What the F#%^ Happened in 1971? The Beginning of our Current Economic Collapse…

Nixon Takes Us off The Gold Standard and Dollar Debasement and Economic Collapse Begins

by wtfhappenedin1971.com

Nixon Addresses the Nation When He Declares the US to Be Bankrupt and Unable to Pay Its Debts in Gold As Promised. While he didn’t use those terms that is the correct term for when you can’t pay what you have promised

Etienne Note: Hat Tip to Epic Cash’s Max Freeman for bringing this website to my attention

. What is most interesting is that the owner of the site failed to “Lead with the Punchline” and doesn’t explain What the F%#$ Happened in 1971?  The short answer is that President Nixon took the country off the final vestiges of the gold standard.  The beginning of the debasement started with communist President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1933 but foreign governments could still purchase and redeem US Government Bonds in physical gold up until 1971.  Here is a summary from Quora:

  • It was a Sunday, August 16, 1971, and President Richard Nixon suspended convertibility of the US dollar into gold, effectively ending the 25-year Bretton Woods era of fixed currency exchange rates against the US dollar. US gold reserves were facing enormous pressure due to balance of payment concerns, the Vietnam War debt and Great Society programs, and the ensuing monetary inflation. A growing number of countries began to redeem their dollar holdings for gold…

An Argument for the Public Hanging of Pedophiles, Police, and Politicians

Why Hanging these Criminals Publicly will Produce a Net Positive Impact on Our Society

Etienne Note: I know this is going to cause some controversy, but I hope that everyone will read the entire article before making a judgement about the contents off the title alone.  The author's point is that police and politicians belong in the same category as pedophiles because police and politicians are also engaged in harmful immorality that is quite literally destroying our society. There simply wouldn't be an inflationary corrupt money system or political programs and handouts importing impoverished immigrants looking to get on the gravy train of $10,000 debit cards, hotel living and Obama phones.  In the case of the police, they are agreeing to use violence against peaceful people to enforce the whims of politicians.  Politicians are tricking the population into voting for immorality and then participating in the theft and redistribution of society's resources not to mention "vaccine" mandates, lockdowns and wars based on lies and manufactured intelligence.

Mark Twain was right when he said: "There is no distinctly American criminal class - except Congress."  There are good people serving in legislatures but they are few and far between.  I have coined a term for them: Privaticians and the difference is they are only acting to protect life, liberty and property.  They would never vote to rob and redistribute. I believe ultimately, all elected "representatives" are going to have to choose a side. Are you protecting the people OR voting for theft and redistribution... From the sound of the article below and the results of the poll, many are starting to tire of getting robbed by the politicians and their immoral enforcers...

America’s Top Companies by Revenue (1994 vs. 2023)

This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.

A lot has changed since the 1990s, especially in the business world.

To highlight these changes, we’ve visualized the top 10 U.S. companies by revenue, in both 1994 and 2023. Figures for 1994 were sourced from the American Business History Center, while 2023 figures come from the latest Fortune 500 ranking.

Note that 1994 figures were not adjusted for inflation, but we’ll get to that further below.

Based on this data, we can see that today’s top 10 list looks very different from what it used to…

Kombucha microbes break down fat stores like fasting – without the effort

It may not be to everyone's taste, but kombucha tea may be able to deliver the benefits of fasting, without the hardest part – the fasting itself.

The microbes that make up kombucha's SCOBY have a surprising effect on human cells

By Bronwyn Thompson

It may not be to everyone's taste, but kombucha tea may be able to deliver the benefits of fasting, without the hardest part – the fasting itself. Researchers found that when the yeasts and bacteria from the fermented, sweetened tea colonized the gut, they altered fat metabolism, without any other dietary changes, resulting in lower fat stores.

At the center of these findings is the flora found in kombucha tea's SCOBY (Symbiotic Cultures of Bacteria and Yeasts), the gelatinous starter, rich in microbes, found floating near the surface of the fermented liquid. The probiotic microbes, including species of Acetobacter, Lactobacillus and Komagataeibacter genera, have previously been linked to a range of positive health benefits including lowering blood pressure.

Now, researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have discovered how, in Caenorhabditis elegans, kombucha's microbes directly influence intestinal gene expression, particularly in those linked to fat metabolism. The introduced flora boosted the proteins needed to break down fat, while conversely they helped dial down the formation of proteins that help build the lipid (or fat) compounds known as triglycerides.

While triglycerides are the most common forms of fat circulating in the human body, and play an important role in energy storage and release, excess calorie intake can result in high levels of these lipids and drive comorbidities of obesity such as heart disease…

Advanced Urban Survival Skills EVERYONE Should Have

Streets and public spaces in large cities present a vast set of dangers and threats, even in more civilized and safer countries.

by Fabian Ommar

Streets and public spaces in large cities present a vast set of dangers and threats, even in more civilized and safer countries. That’s because criminals, predators, and deranged and evil people are present in greater numbers in urban agglomerations; the higher density of people and infrastructure means more opportunities for lawbreakers.

That’s becoming more evident today with the masses of “cultural enrichers” invading North America, the UK, and mainland Europe. But that’s not all: people everywhere are also losing their minds, thanks to the crisis and instability, causing friction and violence to rise. I believe this mass insanity will get worse as time passes.

This time, I wanted to go beyond the typical “situational awareness” advice and provide more practical and direct actions to improve personal safety, navigate big city streets, and deal with various situations and unwanted players…

Autism day: shall we celebrate the carnage? Would 20 million dollars be enough for you?

1 in 24 babies have ASD. In 2004, CDC proved that vaccines cause autism but keep pushing them. Why? Let's turn it into VaxAutism Awareness Day!

by Scientific Progress

Autism is practically non-existent in unvaccinated populations such as the Amish.

If we apply the 2018-2020 trend to 2024, the ratio is 1:24. Even worse in boys: possibly 1:20. Compare with 1:20,000 in the 50s. 1000x more!

The CDC stopped counting for a reason: the panic might give votes to candidates like Bobby Kennedy Jr. to force the CDC to finally publish the real cause of autism.

Trying to cover the sun with a finger?

18 Dec 2007. Globalists tried to hide the autism tsunami by normalizing it with UN’s April 2nd World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD).

Previously, masons have tried the same by founding, funding, infiltrating or co-opting societies of parents of autistic children, censoring the vax-injury evidence, causing the younger siblings to also get brain-injured, because the trusting parents kept injecting them with poison…

New survey confirms that vaccines are, by far, the #1 cause of chronic disease in America

Nobody should be vaccinated. Ever. Especially not during pregnancy. And vaccines are also the #1 cause of sexual orientation issues. The numbers are consistent with other published studies.

Understanding and Overcoming Vaccine Hesitancy - Advance Care Planning  (ACP) Decisions

by Steve Kirsch

I recently asked my readers to tell me about their chronic health conditions.

The single most important conclusion is this

In all 58 conditions we asked about where we had sufficient data to compute an odds ratio, the vaccine always made the condition worse.

In other words, the medical community has gotten it backwards for decades. When you combine this with the realization that vaccines provide a benefit that is too small to measure as described here for the highly acclaimed COVID and flu vaccines, it’s clear that we should be stopping most, if not all, vaccines.

In fact, for the COVID vaccines, we have FOIA data showing that the vaccines make things worse and over a dozen attempts to ask the Santa Clara County of Public Health for comment have been ignored.

This is fundamentally why the NIH will never do a study comparing the highly vaccinated to the completely unvaccinated: it would blow the narrative and destroy their credibility…

Ross Ulbricht Turns 40 in Prison – Silkroad Foundation Brings Fight to #FREEROSS Back to Forefront

Ross gets 40 Years for a Building a Website, Sam Bankman Fried Gets 25 Years for Stealing Billions & Ruining Lives

by The Silkroad Foundation

2024: Ross Turns 40 in Prison… The State of the World

Last week, Ross Ulbricht turned 40 years old, sitting at USP Tucson as a prisoner, serving out his 240 year sentence, for creating an e-Commerce website… The very next day, Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years, for stealing Billions of dollars from people, committing fraud on a massive scale, and supporting criminals worldwide.

Just 2 weeks before, it was announced that Mark Zuckerberg and Meta are being investigated for the exact same charges that Ross received, because millions worldwide use Facebook to sell illicit substances. Obviously Mark will line somebody’s pockets and never see the inside of a jail cell, though.

Just a week after Ross’s birthday, the US government moved $2B in funds they seized from the Silkroad, including sending 2,000 Bitcoins straight to someone’s Coinbase wallet. Anyone want to take a guess at what they’re going to spend it on? Weapons & Drugs or Healthcare & Roads?

Meanwhile, presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has said that he will pardon Ross on day 1 if he is elected, and multiple states have decriminalized most, if not all, of the substances that were being exchanged on the Silkroad…

Seattle closes gifted and talented schools due to racial inequity

Seattle Public Schools has shuttered its gifted and talented program due to racial inequities and will replace it with a model that requires teachers to come up with indi...

By Rachel Bowman

Seattle has shuttered its gifted and talented programs because the school board determined they had too many white and Asian students.

The district began phasing out its Highly Capable Cohort schools and classrooms for advanced students in the 2021-22 school year because they found it had too many racial inequities. School bosses said black and Hispanic students were underrepresented at the schools.

According to Seattle Public School data, of the highly capable students in the 2022-23 school year, 52 percent were white, 16 percent were Asian and 3.4 percent were black.

During a January 22, 2020, school board meeting, parents of black students in the Highly Capable Cohort asked the board to consider finding ways to incorporate students of color into the gifted program rather than shut it down.

Then school board vice president Chandra Hampson slammed those parents saying, 'this is a pretty masterful job at tokenizing a really small community of color within the existing cohort…
