Are you ready to become a 'digital asset' of the globalists' Great Reset?

Few are aware of it but the digitalization of the human race is advancing at break-neck speed.

Don't look now but the world is racing down a path that has been interlaid with landmines of control and surveillance and yet almost no Western politician of any party seems concerned enough to even talk about the impact this will have on personal privacy. If you're curious about what the near future holds, listen to technocrats like Bill Gates.

One year ago, in March 2020, as governments were shutting down their economies citing a mysterious virus, Gates did a series of media interviews calling for a globalized "digital certificate" for every human being on the planet.

He said this was the only way to keep up with who has the virus and who has been vaccinated. Note that no vaccine was known to be in the pipeline in March 2020, but Gates talked about the vaccine as if it was just around the corner. He knew.

In a March 18, 2020 "Ask Me Anything" online forum sponsored by Reddit, Gates was asked what changes needed to be made to the way businesses operate to ensure public health without ruining the economy.

Financial tyranny: Footing the tax bill for the government's fiscal insanity

We're not living the American dream. We're living a financial nightmare.

The U.S. government — and that includes the current administration — is spending money it doesn't have on programs it can't afford, and "we the taxpayers" are the ones who will be forced to foot the bill for the government's fiscal insanity.

We've been sold a bill of goods by politicians promising to pay down the national debt, jumpstart the economy, rebuild our infrastructure, secure our borders, ensure our security, and make us all healthy, wealthy and happy.

None of that has come to pass, and yet we've still been loaded down with debt not of our own making.

This financial tyranny works the same whether it's a Democrat or Republican at the helm.

Let's talk numbers, shall we?

Prince William calls for a 'Reset' - gosh, what can he mean?

Prince William has confirmed that he's at least as dodgy a kingly prospect as his father the Prince of Wales by calling for a 'Reset.'

William, who is second in line to the British throne, slipped the codeword into a video broadcast for the environmental charity Conservation International.

He said:
'All of us, across all sectors of society, and in every corner of the globe must come together to fundamentally reset our relationship with nature and our trajectory as a species.'
Others have criticised William (currently worth an estimated £30 million, though due one day to inherit a fortune of at least £1.6 billion) for this 'do as I say, rather than do as I do' hypocrisy. With his Range Rover and his air miles (some of them in private jets) William is hardly a role model for carbon parsimony, so why should we let him lecture us ordinary folk on how we should live our lives?

Ursula von der Leyen snubbed in chair gaffe at EU-Erdoğan talks

Ursula von der Leyen was left irritated after being sidelined during talks between the EU and Turkey in Ankara on Tuesday after her two male counterparts took the only available seats
Ursula von der Leyen, the European commission's first female president, was "surprised" after being left without a chair during a meeting of the EU's two presidents and Turkey's leader, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and has demanded such a snub is never repeated.

The German head of the commission was left visibly irritated at the start of the talks in Ankara with her two male counterparts, Erdoğan and Charles Michel, the former Belgian prime minister who is president of the European council.

"Ehm," she muttered, with a small gesticulation directed at the occupied seats, as Michel and Erdoğan settled themselves at the head of the gilded room in the presidential complex at the start of the talks.

Comment: The Daily Mail reports:
Von der Leyen's spokesman said afterwards that Turkey had breached protocol by failing to offer her a chair, as it has done to other male commission presidents in the past, but that she decided to 'prioritize substance over protocol' by staying.

Diplomatic protocol dictates that the EU commission president and council president, holding equal rank, should be seated in an equal manner.

None of the leaders mentioned the incident in press conferences held after the summit, but Von der Leyen's spokesman opened up about it today after footage of the moment went viral on social media.

The diplomatic incident was abundantly commented on social media.

European lawmaker Sophie in ´t Veld posted pictures of previous meetings between Michel´s and Von der Leyen´s predecessors with Erdogan, with the trio of men sitting in chairs next to each other.

'And no, it wasn´t a coincidence, it was deliberate,' in 't Veld wrote on Twitter, questioning why Michel remained 'silent.'

Last month, Erdogan pulled Turkey out of a key European convention aimed at combatting violence against women, triggering criticism from EU officials.

The move was a blow to Turkey´s women´s rights movement, which says domestic violence and murders of women are on the rise.

'Human rights issues are non-negotiable. We were very clear about that. We urge Turkey to reverse its decision because it is the first international binding instrument to combat violence against women and children,' she said.

Asked whether the commission regarded the incident as specifically gender-related, Mamer said Von der Leyen traveled to Ankara as the president of an EU institution.

Meanwhile Mr Michel used a post-meeting press conference to call on Turkey to resolve disputes with Greece and Cyprus over gas rights in the Mediterranean.

A row between Turkey and EU members Greece and Cyprus over offshore jurisdiction has strained ties, reaching a peak last summer when Turkish and Greek navy frigates escorted vessels exploring for hydrocarbons in disputed waters.

The European Union backs Athens, while Ankara has accused the bloc of bias and of not honouring its pledges under a 2016 migrant deal.

The visit by Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen follows an EU summit last month at which the bloc said work could begin on deeper trade ties and on providing more money for refugees in Turkey.

Despite concerns over what some European leaders call recent Turkish backsliding on human rights, the EU has applauded Ankara's recent withdrawal of vessels operating in disputed waters and restarting talks with Greece.

'In Ankara, ready with (von der Leyen) to start discussion with (Erdogan) on the future of EU-Turkey relations,' Michel said on Twitter.

'Sustained de-escalation is needed to build a more constructive agenda.'

The EU last month opened the door to begin updating a Customs Union as demanded by Ankara.

This would bring EU candidate Turkey into the internal market of the world's largest trading bloc and allow unhindered flow of goods and services.

Erdogan has downplayed EU membership in recent years and few analysts see it as imminent.

The EU chiefs, who last held in-person talks with Erdogan a year ago, were expected to present Ankara with three options if the maritime de-escalation continues, including improving economic ties, a formula to support the more than 4 million refugees in Turkey, and ways to increase contacts.

'We are no longer in an emergency situation so this is more about working for a longer-term perspective,' an EU official said.

At the summit last month, the EU also warned Ankara of sanctions if it restarts energy exploration in disputed waters and voiced concern over Turkey's human rights record.

Michel and Von der Leyen are expected in Ankara to stress that the EU will not approve closer ties without fundamental rights being honoured.

Both the EU and the United States have criticised a move by Turkey to abruptly withdraw from a convention protecting women from violence, as well as a legal case to shut down the third biggest party, the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party.

The female aide who's accused Gov. Andrew Cuomo of groping her broke her silence to provide a vivid account of the alleged incident — describing how he "pulled me close" and stuck his hand under her blouse.

In her first public interview, the unidentified woman told the Albany Times Union in an article published Wednesday that she was summoned to the Executive Mansion to help Cuomo with his cellphone on a weekday in November.

When she entered his second-floor office, she said, Cuomo came out from behind the desk and aggressively embraced her in what she described as an overtly sexual manner "that wasn't just a hug."

Comment: What an absolute scumbag.

Biden to announce executive action on ghost guns, red flag laws

President Biden will announce on Thursday six executive actions geared towards preventing all forms of gun violence, including mass shootings, community violence, domestic violence and suicide.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) will issue a series of proposed rules aimed at restricting the proliferation of so-called ghost guns, encouraging states to adopt red flag laws and tightening loopholes around certain modified pistols.

The department is also expected to issue a comprehensive report on firearm trafficking for the first time since 2000, and Biden will make official his intent to nominate David Chipman, a gun control advocate, to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Israel complains (again) to ICC: You have no jurisdiction over us

Jerusalem has pointed to its own independent judiciary capable of trying soldiers who commit war crimes.

Israel will not cooperate with the International Criminal Court's investigation of Israel for alleged war crimes, top ministers decided on Thursday.

The state will argue in a letter of response to The Hague that the court has no jurisdiction to open the probe, consistent with Israel's longstanding position.

The letter will also declare that Israel rejects the accusation that it committed war crimes.

Israel is not a member of the ICC, and has a policy of not cooperating with it, such that it was unclear that the government would respond at all to the letter Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda sent to last month.

Comment: Israel's been singing this tune for a while, but still warning its officials to be careful, with some even canceling foreign trips for fear of being arrested. Still, the war criminal US backs them, so don't be holding your breath over any just punishment for Zionist regime.

After the Trump administration walked out of the agreement with Iran to reduce the nation's stockpile of enriched uranium in 2018, the United States is now preparing to hold up its end of the historic deal.

On Wednesday, State Department spokesperson Ned Price told reporters that the U.S. is prepared to "take the steps necessary to return to compliance" with the deal, known formally as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Though Price said he is "not in a position here to give you chapter and verse on what those might be," those measures will include "lifting sanctions that are inconsistent with" the stipulations of the Iran Deal secured by Barack Obama.

They're not even trying to make sense now, the US election & Russiagate prove that

The US intelligence community published a report on 10 March, widely reported in the US free speech news media, on foreign interference in the US election (how many oxymorons so far?). The report establishes a new level of idiocy on the long-running "Russiagate" nonsense.

The idiocy began when Trump, campaigning, remarked that it would be better to get along with Russia than not. A sentiment that would not have surprised Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Reagan or any of the others who recognised that, like it or not, Moscow was a fact. A fact that had to be dealt with, talked to, negotiated with so as to produce the best possible result. Why? Well, apart from the diplomatic reality that it is better to get on with your neighbours, the fact that the USSR/Russia was a nuclear power that could obliterate the USA was adequate reason to keep communications alive. If relations could be improved, all earlier US Presidents would agree, so much the better. But for Trump - the outsider - to dare to say so was an outrage. Or more accurately, a hook on which to hang enough simulated outrage to cost him the election. Then, upsetting all expectations, he won. Immediately pussy hat protests, blather about tax returns, Electoral College speculations, 25th Amendment, psychiatrists opining unfitness (COVFEFE: Bizarre Trump Behavior Raises More Mental Health Questions): an entire industry was created to get Trump out, or, if he couldn't be got out, then at least prevented from doing any of the things he campaigned on. All the swamp creatures were mobilised. The most enduring of these efforts was the Russia allegation. A Special Counsel was created to investigate Russia, Trump and the election. Leaks from this and other investigations fuelled outrage and talk shows.

AOC's funding donations to ex-CIA Dems opposed to socialism make clear she's joined the Establishment

AOC Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Left-wingers such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pledged that Joe Biden would be given hell once in power. But now he's in the White House, she's helping national security state-linked figures in the party's ranks cling to power.

On April 2, Politico reported that the firebrand New York Congressional representative had donated $160,000 to members of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's (DCCC) 'Frontline' program.

Frontline provides Democrats most at risk of losing their seats in the November 2022 mid-terms with "resources and cutting-edge information they need to execute effective reelection campaigns" - in other words, it aims to ensure they can survive the toughest races.

Comment: It's likely hapless Occasional Cortex has very little say in where her organization's donations go. She has been a figurehead from the very start. Apparently the CIA plan to pack Congress is proceeding well:
