According to a January 2023 Rasmussen poll, 56% of U.S. voters prefer that the U.S. government shut down rather than raising the debt ceiling. See here.

100,000 nurses left the industry from 2020 to 2021
The Bronx. Jan. 16. America’s 3 million nurses were on the front lines of the alleged COVID-19 “pandemic” over the past three years. These nurses likely became the most naturally-immune segment of the population from the earliest months of the outbreak in 2020.
Then came December 2020, when the government and Big Pharma rolled out alleged mRNA “vaccines.” Soon President Biden issued executive orders mandating vast swaths of the industry must submit to experimental MRNA injections. Thousands more quit, were fired for refusing, or became injured from the shots.
Now it is reported that 100,000 nurses left the U.S. medical system between 2020 and 2021.

Brazil issues arrest warrants for comedians and journalists who criticized government
Rio De Janeiro. Dec. Many international observers report that Brazil is currently undergoing a communist-style takeover along the lines of Russia’s October Revolution in 1917 (just as many countries are currently undergoing communist-style takeovers). Elections have been rigged. Opponents of the government have fled or are in hiding. And now key officials have begun rounding up dissidents.
Brazilian Supreme Court Chief Justice Alexandre de Moraes–a close friend and ally of Brazil’s socialist president Lula–“continues to crack down on the pro-Bolsonaro opposition ahead of the scheduled communist takeover Jan. 1.” Moraes has issued arrest orders for vocal opposition speakers such as Indigenous Chief Serere Xavante, Pastor Fabiano Oliveira and federal deputies Carlos Von and Capitão Assumção on charges of “undemocratic acts.”
Justice Moraes blocked hundreds of anti-government posts on social media, seized bank accounts of dissidents, and issued numerous arrest warrants for critics of the government–without the authority of Brazil’s justice department.
But while Xavante, Oliveira and Assumcao have been rounded up, several other noteworthy dissidents have fled. Comedians Eustáquio and Fugazza “are now in hiding or on the run. They were seen at the protests outside the Presidential Alvorada Palace in Brasilía recently, where the Federal Police have been looking for them.”

US Postal Service FAILING TO DELIVER MAIL for weeks in parts of Washington
The US Postal Service enjoys every advantage in the market; yet it loses billions annually. It owns some of the most valuable and prestigious real estate in America, pays no state or federal property, income, or corporate tax, and has the power of eminent domain. And most significantly, the USPS has a government-enforced monopoly on its core functions.
Now the agency is UTTERLY FAILING to deliver mail. People in WA are reporting lost passports, ballots and other important mail.
The Postal Service claims it is suffering from a labor shortage. YET IT PAYS ITS EMPLOYEES TOO MUCH. Thousands of people apply for every opening. (In fact a few years ago the agency CAPPED applications because it received so many for each opening.)

The Covid regime: government officials live freely while nongovernment slaves submit to a hundred rules
A recent press conference by the White House press secretary revealed the stark distinction between government and nongovernment persons regarding the dreaded covid-19 germ. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked if the Biden Administration had sought to determine how President Biden contracted the alleged pandemic germ. Jean-Pierre responded “I don’t think that matters.”
Government officials like presidents or agency officials are able to work, socialize or isolate, at their choosing. Nongovernment individuals on the other hand, are subjected to wide-ranging “contact tracing” whereupon government health officials perform an exhaustive recounting of each subject’s footsteps, contacts, acquaintances, and work associations. “Health officials” can and do order entire jobsites and work stations shut down for weeks at a time if one worker “tests positive” for the dreaded virus.
Nongovernment individuals like Novak Djokovic, the world’s greatest tennis player, who recently won the Wimbledon tennis tournament in Britain, is BARRED FROM ENTRY into the United States, Australia, and other countries, merely because he chooses not to be injected with experimental covid shots. These laws give government-favoring athletes a tremendous advantage in tennis rankings. Yet government officials like Biden are able to dictate the terms of their own convalescence regarding the same disease.

“Complete Collapse”: Government “ESG” Policies Destroyed Sri Lanka’s Economy in ONE YEAR
There is an ancient common law rule of corporate management that corporate directors must seek profits over any other concerns. But global elites and governments around the world have spent years trying to force businesses to obey government commands regarding environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) concerns rather than profits.
But ESG policies seem to bring societal collapse wherever they are implemented.
Sri Lanka is one of the countries which has implemented the Paris Accord, the Green New Deal, and other ESG-type controls to the highest degree.
Sri Lanka has run out of fuel and is facing mass hunger.
A chemical fertilizer ban in 2021, to cut nitrogen waste and implement greener farming practices, drastically reduced crop yields and damaged Sri Lanka’s trade balance. “The decision to overnight shift away from synthetic fertilizers was an absolute disaster,” economist Peter Earle told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
The Prime Minister declared weeks ago that the country has gone “bankrupt.”
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimated in the report that crop production for the 2021-2022 season decreased by 40% to 50%, and so far farmers have only utilized a quarter of the available land for the upcoming season, according to a report dated June 9.
Inflation in Sri Lanka stood at 54.6% in June, according to Trading Economics, with food prices rising 80.1% and transportation 128% since May, Reuters reported. Half a million people have sunk into poverty as of early 2022, The Guardian reported.
Sri Lanka has an almost perfect ESG score at 98.1, tied with Tajikistan, according to data from World Economics. For comparison, Sweden sits at 96.1 and the United States at 50.7.

Vast majority of Americans now say government hurts them more than it helps them
A new poll shows that a majority of Americans feel that federal government actions over the past six months have hurt them.
The Monmouth University poll, released on July 5, 2022, reveals that the number of Americans who are struggling financially has jumped by double digits in the past year.
The poll, which was carried out on a representative sample of 978 adults in the United States, shows that a majority (57 percent) said that the actions of the federal government over the past six months have hurt their family.
This is the first time ever in the history of Monmouth polling that the share of Americans blaming Washington for making their chief concern worse has climbed above 50 percent.
A mere 8 percent said federal government policies have helped them while 34 percent said Washington actions have not had a meaningful impact when it comes to their main concern, the poll also shows.

Americans’ trust in news plummets to an all-time low
Americans’ confidence in newspapers and television news has plummeted to an all-time low, according to the latest annual Gallup survey of trust in U.S. institutions.
A 2021 poll from Pew Research Center found that Republicans are far less likely to trust media sources that are considered “mainstream.”
Details: Television news is today considered the second-least trusted institution in the country, following Congress, according to the poll.
Generally, the designation mainstream just means government-supporting and government-supported. US Senate hearings in the 1970s found that many “mainstream” news sources were secretly funded by the CIA and/or other government agencies.
Just 5% of Republicans said they had “a great deal or quite a lot of confidence” in newspapers, compared to 35% of Democrats.
Only 8% of Republicans said they had “a great deal or quite a lot of confidence” in TV news, compared to 20% of Democrats.

“Truckpocalypse” begins in California as 70,000 truckers forced off the road by regulations
One major agenda of “the left” (i.e., the government) is the push to require every worker to be an “employee” rather than a free-lancer or an independent contractor. “Employees” are more monitored, documented, and regimented; their employers must withhold certain wages from their checks and regularly report details of each “employee,” including identification, address, social security number, tax information, hours and locations. “Employers” must also provide workers compensation and unemployment insurance.
“The left” (meaning the government) in California is now so powerful that they are forcing 70,000 independent contractor truckers (“owner operators”) to leave California. Every trucker must be an “employee.”
The draconian new law, “AB-5” will have devastating repercussions on an already fragile supply chain, increasing costs and worsening runaway inflation.
“Owner-operators” who own their own trucks and who pick up contract jobs from the hundreds of shipping and transport companies are now banned and criminalized.

“Former” FBI agents control “content moderation” at Twitter
Here AntiWar.com’s Scott Horton talks with Alan MacLeod about the surprising number of former FBI agents who have joined the content moderation department at Twitter.
Remember during the Obama Administration when Facebook’s and Twitter’s CEOs and execs visited and had meetings in the White House dozens of times? (Some reports said hundreds of times.)
And then–around 2016–all these major platforms began to roll out “content moderation,” “fact checking,” and ‘anti-disinformation’ programs to censor anti-government speech and criticism.
MacLeod describes numerous specific examples of people who have spent their careers working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation before “pivoting to join the tech company” prior to retirement (which high-paid federal officers almost never actually do). MacLeod also talks about the research he’s done into Facebook, Google, TikTok and Reddit.
