Here’s How Wealthy Some of America’s Most Prominent Socialists Are

by Dylan Housman
DailyCaller.com

Some of America’s highest-profile advocates for socialism live quite luxurious lifestyles compared to average, working-class Americans. The average income for individual Americans is $35,977; for a household, it’s $68,703.

Socialism has become a more popular political ideology in recent years in the U.S., particularly among young people. One reason may be the advocacy of major celebrities and public officials. Here’s how comfortably some of them are living:

Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders

Bernie Sanders burst into the national consciousness in 2016 when he ran for the Democratic presidential nomination against Hillary Clinton by railing against millionaires and billionaires. He’s since dropped the “millionaires” part in many of his speeches and proposals, perhaps in part due to the fact that he is one himself.

Why is There Such Reluctance to Discuss Natural Immunity?

by Jon Sanders
The American Institute for Economic Research

If you’re among those of us who aren’t tribally invested in Covid politics but would like good information about when life will resume as normal, chances are you’re interested in herd immunity. You’re likely not interested in having to rely on the Internet Archive for good information on herd immunity. Alas, it’s become a go-to place for retrieving, as it were, previously published information on herd immunity that became inconvenient post-vaccine and then virtually Memory-Holed.

Over the past 15 months, the litany of Experts’ True Facts and Science regarding various aspects of SARS-CoV-2 has changed more often than the starting lineup of a bad minor league ball club. Covid-19 is spread by droplets, especially from asymptomatic people, until one day it was airborne all along and people who weren’t sick in all likelihood weren’t even sick.

Scientist at Center of Lab Leak Controversy Put in Charge of the Lancet’s Task Force to Investigate Virus Origin

ANYBODY but this guy would be more suitable

by Steve Watson
Summit News

Revered scientific journal The Lancet has created a ‘task force’ to investigate the origins of the coronavirus that caused a global pandemic, yet it has decided to employ as its leader the very guy who funded the dangerous gain of function research at the Wuhan lab and subsequently allegedly ‘bullied’ other scientists into avoiding looking into the lab as a potential source of the outbreak.

In the wake of renewed scrutiny of the lab leak hypothesis, the Lancet’s task force will reportedly “focus on analyzing data on all of the theories put forward on the origins of COVID, on the reasons why SARS-CoV-2 was able to break out of Wuhan and spread globally, and on the most plausible strategies to prevent future pandemics.”

Facebook to Reverse Protection for Political Speech

by Penka Arsova
LaCorte News

Facebook reportedly intends to nix its rule that shielded politicians on the platform from some scrutiny from the company and its fact-checkers.

How we got here: Facebook has, in recent years, faced mounting criticism from conservatives who accused the platform of bias against their political beliefs.

The company jas rejected such claims and said that it tries to stay away from politics as much as possible, pointing to its policy that allows political speech on the platform to go largely unchecked. That means it’s not subject to the company’s strikes and other penalties like regular users when their content is deemed to break Facebook’s rules.

In 2019, Facebook vice president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, said that Facebook will view political speech as “newsworthy” and therefore should be “seen and heard.” Facebook also said politicians’ original posts will be exempt from its third-party “fact-checking” program, for the most part.

Biden to Confront Putin with Human Rights Issue

by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
PaulCraigRoberts.org

The American whore media with a straight face reports that Biden intends to confront Putin at their meeting with “the human rights issue.” One can only marval at the audacity of this intention. The US government is the leading abuser of human rights. Think Serbia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, the overthrown Latin American democratic governments, and Washington’s protection of Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians.

On an individual basis think Julian Assange who Washington has managed to keep imprisoned for a decade without charges presented in court and conviction. Even Stalin gave his victims performa due process.

Washington gets away with accusing others of its own crimes because the Western presstitutes cover up for Washington and only the Chinese point out Washington’s hypocrisy.

Oracle VP Dies of “Covid” After Receiving Second Vaccine Injection

By refusing to report the facts and timeline so the public can connect the dots, the mainstream media is signaling that everyone still needs to get injected.

by Ethan Huff | Natural News
Info Wars

Joel R. Kallman, the head of software development for Oracle APEX, died from “covid” just days after receiving his second mRNA injection for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19).

On March 26, Kallman tweeted to his followers that he had received his first Chinese Virus shot and was proud to have created “v-safe,” a smartphone-based tool to remind others to also get theirs.

About a month later, right on schedule, Kallman received his second Wuhan Flu injection and subsequently died on May 25, prompting Oracle and the mainstream media to immediately declare that he died from “covid.”

“We’re heartbroken to share that Joel Kallman has passed away from Covid-19 on May 25th,” Oracle APEX tweeted right after Kallman’s death was revealed. “He was 54.”

Gold Bull Alert: Rampant Inflation and Destruction of Money Will Continue for Years to Come

from King World News

With the price of gold surging more than $20, a gold bull alert says the rampant inflation and destruction of money we have been witnessing will continue for years to come.

“Transitory Inflation”—Sublime Yet Ridiculous

June 4 (King World News) – Matthew Piepenburg at Matterhorn Asset Management (based in Switzerland): History is a funny thing, almost as funny as human nature. The markets, including their latest meme of “transitory inflation,” are no exception to such psychological tragi-comedy.

Transitory Hope, Timeless Lies

By late 1864, for example, as Union forces under General Grant bore closer to Richmond at the tail-end of a long and passionate civil war of which a grossly outnumbered Confederate Army was by then destined to lose, hope nevertheless sprung eternal from the politicians in Richmond.

The Sky’s the Limit with Chris Vermeulen

from Kerry Lutz's Financial Survival Network

Chris Vermeulen returns… Gold A very bullish pattern. People following it are already bullish. The US Dollar is ready to resume a strong upward rally. It will help them consolidate. We’re at resistance now. We could see 1950. Selling in the stock market initially causes selling in the metals. Silver has been heading towards $30 but can’t make it. Once it does the sky’s the limit. Stocks we’re in a no man’s land right now. We’re getting a lot of signs towards a pullback consolidation, but the market is still in a bull market. Inflows into the NYSE is showing that the FOMO trade is alive and well. Big money is selling into the buyers. We need a consolidation to flush out weak holders. Meme stocks are dead eventually. Bitcoin is bearish. Parabolic moves get slammed. Masses pile in and it’s done for now. It’s done this 6 times since 2010. This bullish move is over. Bull market has retraced 50 percent. A chart is a chart is a chart. Interest Rates Could very well to continue sideways. It could rocket higher or collapse. Whichever way it breaks there’s going to be huge. Oil could hit $88, Chris called it months ago that it would go to 62-64. Now he believes $78 and $88 are obtainable. Energy companies are on fire. If crude holds the breakout it could really surprise and go higher.

Life in Post-Pandemic America with Carl Gould

from Kerry Lutz's Financial Survival Network

Carl Gould notes that the changes in business that happened during the pandemic are here to stay. Just because the pandemic is over, curbside service, contact-free payment, off-hour services, are not going away. These changes are now permanent. Delivery services for food and other products are here to stay. Masks were a fad and will soon become novelty items. Perhaps given out as premiums. Retailers need to re-position and figure out what their business really is. Effectively, they’re consultants. Retailers need to up their game. Will people now desert Walmart and Target now that the pandemic is over? Perhaps.

Fauci Lied & People Died, Election Audit Wave, Gold Shines

by Greg Hunter
USA Watchdog

It’s not a stretch to say Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), lied and people died. It’s now been revealed, through release of Dr. Fauci’s emails, that he lied about the virus escaping from a lab in China. Even Fauci’s own boss, Dr. Francis Collins (Head of the NIH) admitted that tax dollars paid for virus experiments in Wuhan, China. There were even more lies exposed with the emails that stopped people from getting treatment that would have saved lives. Now, many are calling for his firing and some for criminal prosecution. Fauci said Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) was not effective in treating CV19 and was dangerous for treating it when the exact opposite was true. Peer reviewed science says HCQ is effective when given early on, and it was very safe. Look for Fauci to be out of a job by the end of the month.

The election audit in Maricopa County, Arizona, is 60% finished. The audit is looking at the 2.1 million ballots from the 2020 election, and now other states, such as Pennsylvania and Georgia, are looking at Arizona to see how it’s being done. This election audit wave is not going to be stopped, and it appears to be picking up steam.

As Tapering Nears, Beijing Drains Dollar Liquidity

from Zero Hedge

By Ye Xie, Bloomberg reporter and Markets Live commentator

Good economic news is bad news for markets now.

A better-than-expected ADP jobs report sent the dollar and bond yields higher and stocks lower Thursday. A strong payroll report Friday would give more ammunition for folks calling for earlier QE tapering. In a sense, policy normalization has already started after the Fed announced plans to wind down its emergency corporate-credit facility. From that perspective, the peak of liquidity is near.

In China, the authorities are already mopping up the dollar liquidity awash in its domestic market. On Thursday, two Chinese policy banks, China Development Bank and the Export-Import Bank of China, announced selling of dollar notes in the onshore market, the first such sales in years. It followed a move Monday when the PBOC required lenders to hold more foreign currencies in reserve.

Another Day in the Fed’s Casino: How the Reddit Rowdies and Meme Mob Jumped the Shark

by David Stockman
LewRockwell.com

Back in the day, farmers sometimes had to slam their mules between the eyes with a 2X4 to get their attention. Alas, that treatment is being administered to the Fed heads on practically a daily basis by the stock market gamblers, yet these stubborn inflation-deniers pay no attention at all.

In fact, they keep insisting there is no inflation problem, when a virulent monetary inflation thunders all around, and insist that no material financial asset bubbles are visible, when we are in the midst of the most unhinged speculative manias of all time.

For want of doubt, consider the 118% gain today in the close-to-dead movie theater chain business of AMC Entertainment. The Reddit Rowdies and their Meme Mob affiliates truly outdid themselves, bringing AMC’s market cap to an insane $31 billion at its closing peak.

Abolish ICE? Actually, Biden’s Budget Proposal Hikes Spending on America’s Immigration Cops.

More spending on more intrusive government is the Biden agenda all the way down.

by Eric Boehm
Reason.com

At a political rally in Georgia two months ago, President Joe Biden was interrupted by a small but loud group of protestors demanding that he “abolish” Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the branch of the Department of Homeland Security that’s responsible for capturing and deporting undocumented immigrants.

“I agree with you,” Biden offered, after halting his speech to engage briefly with the chanting activists. “I’m working on it, man. Give me another five days.”

Roughly five weeks later, Biden’s first presidential budget proposal has arrived. It shows that the president isn’t planning to abolish ICE at all. In fact, he’s asking Congress to spend even more on America’s immigration cops—a development that sits uncomfortably alongside political rhetoric on both sides of the aisle.

Stock Market Officially a Bad Joke: AMC Warns Buyers of its New Shares: Don’t Buy “Unless You Are Prepared” to Lose “All or Substantial Portion of Your Investment”

by Wolf Richter
Wolf Street

A joke where everyone is making fun of everyone in grand & crazy pump-and-dump schemes. But I can’t blame AMC. I blame the Fed.

AMC Entertainment Holdings – whose shares became the incredibly spiking #1 the-zoo-has-gone-nuts meme stock in recent days, multiplying by a factor of 6 in seven trading days, before plunging today – announced in an SEC filing early this morning that would try to sell 11.55 million shares to retail investors, with B. Riley Securities and Citigroup Global Markets as sales agents.

Let the cold-calling begin. AMC will pay the sales agents “up to 2.5% of gross sales” in commissions plus reimburse them for certain expenses. The share sales will be conducted whenever, in bits and pieces, via this “at-the-market” offering.

Central Banks Operating in Stealth at the Heart of the London Gold Market

by Ronan Manly
Bullion Star

While many people will be familiar with the term ‘London Gold Market’, most will have little knowledge about its inner workings, especially when it comes to how, and to what extent, the world’s central banks trade and lend gold in London through the Bank of England and the LBMA bullion banks.

And that’s the way they like to keep it. Never in the history of financial markets has there been a trading venue that has been more opaque, more secretive, and more impenetrable than the London Gold Market. Especially when it comes to central bank gold operations.

That the London Gold Market (meaning the wholesale market) is controlled by a cabal of LBMA bullion banks is widely known, but what’s not so well understood is that within the core of this haze sits the Bank of England, overseeing, coordinating and facilitating the central banks of the world to conduct their gold transactions, including the ultra-secretive gold lending and gold swap transactions.
