Lab-Grown Meat Marketed to Children


Posted originally on Jan 30, 2026 by Martin Armstrong |  

Are we eating real, whole food? The USDA and FDA permit companies to sell barely consumable “food” filled with chemicals to the American public. Studies confirm that these processed foods often lead to health issues and have caused the nation to lead in the obesity epidemic. Prepare for the situation to worsen as lab-grown meat is now being marketed to children.

Lab-grown meat has been readily available for years, thanks in part to mega initiatives bankrolled by the likes of Bill Gates. You are the carbon that they wish to eliminate. “You will eat bugs,” as the infamous Klaus Schwab line goes, was merely the beginning of what the globalists, intent on ushering in the Great Reset, have planned for the masses. Food production is bad for the environment; therefore, people must resort to lab-created synthetic products.

Millions of children around the world subscribe to an online personality named Mr. Beast. He recently took his young audience for a tour of a $200 million plant run by Upside Foods that produces hundreds of thousands of pounds of fake meat. Mr. Beast (Jimmy Donaldson) explains to his young audience that “meat” grown from animal cells does not require slaughter. It requires less strain on the environment as water, land, and emissions are minimal. The online celebrity tells his young audience that it tastes as good as real meat, and strongly suggests normalizing lab-grown menu items.

Mr. Beast has partnered with the Rockefeller Foundation and has been called “the new Bill Gates.” The FDA and USDA has already provided Upside Food the authority to sell “cell-cultivated meat product” to the public. Mr. Beast’s role is peddling this fake food to children who are adaptable and more willing to accept new norms.

No one knows the health consequences of lab-grown meat on public health. The World Economic Forum insisted that the world must decrease its meat consumption. First, the WEF took an environmental, climate-change approach, but now it will claim that livestock consume too much water.

Bill Gates is a huge investor in this mechanism. Gates said all wealthy nations should switch to synthetic meat, buy up vast tracts of farmland, and invest in his own cultivated-meat business. The cultivated fake meat industry was valued at around $247 million in 2022, and it is expected to spike to $25 billion by 2030 – right on time for Agenda 2030. The Food Safety and Inspection Service has not determined how they will label these products; therefore, you may be eating pre-cancerous fake meat cells without your knowledge in the near future. What easier way to ensure these products end up in your refrigerator than to market them to impressionable children who do not understand the dangers?

Cost of Living Rising Faster in Blue Cities

World Highest Standard of Living

Cycles are often systemic, predictable, and, as I have long argued, often the result of policy distortions interacting with underlying structural forces. The latest data showing where the cost of living is rising fastest in the United States is a textbook example of how centralized, urban-centric policies can create persistent price pressures and distort economic incentives.

According to a new study by Plasma, the cities where the cost of living is rising fastest are:

  1. New York City
  2. San Diego, California
  3. San Francisco, California
  4. Los Angeles, California
  5. Seattle, Washington
  6. Boston, Massachusetts
  7. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
  8. San Jose, California
  9. Chicago, Illinois
  10. Baltimore, Maryland
Housing

All of these metros are either solidly Democratic blue or dominated by policies implemented by progressive leadership. Broader evidence shows higher costs in blue states and blue cities due to higher regulation, taxes, and constrained housing supply.

While red and purple cities also experience price pressures, the magnitude is markedly different. Berkley conducted a study to determine why costs rise rapidly in blue-driven areas. Data show blue stated and the cities within them exhibit higher cost structures compared to their red and purple counterparts, particularly in housing. Berkley noted that the trend of higher costs in blue states has been a 15-year trend in the making. “A combination of high demand for housing and restrictions on supply that lead to shortage drive high housing costs in blue states,” the study notes.

The study looks at  Regional Price Parities (RPP) data, produced by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) annually to determine national pricing levels. Each element of RPP, from housing, utilities, goods, and services, is distinctly higher in blue states. Utilities, as of 2023, were 45% more expensive in blue states, while housing jumped 52% higher than purple or red areas.

Blue states have greater levels of regulation-driven housing shortages. “Environmental regulations and policies promoting clean energy likely play a role,” the study admits. Zoning restrictions have prevented blue areas from creating enough housing to meet demand.

Urban centers like New York, San Francisco, and Boston are global magnets for capital and labor. The concentration of finance, tech, and high-skill jobs amplifies price pressure. Higher demand leads to higher costs, which leads higher wage demands and overall price levels. But policies will not permit the market to operate freely, and areas are reserved for government-approved housing. Government makes it increasingly difficult to build housing that they cannot control and monitor. Interventions like rent controls and mandates further distorts supply.

These areas also have massive budget shortfalls. New York City’s self-proclaimed socialist mayor Mamdani admitted that high earners will need to pay more in taxes to meet budget deficits. That plan has never worked and only successfully leads to capital flight. The drastic difference in pricing between blue and red or purple cities and states shows how policy and policed markets can distort pricing.

Physical Bank Branches Disappearing – Relationship Banking is Dead


Posted originally on Jan 30, 2026 by Martin Armstrong |

Physical bank branches are disappearing along with relationship banking. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) files state that the US lost a net total of 339 bank branches in December 2025. The S&P Global and Federal Reserve found that the US has been losing, on average, 1,600 bank branches per year.

Santander announced that it would be shuttering 44 branches in Q1 2026, noting a move toward digital banking. TD Bank plans to close 51 branches across 13 states as it aims to cut 10% of its brick-and-mortar locations. JPMorgan Chase announced 66 branch closures in late 2025. US Bank, Wells Fargo, PNC, Bank of America, Citizens Bank, Flagstar, and every other major banking chain are moving away from physical banking as people favor online convenience, and the government favors online monitoring.

Digital banking will continue to grow. Branches will continue to close. But do not confuse a trend with a solution. Convenience is being sold as innovation, yet what is really happening is the consolidation of financial power and the reduction of public access points.

Relationship banking was built on human judgment. Transactional banking is built on algorithmic approval. This is something I have warned about for years.

Under relationship banking, they lent you money but monitored your business and ability to repay. This imposed some rational constraints. Under the new transactional banking model, the New York bankers sought to repeal Glass-Steagall, and they have transformed into brokers, packaged loans, and resold them. They no longer cared about the borrower, for the motive is how they can sell it.

Under relationship banking, your local banker knew who you were. They understood your business, your family, your reputation, and your history in the community. Loans were not always granted because a formula said yes. They were granted because character and long-term trust mattered. The system was decentralized in practice, even when imperfect. Now you are reduced to a data profile.

A banker could vouch for a person based on their relationship and push through loan approval. With transactional banking, a model can reject the loan, and that’s the end of the discussion. One is local, and the other is centralized.

As governments move toward tighter financial surveillance, digital currencies, and automated reporting, relationship banking becomes an obstacle. It introduces flexibility into a system that regulators want to be rigid.

AFD Calls of Zelensky to Pay for Blowing Up Nord Stream

2026_01_29_20_48_49_Zelenskyy_Should_Pay_for_Blowing_Up_Nord_Stream_German_Co_Leader_of_the_AfD_S

Perhaps there is no greater example of how the EU elite couldn’t care less about the people who constantly support their hand-picked puppet Zelensky, yet turn a blind eye to his blowing up of Nord Stream. Every European leader who supports Zelensky should be thrown in prison for treason.  ONLY the AFD in Germany has stood for law and order and recently said:

“Zelenskyy Should Pay for Blowing Up Nord Stream”

Zelensky does not care for anyone but himself. He has destroyed German jobs to try to hurt Russia and does not care what he does to anyone else. Any European that supports Ukraine is a traitor to the people of Europe.

From the outset, just 3 months into the war, I reported that Ukraine lost 100,000 soldiers. Some instantly accused me of put out Russian propaganda because they love to listen to the Neocon propaganda. It turns out that was classified information. Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the EU, had released a video and then edited it deleting that very information I reported at the request of Zelensky. All this is to hide the fact that Ukraine has been losing the war. With its armed forces down at least one-third in the first few months.

2022_04_09_16_20_53_Pentagon_can_t_independently_confirm_atrocities_in_Ukraine_s_Bucha_official_say

There is absolutely NOTHING that Zelensky has said that has proven to be true. In Italy, he claimed Russians were capturing children and torturing them. This was another outrageous lie. That allegation vanished. He says whatever he can to get money. He could have just complied with the Belgrad and Minsk Agreements but he is determined to lead the world into war. Trump, according to sources, has told him he must surrender the Donbas to get security guarantees.

The US Pentagon has come out and even said that they CAN NOT independently verify what took place in Bucha. There is no way to verify anything in Bucha and there are videos that show people laying in the street pretending to be dead with no blood and then there are videos showing they get up when the camera passes.

Ukraine_Crucifies_Man_Burns_Christian_Icons

I have videos that are too horrible to even post of Ukrainian taking captured Russian soldiers, crucifying them, and then burning them alive. Ukraine is the motherland of ethnic cleansing. That is why the CIA protected them because they were killing Russians.

Indepentent Neo Nazis

Anyone who thinks this I am Putin supporter, I will pay for your ticket to Ukraine and even buy you a gun. Go put your manipulated beliefs to the test.

President Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, arrived in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Monday.  Today he gives a press conference following meetings with the Minnesota governor and Minneapolis mayor.

Mr Homan said he is now supervising the capture and removal of all criminal aliens from the Minneapolis region. ICE agents together with Customs and Border Patrol officials will continue operations throughout the region and the governor and mayor have given their assurances they will no longer attempt to interfere with capture, detainment and removal efforts.

Virginia Senator and SSCI Vice Chairman, Mark Warner, is Very Concerned About Tulsi Gabbard

Posted originally on CTH on January 29, 2026 | Sundance

Senator Mark Warner is the vice-chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI). In his position he is also a member of the intelligence community oversight group known as the “Gang of Eight.”  Senator Mark Warner replaced Senator Dianne Feinstein in 2017 for his SSCI position. Dianne Feinstein’s former chief-of-staff Dan Jones was a central participant in the 2016 Trump-Russia targeting effort.

Senator Warner moved into position in 2017 to sit at the center of the legislative branch effort to support the targeting and removal of President Trump. Warner ran cover for the actions in 2016 and worked to construct the fraudulent narrative after President Trump took office.  On March 17, 2017, shortly after 4:00pm, Senator Mark Warner entered the senate SCIF with SSCI Security Director James Wolfe to review the Title-1 search warrant used against U.S. citizen Carter Page.  The ‘read and return’ documents were delivered by FBI special agent Brian Dugan.  James Wolfe took 82 pictures of the FISA application (one picture per page) and then sent them to Buzzfeed journalist Ali Watkins. ¹{Background}

Mid-March 2017 Senator Mark Warner was trying to support the appointment of a special counsel to target President Trump, his directed leak was to support that objective.  Three days later, March 20, 2017, FBI Director James Comey appeared before congress and admitted the FBI was investigating Donald Trump. Senator Warner then used his position as SSCI vice-chair to advance the DC legislative efforts against President Trump.

Senator Mark Warner is very concerned about Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, being in Fulton County, Georgia, yesterday when the search warrant for election records was carried out.  Senator Mark Warner is very concerned.

[¹ My position has never changed. I fully support former SSCI Security Director James Wolfe being given immunity from prosecution in exchange for his cooperation and testimony as to the involvement of Vice Chairman Mark Warner.  The other person who knows the granular details of how the leak took place is FBI Special Agent Brian Dugan, who investigated the Wolfe leak.]

♦ Within the Wolfe indictment you’ll notice the “Top Secret” document picked-up by SSCI Director James Wolfe took place on March 17th, 2017:

♦ Within the Mark Warner text messages you’ll note the SSCI Vice-Chairman went into the SSCI Secured Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) on March 17th, 2017, shortly after 4:00pm:
♦ Within the declassified and released FISA application you’ll notice the copy date from the FISA clerk for the FISA application was March 17th, 2017:

The information within the three events (Warner Text release, Wolfe Indictment release, and Carter Page FISA release) shows the connection of the events.  James Wolfe took custody of the Carter Page FISA, delivered it to the SCIF, it was reviewed by SSCI Vice-Chair Mark Warner, and then leaked by James Wolfe.

“82 Text Messages” The FISA application was 83 pages with one blank page. It was the Carter Page FISA application that James Wolfe leaked to Ali Watkins as outlined within the unsealed June 2018 indictment.

Sidebar, a fourth albeit buried public release came on December 14th 2018 confirmed everything.

The FBI filed a sentencing recommendation proving it was the Carter Page FISA that was leaked:

I only share the sidebar (out of chronological sequence) to emphasize there is no doubt it was the FISA application that James Wolfe leaked.

During his initial summer and fall negotiations with the DOJ, lawyers representing James Wolfe threatened to subpoena the SSCI in his defense.  The implication was that Wolfe was directed to leak the FISA by members of the committee.

The Wolfe defense team delayed pre-trial discussions with the DOJ, stalling for time throughout the fall of 2018 until the November midterms. Democrats won the 2018 midterm races and took control over the House.

In the lame-duck congressional period following the election, very specific senators on the SSCI asked the DOJ to go easy on Wolfe: Richard Burr, Dianne Feinstein and Mark Warner.
