their own people, economies, and businesses.”
The whole speech is worth your time and the best highlight reel is this Twitter thread, not for what it implies for crypto, as the author implies, but for humanity in general. Debt is a slave’s system. It’s not real wealth, only the pretense of wealth.
The big takeaway is exactly what I’ve been talking about on this blog for years: The end of sovereign debt as the basis for global reserves. The world will move, quickly, towards a commodity-backed monetary standard, where some form of discipline will be enforced on governments, who are torching their credibility by the day, because of reality.
Real wealth is in things which sustain your life. Eventually physics and the limitations of time catch up with every central planner and their grand dreams of global domination. The tyranny they decry isn’t racism, a lack of tolerance or even tribalism, it is simply math and the physics of energy production.
That is Putin’s big crime, reminding everyone of this basic fact. The narcissists who try to blame him for their woes will never admit they were wrong. They would rather continue manipulating events to steer the world towards the unthinkable blaming him and us for not bowing to their wisdom. Listen to them carefully and all you will hear is, “It’s not my fault!” But it is."

"A Warning About The Coming Shortages Of Diesel Fuel, Diesel Exhaust Fluid And Diesel Engine Oil"
"A Warning About The Coming Shortages Of Diesel Fuel,
Diesel Exhaust Fluid And Diesel Engine Oil"
by Michael Snyder
"What I am about to share with you is a developing situation, and I hope to share more once the facts become clearer. It appears that a very serious diesel crisis is coming in the months ahead, and that will have a dramatic impact on our economy. As you will see below, we are being warned that there will be shortages of diesel fuel, diesel exhaust fluid and diesel engine oil. Most diesel vehicles require all three in order to run, and so a serious shortage of any of them would be a major disaster. Needless to say, simultaneous shortages of all three could potentially be catastrophic. Most Americans don’t spend much time thinking about diesel, but without it our supply chains collapse and we don’t have a functioning economy. In a recent Time Magazine article discussing the coming diesel fuel shortage, we are told that “the U.S. economy runs on diesel”…
Though most consumers shake their heads at the cost of gasoline and complain about the cost of filling up their car tanks, what they really should be worried about is the price of diesel. The U.S. economy runs on diesel. It’s what powers the container ships that bring goods from Asia and the trucks that collect goods from the ports and bring them to warehouses and then to your home. The farmers who grow the food you eat put diesel in their tractors to plow the fields, and the workers that bring construction equipment to build your home put diesel in their trucks.
Since January, supplies of diesel fuel have been steadily getting tighter. As supplies have gotten tighter, prices have skyrocketed. The average price of a gallon of diesel fuel hit $5.50 a gallon in early May, and it has remained above that level ever since.
One of the biggest reasons for the supply crunch is a serious lack of refining capacity. Back in 1980, the U.S. had twice as many refineries…"There are also fewer refineries, which process crude oil into diesel and other products, in the U.S. than were just a few years ago. There are just 124 now operating, down from twice as many in 1980, and down from 139 in 2016, according to the U.S. Energy Information Association. The northeast region is particularly spare, with just seven refineries today, down from 27 in 1982."
There have already been some temporary outages of diesel fuel at a few locations around the country, and we are being warned that disruptions are likely to intensify during the summer months. But the good news is that we aren’t going to run out of diesel fuel. It may become a lot more expensive, and there may be painful temporary shortages, but we won’t run out of it.
Unfortunately, the crisis that we are facing with diesel exhaust fluid is potentially much more serious. If you have just been skimming this article, this is the part where you need to start really paying attention. Newsweek is telling us that the United States “could soon experience a severe shortage of diesel exhaust fluid”…"The U.S. could soon experience a severe shortage of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), impacting U.S. drivers already hit with soaring fuel prices. DEF is a solution made up of urea and de-ionized water that is needed for almost everything that runs on diesel. It reduces harmful gases being released into the atmosphere and works by converting nitrogen oxide produced by diesel engines into nitrogen and steam."
If you have a diesel vehicle that was sold in the United States after 2010, your vehicle could technically run without DEF, but in most cases your vehicle will simply not let you start it if the DEF tank is dry…"Can we call it a DEF jam? Everything is in short supply as supply chains continue to unlink. The latest commodity reportedly hit is DEF, or the blue diesel exhaust fluid that every diesel sold in the U.S. after 2010 needs to cut emissions. This means that every diesel truck, diesel RV, SUV, and car owner will likely have to look harder, and pay more for, DEF. A diesel engine can technically run without DEF, but your diesel vehicle likely won’t let you start it if the DEF tank is empty."
A lack of urea is the biggest reason for the growing shortage of DEF. The United States is one of the largest importers of urea in the world, and Russia and China are two of the largest exporters. In previous years that wasn’t a problem, but now the war in Ukraine has dramatically changed things…"A major portion of our urea comes from Europe, and because of the war in Ukraine we’re seeing a shortage of it, according to Newsweek. Russia is one of the world’s major exporters of it. China, too, is a major exporter of it, and it has suspended exports. Weather, too, has caused supply chain disruptions. Since it’s also a major component in fertilizers, there’s intense competition for urea." Without enough DEF, our economy is going to be in for a world of hurt.
Meanwhile, Mike Adams is reporting on the growing shortages of diesel engine oil that are starting to happen all over the nation…"Retailers, customers and distributors are all reporting shortages in diesel engine oil. This is not an imaginary problem, it is a real problem that is so far entirely ignored by the corporate media."
Apparently there are some diesel engine oil additives that are in extremely short supply, and one industry insider is telling us that this problem isn’t going to be resolved any time soon. So what this means is that people are going to start running out of diesel engine oil. In fact, it is already being reported that the trains in Sri Lanka will soon have to completely shut down because of a lack of diesel engine oil…"Sri Lanka Railways said that it will NOT be possible to operate trains in the future due to the lack of engine oil. A senior official at Sri Lanka Railways said that the current level of engine oil would only last for another two months."
That’s in line with the warning we’re hearing in the states: About 8 weeks of diesel engine oil remaining in the pipeline. Just solving one of the shortages that I have described in this article will not be enough. As I noted in the opening paragraph, a diesel vehicle requires diesel fuel, diesel exhaust fluid and diesel engine oil in order to operate. You need all three.
This is a story that I will be following very closely. Needless to say, there are enormous implications for our supply chains and for our economy as a whole if solutions cannot be found."

"RED ALERT: Entire U.S. supply of diesel engine oil may be
wiped out in 8 weeks. No more oil until 2023
due to “Force Majeure” additive chemical shortages."
by Mike Adams
Excerpt: "According to information you'll see here (and explained in more detail in today's podcast, below), chemical manufacturers of diesel engine oil additives have declared force majeure and have ceased supply operations to the diesel engine oil manufacturers. Without a miraculous solution, the current supply of diesel engine oil will likely be gone in 4-8 weeks. After that, unless a solution is quickly found, there will be no diesel engine oil available until some time in 2023.
All transport trucks, farm tractors, construction machinery and transport trains run on diesel engines. A shut down of diesel engine oil would grind all transportation to a halt. No food for grocery stores, no coal for power plants, no hardware inventory, no crops being harvested, nothing."
