Trump Has This System in Its Death Throes—Now Is the Time to Prepare

by Doug Casey, Casey Research:
Obama pulled out his veto pen 12 times during his presidency.
Congress only overrode him once…
In late 2016, Obama vetoed the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA). The bill would allow 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia in US courts.
With only months left in office, Obama wasn’t worried about the political price of opposing the bill. It was worth protecting Saudi Arabia and the petrodollar system, which underpins the US dollar’s role as the world’s premier currency.

7 Ways To Protect Yourself From The Ruling Elite’s World Depopulation Agenda

by Paul Philips, Activist Post:
The dark side, the world’s ruling elite (and many associates) are lost beings. They have lost their way from what is honest, decent and just: A number of us know that in their quest for total domination there is a secret world depopulation agenda in operation.
The overwhelming evidence for this: documented facts, whistleblower testimony, bombshell quotes on record like those from Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski and Bill Gates … can only serve as a cue for you to take certain necessary counter-measures.
Remember, the price of ignorance could be death.

How Come the CIA is World’s Hackfest Central Now

by Jean Perier, New Eastern Outlook:

Once Wikileaks released thousands of documents uncovering the extensive scope of the US CIA’s hacking, including a wide range of programs and backdoors that allow the wiretapping of smartphones, personal computers and even smart TVs, the whole world has once again had the chance to learn that it’s not the mysterious “Russian hackers” that pose the greatest threat to the international security, but rather the CIA itself. The tale of “Russian hackers”, extensively used by the CIA and closely affiliated agencies in their propaganda war was used to whitewash American intelligence agencies who have established total surveillance over their own politicians and those governing foreign states.
Therefore, it is not surprising that today the CIA was subjected to extensive criticism both on the international stage and within the United States. The spokesman for the Citizens’ Civil Liberties Protection Group, Nathan White, is convinced that digital security has been jeopardized for years because of the CIA’s malicious practices of collecting information about vulnerabilities, instead of seeking cooperation with companies to address them.

Brutal Martial law Would Follow the Deposing of Trump by the Deep State

by Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show:
I have been reporting a dramatic uptick in FEMA camp activity in the country. I recenty interviewed Joshua Coy who is finding the same thing. Reports are beginning to come in that are validating my concern. For the record, let me say that this has nothing to do with President Trump as is being errorneously reported by lunatic with a Youtube channel.
President Trump is struggling to fully gain control of his government because of the treasonous Deep State. From what I have learned from various documents and insider sources, the recent FEMA camp activity increase is due to a coordinated plan to remove Trump from office and impose martial law and incarcerate millions of Americans who are loyal to Trump, the country and the Constitution.

SCIENCE Has Been Taken Over by the Insane Anti-Science LEFT… Here’s What They Now Believe

by D Heyes , Natural News:
The Left claims to have cornered the market on science and scientific research, touting such things as, “Climate change science is settled” when it isn’t, and that some of the sexual modifications of humans we are seeing today are merely a sign of normal progression.
“A closer examination of the Left’s whacky beliefs across the scientific spectrum reveal a dogmatic, anti-science belief system that rejects near-universal scientific principles of genetics, chemistry, biology and more,” Natural News founder and editor Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, wrote in a recent essay.
Adams examined several instances where Leftist political thought passes for legitimate “science.” Those areas include:

Seven Bowls – Current Threat: Jim Willie

by Jim Willie, Gold Seek:
Although finance & economics are the primary themes for the Hat Trick Letter and its related research, it is impossible to ignore the reality of widespread coordinated aggravated attempts to destroy our lovely blue orb, planet Earth. The globalists are hell-bent on ruining the entire biosphere for the home to humanity. Gold & Silver might be the best protection for the financial and economic deterioration, if not destruction, as individuals and financial entities work to ensure the preservation of their assets. However, Gold & Silver should be part of any concerted effort toward preparedness in emergency supply. The Jackass has diverted in this one article instance from the primary newsletter themes in order to warn people about the threat to the entire human species. The common theme among the perpetrators is the Satanism practiced by the Western Elite, who are gradually being exposed for their pedophilia and child sacrifice rituals. Their symbols are all through the corporate signposts, often identified by alert observers.

Are Germans About to Be Made to Pay for Their Love of Cash?

by Don Quijones, Wolf Street:
Germany loves physical money. According to a Bundesbank study, approximately 80% of payments in Germany are made in cash. Even among millennials, two-thirds say they prefer paying in cash to electronic means, a much higher level than in almost any other advanced economy with the exception of Japan.
This is a big problem for a European establishment that is desperate to consign physical money to the scrap heap. Some countries, including France and Spain, have already set maximum cash limits of €1,000. Greece has dropped its cap for cash transactions from €1,500 to €500.

What Will Catch The Falling Housing Market Knife This Time?

by Dave Kranzler, Investment Research Dynamics:
“There’s so much inventory, and that influx is hitting across all price points, even studios.” – director of leasing at Douglas Elliman (NYC). NYC was one of the first markets hit hard in 2007-2008.
For awhile, any weakness in the NYC housing market was attributed exclusively to the high end. I am on record stating that price dynamic would spread to all price segments. It’s not rocket-science, it’s simple supply/demand/price economics. Studio rents in NYC dropped the most on record in February. This same dynamic is also beginning to happen in many of the other hottest cities across the country. To compound the spreading price weakness in the rental market, a record number of new units will hit the markets coast to coast over the next two years. It would be a mistake to assume that price weakness in the apartment market will not affect the home rental market. Again, the laws of supply, demand, price, income and substitution will once again invade the entire housing market and take sales volume and prices lower.

SICKO: California State Sen. Richard Pan caught on video LYING about aborted human fetal cell tissue used in vaccines

by Mike Adams, Natural News:

California state senator Richard Pan just can’t stop lying about vaccines. Two years ago, he was caught blatantly lying about mercury in vaccines, attempting to push the blatantly false, anti-science fiction that mercury is somehow safe to inject into children. Now, he’s been caught on video, falsely claiming that aborted human fetal tissue cell lines are not used in vaccines when even the CDC list them prominently in the excipients (ingredients) lists for multiple vaccines (see list below).
Both WI-38 and MRC-5 cell lines are derived from aborted human fetal tissue. The WI-38 cell line is widely known to be “derived from lung tissue of an aborted white (caucasian) female fetus,” as even the pro-vaccine Wikipedia website admits. As the Coriell Institute for Medical Research explains about the MRC-5 cell line / WI-38:
The MRC-5 cell line was developed in September 1966 from lung tissue taken from a 14 week fetus aborted for psychiatric reason from a 27 year old physically healthy woman. The cell morphology is fibroblast-like. The karyotype is 46,XY; normal diploid male. Cumulative population doublings to senescence is 42-48. G6PD isoenzyme is type B.
The WI-38 / MRC-5 cell lines are used in all the following vaccines, according to the CDC: (see the CDC.gov document at this link to prove it to yourself)
Adenovirus
DTaP/IPV/Hib
Hep A
Hep A / Hep B
MMR (MMR-II)
MMRV
Rabies
Varicella (chicken pox)
Zoster
