The Biden administration has asked some of the world's largest oil-consuming nations to consider releasing some of their crude reserves in a coordinated effort to lower prices and stimulate the economic recovery, according to several people familiar with the matter.

Global oil prices touched seven-year highs in late October as oil demand has rebounded nearly to pre-pandemic levels, faster than the pace of supply. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allied producers, led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, have been adding 400,000 barrels per day to the market on a monthly basis. They resisted calls this month from U.S. President Joe Biden for steeper boosts.

Comment: If the US really needed to increase global supplies it could remove the starvation sanctions on oil producing countries like Iran and Venezuela, except that would mean a set back in its plans to cripple those economies into submission:

The ranking members questioned AG Merrick Garland's willingness to maintain an apolitical DOJ.

Reps. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and James Comer, R-K.Y., joined Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., on Thursday in demanding information from the Justice Department (DOJ) regarding the recent raids of Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe's residence and those of his associates.

Jordan, Comer and Johnson, who are the ranking members of the House Judiciary Committee, the House Oversight Committee and the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, respectively, also suggested in their letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland that he has failed to uphold his promise to maintain an apolitical DOJ.

Comment: Regardless of what the ACLU says, this is a clear attack by the powers that be on journalists using a trumped up charge to try and hurt them. Project Veritas has been a thorn in the side of governments ever since they came on the scene and it's clear they want them taken out.

The COP26 climate summit and 'sustainability' agenda: Whitney Webb discusses global elites' takeover of nature

A cartel of international bankers is attempting to use the climate crisis to rewrite international capitalism for their own benefit.

As world leaders, celebrities, business moguls and activists alike descended on Scotland for the COP26 climate summit, behind the scenes powerful financial groups were and are attempting to rewrite the rules of international trade and to privatize nature under the guise of sustainability.

While there has been a great deal of finger pointing, the enormous and tangible changes necessary to steer the planet away from devastation are yet to appear. The world is still on course to warm 2.4°C above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century, according to a report from Climate Action Tracker. Anything above 2°C is generally considered to be catastrophic and could lead to societal collapse across the globe.


Comment: The interviewer/author would do well to bone up on what is actually occurring with the climate and why. Groups like the "Climate Action Tracker" are likely paid by the very same groups as the ones being discussed in the interview - to promote the idea of anthropomorphic global warming, and thereby profit immensely by it.


While high politics has understandably made the headlines, a cartel of international bankers is attempting to use the crisis to rewrite international capitalism for their own benefit.

Appearing on Fox News Wednesday, Senator Rand Paul continued his long running exposition of Anthony Fauci, warning viewers that Fauci's latest comments provide yet another example of how brazenly "authoritarian" he is.

Fauci stated earlier this week that Americans have a "misplaced perception" about individual rights as regards "societal safety".

Members of the European Parliament concerned about the EU not revealing details of its contracts with vaccine makers

As some Europeans continue to resist mandatory vaccine measures, a group of parliamentarians have upbraided the Commission for allowing pharmaceutical companies to 'run roughshod over democracy.'

One of the most important lessons people learn early in life is to never plunk down hard-earned cash on a product before reading all of the fine print contained in the contract. 'Caveat emptor,' as every subject of the Roman Empire instinctively understood.

Yet, it seems that few bureaucrats in Brussels have purchased a new home, used car or some newfangled device lately, because that's exactly what these bumbling fools have done. In an effort to 'protect the health of their constituents,' they bought millions of batches of Covid vaccines from various pharmaceutical companies without letting lawmakers sneak a peek at the contracts.

Comment: What is happening in the EU reflects a development and a phenomenon one can reflect on, as many have already done.

OSHA temporarily suspends enforcement of Biden's vaccine mandate

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has suspended implementation and enforcement of the Biden administration's vaccine mandate for private employers after a federal court blocked the measure.

The OSHA website page dedicated to the COVID Vaccine Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) reads: "While OSHA remains confident in its authority to protect workers in emergencies, OSHA has suspended activities related to the implementation and enforcement of the ETS pending future developments in the litigation."

Comment: A number of world leaders have stated outright that the real reason for these mandates is to 'persuade' the remaining unvaccinated into joining the world's largest experiment. Because, for some reason, that isn't backed by any science or reason, governments worldwide are hellbent on injecting as many people population as they can. Where the threat of mandates hasn't worked, actual mandates are now being enforced - on the less influential professions at first - and now lockdowns for the unvaccinated are being trialled.

The legality surrounding much of this manufactured crisis has been subject to numerous legal challenges and even court rulings deeming lockdowns, the restrictions, and the vaccine authorizations, to be unconstitutional, only for these just rulings to be overturned by more powerful government bodies; and so it remains to be seen whether this particular suspension will become permanent.

One wonders whether the mass walk outs and the threat of others, particularly with Christmas period up ahead, played a part in the temporary suspension of the vaccine mandate. Because, at least in the US, a number of high profile mass walkouts certainly showed that if the mandates went ahead there could be serious issues keeping the country running: Also check out SOTT radio's: NewsReal: Covid Cases Among the Vaxxed Explode...

Enough is enough: Russia cuts ties with belligerent NATO

Lavrov Nato
On October 18th, Russia announced it would formally suspend its mission with the NATO alliance, including ending official communication. This is a significant event but not totally shocking to anyone who has been paying attention to post-Soviet Russian relations with NATO. It's important to look at what led up to Russia deciding it had enough and that it was no longer worth having an official relationship with the western military alliance as there is a lengthy historical context to the breakdown.

NATO had just expelled eight Russian diplomats for espionage activities but provided no public evidence or details on these serious allegations. But this was just the immediate event that provided the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.

Post-Cold War Triumphalism

The problem started with the triumphalist attitude that eventually prevailed in Washington after the end of the Cold War. President Ronald Reagan intentionally took the approach during negotiations with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev that ended the Cold War that doing so would be in the interests of both countries. It was characterized at the time as a negotiated settlement that benefited all parties involved and not a defeat. Reagan's successor George H.W. Bush adopted the same attitude until it was time to campaign for his reelection, during which he bragged that the U.S. had won the Cold War.

HHS' internal memo rolling back Trump-era religious liberty protections is expected to be rolled out this week

The Health and Human Services Department (HHS) is considering revoking authority the former Trump administration delegated for the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) to prevent violations of religious liberty - prompting concerns about conscience protections under Secretary Xavier Becerra.

A draft memo obtained by Fox News targets two actions related to the First Amendment from earlier this year, and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), which prohibits federal infringements on the free exercise of religion.

The RFRA delegation came on Dec. 7, 2017, in response to the administration's broader efforts to beef up religious liberty protections. Citing President Trump's executive order on the issue, former Attorney General Jeff Sessions provided executive agencies with a long list of guidelines on RFRA, free exercise claims, contraception in insurance plans and other issues.

Multiple federal agencies are looking into 15 vials - including five alarmingly labeled as 'smallpox' - that were discovered at a pharmaceutical lab outside of Philadelphia Tuesday night.

The vials, 10 of which were labeled 'vaccinia' after the virus used to make smallpox vaccines, were discovered by a lab worker who was cleaning out a freezer, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Smallpox was eradicated in 1980 with a successful mass vaccination campaign after it killed an estimated 300 million people in the 20th century alone.

FDA asks Federal Judge to grant it until the year 2076 to fully release Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine data

The FDA has asked a federal judge to make the public wait until the year 2076 to disclose all of the data and information it relied upon to license Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine. That is not a typo. It wants 55 years to produce this information to the public.

As explained in a prior article, the FDA repeatedly promised "full transparency" with regard to Covid-19 vaccines, including reaffirming "the FDA's commitment to transparency" when licensing Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine.

With that promise in mind, in August and immediately following approval of the vaccine, more than 30 academics, professors, and scientists from this country's most prestigious universities requested the data and information submitted to the FDA by Pfizer to license its COVID-19 vaccine.

The FDA's response? It produced nothing. So, in September, my firm filed a lawsuit against the FDA on behalf of this group to demand this information. To date, almost three months after it licensed Pfizer's vaccine, the FDA still has not released a single page. Not one.

Comment: An update to the document release by Aaron Siri.
A prior post explained that the FDA has asked a federal judge to make the public wait until the year 2076 to disclose all of the data and information it relied upon to license Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine. Literally, a 55-year delay. My firm, on behalf of PHMPT, asked that this information be disclosed in 108 days - the same amount of time it took for the FDA to review and license Pfizer's vaccine.

The Court ordered the parties to submit briefs in support of their respective positions by December 6, 2021. The FDA's brief, incredibly, doubles down. It now effectively asks to have until at least 2096 to produce the Pfizer documents. Not a typo. A total of at least 75 years.
