Some students from Middleton High School in Florida were in attendance for Gov. Ron DeSantis’ announcement of a cybersecurity training initiative at the University of South Florida.
As the Florida governor approached the podium, he said: “You do not have to wear those masks. I mean, please take those off. Honestly, it’s not doing anything. We gotta stop with this covid theater. If you want to wear it fine, but this is ridiculous.”
The media immediately went bananas at the audacity of the governor for giving students the option to remove their masks.
The media is apoplectic (see below for headlines). Newsweek said DeSantis “scolded” them. Business Insider said Desantis “snapped” at them. Yahoo News says DeSantis “bullied” them. CNN said that DeSantis “yelled” at them.

Kamala and Pete have been in a contest to see who can use the most words without actually saying anything. Previously, Pete set the record during his presidential bid of 2020. However, in 2021 Kamala got serious about the contest. Harris fired her communications team and brought in new brand image consultants to help her finally achieve that first-place status which was so elusive.
Appearing on NBC’s “Today” show with Savannah Guthrie, the additional training paid off. Kamala Harris was asked about the U.S. economic impact of sanctions on Russia and whether stopping purchases of Russian oil was possible. This was the opening Harris had been looking for to highlight her sharpened linguistics.
Using the communication team notes for reference (watch her eyes), for almost a minute Kamala Harris assembled 247 various words in a random sequence. The result is remarkable. WATCH: (prompted):

Everything including oil, natural gas, wheat, and fertilizer is skyrocketing in price right now. Ten- and twenty-year records are being eclipsed, as energy prices are soaring on the back of oil flirting with $114 a barrel. Unfortunately, here comes more inflationary pain, and everything is being blamed on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Toward the end of last year, we warned that fertilizer costs were going to harvest costs in 2022 (field to fork, go deep), long before Ukraine came into the picture. Unfortunately, future wheat prices reached $10.59 a bushel today, the highest since March 2008. Additionally, corn prices have passed their highest rate since December 2012.
It may seem like those crops are not that important. However, keep in mind that corn, wheat and soybeans represent the baseline for not only grain production in the U.S, but they are also the primary feed products for proteins: chicken, pork and beef. We are going to feel this second wave surge at the grocery store. Hopefully everyone has prepped.
Additionally, oil prices have jumped to near eight-year highs. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose as high as $113.94 a barrel, the highest since June 2014, and has been trading around $111 for most of the day. If you were paying $4/gal for gas, these oil rates add around another .50¢ today alone. Yes, you read that correctly, inbound tankers of gasoline will offload at your convenience store at a rate ten percent higher than yesterday.
Making matters worse, the Joe Biden energy policy -focused almost exclusively on green energy- is making any investment in domestic oil production tenuous at best. The major oil companies are wary of spending money for U.S. energy development in a climate where the U.S. government is specifically against that effort.
(WASHINGTON) – […] investors seem to be reluctant to invest in fossil fuel stocks. Major US oil stocks have lagged behind the broader market for most of the last two years, teaching executives a hard lesson: Use the recent windfalls to reward investors, not sink more wells.
“Oil and gas companies do not want to drill more,” said Pavel Molchanov, an analyst at Raymond James. “They are under pressure from the financial community to pay more dividends, to do more share buybacks instead of the proverbial ‘drill baby drill,’ which is the way they would have done things 10 years ago. Corporate strategy has fundamentally changed.”
To that end, while companies like ExxonMobil, Chevron, Marathon and Phillips 66 expect to spend more on exploration and other capital spending in 2022, none of those companies expect to hit 2019 spending levels. (read more)
This economic pain is being intentionally inflicted on a national and international level. This is a feature, not a flaw, in the ideological quest for a “Build Back Better” society, or in the words of the World Economic Forum, “The Great Reset.”
The use of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is the purposeful deployment of a distraction and justification for economic hardships that have little to do with Ukraine or Russia. We were on this path long before Ukraine entered the picture. Global government, including our own, are using the Ukraine crisis as an excuse for an energy based economic outcome they created.
The multinational corporations who drive WEF financial policy, are targeting the policy of government. From their corporate perspective, this is all a simple matter of increasing income. This is a very bad scenario right now.
Fascism was traditionally defined as an authoritarian government working hand-in-glove with corporations to achieve objectives. A centralized autocratic government, headed by a dictatorial leader, using severe economic and social regimentation and forcible suppression of opposition.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) was created to use the same fundamental associations of government and corporations. Only this time, it was the multinational corporations who organized to tell the government(s) what to do. The WEF was organized for multinational corporations to assemble and tell the various governments how to cooperate with them, in order to be rewarded by them. Corporatism was/is the outcome. The government is now doing what the multinationals tell them to do, and in return, the multinationals install the compliant politicians.
Fascism, the cooperation between government and corporations, is still the underlying premise; the World Economic Forum simply flipped the internal dynamic putting the corporations in charge of handing out the instructions.
What results is a slightly modified definition of fascism:
…A massive multinational corporate conglomerate, telling a centralized autocratic government leader what to do, and using severe economic and social regimentation as a control mechanism, combined with forcible suppression of opposition by both the corporations and government.
Doesn’t that define our current reality?
The instructions from the multinational corporations to government would be called the “Great Reset“, or as commonly transposed by the government officials receiving the instructions, “Build Back Better”.
QUESTION: You think Putin should win? Why do you support Putin?
SB
ANSWER: Do you really think that Putin should be defeated? What planet are you on? If Putin is defeated in Ukraine, then the entire fate of Russia hangs in the balance. Do you honestly think he would let the collapse of Russia take place? At that point, any animal will attack if its back is against the wall. If Ukraine were to win, the ONLY option for Putin will be to push the red button. Are you drinking the government’s Kool-Aid?
We better pray for a diplomatic solution and the world has to stop cheering Zelensky. He has tried to engulf the entire world. He has been asking for jets from everyone. They are wisely standing aside for if any NATO country sends in troops or jets to Ukraine, it is an all-out war.
Be very careful who you are cheering for. This is not a soccer match or a video game. Zelensky gets billions from all the Russian gas that flows to Europe through Ukraine. He is fighting for revenue. He cut off all the water supply to Crimea while he has been shelling the Donbas. None of this is being reported by the mainstream press. Crimea sits on top of vast gas fields which he wants desperately to compete with Russia.
My fear is that Zelensky has not done the obvious solution to yield the Donbas. If Putin then continued then it is really to regain control of Ukraine because it is critical to Russian gas supplies to Europe. I do not know why Zelensky has thought he could defeat Russia alone. It just makes no sense. Now all of Ukraine is at risk. All we can do is hope for a diplomatic resolution.
QUESTION: You said that perhaps Biden misled Zelensky into thinking the US would support Ukraine. When do you think he did that?
DH
ANSWER: Back in November 2021 when they entered into an agreement. Biden has sent troops ONLY to those nations in NATO. They clearly realize Putin’s point that NATO has been constantly moving eastward. It is not just Ukraine. Putin warned that if Finland and Sweden entered NATO that too would have devastating effects. As long as the West portrays itself with the white hat and only Putin is unreasonable, this is the foundation of propaganda that is necessary to get the people to support a war against Russia.
My concern is that this is not going to simply be a war against Russia. You better include all the Chinese and Russian allies which include not just Iran and North Korea, but many other states including Serbia. I do not see why Ukraine fights to keep two Russian provinces when this is just a throwback to 19th-century imperialism because of borders. The American Revolution was fought over the same ideology.
Look, I wrote back in 2013 that “[t]he history of Ukraine is incredibly important in the entire Cycle of War” and that “Ukraine Maybe The Most Important Country To Watch.” I advised people on how to win their revolution in Ukraine in 2014. I have tried to defeat my own computer and have failed. This is not my personal opinion. You cannot forecast these things from a gut feeling.
Why has Zelensky refused to compromise? This makes no sense. Relinquish Donbas which wants to leave Ukraine and end the war. Then if Putin does not stop, we have a different situation. I hope Zelensky is not going this for other countries rather than his own people. You can scream that Putin is evil all you want. That will not stop the war, and then you must ask is this worth seeing your own family die on the battlefields of Ukraine? What is to gain other than bragging points for world leaders?

Col Douglas Macgregor appeared for a sit-down interview with Tucker Carlson tonight to discuss the latest developments in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
So far, Macgregor is the one who has been the most accurate in his assessments when compared to the results on the ground in Ukraine. If what Macgregor outlines in this interview is correct, and there’s no reason to believe it isn’t, then President Putin has been planning this operation for a long time.
As the multinational corporations, multinational banks, collective corporate and political west along with the EU, NATO and media, tell Ukraine to keep fighting, it appears Russia is moving through a methodical plan they have no hope of stopping. This would explain why the Russian convoys are pausing before going hardcore on the cities and population centers. WATCH:

House Republican Victoria Spartz (Indiana CD-05) is originally from Nosivka in eastern Ukraine. Mrs. Spartz emigrated to the United States in 2000 after meeting her husband who is from Indiana.
During the Republican House press conference today, Representative Spartz delivered passionate remarks about her homeland and the regional war between Russia and Ukraine that is impacting her distant family.
The region in Ukraine outlined by Representative Spartz, is the eastern Ukraine region that has been in a state of constant conflict over the past eight years. The Russian aligned separatists in eastern Ukraine have been fighting the western Ukraine military. The Russian military forces are now supporting the separatists and tilting the outcome of the fight.
WASHINGTON DC – […] “This is not a war, this is a genocide of the Ukrainian people by a crazy man who cannot get over the Ukrainian people do not want socialism, Soviet Union, communism,” Spartz, who represents Indiana, told reporters during a GOP news conference about President Biden’s State of the Union address. “They want to be with the United States of America. They want to be free people. They want to be with the West.” (read more)
Mrs. Spartz also answered questions from media attendees (video below).
There is a lot of complexity within the struggle inside Ukraine. There are layers of additional motives by outside elements, including the United States government and NATO, that makes that internal complexity exponential.
The conflict as presented by the corporate media boils this complex issue down to a Russia (Putin) -vs- Ukraine (Zelenskyy) issue, and that framework is done purposefully. However, inside Ukraine there are ideological factions just like there are in other nations. The influence by the U.S. and the influence by Russia has been an ongoing back-and-forth for well over a decade.
Similar to how the issues within Syria were never as simple as the media portrayed with the ever-horrible Bashir Assad, the issues in Ukraine are more complex than just horrible Vladimir Putin. When only one side of any complex issue is supported by western corporate media, the truth gets lost, because the truth is different depending on which internal faction you are talking to.
There are many Russians inside Russia who are aligned ideologically with the outlook of New York and California Democrats. There are many Ukrainians inside Ukraine who are aligned with the outlook of DC Republicans. The opposite of both is also true.
Overlay the financial motives of the World Economic Forum crowd atop the ideological motives of the Davos globalist crowd, and you realize just how convoluted these geopolitical battles can become.
Because of the influential position of the U.S. on a global scale, the outlook of Americans is valuable for each party. Therefore, there is a real battle for our mind.
Is Putin all good, no. Is Putin all bad, no. The same applies for just about every leader.
In the U.S. we are currently split about 50/50 on many issues, including -as we have seen- the issues surrounding COVID, masks, vaccinations, mandates, etc. In the battlespace of internet, we can see these differences become more visible.
Historically, our reference points were neighborhood and community based; there was less conflict visible to us, because generally on a local level there’s more unity. However, now with technology we see a much bigger picture of opinion, and with that scale of visibility we see much more conflicting opinion.
In your local tribe, there’s likely nowhere near as much friction as you witness in the social strata of the internet. That reality is why CTH continues to reemphasize the value of fellowship and local contact.
Keep this in mind as you absorb information from all sources, as you are always witnessing more conflict on-line than exists in local reality. That is the nature of this massive interconnected system that has been created by big tech.
In eastern Ukraine there are just as many people who would dispute how Representative Spartz would frame the issues, if not more. That’s not to say her outline of the situation is wrong, it just comes from a different point of reference.
In the larger dynamic, the problem that always existed with “globalism”, and the multicultural utopia they have hoped to achieve, is that in the largest of assemblies there is always more friction. The “new world order” is conflict against freedom. (Think of this as a big picture Western Ukraine outlook)
The smart nationalists have noticed this conflict; they have discussed and studied it and eventually chosen a different direction. Eventually the desire for peace, to be left alone, becomes the fulcrum of why the independent nation state is the best form of government. (Think of this as a big picture Eastern Ukraine outlook)
We in the USA are fortunate because we still have, albeit in a weakened status, a genuine constitutional republic. Meaning, each state can modify lifestyle according to the desires and choices of the people within it. If more nations took that approach, perhaps there would be less civil conflict.
Ultimately, if the United States ever fully dissolves the distinction of states, we will see greater conflict.
