      Final result of the cancel cultists- they have cancelled themselves.

      The irony is delicious!

  2. It’s fake and everybody’s in on it. Instead of looking at the data you’re just repeating those two lines. There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home.
  3. In relation to the US dollar, further down in the article it relates how Saudi Arabia is indeed considering taking Chinese currency for its oil rather than USD. Russia already takes only rubles for their oil, and this can’t be helpful to the stability of the Yankee buck. “Given the transition of Saudi Arabia away from the U.S. and towards China – and the senior Saudis do look at the issue in these terms, whatever they say publicly – there is also every reason to expect Riyadh to continue to back China’s efforts to undermine the power of the U.S. dollar in the global energy markets as well. Not only is Saudi Arabia now a prime mover in advancing the China-GCC Free Trade Agreement (FTA) – a key aim of which is to forge a “deeper strategic cooperation in a region where U.S. dominance is showing signs of retreat” – but also the Kingdom is now a prime advocate for switching away from the hegemony of U.S. dollars in the pricing of global oil and gas.” I'm sure you will disagree, moonbox, but you have nothing except your opinion to offer. Either way, only time will tell.
  4. PayPal is going to fine people $2500 at their discretion, and nobody cares. We really are sheeple…
  5. I had no idea how tight a grip tv and the various media had on our minds. That they can hide the huge uptick in sickness and deaths beggars belief. There is no hope outside some kind of major disaster to wake the sheeple up, I’m afraid.
  6. My thoughts are he was signalling that they are going to try to steal another election. If they do, then there will be a ‘party’ like it’s 1999. I also will watch for a sudden ‘national emergency’ in which the election gets postponed, or they just count the votes that have come in early. Let’s go Brandon.
  7. More bad news, this time in the US food industry. https://www.iowapublicradio.org/agriculture/2022-10-31/1-1-million-hens-being-culled-bird-flu-wright-county?_amp=true “The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship said Monday that a case of highly pathogenic avian influenza was found in a commercial layer flock in Wright County. A spokesman said the flock has approximately 1.1 million birds. As of Monday afternoon, depopulation, which means all birds in the flock are being destroyed to prevent the virus from spreading, is ongoing, the spokesman said.” And: “As of Oct. 31, more than 14.4 million commercial and backyard birds in Iowa this year have died from the virus or been killed to contain it. 47.86 million backyard and commercial birds have been impacted nationwide.” That means that 47.86 million birds have been destroyed, not including the 1.1 million on the latest cull. Those would be meat and egg producing birds, and means that prices are going up for these staple products. They have no idea how it’s spreading despite their bio-security efforts.
  8. China may have a long way to go, but they are only part of a group of nations involved in this effort. India and Russia, along with China, seem to all be allied together in this effort. Either way, I’m sure there will be many developments springing up from this.
  9. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Saudi-Arabia-Reiterates-Commitment-To-China-Regardless-Of-US-Concerns.amp.html Back in March last year it was made clear enough at the annual China Development Forum hosted in Beijing, when Aramco chief executive officer, Amin Nasser said: “Ensuring the continuing security of China’s energy needs remains our highest priority - not just for the next five years but for the next 50 and beyond.” And yet, the U.S. is surprised by the apparent finalisation of the transition of Saudi Arabia away from Washington and towards China, which effectively marks the end of the 1945 core agreement between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia that defined their relationship up until extremely recently. This transition has been seen most recently in the refusal of MbS to take a telephone call from President Joe Biden in which he was to ask for his help in bringing down economy-crimping high energy prices and then in the huge cut in collective OPEC oil production that has only added to energy-driven inflationary fears for global economies. This article suggests that the US no longer has a special relationship with Saudi Arabia. This also suggests that Saudi Arabia will sell oil in currencies other than the US dollar. Does that mean that the US dollar is no longer a petro dollar?
  10. It was also said at the time that Netanyahu would regain the leadership of Israel. I’d forgotten about this, strange to see him in an election again.
  11. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/twitter-jack-dorsey-retains-stake-after-elon-musk-buy-1235252557/ Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey is betting that Elon Musk can turn the social platform’s fortunes around. According to securities filingsMonday evening, Dorsey opted to roll his ownership stake in the company over to Musk’s new private venture. While Musk had said in the months leading up to the closing of the deal that he had been in talks with Dorsey to roll over his stake, neither man had confirmed the deal until the filings were disclosed on Oct. 31. Dorsey owned more than 18 million shares in Twitter, valued at about $1 billion. He could have cashed those shares out at $54.20 a piece when Musk took the company private, instead, he will end up saving Musk about $1 billion in his purchase price by rolling those shares over.
  12. To be honest, I don’t what kind of electronic voting machines Brazil has, I was using “dominion” generically. The point is, they are electronic. Canada still uses paper and we seem to be doing ok with it…
  13. Fair enough, 1 out of 3 it is. I’m continuing to watch this as markets and currencies in Europe get more strained. Let’s see how many leaders get replaced in the next 3 months.
  14. Well it’s nice to know that with state of the art Dominion voting systems, Brazil is able to decisively declare a winner.
  15. Says the guy that last spring was denying that there was anything wrong with the economy. You wouldn’t know a crisis if it hit you with a brick.
  16. Biden Admin is causing a nation wide diesel shortage so they can declare Martial Law.

      As a Canadian, everything you are is due to a truck or a train bringing it to your city.

  17. It’s obvious that Musk is playing both sides. Freer speech on Twitter, but help Ukraine and make strides in AI. From this we can deduce that he is possibly waiting to see which side will eventually be victorious in the US.
  18. Goddess probably said this already, but come on, man. That’s not what we were told when they brought out the vaccines. They spoke of efficacy rates, do you remember that? Get the vaccine and you’ll be protected from getting Covid? https://www.aei.org/articles/what-statistics-tells-us-about-the-efficacy-of-the-pfizer-moderna-oxford-vaccines/ In the case of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, for example, the estimated efficacy is based on 170 observed cases of COVID-19 among trial participants, 162 of whom received the placebo. Thus, only 8 trial volunteers who received the vaccine developed COVID-19, which translates into an observed efficacy rate of about 95 percent. So they sold the world a bill of goods. They have to held to account for a product that didn’t work. And far too many were harmed by it.
  19. It’s a real event, but the left propaganda and “fact check” operations won’t report it. Better get your yuks in while you can…
  20. And more bad news for today. In after hours trading, Amazon stock dropped 14%. This is after it dropped something like 3% during the day. https://www.ft.com/content/21549840-3641-4a36-95c0-efb79b7f0391 “Shares of Amazon, already down 35 per cent this year, fell as much as 20 per cent in after-hours trading on Thursday before recovering to trade 13 per cent lower. It was the latest Big Tech group to disappoint investors this week, after Google owner Alphabet, Facebook parent Meta, and Microsoft spooked Wall Street by warning of slower growth and higher costs.“
  21. Here, laugh your ass off over this. A DEM whistle blower gave up an illegal ballot harvesting operation in Florida. It’s been in operation since at least 2017. https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/florida-opens-criminal-probe-democrat-whistleblowers-evidence-ballot “She described an intricate system funded by liberal leaning organizations that dispatch ballot brokers into black communities to pressure voters to turn over their ballots. The $10 fee per ballot is divvied up among the parties who help complete the harvesting.” “"In rare circumstances, if the voter has filled out the ballot and sealed the envelope certificate, the ballot broker will take the ballot and then steam open the sealed envelope," the affidavit added. "The ballot broker will either correct any votes, if necessary, that were not voted according to their wishes or just throw them out."”
  22. I’m hearing that this ridiculous overreach is back on. PayPal has gone nuts if true.
  23. Two days ago Russia submitted a resolution at the UN regarding a violation of the Biological Weapons Convention. Personally I find it strange that the UN would bother to go through the motions of an investigation on this. https://thehill.com/policy/international/3703558-russia-calls-for-un-security-council-probe-of-alleged-biological-labs-in-ukraine/amp/ ”The resolution would create a 15-member commission authorized by the Security Council to investigate the claims, the outlet reported. The Associated Press reported that the commission would report to the Security Council by Nov. 30 and establish a review conference in Geneva, Switzerland from Nov. 28 through Dec. 16.”
  24. Facebook/Meta was found guilty of election violations in the 2020 election. In Washington State, and fined 24.7 million. https://apnews.com/article/business-seattle-washington-8e0dfaf7f9d7246583da33693559d36e ““I have one word for Facebook’s conduct in this case — arrogance,” Ferguson said in a news release. “It intentionally disregarded Washington’s election transparency laws. But that wasn’t enough. Facebook argued in court that those laws should be declared unconstitutional. That’s breathtaking. Where’s the corporate responsibility?””
