- LAGARDE: EUROPE NEEDS MIGRANTS - OR IT STOPS GROWING. ECB chief Christine Lagarde just stood in Jackson Hole and told the world: Europe’s economy only works if the borders stay open. Let’s be real: A continent that deliberately hollowed out its birth rate and normalized 32-hour workweeks now wants to patch the hole with human imports, while ignoring the social fracture it’s already created. Lagarde’s argument isn’t even economic - it’s ideological: Let wages lag Shrink the native workforce Punish dissent as populism Outsource growth to people who don’t vote (yet) No plan to rebuild a sustainable demographic. No investment in automation. No rethink of work itself. Just open the tap wider - and call it “resilience.” This isn’t a growth strategy. It’s a Ponzi scheme with passports.
- TED CRUZ FLIPS THE SWITCH ON NEWSOM. California’s Gavin Newsom tried roasting Trump by blaming him for a 10% rise in electricity bills. Ted Cruz clapped back by asking where prices are highest, knowing the answer would sting blue strongholds. Data shows Hawaii, California, and Connecticut lead the pack, with San Francisco and New York among top cities. In other words, Democrat states are frying wallets while their leaders pretend Trump controls the power grid.

- Boom. No murders in DC for the last 10 days. REMINDER: Over the last seven years, blacks were 112 times more likely than whites to be murdered in DC. Why aren’t Democrats celebrating the saving of black lives?

- The danger of Central Bank Digital Currency is not just authorities can stop you from spending your digital money, but also they can stop you from receiving salary through digital wallet. Tens of thousands Chinese people are becoming homeless. ——Because they are blacklisted by Social Credit System. So they are banned from receiving salary through digital wallet WeChat, which leads to no employers want to hire them. They can't find a job to make a living. Eventually they end up becoming homeless. (video)

- The Global "Digital Gulag" is Being Built Right Now. And It's Called "50 in Five." The United Nations Development Programme, in partnership with Bill Gates, has officially launched a terrifying new initiative. The goal? To strongarm 50 governments into implementing a full "Digital Public Infrastructure" on their populations within five years. Don't let the boring name fool you. This is the integrated control grid they've been dreaming of for decades. It's built on four pillars:

- WATCH. This one of only a handful of videos in existence that have captured. glyphosate spraying on North American forests. MOST jurisdictions in North America perform these sprays in near secrecy. (Quebec does not). This is straight-up ECOCIDE. Mass death is their goal, via ecological destruction followed by famine and depopulation.
- @ShadowofEzra
- Bill Gates has returned, not with solutions for the planet but with a blueprint for control, pushing a vision that centralizes power in the hands of a few. He has brought together corporate giants including BlackRock, Microsoft, GM, and Bank of America under the green label of his “Catalyst” fund. They are creating a monopoly that funnels taxpayer money into their own projects and forces the market to adopt their expensive “green” products like synthetic fuels and hydrogen. (video)

- Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel Admits They Paid Fauci's NIH $400 Million in Royalties: "Indeed we recently made before Christmas last year a $400 Million payment to the NIH for an old patent [useful] in development of the COVID vaccine". If DNI Tulso Gabbard reveals that GOF work overseen by Fauci was linked to the covid Pandemic, that means Fauci would have been tied to both the "problem" and the "solution". (video)

- 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.
