matt taibbi writes here about his experiences at the congressional hearing on his coverage of certain events, and having watched a fair amount of these 'hearings' it rounds out what i saw;

Civil liberties have officially gone out of style, a phenomenon on full display at the Weaponization of Government Hearing at which I just testified.

The circus-like scene featured a ranking member calling two journalists a “direct threat,” a Stanford-educated former prosecutor who confused accusation with proof, and a Texas congressman, Colin Allred, who proudly held up the results of an adjudicated criminal case to argue against due process in another arena. When I asked Allred’s permission to point out that he’d just demonstrated that a proper forum for dealing with campaign abuses already existed in the court system, he basically told me to shut up.

“No,” he said, “you don’t get to ask questions here.”

I then had to keep my mouth shut as an elected official shifted to Dad mode to admonish me to “take off the tinfoil hat,” because “there’s not a “vast conspiracy,” by which he meant he apparently meant my last three months of research.

Allred then went on MSNBC, where my former friend Chris Hayes with a straight face suggested he didn’t see a “government angle” in either the Twitter Files or our testimony — both of which were more or less entirely about that issue — and Allred beamed in agreement, saying the discovery of Truthout and Ultra Maga Dog Mom on federal blacklists was just the FBI “pointing out that certain actions are probably Russian disinformation ops.” He also offered the ironic criticism that some people are “stuck in an information loop, in which you’re not allowing outside information in”:..........more.......

 this must be a coincidence as it couldn't be any sort of advance knowledge as that would be criminal;

The Times of Israel reports that israeli firms were able to transfer $1 billion from Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) to Israeli accounts before the bank was seized:

“Israel’s two largest banks, Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim, set up a situation room that has been operating around the clock to help firms transfer their money from SVB — before it was seized — to accounts in Israel. Over the past few days, teams at LeumiTech, the high-tech banking arm of Bank Leumi, have been able to help their Israeli clients transfer about $1 billion to Israel, the bank said.

SVB, the “go-to lender of technology startups in Israel and the US,” failed “after depositors hurried to withdraw money last week amid anxiety over its health.”

It was the second-biggest bank failure in US history.

 another white supremacist gets taught not to fool with african types;

In 1994, in Wilmington, Delaware, a black girl I went to school with threw a party. Her house was in a good area, but a block this way or that, and you were looking for trouble. While I was at this party, I ran out of cigarettes and figured I’d walk to the corner store. I made it to the store and started to head back. When I stopped to light a cigarette, six black guys around my age suddenly surrounded me. It was as if they appeared out of thin air. One of them put a gun to my head, and when I told him I had no money, he said, “F*ck you cracker we don’t want your money!”

At that point, I figured I was going to die, and decided to go down swinging. I remember making contact with just one of them before hitting the pavement and getting pistol whipped. The five without a pistol kicked and punched me over and over again. I don’t know how long it lasted, but I remember looking at the pavement and seeing a huge puddle of my blood. I played dead, and it worked. One of them said, “Yeah, he’s dead!” and they left. I got up, soaked in blood, and wobbled my way to my friend’s house. After about a hundred feet, the gang noticed I was alive, and came back at me, this time with their belts in hand. They beat me with the buckles and I was knocked to the pavement, again, and I passed out.

When I woke up, I managed to get on my feet and started hobbling towards my friend’s house for the second time, praying I would live to see my son born. Then a truck pulled up with its high beams on. When I saw the driver’s door open, I dropped to my knees and said, “F*ck it, kill me.” But the driver was a concerned citizen. “I’m not gonna kill you!” he said, before asking who shot me. I was so drenched in blood he assumed bullets had to have been involved........https://www.amren.com/blog/2023/03/they-didnt-want-my-money/

 pcr presents some evidence and asked some good questions about the federal reserve;

What Is Going On in the Federal Reserve’s Head?

Paul Craig Roberts

Based on reporting of economic data that John Williams has long shown to be unreliable, as have the constant revisions of the data, Federal Reserve chairman Powell is threatening higher interest rates. This threat comes amidst large layoffs of employees by tech companies, GM buyouts of salaried employees, signs of possible bank problems, and by reports that 40% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck on credit cards. Higher interest rates will be no more helpful to an economy dependent on consumer credit than the raised rates already in place, and they cannot be helpful for derivative trades  on the volatility of interest rates.

Nor will higher interest rates be helpful to the housing market and construction jobs.

To clarify for you what the Federal Reserve is doing:  The central bank is pushing the economy into recession and unemployment, and possibly into another financial crisis if Wall Street has not cleaned up its act, for the purpose of preventing wages from rising to catch up with the prices that have already risen!  There is no point to this.  It will increase debt and make debt more difficult with which to deal.  

Wherever you look anywhere in the Western world you see nothing but absolute craziness. Intelligence and leadership have disappeared from the Western world. 

The US is intervening in the affairs of major nuclear powers  and is committed to protecting Ukraine’s borders while the US border remains wide open, and President Biden and the Democrats threaten higher taxes on top of the Federal Reserve’s higher interest rates. Tell me how this makes any sense..........https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2023/03/12/what-is-going-on-in-the-federal-reserves-head/

 it seems that the empire may be attempting to intimidate the hungarians so the question becomes what are their chances of remaining on their current course and their ability to deflect the empire;

The Deep State, using the US, has certainly been spectacularly tightening its grip on Hungary recently, by letting us know in various ways that we are just a small province in their empire, with no independence or liberty. The open contempt displayed by Ambassador David Pressmann towards Hungary and her traditions and customs is apparent. Last Christmas he made a video with his “husband” to wish the Hungarians “happy holidays” instead of Merry Christmas, while they both acted in a very disrespectful way in the video, joking about the Hungarian language. His presence with his “family” (with children!) is in itself a provocation against our Basic Law that prohibits the marriage of same-sex partners by stating that marriage is concluded between one man and one woman. The gay guy seemingly enjoys acting subversively. He also commanded top leaders of the Hungarian court system last year in a personal meeting at the Budapest embassy — a scandalous event that stirred up national outrage.

My conclusion from the recent events is that the Powers That Be have actually sent Hungary a declaration of war. We are now targets in a 5GW (Fifth Generation Warfare) action, as well as being handled as a vassal state used for geopolitical purposes as a new beachhead in the theater of “war against Russia”. Unfortunately, a vassal state is hardly distinguishable from an enemy state in US foreign policy.

I think Hungary is in an undeclared state of war now, in many ways, whether she wants it or not. Interesting times ahead!............more.........
