[WeLoveTrump] Mark Middleton, who introduced the perv to the president, was found May 7th hanging from a tree with a shotgun wound that blew a hole through his chest along with a cheap Dollar Store-type extension cord as a noose on an Arkansas farm belonging to a non-profit feed-the-hungry agency loosely linked to Clinton. Blew a hole through his chest? At least it wasn't a 9mm. His lungs were still internal
Oddly, the Little Rock businessman and father of two daughters created his own makeshift gallows by standing on top of a table he dragged to the hanging tree — an apparent backup plan in case the shotgun blast didn’t end his life, a law enforcement source tells RadarOnline.com.
Since his death, the Middleton investigation was closed with the cause of death marked as a suicide.
Interesting how that keeps happening in Clinton’s old stomping grounds, no matter how much evidence points to the opposite.
However, what happened a few days ago seems to have forced the investigation back open.
Ashley Haynes, who was seen visiting with Middleton a few weeks ago before his death has now also washed ashore as a victim of "suicide".

Fentanyl is quietly killing people all over the country, but this guy makes a combo plan that maximizes his pain. Did he ask the Dollar Store cashier for the breaking strength of the extension cord? Did he text his friend with a Dollar Store recommendation for her plan, or did he just do a Yelp review that she read coincidentally?

Did he shoot himself before or after the hanging?

You my friend, are not a conspiracy theorist. And no, you are probably not suffering from a mental condition. There is evil going on here. It's like the smell of death, deep in the woods. You don't have to see it to know what it is.
[americanthinker] Imagine a land where the government has the power to lock you up because the unelected bureaucrats in the Health Department think that you might, possibly have a communicable disease. They don’t have to prove you are sick. They don’t have to prove you are a health threat to others. They just need to think that, maybe, you were possibly exposed to a disease. And when I say "lock people up," I mean lock you in your home or force you from your home into a facility, detention center, camp (pick your noun) that they get to choose and you must stay there for however long they want. No time limit; so it could be for days, weeks, months, or years....
Now imagine that there is no age restriction, so the government can do this to you personally, or to your child, or to your grandchild, or to your elderly parent, or to your ailing grandparent. The nightmare continues because you have no recourse. No chance to prove that you aren’t actually infected with the disease. No chance to confront your jailers, see their supposed evidence against you or challenge their quarantine order in a court of law before getting locked up. And they can use law enforcement to help them carry out their forced quarantine or isolation orders, so the knock on your door could very well be the sheriff or police coming to remove you from your home or to "check in" on you to ensure you are locked down in your home, isolated, in accordance with the Health Department’s order against you.
This dystopian horror sounds unbelievable to an American. That the government has the ability to control one’s every move is unnatural to us. Politicians and bureaucrats being able to have unbridled power to tell you where you can and cannot go, what you can and cannot do, and who you can and cannot see is the very antithesis of what our country stands for. It flies in the face of "liberty and justice for all." After all, we are supposed to be a nation of governance of the people, by the people, and for the people.
And yet, the governor of New York and her Department of Health have promulgated a dystopian regulation that does all of that and more. The regulation is called "Isolation and Quarantine Procedures" and can be found at 10 NYCRR 2.13. It is a clear violation of the Separation of Powers because the governor is not supposed to make law, nor can an agency. Only the legislature can make law and agencies can only issue regulations that the legislature empowers them to issue. Simply put, an agency cannot just make up rules on its own whim. It must have a directive from the legislature to do so.
Remember from grade-school History class: We have three branches of government (Judicial, Executive and Legislative), all are co-equal with one another, and each has its own separate powers and duties. The governor and her agencies are in the Executive Branch of government. The Executive Branch enforces the laws that the Legislative Branch passes.
But in this instance, the Executive Branch has usurped the power of the Legislative Branch by making this regulation, which is actually an impermissible law—despite the State calling it a "regulation." The important fact is that there is no legislative enabling statute authorizing the Department of Health to make this "regulation"—not to mention the fact that the Executive Branch’s "regulation" violates numerous constitutional rights as well as New York State laws.
So, on behalf of a group of New York State Legislators together with Uniting NYS, a citizens’ group, I am suing the Governor of New York and her Department of Health to stop their "quarantine camp" regulation! The NYS Legislators standing with Uniting NYS in this lawsuit are true leaders: Senator George Borrello, Assemblyman Chris Tague, and Assemblyman Mike Lawler. They’re willing to stand up for We the People, and to help preserve the constitutional rights upon which our founding fathers based our great Nation. Additionally, Assemblyman Andrew Goodell, Assemblyman Joseph Giglio, and Assemblyman William Barclay are also publicly supporting our lawsuit by writing an Amicus Brief supporting our case.
Our lawsuit is the first and only lawsuit of its kind in the country, and its importance cannot be understated. If this "regulation" is allowed to stand, then it will signal to all agencies that they can make regulations that conflict with the Constitution and with state laws.
If that happens, then the Legislative Branch of government will no longer be a co-equal branch. Instead, it will become subservient to the Executive Branch because the agencies in the Executive Branch could simply make a rule that conflicts with our laws (or the Constitution) whenever they wanted. It would render our laws useless. It would lead to tyranny and it is We The People who suffer under a tyrannical regime.
Think about it: if we don’t win this lawsuit and quarantine camps become a new standard of government control over the people in New York, then it will spread like wildfire across America. Other states will see what New York is doing and they will follow suit. The floodgates will open and, once open, those gates may never close. So, we must win this fight, not just for New Yorkers, but for all Americans!
To find out more about our monumental lawsuit, to sign up for weekly updates, to see how you can help, or to support the lawsuit, go to Uniting NYS’s information page about the lawsuit. We are proud to be on the front lines of this fight against tyranny but we cannot do it alone, so we hope you will get involved and be a part of the movement to return the power to We The People.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] In the DPR Today, the first hearing of the trial of foreign mercenaries will take place in the DPR.
The first to go will be two British citizens who were taken prisoner in Mariupol. The trailer will be a mercenary from Morocco.
The investigation of their case took place during May and ended at the end of the month, after which the case materials were submitted to the court.
According to previous statements, during the summer of this year, the DPR plans to hold several stages of the Tribunal over Ukrainian war criminals.
The first stage of the Tribunal is planned to be held in Mariupol and it is already called the Mariupol Tribunal.
Given the severity of the crimes committed, the defendants face the death penalty in the DPR. The DPR has not used the death penalty since 2014.
PS. Both characters from Britain after being captured in their statements tried to pretend to be ordinary soldiers who were "disappointed" and who "did not commit war crimes", but these are already typical excuses from the "army of cooks and drivers".
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.
[ColonelCassad] 1. Severodonetsk.
Fighting in the industrial zone of the Azot plant. Enemy attacks in the city were not successful, the residential development of the city is under the control of Russian troops. Nevertheless, the enemy sent reinforcements to the Azot industrial zone to try to tighten the resistance in the city.
Lisichansk is not yet stormed.
2. Svyatogorsk.
The city is practically taken, a sweep is underway. The Armed Forces of Ukraine blew up the bridge across the Seversky Donets, part of the infantry fled by swimming across the river.
The great news arrived late in the evening. The troops crossed the Seversky Donets and liberated the Svyatogorsk Lavra, forming a bridgehead of operational importance.
In the evening, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine decided not to comment on the collapse of the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Svyatogorsk area. Although we are talking about the loss of the city, and even in the conditions when the RF Armed Forces seized a bridgehead on the other side of the Seversky Donets. And this is a new operating factor.
Zelensky’s gang has already started talking about the imminent “siege of Slavyansk” and the defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the northern bank of the Seversky Donets (de facto, they have already been defeated, the remnants of the Krasny Liman group have already rolled back to the southern bank, leaving the settlements in the area of Krasny Liman and Yampol).
3. Slavyansk.
Taken Ilyichevka. The troops approached Zakotny.
Seversky Donets in the direction of Slavyansk has not yet been forced.
4. Zolotoye.
After the capture of Kamyshevakha, the fighting is moving towards Vrubovka.
Fighting in the Ustinovka area north of Gorskoye.
5. Avdievka.
A small advance north of the village. The enemy was never able to succeed in counterattacks at Novoselka-2.
In the New York area, no change.
Intensive shelling of the cities of the DPR continues - Donetsk, Gorlovka, Makeevka, Yasinovataya.
6. Kharkov.
Positional battles on the line Cossack Lopan-Liptsy-Ternovoe-Rubezhnoye. Both sides are trying to attack in different areas.
7. Soledar.
Fighting in the area of Belogorovka and Berestovoye.
The enemy continues to try to push the RF Armed Forces away from the Artemovsk-Lysichansk highway. The RF Armed Forces maintain fire control over the route.
8. Izyum.
In the area of Bolshaya Kamyshevakha and Kurulka, without major changes.
In the east there is an advance towards Bogorodichnoye and the Valley.
9. Nikolaev.
The enemy stopped large-scale attacks and went on the defensive.
The RF Armed Forces returned the positions at Davydov Brod under control.
10. Marinka, Ugledar, Odessa, Velikaya Novoselovka, Novoluganskoye - no change.
Another teaser from a great analyst. Read these entry paragraphs then jump to his full analysis by clicking the title name.
[Medium] It’s been 100 days since the onset of Putin’s (re-)invasion of Ukraine, on 24 February this year. Therefore, almost everybody is publishing reviews, summaries, or discussing ‘lessons learned’ about this war. Usually, I am opposing the ‘run after pack’-behaviour and going my own way. However, the last two days so much nonsense has been published around the world, and I’ve been asked so many related questions that this time I’m going to make an exception and offer my commentary, too — and that solely for one reason: to me it appears that too many people out there simply do not understand each other. Therefore, here’s the way I see things — in a much compressed way.
Mind: from my point of view, principal problem in this war is that — no matter what happens — everybody remains insistent on his/her own point of view, to the level where standpoints are turning into little else but sarcastically absurd dogmas. Furthermore, please mind my usual sarcasm, and feel ‘warned, up front’, that — as much as critical of it — I’m an outspoken ‘EU-fan’, and thus the following is likely to appear ‘EU-centric’ to many. Related recommendation: if you don’t like that, stop reading, right here. Thanks a lot.
From West to the East, the situation appears to look like this:

Commentary by Russian blogger Donetsk
[DonRF] Donetsk in particular and Donbass in general are again covered by Ukrainian artillery. This, after four days of massive shelling, is nothing new. As in Ukrainian bestiality with stories about alleged self-shelling. They even figured out the fake TG channel, as it were, of a militia, because targeted genocide is no longer their own. People, filter the information. Although the people of Donetsk are not up to it when your city is being killed, they are not up to propaganda games.
They also covered the village of Tetkino in Kurshchina, but there is a difference, either the governor himself or his representatives immediately arrive at the place of shelling and provide assistance to the population. They can not protect, so at least they will support morally.
In our country ... did someone see Denis Vladimirovich DPR president Denis Pushilin
at the site of the shelling at least once these days? And it's his duty. And don't worry about the risk, the governors of the border regions also take risks, and don't worry about the scale, the person who has lost his property and health does not care about the global.
This is a duty, although what am I talking about ... these are the Russian governors of tactics, and Denis is our Vladimirovich strategist, it’s petty for him to calm the people. He just said something to the media today, and that there are shellings. To be honest, this is nothing new.
Khokhols collective farmers
themselves can no longer withstand the level of insanity and refute the fact that Severodonetsk was half recaptured. In real life, the counterattack led to losses among foreign mercenaries and that's it. What's new in this though? They always lie. And they also collect prostitution for militants , though the women are terrible.
And the rest of the fronts are tough battles without much progress. Just like the previous two weeks. Just the other day, a mortar battery near Zolote was destroyed.
Ukry today were on their knees, the avatar was buried. Our howitzers worked for five. The bridge in Svyatogorsk has been blown up, they will surrender the city every day. But we will not solve the problem by going to the bank of the Seversky Donets in that place. Never.
About the fact that the enemy was allowed to leave the briefing of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, this is of course true, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation never lies, but knowing the area and how the UGIL ISIS
militants operate ... true. Did you understand.
And all that remains is to wait, because:
"Of course, we share the optimism, but as for the details, we do not comment on this in any way and believe that this is the prerogative of the Ministry of Defense"
Everything is generally optimistic. If I were Podolyaka Russian youtuber
or someone like that, in this place I would insert a map, beautifully decorated and with arrows, I would write about boilers, the horror of the West in front of us and an imminent victory. But I'm not Podolyak, so I'll post it
A very optimistic front line for the coming days.
The goal, if anyone does not understand, is Slavyansk. The fighting began from Izyum back in April. And it’s a shame and whether it’s a peremoga, judge for yourself. Visibility is everything. The army is studying, volunteers are working, but there is a shortage of people, and many units require rest and recovery. Although of course this is nothing new.
[USSA News] Inflation is roaring. This is common knowledge. Inflation is not just roaring in the U.S., where gas prices have soared to well over $4.60/gallon and are averaging over $5/gallon in several states. It is roaring worldwide. Both food and gas prices having risen in Chile where we live. I encounter similar stories from elsewhere.
I’ve not seen specific statements on such from the globalist ruling class, at least not yet, but I suspect we are being set up for globalist central bank digital currency (CBDC). This is not to say there aren’t such statements. I’ve not searched exhaustively, and globalists have a penchant for telling us what they plan to do—knowing that few will seek out information that isn’t on CNN, and those who do will be marginalized as conspiracy theorists.
Here, straight from the horse’s mouth, so to speak—from the globalist Atlantic Council — is an accessible account of CBDCs and where they stand.
What we learn: in May 2020 (two months into the plan-demic), 35 countries were looking into CBDCs. Now, 105 countries representing 95 percent of global GDP, are considering them. Fifty have advanced to a development stage, with ten having launched a CBDC. Communist China has piloted a CBDC planned for launch in 2023. The European Central Bank plans to introduce a "digital euro" by mid-decade.
Of G7 countries, the U.K. and the U.S. are the furthest behind. Think Brexit; think Trumpism. These are the places where globalism has received the most pushback. The Bidenistas have responded. "Joe Biden" signed an executive order calling for the "responsible development" of a digital currency.
Nineteen of G20 countries are working on CBDCs, with 16 in development or ready for the pilot stage. Included in this list are South Korea, Japan, India, and Russia.

[FoxNews] We need to ensure that America’s food can’t be held hostage by anyone
I first drove the semi on my family’s farm when I was around 12 years old. My dad and I were leaving the field with a full load of corn, when he told me to take the wheel, giving his only advice before climbing down: "Make your corners wide."
From my family’s farm to the State Committee for the USDA Farm Service Agency to the House Agriculture Committee, I have worked in agriculture in some capacity since I could walk. Now as South Dakota’s governor, I serve alongside a third-generation cattle rancher, Lt. Gov. Larry Rhoden. We are the only farmer-rancher pair to lead a state’s executive branch, and we are both deeply concerned: America’s food supply system is at risk.
To keep our food supply consistent and affordable for all families, it is essential that no one else controls it. When another nation controls your food, it controls you. Our leaders recognized this threat and put in place risk management tools and programs to ensure Americans would never go hungry because of a foreign entity’s influence.
Coming at a time of shortages in such everyday essentials as fuel, semiconductors, and even baby formula, the American people have every right to be skeptical and to demand answers about the incidents shutting down food facilities. Americans deserve to have their leaders treat disruptions in our food system – from foreign interference to fires to shortages – with concern.
Unfortunately, they’ve gotten the exact opposite from the Biden administration. U.S. AID Administrator Samantha Power even seemed to celebrate fertilizer shortages that will force farmers to "hasten transitions" to "natural solutions, like manure and compost." Shockingly, she also said the quiet part out loud: "Never let a crisis go to waste."
While Americans have awakened to China’s military expansion and its grab for critical minerals worldwide, we have not yet realized our strategic vulnerability when it comes to our nation’s food supply.
The beef industry offers a telling example: Over time, the beef processing industry has consolidated into four mega-packers that now control 85 percent of America’s beef supply. That’s bad for competition and leads to higher prices at the grocery store. But now consider that two of these companies are based out of Brazil, and that one of them is JBS Foods. When JBS was hacked last May, 20 percent of America’s beef supply went offline overnight. That’s a strategic vulnerability that shouldn’t happen, but it did, and it will again if we don’t act to fix it.
But for years now, foreign countries have been investing in our food supply chain, buying up the chemical and fertilizer companies that make American agriculture possible. Purchasing processing facilities, they have introduced vulnerability into the food supply chains Americans rely on to eat. Today, China is buying up millions of acres of land across the United States, following the same blueprint they have used in other countries for years.
Unfortunately, they’ve gotten the exact opposite from the Biden administration. U.S. AID Administrator Samantha Power even seemed to celebrate fertilizer shortages that will force farmers to "hasten transitions" to "natural solutions, like manure and compost." Shockingly, she also said the quiet part out loud: "Never let a crisis go to waste."

The Chinese already own 1/3 of the pork processing plants in the US.

[NUUSMAX] Wars, rumors of wars, famine, and pestilence. Not that we should tempt fate, but it seems giant earthquakes are the only thing left to fulfill ancient prophesy.
It is almost cliché today to say that these are indeed biblical times. We were taught that the four horsemen of the apocalypse would be our sign.
Amidst a backdrop of unending crises here and abroad where each shockwave is worse than the last, and still, Las Vegas oddsmakers wouldn’t peg a chance of Armageddon at more than 2%.
If one had to identify today’s potential four horsemen, one could argue that Russia, China, Iran and North Korea would be burnished into each saddle. Their loathing of the system and resentment, based on ill-defined grievances has brought them in league with each other, despite having such disparate cultures.
These horses are dragging us all to World War III. With today’s killing technology, mankind’s existence could well be hanging in the balance.
The riders, despotic autocrats, are unified by a deep hatred of the current world order, as led, since World War II, by the United States and the Bretton Woods construct.
Recently, Secretary of State Antony Blinken reaffirmed the U.S. position to uphold and enforce what he called the "rules-based" order as he attempted to clarify the U.S. policy towards an increasingly aggressive China. In turn, China wasted no time attacking the secretary who barely had time to mention human rights abuses and incursions into Taiwan airspace.

"Economic sanctions look like the last hurrah of a dysfunctional concept known as the west. The Ukraine war is a catalyst of massive de-globalisation.
"Unless we cut a deal with Putin, with the removal of sanctions as a component, I see a danger of the world becoming subject to two trading blocs: the west and the rest. Supply chains will be reorganised to stay within them. Russia’s energy, wheat, metals, and rare earths will still be consumed, but not here. We keep the Big Macs.
"I am not sure the west is ready to confront the consequences of its actions: persistent inflation, reduced industrial output, lower growth, and higher unemployment."

The "four horsemen" are all on the side of the US:
War, caused by the reckless, foolish provocations of Nuland and other neocons and prolonged by Biden's band of incompetent freaks.
Pestilence, thanks to gain of function research and prolonged indefinitely and years past the normal life of a flu virus due to Fauci and Pfizer's failed gene therapy that has killed many more people than it's saved.
Famine, thanks to Biden's idiotic sanctions on Russia.
Death of US democracy, dollar dominance and world hegemony due to all of the above.

We have metal and rare earth mines, too. They just had been ignored in recent years in favour of letting other countries like Russia and various Third World nations exploit their much cheaper labour and much lower safety and health standards to provide the materials at lower cost. But if the charged price goes up or the stuff continues to be made unavailable, it will be worth starting up our mines again.
And the world will benefit from having more sources and greater reserves in case of problems.

Article like this one are pure trash vomited by American civil servants intentionally obfuscating their incompetence on macroeconomics, and now backpedaling after the immense damage done to our country economic dominance.
That bunch of clown’s leaded by the idiots in the CIA completely misjudged the Russian Federation role in the global economy.
That bunch of morons in the CIA were under the impression that Russia was more dependent on us than we are on them. Unfortunately for this bunch of highly educated idiots, Russia has more wheat than it can eat, and more oil than it can burn. Russia is a provider of primary and secondary commodities, on which the world has become dependent. Oil and gas are the biggest sources of Russian export revenues. But our dependency is most acute in other areas: food and also rare metals and rare earths. Russia is not a monopolist in any of the categories. But when the largest exporters of those commodities disappears, the rest of the world experiences physical shortages and rising prices.
If this country was a serious country the entire cia team related to the policies in russia and Ukraine will be executed.

Reduction in Russian supply causes world commodity prices to soar. Cutting Russia off from the West is cutting off the West's legs.
Wolfgang Münchau of the Financial Times: The West and the rest
The world's economic inter-dependencies are manifold and mutual. Sanctions have large network effects.
By Wolfgang Münchau
The pandemic and the war taught me something I sort of knew, but not really. It is one thing to say that the world is interconnected, as a cliché. It is quite another to observe what actually happens on the ground when those connections get torn apart.
Russia has more wheat than it can eat, and more oil than it can burn. Russia is a provider of primary and secondary commodities, on which the world has become dependent. Oil and gas are the biggest sources of Russian export revenues. But our dependency is most acute in other areas: food and also rare metals and rare earths.
Russia is not a monopolist in any of the categories. But when the largest exporters of those commodities disappears, the rest of the world experiences physical shortages and rising prices.
Russia is the world largest exporter of gas, accounting for just under 20% of global exports.
Russia is the largest exporter of oil, after Saudi Arabia, and accounts for 11% of world exports.
Russia is the largest exporter of fertilisers, and of wheat. Russia and Ukraine together account for almost a third of global wheat exports.
Russia is the world’s largest exporter of palladium, a metal that is critical in the production of catalytic converters and fuel cells.
Russia is also the largest world exporter of nickel, which is used in batteries, and in the production for hybrid cars. German industry is warning that it is reliant not only on Russian gas, but on other critical supplies from Russia.
Did we think this through? Did the foreign ministries that drew up the sanctions discuss at any point what we would do if Russia were to blockade the Black Sea and not allow Ukrainian wheat to leave the ports? Did we develop an agreed-upon response to Russian food blackmail? Or did we think we can adequately address a global starvation crisis by pointing the finger at Putin?
The lockdown taught us a lot about our vulnerability to supply chain shocks. It has reminded Europeans that there have only two routes to ship goods en masse to Asia and back: either by container, or by rail through Russia. We had no plan for a pandemic, no plan for a war, and no plan for when both are happening at the same time. The containers are stuck in Shanghai. The railways closed because of the war.
Economics sanctions work when the target is small: South Africa in the 1980s, Iran, North Korea. Russia is much larger. The relevant size indicator is not GDP. The GDP metric ignores network effects, which are sufficiently large to render the instrument of economic sanctions unsustainable.
Alternative sources exist for each and every one of those Russian commodities, but if you cut world supply by a permanent 10, 20 or 40%, depending on the commodity, you cannot physically generate the same output that we generate now at the same prices. The economy reacts through higher prices and falling demand and supply.
I have concluded that we are all too connected to be able to impose sanctions on each other without incurring massive self-harm. You may argue that it is worth it If you do, you sound like the tenured economics professor who argues that a rise in unemployment is a price worth paying..

Firstly, the first rule of the UniParty is you don't talk about the UniParty. Gotta keep the rubes believing or it's game over. See professional wrestling, for example.
Second, what makes you think the UniParty is optimizing for American national interest? The Uniparty is about Power and Money and getting more of both. Heh, national intererst, how quaint!
