This Week in the World Affairs Brief
WHY WE WILL NEVER WIN ANOTHER ELECTION THAT CHANGES THINGS
After the election “results” were finalized this week, Republicans have a paltry 7 seat majority in the House (expected to stay that way) and Democrats have at least half the seats in the senate. The impossible results out of states like Nevada, Arizona and Pennsylvania are evidence of my point that, even though conservatives can still win, from now on it won’t be enough to make as big of a difference. Yes, a few good constitutional conservatives won election in the midterms and they will join the couple of dozen members of the Freedom Caucus in the House to verbally challenge the status quo, but they are up against all 200+ Democrats and almost 180 mainstream or RINO Republicans who won’t listen to them. None of their legislative efforts have passed though I applaud their trying to right the ship of state. This small band of real conservatives does have the power to withhold their vote and deny RINO Kevin McCarthy the Speaker’s chair in the House, but unless a few Democrats cross over and vote for McCarthy, someone else in the mainstream will be chosen. Andy Biggs of Arizona, a real conservative, tried to challenge McCarthy for the nomination and lost big, which shows the sad state of affairs in Republican politics. This week in the brief, I explain why these election results reinforce my belief that there is no hope that this country will be turned around and that there are dark years ahead, even though the Lord does watch over a remnant of the faithful. It follows my sentiments on yesterday’s Thanksgiving holiday, refusing to repeat the worn out prayers thanking God for living in this “free” country, but rather thanking him for the few freedoms we have left and a little more time to prepare for what’s coming.

Gingrich: New Trump Special Counsel Is a ‘Left Wing Hatchet Man’
Nov 27, 2022
The former speaker called Smith’s impartiality into question, citing his involvement in what Gingrich called the IRS scandal. The House Oversight Committee in 2014 found Smith to be responsible for arranging a meeting with an official in the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to scrutinize nonprofits’ political activities. This meeting would set in motion the IRS’s campaign targeting Tea Party groups, which later resulted in a public apology from the agency and a $3.5 million Justice Department settlement for two lawsuits.

Fauci Could Not Recall Key Details During Deposition: Louisiana Attorney General
Nov 27, 2022
“It was amazing, literally, that we spent seven hours with Dr. Fauci—this is a man who single-handedly wrecked the U.S. economy based upon ‘the science, follow the science.’ And over the course of seven hours, we discovered that he can’t recall practically anything dealing with his COVID response,” Landry told The Epoch Times after leaving the deposition. “He just said, ‘I can’t recall, I haven’t seen that. And I think we need to put these documents into context,'” Landry added.

Biden's 'Buy American' Rules Undermining Infrastructure Spending
Nov 27, 2022
That means that $1.2 trillion won't go nearly as far as it could if project managers had unfettered access to the global market for materials.
Washington, D.C.'s transit system is a case study in these effects. Over a ten-year period, Buy American rules made the city's revamp of its train fleet cost an extra $400 million, according to Reason. That's the equivalent of an extra 150 train cars.

The mask is off: WEF's Klaus Schwab declares China a 'role model'
Nov 27, 2022
A role model? A country of zero freedom, low social mobility, social credit scores, and constant government surveillance? Who the heck, even among the revolutionary wokester crowd, is openly calling for a Chinese model for their own countries?
China in fact is a giant prison, complete with slave labor, sweatshops, low wages, continuous lockdowns and actual laogai, or Gulags. Challenge the government in any way and you'll be packed off to one for years upon years in no time. In the case of the Uighurs, just being the wrong nationality is enough for such punishment.

Cancel Culture’s War on History, Heritage and the Freedom to Think for Yourself
Nov 27, 2022
We are being shunted down the road to that dystopian future right now, propelled along by politically correct forces that, while they may have started out with the best of intentions, have fallen prey to the authoritarian siren song of the Nanny State, which has promised to save the populace from evils that only a select few are wise enough to recognize as such.
As a result, we are being infantilized ad nauseum, dictated to incessantly, and forcefully insulated from “dangerous” sights and sounds and ideas that we are supposedly too fragile, too vulnerable, too susceptible, or too ignorant to be exposed to without protection from the so-called elite.

Sam Bankman-Fried and the Pandemic Industrial Complex
Nov 22, 2022
This is the modern political machine in all its stark, inhuman nihilism. Once the machine is fed its priority, whether through fear, fraud, or outright corruption, then all its cogs snap into place—from the politicians and officials to the billionaires and journalists—and the only wrong a person can do is to oppose its priorities. The intent never mattered. The legality never mattered. The truth never mattered. The data never mattered. The results never mattered.

Gun Sales Skyrocket After Oregon Passes Measure Restricting Gun Rights
Nov 21, 2022
With just three weeks until Measure 114 takes effect, background checks to purchase a gun jumped from about 850 per day before the election to 4,000 per day after, according to Oregon State Police.
The new law, in addition to limiting sales of magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, will require buyers to obtain a permit to purchase any firearm. To obtain that permit, the measure requires buyers to complete firearms training in a class that does not yet exist in the state. It also requires law enforcement to create a publicly accessible database of those who apply for or obtain a permit.

US Prosecutors Opened Probe Of FTX Months Before Collapse
Nov 21, 2022
While Southern District prosecutors did exactly nothing to contain the FTX fraud enabled by both the fawning media and bribed politicians, that's not to say they have never acted: according to Bloomberg, they previously invoked the Bank Secrecy Act in 2020 against senior employees at the Seychelles-based crypto platform BitMEX, which allegedly allowed more than $209 million of transactions with known dark-net markets. BitMEX argued it didn’t need anti-money laundering or know-your-customer policies in part because it didn’t have US customers and wasn’t registered in the US. But clients circumvented the platform’s attempts to block IP addresses in the US, according to a government sentencing memo filed in federal court.

Silver Demand On Pace For Record Year
Nov 21, 2022
There are signs that silver is significantly undervalued. The silver-gold ratio is currently over 83-1. That means it takes over 83 ounces of silver to buy an ounce of gold. To put that into perspective, the average in the modern era has been between 40:1 and 50:1. Historically, the ratio has always returned to that mean. And when it does, it does it with a vengeance. The ratio fell to 30-1 in 2011 and below 20-1 in 1979.
