Happy Mother's Day!

I think it is a good idea to appreciate those who gave us life and nurtured us in our youth, at least I hope your Mom nurtured you. Today I want to look at the birth of new ideas from new tools of control to new economic alliances to active and brewing conflicts. It has been another busy news cycle this week, so lets get to the stories...

The Mother of all Agendas...
It seems to me (and I'm curious if you see things similarly) that there is a cabal of WEF global leaders running most of the countries of the collective west, who have more loyalty toward the Great Reset agenda than they do the countries they rule. On the agenda is:

• the confiscation of farms, control of the food supply, and elimination of animal production.
• the establishment of a WHO pandemic dictate to control other nations.
• the use of climate, much like COVID, to control peoples' behavior
• the creation of CBDC in order to control your bank account and money.
• the division of like minded people by using identity wedge issues.
• the control of media (including the internet) to shape public opinion.
• the elimination and canceling of anyone who objects to the agenda.

BEYOND THE RESET - Animated Short Film (24 min)
A 3D animated short film about not too distant but a dystopian future. It speculates on the potential consequences of the infamous Great Reset, medical tyranny, woke culture, and green agenda. Everything, that World Economic Forum (WEF) is planning for us.

The Great Reset Initiative is an economic recovery plan drawn up by the World Economic Forum in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The project was launched in June 2020, with a video featuring the then Prince of Wales Charles released to mark its launch.

They warn that more than 2,000 US banks “are potentially insolvent”

The bankruptcies of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic Bank and the recent fall in PacWest shares are just the tip of the iceberg, with more than half of US lenders suffering from the liquidity crisis. Nearly half of the 4,800 US banks are potentially insolvent because their capital reserves have run out, says a group of banking experts, cited by The Telegraph.

The following is a ranking of all banks in the United States in terms of "Derivatives". This comparison is based on data reported on 2022-12-31.

Why The Fed Wants You to Have a Mental Breakdown (25 min)
E.B. Tucker details how the Fed's actions are weighing on consumers. “You don’t tell the builder what kind of house you want. They tell you what kind of house we’re gonna get,” he says, highlighting that folks end up living in a space that may be massive but not necessarily the one they enjoy living in. “The builders have succeeded in doing this for probably 40 years now because people had access to cheaper and cheaper money... [but] you’re much better off being in a space that works with your mood and enhances your life," he says. Tucker also explains that in terms of de-dollarization, there’s a shift going on in the global markets. “We have to be aware that the U.S. is losing standing,” he concludes.

Banks Will Be Shut Off (25 min)
Experts are talking about how the banking crisis is going to escalate out of control very quickly. They are going to limit the withdrawals from banks.

Economist Michael Hudson responds to the misleading arguments against de-dollarization that New York Times columnist Paul Krugman made in his attempt to defend US hegemony and the dollar system.

...start with the article that Paul Krugman published in April, called “International Money Madness Strikes Again“. He has this very dismissive tone in this, saying that it’s “madness”.

And essentially in this article, he creates a straw man, where he says that if you think that the dominance of the US dollar is in decline, that you think that there’s going to be hyperinflation in the United States.

He refers to these people as “Weimarists”, referring to Weimar Germany, where there was hyperinflation in the 1920s.

So he essentially says that if you don’t believe that the US dollar will stay dominant, you believe that it’s going to become toilet paper. It’s a straw man argument.
...
Michael responds-
It’s not a straw man argument; it’s deliberate ignorance. You have to really have tunnel vision and not understand the most basic economic history to make the misrepresentations that Krugman said.

And if I hadn’t met him, and I didn’t know how really stupid he is as a person, I would think he’s deliberately lying, but I have met him and he really is that stupid.

BRICS New Development Bank breaks away from the US dollar’s dominance
In a bold move to take on the US-dominated World Bank, the BRICS New Development Bank will now issue loans in local currencies.
The BRICS, representing around one-fifth of the world’s economy, has emerged as a powerful new voice alternative to Western domination.
The sanctions against Russia have exposed the danger of over-dependence on the US dollar in international trade.

My understanding is a BRICS commodity based exchange or currency will be finalized in August at the meeting in S. Africa.

It's a typical "if I can't have you, no one can" situation between Taiwan and semiconductors for the U.S. They say that if China gets its hands on the Taiwan semiconductor industry, they would consider bombing those factories. And these are how we treat our friends? Sure puts the Nord Stream Pipeline bombing into perspective, doesn't it?

The Brink Of WAR WWIII | George Galloway (50 min)

China's approach to the conflict in Ukraine may be driven by a desire to maintain good relations with both Russia and the West. China has economic and strategic ties with both sides, and it may not want to take sides in a conflict that could potentially escalate into a wider international conflict. Overall, while China has not played a major role in trying to end the war in Ukraine or prevent a third world war, its stance of neutrality and emphasis on diplomacy may contribute to a peaceful resolution of the conflict.
In recent years, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine has been a major source of tension and violence in the region. However, China has recently emerged as a surprising new player in the conflict resolution process, offering diplomatic and economic support to help end the war in Ukraine.
China's involvement in Ukraine has largely been motivated by its desire to promote regional stability and protect its own economic interests. As a major global power and a key player in the region, China has the resources and influence to help mediate a peaceful resolution to the conflict. In recent years, Chinese officials have been actively engaged in talks with both the Ukrainian government and separatist groups, offering support and assistance in a number of areas.

North Korea Truth & Lies: Challenging the Propaganda, w/ Ju-Hyun Park (49 min)
In the U.S. we’re taught that North Korea is a horrible backwards dictatorship where every person is captive to an evil regime run by a mad man who has an inexplicable hatred of the U.S., freedom and democracy – and is always on the edge of launching a nuclear missile to destroy the world. This, we’re told, is the reason we have to isolate the country and occupy South Korea with thousands of U.S. soldiers. The purpose of such a simplistic narrative is to prevent Americans from getting curious about what’s really happening there. Why is North Korea so closed off? What's the relevant history of that region? Why did the U.S. go to war there in the 1950s? What were the consequences? Why is Korea split into two? And is the country really as evil as the mainstream portrays?
To help break it all down, Rania Khalek was joined by Ju-Hyun Park, a member of Nodutdol for Korean Community Development, an anti-imperialist organization of Koreans in the U.S. struggling for Korean reunification and national liberation.

The coup against Imran Khan

Civil War in Pakistan? Imran Khan freed but still held by police, journalists banned (19 min)
Pakistan is on the verge of civil war following a U.S. backed coup. At this hour protesters have pushed passed the country’s official military residence and taken over an air base. Nearly 1,000 people have been arrested and at least 50 people have been killed according to the PTI political party.On Tuesday, former Prime Minister Imran Khan was arrested after warning that the military was trying to assassinate him to stop him from campaigning. He was beaten up and dragged out of the courtroom by paramilitary forces. This prompted massive protests from his supporters. Today the Supreme Court ruled his arrest illegal and demanded he go free but sources say the military are ignoring those requests. The government called in the army to quell the protests and have used Internet jammers to stop protestors from using social media to communicate. Khan has been campaigning for re-election and is widely expected to win. He was ousted from office last year after a US-backed parliamentary coup.

Pakistan’s Power Struggle, w/ Junaid Ahmad (34 min)
Last April, Pakistan’s Imran Khan was ousted as Prime Minister, which he blamed on an American-backed coup due to his non-aligned foreign policy. His removal has been followed by political instability that continues to roil the country with some of the largest protests in Pakistan’s history, both in support of him but also in opposition to the traditional ruling elites. The current government has responded by cracking down on Khan and his supporters, and preventing new elections.
To help us understand what happened and what we can expect, Rania Khalek was joined by Junaid Ahmad – Professor of Religion, Law, and Global Politics and Director of the Center for the Study of Islam and Decoloniality in Islamabad, Pakistan.

At least it seems some peace in breaking out in the Arab world...
Syria Welcomed Back Into Arab League & U.S. FLIPS OUT

For more than a decade Syria under President Bashar al-Assad has been ostracized by most other Arab nations and excluded from the Arab League. But now that’s changed and Syria has been invited to re-join — a move that has left the United States apoplectic. But it seems that other member states don’t much care what the U.S. wants as they demonstrate an increasing willingness to thumb their noses at the globe’s declining superpower.

"Polls in both countries seem to be between all over the place and tight but my hunch is that the incumbents have a good chance to win.
If the results are to the favor of the current governments the U.S. may well use its well honed color revolution schemes to change the outcomes."

Doug Macgregor was on RFK's podcast this week (30 min)
Colonel Douglas Macgregor discusses the war in Ukraine with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on May 6, 2023.

Russia celebrated Victory Day on May 9. Putin spoke about the current situation and proxy war in Ukraine with the US/NATO.
Here's an excerpt...

We take pride in the unconquered courageous generation of the victors, we are proud of being their successors, and it is our duty to preserve the memory of those who defeated Nazism and entrusted us with being vigilant and doing everything to thwart the horror of another global war.

Therefore, despite all controversies in international relations, Russia has always advocated the establishment of an equal and indivisible security system which is critically needed for the entire international community.

Last December we proposed signing a treaty on security guarantees. Russia urged the West to hold an honest dialogue in search for meaningful and compromising solutions, and to take account of each other’s interests. All in vain. NATO countries did not want to heed us, which means they had totally different plans. And we saw it.

Another punitive operation in Donbass, an invasion of our historic lands, including Crimea, was openly in the making. Kiev declared that it could attain nuclear weapons. The NATO bloc launched an active military build-up on the territories adjacent to us.

Thus, an absolutely unacceptable threat to us was steadily being created right on our borders. There was every indication that a clash with neo-Nazis and Banderites backed by the United States and their minions was unavoidable.

Let me repeat, we saw the military infrastructure being built up, hundreds of foreign advisors starting work, and regular supplies of cutting-edge weaponry being delivered from NATO countries. The threat grew every day.

Russia launched a pre-emptive strike at the aggression. It was a forced, timely and the only correct decision. A decision by a sovereign, strong and independent country.

The United States began claiming their exceptionalism, particularly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, thus denigrating not just the entire world but also their satellites, who have to pretend not to see anything, and to obediently put up with it.

But we are a different country. Russia has a different character. We will never give up our love for our Motherland, our faith and traditional values, our ancestors’ customs and respect for all peoples and cultures.

Meanwhile, the West seems to be set to cancel these millennia-old values. Such moral degradation underlies the cynical falsifications of World War II history, escalating Russophobia, praising traitors, mocking their victims’ memory and crossing out the courage of those who won the Victory through suffering.

We are aware that US veterans who wanted to come to the parade in Moscow were actually forbidden to do so. But I want them to know: We are proud of your deeds and your contribution to our common Victory.

We honour all soldiers of the allied armies – the Americans, the English, the French, Resistance fighters, brave soldiers and partisans in China – all those who defeated Nazism and militarism.

TPTB would be wise to listen to Putin. Unfortunately wisdom isn't their strong point.

Mike Jones watched the V-day parade...

What about the US Domestic Front?

Biden and RFK polling neck and neck
Just one percent separates Robert F. Kennedy Jr and President Joe Biden amongst the American public, according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll quizzing likely voters over their Democratic primary preference. The data also reveals that one in five Democrats would prefer a Trump-Kennedy ticket over Biden-Harris.
Rasmussen Reports asked likely U.S. voters, “If the candidates for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination were Joe Biden, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Marianne Williamson, which candidate would you vote for?”
Respondents were split between Kennedy Jr. and Biden, with Kennedy Jr. receiving 35 percent and Joe Biden, already polling at historic lows as of May 2023, receiving just 36 percent. The third option, Marianna Williamson, received only six percent.

The dirt is beginning to be revealed about the Biden crime family...
Biden Family Received $10 Million in Payments from China, Foreign Interests: House Oversight

Republicans are digging in on over $10 million received by Biden family members from foreign actors, including previously undisclosed $1 million in Romanian-linked payments, and a ‘web’ of 20 companies created while President Joe Biden was vice president and pushing anti-corruption efforts abroad.

America’s state media: The blackout on Biden corruption is truly ‘Pulitzer-level stuff’

This week, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) tried to do the impossible. After he and his colleagues presented a labyrinth of LLC shell companies and accounts used to funnel as much as $10 million to Biden family members, Donalds tried to induce the press to show some interest in the massive corruption scandal. “For those in the press, this easy pickings & Pulitzer-level stuff right here,” he pleaded.
The response was virtually immediate. Despite showing nine Biden family members allegedly receiving funds from corrupt figures in Romania, China and other countries, The New Republic quickly ran a story headlined “Republicans Finally Admit They Have No Incriminating Evidence on Joe Biden.”

Much like Hunters laptop suppression, this massive story may not see much daylight.

Then there's the debt ceiling stand off which doesn't look good for Biden.

Meanwhile RFK is getting good coverage in alternative media. Here's an interview with Russell Brand and RFK

Now I want to make it clear that I don't think the political theater is an effective means of change...to me it is theater. However, anyone who is against war and US militarism is my ally, regardless of their other views.

We are one human family. Using mitochondrial DNA we all trace back to Eve, the original mother of modern humans.

The species Homo sapiens is older than 200,000 years but - this is the hard part – ‘Eve’ is dated back to Africa about 150 to 200 thousand years ago. We know this because analysis of variation in living humans, plus the mutation rate in mitochondrial DNA, permits us to calculate when the ancestor of all living mitochondrial DNA chromosomes was alive.
Prior to ‘Eve’, there were actually still many females living, but all those lines (other than Eve’s own direct ancestor) have died out. Some will have died after a hundred, some thousands, some tens of thousands of years. Remember, for the lineage to survive to today, a female must have a fertile daughter, who in turn has a daughter over 8,000 generations.

Found: closest link to Eve, our universal ancestor
