Capitol Police Fired Exploding Flash Grenade Into Peaceful Crowd of Men, Women and Children on January 6th

Democrat narrative that Capitol protest was “armed insurrection” by Trump supporters collapsing by the day.

New shocking footage from the January 6th Capitol protest shows the moment a flash bang grenade lobbed by police explodes within a crowd of nonviolent Trump supporters.

The video, obtained by The Gateway Pundit, shows a throng of Trump flag-waving supporters peacefully protesting well outside the Capitol building steps when a flash bang grenade is seen sailing into and exploding among the crowd.

Flash bang grenades at close range can cause hearing loss, eye damage and other injuries.

This footage is yet more evidence that the chaos that ensued outside the Capitol was instigated by Capitol police, not the Trump supporters.

Recently, more exonerating footage was released by American Greatness showing police firing upon nonviolent Trump supporters with stun guns.

Inflation’s Surprise Spring Offensive

by Michael J. Kosares
GoldSeek

“It’s always been right to be skeptical when someone says ‘this is the year that inflation comes back,’” says M&G Investments Jim Leaviss in a recent Financial Times Big Read. “But for the first time, you can say this time is different. The pandemic might be the systemic earthquake that changes the inflation outlook we have been used to for the past 30 years.” To be sure, the FT editorial followed on the heels of government data showing solid gains in wholesale and retail inflation. A week later the Commerce Department reported a much higher than expected increase in the Personal Consumption Expenditure index – the Fed’s favored inflation indicator.

“There is an entire generation of traders,” warns Franklin Templeton’s chief investment officer Sonal Desai in that same editorial, “who have grown up investing in the post-global financial crisis world of no inflation. People shouldn’t underestimate how uncertain things will look if we are entering a new paradigm.” As always, there is the issue of summertime and whether or not the world can be put on hold while thoughts turn to leisurely pursuits. Perhaps this year, as we come out of the pandemic lockdown, that need is more pressing than in most. At the same time, for the reasons just mentioned, this might also be a year to remain on alert. We could be in for more and even nastier inflationary surprises as the summer unfolds.

Obama Administration Used Foreign Intelligence Service to Spy on U.S. Allies in Europe

by Ryan Saavedra
Daily Wire

Former Democrat President Barack Obama’s administration reportedly spied on U.S. allies in Europe and top European politicians – including German Chancellor Angela Merkel – by using Denmark’s Defense Intelligence Service (FE).

“The findings are the result of a 2015 internal investigation in the Danish Defense Intelligence Service into NSA’s role in the partnership,” Reuters reported. “According to the investigation, which covered the period from 2012 to 2014, the NSA used Danish information cables to spy on senior officials in Sweden, Norway, France and Germany, including former German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier and former German opposition leader Peer Steinbrück.”

Governor Ron DeSantis Responds to Critics of Women’s Sports Measure: ‘We’re Protecting Women Against Discrimination’

by Hannah Bleau
Breitbart.com

JACKSONVILLE, Florida — Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Tuesday signed a measure to protect girls’ and women’s sports, emphasizing the state’s commitment to protecting girls from far-left attempts to allow biological boys to compete in women’s athletics.

Speaking from Trinity Christian Academy on Tuesday, the Republican governor said the bill will ensure that opportunities are protected for young women.

“In Florida, girls are going to play girls sports, and boys are going to play boys sports,” he said, prompting applause in the room.

Many far-left critics, however, have cast such measures as both discriminatory and harmful to children. Florida State Sen. Victor Torres (D), for example, claimed the would effectively “destroy the lives of those children and their futures.”

Biden’s $2.3 Trillion Infrastructure Boondoggle: What Would You Cut?

Biden proposes spending $2.3 trillion. Republicans propose $928 billion, up from $568 billion. What would you cut?

by Mike ‘Mish’ Shedlock
Mish Talk

Charts in this post are from the WSJ article Biden’s Infrastructure Plan Visualized: How the $2.3 Trillion Would Be Allocated.

The Republican Counterproposal was originally $568 billion but is now $928 billion.

My starting point idea is midway between the Republican’s initial offering and their recent cave-in ($928 + $568) / 2 = $748 billion.

Regarding Electric Vehicles, I would scrap all purchase subsidies but toss the money at genuine infrastructure.

Inflation is a Dangerous Way to Get Rid of Debt Burdens

by Richard M. Ebeling
The American Institute for Economic Research

Suppose you lent someone $100, and when they paid you back they only handed you, say, $99 or $80. Would you consider the borrower to have kept his promise and contractual obligation? Or would you think that he had cheated you out of a part of the money you had lent him in good faith? Well, there are those who say that doing so is just fine, if it’s done through price inflation so the borrower repays the lender in depreciated dollars.

Binyamin Appelbaum, who makes this argument, is the lead writer for The New York Times on financial and economic affairs. He approaches economic and social policy issues from a consciously “progressive” perspective on the regulatory role and redistributive responsibility of the U.S. federal government. Indeed, he is so “progressive” in his thinking that in a recent article on the opinion page of The New York Times, Mr. Appelbaum made it clear that he considers FDR’s New Deal to be, well, almost socially “reactionary.”

Washington Post Becomes Latest Media Outlet to Walk Back “Debunked Conspiracy Theory” Wuhan Lab Leak Coverage

Wrong again.

by Paul Joseph Watson
Summit News

The Washington Post has become the latest media outlet to reverse its earlier insistence that the Wuhan lab leak theory was a “debunked conspiracy theory.”

The newspaper published an article in February 2020 by Paulini Firozi labeling the explanation a “debunked conspiracy theory” but has now been forced to issue a retraction.

“Earlier versions of this story and its headline inaccurately characterized comments by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) regarding the origins of the coronavirus,” states the retraction. “The term “debunked” and the Post’s use of “conspiracy theory” have been removed because, then as now, there was no determination about the origins of the virus.”

Without Truth There is No Freedom

by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
PaulCraigRoberts.org

June brings my quarterly request for donations. Your financial support for the website tells me that my efforts are valued and worthwhile. Your donations support me in standing up to the smears. Telling the truth in America in these days is a punished, not a rewarded, activity.

The United States is best understood today as the Disunited States. There is less unity than in 1860. Civility is gone from debate; indeed, debate itself is gone. Integrity and respect for truth have lost out to worship of money and the rule of power. Ideology has shoved aside facts.

Money and power are all. We have seen this in the intentional exaggeration of the Covid threat for Big Pharma profits and the institutionalization of arbitrary government power over civil liberty. Today, with the exception of some free Red states, such as Florida, in the Disunited States our exercise of our civil liberty requires the government’s permission. You are free only by the government’s permission. In other words, the US Constitution has lost its authority. We now live under the authority of the power seekers.

Japanese Researchers Use Soybean Compound to Turn Male Fish Into Females

Isoflavone successfully used as a gender bender.

by Paul Joseph Watson
Info Wars

A team of researchers in Japan has succeeded in using a compound found in soybeans similar in effect to female hormones to turn male catfish into females.

“The team, from Kindai University’s Aquaculture Research Institute and based at the institute’s Shingu Station in Shingu, Wakayama Prefecture, used isoflavone — a compound found in soybeans similar in effect to female hormones — to create the all-female groups of catfish. The feat is a Japan first, according to the university,” reports The Mainichi.

The technique is being applied in order to boost production efficiency because females grow quicker to a required shipping weight of around 600 grams.

“Though it has been known that administering female hormone turns male catfish into females, this method is banned for fish for human consumption,” states the report. “So Ineno came up with the idea of using soybean isoflavone, which is sold commercially as a dietary supplement.”

SHTF Plan

Melbourne, Australia has pretty much been in a state of fear and panic since last March. Now, 51 new cases of the scamdemic have the ruling class threatening to keep them in a perpetual state of lockdown.

Reuters reported that 5 new cases were discovered over the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of COVID cases in the Melbourne cluster to 51. Remember, the tyrants will use any excuse necessary to enslave humanity:

Australia Institutes Strict Lockdowns AGAIN After 26 Tested Positive For COVID

This isn’t left vs. right. This is master vs. slave, and at this point, the other slaves seem content to comply. Even with Australia’s notoriously stringent COVID-19 restrictions, a few cases have managed to slip by, reported ZeroHedge, and that could mean the latest lockdown will continue.

Basel III Regulations is a Growing Threat to Comex

from King World News

Basel 3 regulations is a growing threat to Comex.

May 28 (King World News) – Alasdair Macleod: Gold and silver continued to rally this week, with gold challenging the $1900 level and silver $28. From last Friday’s close, gold rose a net $12 to trade at $1892 in European trading this morning, and silver by 16 cents at $27.67. Gold hit a high of $1912.70 on Wednesday on very heavy volume, and silver $28.23.

Comex trading in gold was remarkable, with open interest plunged 20,718 contracts on a rising price on Tuesday. Admittedly, by the close of business the price had come back under control, closing down $3 on the day. It is worth making two points. The first is that the squeeze was on some of the Swaps (bullion bank trading desks – more on this below) and the second is tonight’s Commitment of Traders’ report is for the close of play on Tuesday. Could there be an element of window dressing involved?..

The ‘Woke’ Fed

by Dr. Ron Paul
Ron Paul Institute

President Joe Biden has ordered the Financial Stability Oversight Council to prepare a report on how the financial system can mitigate the risks related to climate change. The Financial Stability Oversight Council was created through the Dodd-Frank financial regulatory reform act and is supposed to identify and monitor excessive risk to the financial system. The council is composed of the heads of the major federal financial regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is no doubt pleased with Biden’s order. Powell has been pushing for the Fed to join other central banks in fighting climate change. Among the ways the Fed could try to mitigate the risks related to climate change is by using its regulatory authority to “encourage” banks to lend to “green” businesses and deny capital to “polluters.”

Go Have a Holiday, Eh?

by Karl Denninger

So CumDumpster-in-SemiChief thinks we should go have a long weekend eh?

I think she should wear six masks — since they’d serve as chastity belts. Even better, maybe she should make double-extra-sure and tape a nice, thick trash bag over them so nothing gets in.

As for PedoJoe, he still creeps on little kids. The latest is a girl who Biden said “looks 19, sitting there like a little lady with her legs crossed” in a speech.

It appears, from the clips I’ve seen, that the girl is somewhere between eight and ten years old — in other words, in elementary school.

Who the hell says something like that?

A Culture of Fear

by Jonathan M. Finegold Catalan
Mises.org

Upon the collapse of the Soviet Union, Soviet foreign spokesman Gennadi Gerasimov warned the United States, “We have done the most terrible thing to you that we could possibly have done. We have deprived you of an enemy.”

For nearly half a century, the elusive threat posed by the Soviet Union formed the basis of American foreign and domestic policy. Much of the United States’ political and economic development was in fact a product of the government’s exploitation of a supposed Soviet menace. Gerasimov recognized that the fall of communist Russia denied the American government the ability to exploit the fear of Marxism to its own benefit. It was as if the American government had lost its reason for being.

The United States has a long history of exploiting fear for the purpose of legitimizing its growth. The current generations of American citizens are direct witnesses to over eight decades of such exploitation.
