Pope Emeritus Benedict joins Pope Francis in taking abortion-tainted COVID vaccine

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

LifeSite News — Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI is to become one of the first in the Vatican to receive an abortion-tainted COVID-19 vaccine, as part of the Vatican’s own vaccination roll-out commencing today.

Pope Benedict’s personal secretary Archbishop Georg Gänswein spoke to the German language edition of Catholic News Agency (CNA), saying that Benedict would receive it “as soon as the vaccine is available.” Gänswein noted that he would receive the jab along with Benedict, as would “the whole household of the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery” where Benedict is living.

In a television interview aired on Sunday night, Pope Francis also stated that he would receive the vaccine, calling it “an ethical choice,” adding that “I’ve signed up. One must do it.” Francis went further, adding that “ethically, everyone should take the vaccine.”

“I don’t understand why some say, ‘No. Vaccines are dangerous,’” the Pope said. “If it is presented by doctors as a thing that can go well, that has no special dangers, why not take it? There is a suicidal denial that I wouldn’t know how to explain.” Read More

Report: Iran has ‘suicide drones,’ capable of hitting Israeli targets, in Yemen

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Arutz Sheva: Iran has apparently sent deadly “suicide drones” to Yemen capable of hitting Israeli targets, Newsweek reported.

Imagery seen by Newsweek and confirmed by an expert on Iranian activities showed the existence of Iranian Shahed-136 loitering munitions in the northern Yemeni Houthi-controlled province of Al-Jawf.

According to the expert, “The Iranians have delivered to their Houthi proxies in Yemen advanced UAVs.”

y are forward deploying or prepositioning these drones in order to stage an attack against a variety of targets they have within range.”

The UAVs are thought to have an effective range of 2,000 to 2,200 kilometers.

“What they’re trying to achieve is plausible deniability,” the expert added, “as in being able to strike either a U.S., Saudi, Gulf, or Israeli target and then having the strike traced back to Yemen, and hoping for deniably against any kind of retribution.”

Yields Surge As Stunned Traders Learn Biden To Propose Massive $2 Trillion Stimulus

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Zero Hedge: Last week, Goldman sparked a buying frenzy in the market (and selling in treasuries) when the bank said it expects the Biden admin would unveil a “modest” $750 billion fiscal stimulus plan, including some $300 billion in “stimmy” checks to Americans.

However, as bank after bank tried to upstage Goldman and threw around stimulus estimates as high as $1 trillion or even more, the market barely noticed when late this afternoon, incoming Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer reportedly “pressed” (in Bloomberg’s words) Joe Biden to propose more than $1.3 trillion in spending for his initial round of Covid-19 relief.

Attack on Capitol Partially Coordinated on Twitter. Will Apple, Google, and Amazon Ban It Now?

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

The FBI warned law enforcement agencies prior to the assault on the U.S. Capitol last week that there would be potential violence, reports the Associated Press. This report contradicts earlier statements that they were caught off-guard by the incident.

In the aftermath of the incident, the liberal media perpetuated the claim that President Trump incited the violence, and this was used as a pretext by Big Tech to ban him from various platforms. He was suspended from Facebook for at least a week and was permanently banned from Twitter, as were several others connected to Trump and his efforts to expose voter fraud in the 2020 election.

But Big Tech wasn’t finished. Both Google and Apple removed the app Parler from their app stores, claiming the free speech alternative social media platform was used to coordinate the assault on the Capitol. However, according to the Associated Press, Twitter was also used for this purpose.

Defense and National Guard officials, including McCarthy, have said in interviews over the past several days they were told by D.C. that they believed the protests would be similar to the ones on Nov. 14 and Dec. 12. And they said that federal law enforcement authorities said that there was activity on Twitter, but that they weren’t expecting the level of violence they ultimately saw last Wednesday.

Activity on Twitter? Wasn’t “activity” on Parler the excuse for dropping the app from the Google Play and Apple app stores, and for Amazon to stop hosting them? Read More

Atlanta Fed President: We Should Have A Discussion About Guaranteed Basic Income

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

“The guaranteed basic income discussion is an important one. I think that conversation is one we should continue to have and think about.”

What’s universal basic income, you ask? Think helicopter money and magic money tree, on steroids.

Miami Branch - Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta

And with that all discussions about rate hikes, “taperings”, or anything else for that matter is moot, because the only way the conversation about guaranteed basic income – where the Treasury sells unlimited amounts of debt to “fund” UBI, debt which is purchased by the Fed – makes any sense is if the Fed ensures that rates can never again rise. Which is why all those traders panicking about rising yields, or CTAs who are now shorting 10Y yields, and as the following chart from Goldman confirms, they are – just as we said they would once yields rose above 1.10%…]

Iran Works on Uranium Metal for Reactor Fuel in New Breach of Nuclear Deal

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Iran has started work on uranium metal-based fuel for a research reactor, the UN nuclear watchdog and Tehran said on Wednesday, in the latest breach of its nuclear deal with six major powers as the country presses for a lifting of US sanctions.

Iran has been accelerating its breaches of the deal in the past two months. Some of those steps were required by a law passed in response to the killing of its top nuclear scientist in November, which Tehran has blamed on Israel.

They are also, however, part of a process started by Tehran in 2019 of committing breaches in response to US President Donald Trump’s 2018 withdrawal from the deal and his reimposition of US sanctions that the deal lifted in exchange for restrictions on Iran’s nuclear activities.

The moves raise pressure on US President-elect Joe Biden, who takes office next week and has pledged to return the United States to the deal if Iran first resumes full compliance.

Iran wants Washington to lift sanctions first. Read More

Irony: Pelosi Was So Concerned About America’s Security She Appointed ‘China’ Eric Impeachment Manager

Buchanan: Exploiting The Capitol Riot To Kill Trump

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Zero Hedge, Pat Buchanan:

What are the specific grounds for impeaching Trump?

In the first draft of the resolution of impeachment, apparently, the crime is “incitement to insurrection.”

Yet, in his Wednesday speech on the mall, Trump declared, “We’re going to cheer on brave senators and congressmen and -women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.”

Trump added, “Everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

Nowhere in Trump’s remarks was there a call to violence or to invade the Capitol building, or to engage in the mob criminality that took place under the Capitol dome Wednesday afternoon.

But the effort to disgrace and drive Trump from an office he will vacate in 10 7 days is only a part of the general purge that is underway against conservatives, Republicans and Trumpists.

Twitter and Facebook — the social media megaphones Trump has used to communicate with some 80 million followers — have terminated the president’s personal accounts.

Apple, Amazon and Google have cut ties to the social media website Parler, which is popular among conservatives.

The goal of Big Tech is censorship — to circumscribe Trump’s capacity to communicate with his followers, and then to cripple the capacity of the right to communicate with one another. Read More

Police in London are investigating a disturbing incident involving crosses that were painted on Jewish homes in a substance that appeared to have been blood.

A number of houses on a street in Stamford Hill — a district of North London with a large Orthodox Jewish population — were marked with a single cross daubed alongside the mezuzot on the doorframes.

Pictures of the vandalism were circulated online by the Shomrim, a Jewish community defense group.

The group called the vandalism a “hate crime” and “antisemitism” and claimed the perpetrator “appears to have used blood.” Read More
