Colossal Financial Pyramid: BlackRock and The WEF “Great Reset” F. William Engdahl A virtually unregulated investment firm today exercises more political and financial influence than the Federal Reserve and most governments on this planet. The firm, BlackRock Inc., the world’s largest asset manager, invests a staggering $9 trillion in client funds worldwide, a sum more than double the annual GDP of the Federal Republic of Germany. This colossus sits atop the pyramid of world corporate ownership, including in China most recently. Since 1988 the company has put itself in a position to de facto control the Federal Reserve, most Wall Street mega-banks, including Goldman Sachs, the Davos World Economic Forum Great Reset, the Biden Administration and, if left unchecked, the economic future of our world. BlackRock is the epitome of what Mussolini called Corporatism, where an unelected corporate elite dictates top down to the population. How the world’s largest “shadow bank” exercises this eno

TEN THINGS I LEARNED FROM THE PANDEMIC by  James Hankins I learned the following ten lessons about democratic society from the pandemic. Some of these things I already knew in an abstract way from historical study and reflection on experience, but their truth has been vividly demonstrated by the events of the pandemic year—or what now looks like becoming the pandemic years, plural.  1) Science is the default god of a civilization without religion or shared standards of right and wrong. The pseudo-religion of diversity and multiculturalism, which undermines shared moral standards, in effect enthrones Science as god, since Science is the only authority widely believed to be value-neutral. The great god Scientia (to be distinguished from the actual sciences) is not in fact value-neutral, but in public she plays the part of a lady who loves the truth but is flexible when it comes to other moral principles. Hence public science cannot give us “values,” that is, the practical wisdom to make

Sabateur posted an article from Miri AF in the comments, which I was impressed with. Very interesting writer.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Are we really living in the midst of a deadly plague? Part one.   Written by: Miri |  August 10, 2021  |  No Comments If you look at world population figures and global death rates over the past ten years, you will see 2020 - the year of the deadliest plague ever known to man - was in no way remarkable. The global population increased (yes, increased), by 1.05% - a slight decrease on 2019's 1.08% increase, which was a slight decrease on 2018's 1.10% and 2017's 1.12%. (Source: https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/... .) In other words, the change between 2019 and 2020 was absolutely no different to the change between other recent years. The population increases every year, but that increase is declining by a couple of decimal percentages every year. This has been the consistent trend for years and 2020 was abs

New Confirmation that Climate Models Overstate Atmospheric Warming by Ross McKitrick Two new peer-reviewed papers from independent teams confirm that climate models overstate atmospheric warming and the problem has gotten worse over time, not better. The papers are  Mitchell et al. (2020)  “The vertical profile of recent tropical temperature trends: Persistent model biases in the context of internal variability”   Environmental Research Letters , and  McKitrick and Christy (2020)  “Pervasive warming bias in CMIP6 tropospheric layers”  Earth and Space Science.  John and I didn’t know about the Mitchell team’s work until after their paper came out, and they likewise didn’t know about ours. Mitchell et al. look at the surface, troposphere and stratosphere over the tropics (20N to 20S). John and I look at the tropical and global lower- and mid- troposphere.  Both papers test large samples of the latest generation (“Coupled Model Intercomparison Project version 6” or CMIP6) climate models,
