• "There will be control." European Central Bank president, Christine Lagarde, admits the EU's new CBDC—the digital euro—will be used to exert control. EU citizens already face imprisonment or fines for engaging in cash transactions above €1000, but the introduction of the digital euro will enable financial totalitarianism on an industrial scale.

• Dealers are getting absolutely CRUSHED on EVs: The Ford Mustang Mach-E was selling for $10,000 ABOVE MSRP less than 2 years ago. Today, this Mustang Mach-E is listed for $31,547 BELOW MSPR. That's nearly 60% below the suggested selling price for a brand new car. The worst part? This car has been sitting on the market for 6 weeks and it still has not sold. An EV fire sale is an understatement for most manufacturers and dealers.

• I have a feeling this is going to go really badly for me, but it has to be said. The dynamic must be explained. Yesterday, on Good Friday, one of the high holy days of the Christian faith, the Biden Administration proclaimed Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024 *specifically* to be a "trans day of visibility." The official White House press release page shows an Easter Bunny by the White House, indicating they are fully aware that they are making this proclamation specifically about Easter Sunday, even though Easter is not specifically mentioned in the proclamation.

• @DonaldJTrumpJr

• RFK’s VP choice, Nicole Shanahan, is a six-figure donor to... George Gascon, the pro-crime, Soros-backed prosecutor who helped wreck San Francisco and is currently wrecking LA. She also spent big on Measure J, a Los Angeles measure to reroute spending from law enforcement and prisons to “social services” and “mental health treatment” — in other words, not putting criminals and dangerous psychos behind bars. This is a far-left pick by RFK, who is apparently looking to shore up his progressive bona fides. Major red flag for commonsense independents and centrist voters who are also sick of rising crime but intrigued by his campaign.

• Most of us know by now about the WHO treaty looming in May 2024, that will drain sovereignty from the US and other signatory nations. Bioweapons expert Dr Meryl Nass explains what is even scarier than those headlines: the WHO will also create via this treaty, a global repository of bioweapon infectious agents to use for gain of function research. This 'germ marketplace' can also be a means to hold the whole world hostage via the promised 'next pandemic'. Unmissable!

• Dr. Mike Yeadon, former vice president at Pfizer, on why digital ID and CBDC must be resisted at all costs: "They plan to take digital tyrannical control of everybody, and then kill most people... If I'm wrong and you follow me, you'll get laughed at. If you believe the government narrative and I'm right, you'll lose your freedom and probably your life." (video)

• America, Your Government HATES YOU, They’re Attempting To Grant IMMUNITY To Pesticide Companies. “I just came out of this subcommittee hearing on HSB 737, which would give pesticide companies immunity for citizens trying to file lawsuits against them for damages.” “This bill just passed the subcommittee, and it will take away farmers' rights to pursue legal action after damages are caused to their families and themselves.”
  

• @WallStreetSilv

• This is out of control: We’re not in a pandemic, we’re not in a World War, and we’re in an allegedly healthy economy. When any of those change, debt will skyrocket. With US national debt up $10 trillion since the pandemic, and roughly sixfold the 2008 crisis, Washington is goose-stepping us into a collapse. (video)
• British farmer has a message for the Westminster elite: "We had ENOUGH talking". "For the last 20 years we've been attacked by the political classes, telling us how to farm in the countryside". "We're now being paid to stop growing food and grow wild flowers". "It's insanity". (video) 
• The FBI is visiting social media users. Not about any specific post, but just to "check off boxes ... it's procedural". Why is the FBI wasting time on this? This seems to be a 1st amendment issue if they are trying to intimidate and interfere with speech.

• @VigilantFox

• Tucker Carlson Says Doctors Should APOLOGIZE for Wrongly Recommending the COVID Vax. “If you hurt someone unintentionally, you have to say, ‘I’m sorry.’” “By the way,” Carlson added, “I would never go to a doctor who was still lying about COVID because that’s a dangerous person. That’s an immoral person and a dangerous person.” “I can’t get past it,” Carlson continued. “It’s like, ‘Oh, I’m great at my job. I killed a bunch of people, but I’m a great person.’ It’s like, no, it’s too big a sin to overlook. You have no credibility unless you apologize for that and explain how you reached that wrong conclusion.” (video)

• “On Wednesday, National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy said her team had identified 56 containers of hazardous material aboard the Singaporean container ship. A senior hazmat investigator with the agency determined that '764 tons of hazardous materials', which includes corrosives, lithium ion batteries and flammables, now threatens the water surrounding the downed bridge. Some of the containers 'were breached,' said Homendy, noting that a sheen of hazardous material could be seen on the waterway.

• Shocking stat of the day: Since 1800, 51 out of 52 countries who have reached a 130% Debt-to-GDP ratio have defaulted. According to the US CBO itself, Debt-to-GDP in the US is on track to hit 130% for the first time by 2033. (graph)
• Why does everything feel so unaffordable? According to the pre-1983 CPI calculation method, inflation is nearly TRIPLE what current CPI data says. If you used pre-1983 CPI, inflation peaked at 18% in November 2022 and currently stands at a whopping 8%. (graph)

• Using the MGH numbers with our own VAERS queries, we have 247 cases per million doses from the MGH study divided by 5.97 cases per million doses from VAERS. 247/5.97 = 41. This suggests that the VAERS under-reporting factor (URF) is 41X.
