Thursday On Turtle Island

Biden’s America:  Old Joe helps female climate activists in Kenya.  The Biden crime family.  Wapo attacks home schooling.  Protecting porn in schools.  Why men are fleeing college.  Greeting girls at Disney.  A woke kidnapping.  The war on white people.  Your morning meme.

Trudeau’s Canada:  Justin wants protection for his lapdogs.  Is there a shortage of shovels in Canada?  Still no remains found in Kamloops.  Ontario’s Doug Ford to march in gay sex parade.  A Twitter fact check regarding Kamloops.  The Liberals celebrate terrorism in Nigeria.  Toronto’s TTC makes subway safe for gays.  Our Dear Leader has solved another problem. Today Trudeau burns jet fuel to Toronto.  There he will announce the National Day Against Gun Violence. That should solve the issue.  Liberal Senator explains that the Freedom Convoy was a terrorist group.

Neil Oliver:  Mass Dissatisfaction

Woke Britain:  Only black men need apply.  Unions unite to destroy Britain.

Global Warming Scam News:  Canadians are suffering from eco-anxiety.  Only Justin and more carbon taxes can save us.

Whatsisname’s Britain

Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch, and you are not to stray from the Primrose Path.

British counter-terror police detained journalist Kit Klarenberg upon his arrival at London’s Luton airport and subjected him to an extended interrogation about his political views and reporting for The Grayzone.

As soon as journalist Kit Klarenberg landed in his home country of Britain on May 17, 2023, six anonymous plainclothes counter-terror officers detained him. They quickly escorted him to a back room, where they grilled him for over five hours about his reporting for this outlet. They also inquired about his personal opinion on everything from the current British political leadership to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Wednesday On Turtle Island

Woke Britain:  A story you won’t find in the North American media.  Britain ends the slave trade.

Biden’s America:  A ticking time bomb.  An antidote to despair.  The loneliness epidemic.  A Mom Show.  The deep thoughts of Kamala Harris.  Furries and drag queens are upset.  The future of globalism.  Your morning meme.

Trudeau’s Canada:  I guess he wore out the current fleet. Trudeau gets new planes (CBC).  Some more funding from Justin (CBC).  Mayor of Mississauga wants to be leader of the Ontario Liberal Party. She also wants to change the lyrics of O Canada.  While Justin’s media remains upset about the York Catholic School Board, they don’t seem interested about violence at diverse Toronto schools.  Do you self-identify as black or indigenous?  Justin’s lapdog won’t trigger an election.  Our bought and paid for media.

Today In Islam:  Muslim outreach in Nigeria (JW).   Is this the future of Canada?  And Muslim outreach in Florida.

Our Chinese-Installed Government In Ottawa

Summary from Sam Cooper: and this is a bombshell, O’Toole risked breaching his boundaries in Parliament, to disclose @csiscanada informed him of “payment of funds by the Chinese Communist Party through the United Front Work Department to create specific products of misinformation on me as a leader” […] This is the first time I have heard a politician outline the full scope of what I have been informed of by experts and sources regarding CCP’s sweeping and covertly funded campaign of threats and inducements (support of candidates) to exert influence on Canadian elected govts.

RIP Claudia Rosett

You may remember her reporting from the Oil For Food days;

Much of her career was spent with the Wall Street Journal, serving as its Moscow bureau chief and editorial page editor for the Asia division. She was fearless and passionate, especially when reporting about repressive regimes around the world. Claudia was the only print journalist who witnessed the Tiananmen Square uprising in 1989, dodging bullets to get the story out to the world (you can read her first-hand account here). She was also a fierce critic of the United Nations and is widely credited with exposing corruption in the international body. She received several awards for her reporting on the UN’s Oil-for-Food program in Iraq. In recent years she had traveled to Hong Kong to cover protests over the encroachment of China. She was also a foreign policy fellow at the Independent Women’s Forum.

They don’t make them like her anymore. (And those that they do are shunted off to Substack).

Digital Dark Ages

Is a central bank digital currency actually viable? In reality no, but that won’t stop the central planners from trying it.

They have the means, even now, to monitor your payments and to shut down access to your accounts via their supervision of banks. 

As many of those who donated to the Freedom Convoy are well aware of.

But FedCoin would take it to the next level. 

FedCoin will be the next degradation of the monetary system. It will be a leap downward into a coercive mechanism to feed the growing maw of government spending. People will fork over their savings to a central bank in order that the central bank give it to the government, to spend. Because this is less unsafe than depositing it in a bank. 

 

Temporarily Unexpected

The fed has a major problem. It must let rates rise to meet some termination point, which means above the rate of inflation. But in so doing, it creates the conditions that lead to a genuine decline in the supply of money itself, which creates serious upheaval of an unpredictable sort. There is no winner in this game.

Keep in mind that this is happening even as price inflation is still intolerably high, with the Fed’s favorite measure (the Personal Consumption Expenditures index) hitting records for the year. That was not supposed to happen. This is called stagflation.

It strikes me as impossible that we can avoid a serious recession with such monetary shocks going on. To be sure, we’ve never seen anything like this in the postwar period—either the pumping in or the sucking out of money—so this could be wrong. We’ll see. But generally, starving the economy of that on which it has come to rely will topple lots of illusions.

I, For One, Welcome Our New Self-Driving Overlords

Tony Venhuizen, a smart guy from South Dakota, operates a web site where he writes about the history of the governors of that state. He asked ChatGPT, “Please write a blog post discussing South Dakota’s oldest and youngest governors.” Chat GPT responded with a competent description of South Dakota’s oldest governor, Nils Boe. It then went on to write about the state’s youngest governor, Crawford H. “Chet” Taylor.
