Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec mentioned how Elon Musk, after having bought Twitter, is using the platform to call out organizations that he considers to be pro-censorship.

"Because Elon Musk is making these moves, he's ruffling some feathers," Posobiec said.


Comment: More and more it's being revealed what a huge thorn in the side of the elites Elon Musk is becoming. Their loss of Twitter as a propaganda platform is obviously a serious blow, even though one would think it's rather mundane.

Flashback Neo-Nazis and the Far Right Are On the March in Ukraine

Five years ago, Ukraine's Maidan uprising ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, to the cheers and support of the West. Politicians and analysts in the United States and Europe not only celebrated the uprising as a triumph of democracy, but denied reports of Maidan's ultranationalism, smearing those who warned about the dark side of the uprising as Moscow puppets and useful idiots. Freedom was on the march in Ukraine.

Today, increasing reports of far-right violence, ultranationalism, and erosion of basic freedoms are giving the lie to the West's initial euphoria. There are neo-Nazi pogroms against the Roma, rampant attacks on feminists and LGBT groups, book bans, and state-sponsored glorification of Nazi collaborators.

These stories of Ukraine's dark nationalism aren't coming out of Moscow; they're being filed by Western media, including US-funded Radio Free Europe (RFE); Jewish organizations such as the World Jewish Congress and the Simon Wiesenthal Center; and watchdogs like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Freedom House, which issued a joint report warning that Kiev is losing the monopoly on the use of force in the country as far-right gangs operate with impunity.

Five years after Maidan, the beacon of democracy is looking more like a torchlight march.

Comment: This article describes perfectly clear what Vladimir Putin meant when Russia started the special operation for denazification and demilitarisation in Ukraine. Now we can see from a better perspective what is going on in Ukraine and against what kind of evil is Russia fighting in Ukraine.

'Don't patronize us', India reminds EU official it has abstained over numerous UN resolutions regarding proxy-war in Ukraine

India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, TS Tirumurti, has accused the Netherlands of "patronizing" his country after the Dutch ambassador to the UK publicly scolded New Delhi for abstaining on UN General Assembly resolutions on the war in Ukraine.

"Kindly don't patronise us, Ambassador. We know what to do," Tirumurti wrote in a tweet to Dutch envoy Karel van Oosterom on Thursday.

Tirumurti's tweet came in response to van Oosterom's (now-deleted) warning that India "should not have abstained" from votes pertaining to Russia and the war in Ukraine and that it should "respect the UN Charter."

Comment: This comes on the heels of recently ousted PM Imran Khan who, also in response to Western pressure, said: 'Are we your slaves?'

The great currency reset and why Europe is trapped

There's a lot of news flying around about the changes happening in global currency trading.

From "Gas for Rubles" to "What the Hell is Going on With the Yen?" there are a lot of questions and very few answers as to what it all means and whose on which side of the divide.

The Fed just hiked 50 basis points for the first time since 2000 and will be running off its balance sheet forcing the Treasury to stop issuing new debt at stupid rates. The European Union unveiled a sixth sanctions package against Russia which calls for a complete embargo of all Russian oil.

Further to this the EU is now aping what the Trump Administration tried to do to Iran in 2018, sanctioning all services, including insurance, to all shippers of oil from doing any business with Russia and sanctioned Russian banks.
The bloc is proposing to ban European vessels and companies from providing services — including insurance — linked to the transportation of Russian oil and products globally as part of its new sanctions package, according to officials and a draft document seen by Bloomberg.

While member states are still wrangling over the terms, it's a potentially powerful tool because 95% of the world's tanker liability cover is arranged through a London-based insurance organization called the International Group of P&I Clubs that has to heed European law.
These sanctions, effectively politicizing every aspect of international business and trade, are ultimately nothing more than short-term annoyances for Russia or anyone else.

It betrays a mindset that cares nothing for the downstream effects of these actions and, if anything, betrays the desperation felt in Brussels today about its position in the global market.

The 'Bill of Temporary Privileges': Americans have no rights

Last week, the director of National Intelligence, the data-gathering and data-concealing arm of the American intelligence community masquerading as the head of it, revealed that in 2021, the FBI engaged in 3.4 million warrantless electronic searches of Americans. This is a direct and profound violation of the right to privacy in "persons, houses, papers, and effects" guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment.

For the past 60 years, the Supreme Court has characterized electronic surveillance as a search that can only be conducted pursuant to a warrant issued by a judge based on probable cause of crime, which itself must be presented under oath to the judge. The warrant must specifically describe the place to be searched and the person or thing to be seized.

By failing to comply with these constitutional requirements, the FBI violated the natural and constitutionally protected right to be left alone of millions of Americans.

Yet, all of this was perfectly lawful. How can government behavior be both lawful and unconstitutional at the same time and in the same respect?

Leftists direct protesters to intimidate conservative Supreme Court justices at their homes

Leftist activists are directing protestors to confront conservative Supreme Court Justices at their homes in Maryland and Virginia.

Justices John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Amy Coney Barrett, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, and Neil Gorsuch are all targets by an organization called, "Ruth Sent Us." The organization has published the justices' supposed home addresses online for the radical protestors to locate.

Ruth seems to be a reference to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was an ardent defender of the right to abortion. But this group's use of her name is ironic, because Ginsburg was very collegial with her conservatives colleagues, including her best friend, Justice Antonin Scalia, and because Ginsburg criticized Roe as a bad decision, despite agreeing with its conclusion.

The group's website states:
"Our 6-3 extremist Supreme Court routinely issues rulings that hurt women, racial minorities, LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights. We must rise up to force accountability using a diversity of tactics."
The website also asked protestors to "rise up May 8-15 and beyond... At the homes of the six extremist justices, three in Virginia and three in Maryland." The site says the main protest is scheduled for May 11.

Comment: Disintegration is running the gamut. The goal: Total disengagement of society.

US nuclear commander warns of deterrence 'crisis' against Russia and China

The head of U.S. Strategic Command, which oversees the nuclear arsenal, warned Congress Wednesday that Washington faces a heightened nuclear deterrence risk when it comes to Russia and China. Adm. Charles Richard told the Senate's strategic forces panel:
"We are facing a crisis deterrence dynamic right now that we have only seen a few times in our nation's history. The war in Ukraine and China's nuclear trajectory — their strategic breakout — demonstrates that we have a deterrence and assurance gap based on the threat of limited nuclear employment."
Richard sits on the Nuclear Weapons Council, and his appearance came during the first hearing assembled by the Senate Armed Services strategic forces subcommittee. The panel was set to hear testimony from the interagency panel's six voting members who are tasked with managing nuclear policy.

Comment: If you don't want a deterrence problem, don't negate nuclear treaties!

Mexican president slams US while on tour of Central America

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador started a five-day tour to four Central American countries and Cuba on Thursday by lashing out at the U.S. government.

López Obrador criticized American officials sharply for being quick to send billions to Ukraine, while dragging their feet on development aid to Central America.

On his first stop in neighboring Guatemala, López Obrador demanded U.S. aid to stem the poverty and joblessness that sends tens of thousands of Guatemalans north to the U.S. border. The Mexican leader had been angered that the United States rebuffed his calls to help expand his tree-planting program to Central America.

López Obrador said:
"They are different things and they shouldn't be compared categorically, but they have already approved $30 billion for the war in Ukraine, while we have been waiting since President Donald Trump, asking they donate $4 billion, and as of today, nothing, absolutely nothing. Honestly, it seems inexplicable. For our part, we are going to continue to respectfully insist on the need for the United States to collaborate."
López Obrador's pet program, known as "Planting Life," pays farmers a monthly wage to plant and care for fruit and lumber trees on their farms.

Biden likely to avoid IRS audit that could've revealed if he made money from Hunter's deals

President Biden is likely to avoid an audit that could reveal whether he made money from his son Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings — because the Internal Revenue Service has rejected a whistleblower complaint that alleged he owes at least $127,000 in taxes, The Post has learned.

The IRS allows people to inform on fellow taxpayers and win a slice of the proceeds — prompting Chris Jacobs, a former Republican staffer on Capitol Hill, to submit complaints against Biden and his accountant, though he said he didn't want any financial reward.

Jacobs shared with The Post a reply from the IRS titled "denial" that explained that the government didn't use his information.

Tax law expert Bob Willens, who teaches at Columbia University's business school, said the rejection means Biden is likely to run out a three-year statute of limitations, meaning Republican claims that Biden owes up to $500,000 in taxes are unlikely to be resolved. He told The Post: "It looks like the question of whether the president underpaid his Medicare taxes will never be aired."

The dispute concerns more than $13 million that Joe and Jill Biden routed through S corporations in 2017 and 2018 to avoid paying a 3.8 percent Medicare tax on most of the haul by declaring a small part of it as "salary."

UK PM scuttled Kiev-Moscow peace talks - Ukrainian media

Last month's visit by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was key in persuading Kiev to break off peace negotiations with Moscow, the newspaper Ukrayinska Pravda (UP) reported on Thursday, citing officials close to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The West had originally advised Zelensky to flee because Russia would win in 72 hours, but was now backing him fully, they claimed.

According to the "behind-the-scenes look" at the ongoing crisis published in the Kiev-based outlet, Ukraine's western backers were convinced that the Russian military would seize Kiev within three days and offered Zelensky to govern from exile in London or Warsaw.

When this failed to happen, and Russia offered negotiations, Zelensky sent a delegation with the goal of creating the impression he was willing to make a deal. According to UP, the points of agreement made public by Russian envoy Vladimir Medinsky after the March 29 talks in Istanbul, Turkey "are in fact true."
